How to use a compressor to fix the sound of a 2 track live recording?
Can anyone show me the basics - or where to look on the internet?
I have some live recordings from a gig - in stereo. you can't hear the acoustic bass - and the sax and trumpet are way too loud - unfortunately - it was recorded direct to 2 track.
I know this is a deep question - but, even some simple basics of how to boost the bass and get some mids would be helpful.
Thanks in advance!
You asked about a compressor in your subject, but I'm not sure thats what you need. In any case, I got a lot of use out of this pdf back in the day, and still look at it sometimes:
http://www.presonus.com/pdf/dynamics_processors.pdf
Technically it goes with one of there products, but there is loads of general info.
I would start with your eq, go into your channel eq and make a pretty sharp full cut, not more than 100hz wide. drag it across the spectrum slowly and you will get a feel for what sounds reside where. After you know this you can likely make cuts where the horns come in the most and boost the bass. Bright horns are going have have a lot of body above 7k, while string bass will reside mostly between 70 and 1000

i had iphone 5s which was accidently dropped in water i dont know if it could be fixed or not but is it possible to save my data using i clouds without fixing the phone
if you set it up to sync with iclouds in terms of contacts and calendar and the likes in advanced the data is still in icloud
if you set it up to backup to iclouds since you only get 5GB free storage you would likely had paid to get more or used very little storage on your phone then the backup is still in iclouds
about if it can be fixed then read

How to Use an Image to Customize the Static Button Widget
Can I just get someone to help me figure out how to use an image to customize the static button widget, please?
I have tried using several different types of images, but none of them seem to actually change the appearance of the button.
Thanks!
Laura
Captivate 5.5I tried to use the tools within the widget itself - it offers you the opportunity to use an image (see screenshot below).
I also opened it in Flash and tried to replace the images for one of the button styles there w/ my own, but in re-publishing the SWF from there I broke the widget. When I attempted to use the edited widget, there were no customization controls available after I inserted it (see screenshot two below). -
SSHR reskin AKA 'How to Use Adobe Flash to Transform the Look and Feel...
There was a presentation at the OHUG 2011 Conference titled 'How to Use Adobe Flash to Transform the Look and Feel of Oracle HR Self Service'. It presented a method of 're-skinning' SSHR to present a different UI to the user.
Looking for anyone out there that has attempted to apply this to their Oracle HRSS pages. I know this company has developed (is developing?) a product based on this approach. I want to see if anyone has done it on their own and would be willing to share some details.
Follow-up question. Has anyone availed themselves of the bespoke UI Development based on this approach from Applaud Solutions (as mentioned on their website), and care to comment on your experience?Any update on this please? Even we are looking for some pointers in this area.

Why would you want to do this? It's harder than copying the file in Java (by reading the file and writing it to a new file) and you'll need to write new code each time you want to port your code to a new OS.

If you actually used MacKeeper to alter your system, e.g. "remove excess binaries" or such, you will need to reinstall OS X as well as all your additional software. Uninstalling MacKeeper is insufficient to reverse the corruption it is capable of - once again, that is if you used it.
If you merely installed MacKeeper but did not use it to perform any particular action, the following instructions will suffice.
If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.
May I suggest that you review the following setting in System Preferences?
Although you may easily override that setting, it will serve to protect you from inadvertently installing garbage. The overwhelming majority of Macs I come across have the MacKeeper installer file already present in their Downloads folder, often multiple copies of it. The downloaded file itself can do nothing until it is opened and installed, and the above setting (known as Gatekeeper - not to be confused with MacKeeper) will prevent that from occurring.
I wanted to know how to use my macbook retina to the best of its potential.
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind. -

How much will it cost to fix the LCD screen of my iPhone 3G at the Apple Store?
I went upstairs to check my Phone and a plain white screen with verticle lines kept showing. I turned it off and back on and did the same. I can't see anything but the white screen!
How much will it cost to fix the LCD- beacuse i heard it was the LCD- how much in the Apple Store??!Try a Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts on its own.
If still problems, take iPhone to Apple Store, they charge $99 (not $199) for Front Screen Replacement on iPhone 3g.
But before they do that, ask them to Reseat Flex Cable #1 (LCD display flex cable) to see if this will fix the Screen for Free.
