How to use Compressor / Limiter effect?

Hello all,
I inserted a 2nd voice track that needs increased volume beyond raising the timeline volume bar. When I drop Compressor / Limiter effect onto the voice clips in the timeline and adjust Threshold(dB) there is no sound change at all. I have headphones on. I've tried all combinations of checking and un-checking Compression & Preserve Volume boxes. Am I missing a part of the set up on the audio clip itself?

Try using the Dynamic Processor filter.

FWIW, you won't notice a change in the Compressor Limiter filer until you apply some amount of compression (increase the compression ratio).

How to use Color Splash Effect in Photoshop CS6?

Hi everyone
Can you guy help me out How to use Color Splash Effect in Photoshop CS6? I need to use in slide in my web
Thanks

You mean "leave part in color and make the rest black and white"?
Just select or mask the part that should be B&W and desaturate, or use the B&W adjustment.
Or you can add a B&W adjustment layer and mask out the parts that should stay in color.

How to use X-Fi Effects without selecting SB as the default sound device?

How to use X-Fi Effects without selecting SB as the default sound device?Hello everyone,
That's my situation.
I have Sound Blaster X-Fi Go sound card and I am using SRS HD Audio Lab. SRS HD Audio Lab was selected as the default audio device and X-Fi effects (X-Fi CMSS-3d, Equalizer etc.) was working without any problem in Windows Xp. I have Windows 7 now and when i select SRS HD Audio Lab as the default device, Creative effects are not working, i must select "SB X-Fi Go!" to get them working but i can't use SRS HD Audio Lab in that case. SRS is also using SB X-Fi Go sound card as the output and volume adjustment on console launcher is working but something is disabling the effects. Any solutions to enable effects ?
Thanks.

If the kernel modules for your sound card and webcam both support the index parameter (use modinfo to find out) then adding
options <name_of_preferred_card's_kernel_module> index=0
options <name_of_second_card's_kernel_module> index=1
to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (or another modprobe conf file of your choice) should solve the problem.

How to use the stabilizer effect on Adobe premiere elements 11

Can anyone show me how to use the video stabilizer effect on premiere elements 11 step by step ?
Thank you !

I suspect that the principles would lend themselves to a step by step but how the effect works with your specific video will depend upon the degree of shakiness and other factors.
1. Your video clip on the Timeline of a project with the project settings which match the properties of your source video (part of all works whether or not the Stabilizer is involved.
2. Go to fx Effects Tab at the bottom of the Expert View, navigate to the Video Stabilizer and click on it to view its thumbnail. Drag the effect's thumbnail from there into the video clip on the Timeline.
3 I ran into an online excerpt of the Video Stabilizer in Adobe's Classroom in a Book, you may want to follow the path from there.

Also, you might want to put that information together with Adobe Effects Reference's description of the options iin the Applied Effects Palette/Stabilizer Panel.

(Scroll down until you get to Video Stabilizer options description.)
The above should supply with good starter information. If you need clarification on anything that I have written, please do not hesitate to ask.

How to use custom sound effects

One of the few good things one could do in Windows was to assign any sound effect you wanted to use to just about any operating system or other event. For example, you could have Captain Pecard say "Minimize" whenever you minimized a window.
OS X (10.7 Lion in my case) doesn't make this as easy. If you want to add your own sound effects to the pre-installed sound effects you get when you open System Preferences → Sound → Sound Effects, you must manually add them to the correct folder after first converting them into .aiff format.
I've done all this successfully, but I don't know the last step, namely, how to assign the new sound to a 'Custom' event. I see my new sound files in the right place (System Preferences → Sound → Sound Effects), but it just says 'Custom' for the alert sount type.
Help would be appreciated.
Ted

So? Just select the name. BTW, all that does is select which one you want to use for ALERTs, nothing else. For anything else, such as those contained in
/System/Library/Components/CoreAudio.component/Contents/Resources/SystemSounds/f inder/ you need to rename the new sound as the original and put them into that same location.

How to use Pixel Bender Effects in After Effects

Hello,
if I create a filter in Pixel Bender I can save it as
.pbk-file. But After Effects uses .aex-files for PlugIns. How can I
load .pbk in After Effects or change file-format to .aex or what
can I do?
Thanks for each help!

Oh, now I copied the .pnb-file in the PlugIn-Folder.
Now I saw the new category Pixel Bender in the Effects menu.
Thank You!

How to use keyword tags effectively in pse 8

No matter what I try, have not been able to make keyword tags work effectively. Have followed all directions from books and others. Even customer support was not able to help.
The problem is that tagged photos will not show up by themselves. All other photos in the catalog open at the same time. The tagged photos sometimes show a blue circle with a white check mark through it. All the other photos show a red circle with a slash accross it in the upper left hand corner of the photos.
Customer support says that that is how the program works. I don't believe it!
Wold uninstalling and reinstalling pse 8 work?
Any other suggestions?

Would you consider suggesting a work-flow for someone who is just starting out with Organizer? (As an aside, if you are familiar with Picasa, would you give your opinion about the relative merits of Picasa and PSE Organizer?)
In all honesty, I can longer recommend the Organizer -- it's buggy, slow, hard to use, and Adobe shows little inclination for fixing bugs that have been around since PSE 6 or earlier. (I use it because I have large catalogs dating back to Photoshop Album 1.) See my review:
http://www.amazon.com/review/R332BXA5A70OL9/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm
As for alternatives: At the low end, many people are satisfied with the free or almost-free programs: iPhoto, Picasa, Windows Live Photo Gallery (which in my opinion is better than iPhoto). These are fast and easier to use than PSE and can handle thousands of photos. For more sophisticated users with larger catalogs, many people like Lightroom, Aperture, Imatch, Idimager, and ACDsee Pro.

How to use Compressor for FCP X to YouTube

I just downloaded "Compressor 4" and find it's interface a lot more complex than FCP X. All I want to do is send my video to "YouTube".
The last video I uploaded to "YouTube" was a 1.25 hour HD video, using FCP X's Share to QT 7. It took 17 hours to upload this QT file to YouTube. I would like to upload the next 1.25 hour HD video at a lower resolution. I can't afford to ty up my only computer for so long.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
David

The Compressor preset for video sharing defaults to 720p and a bit rate 8 Mbs. If your orginal footage is 720, that's what I'd stay with. Actually, I might even bump up the bit rate; You Tubes just going to recompress and you might as well give them more to work with than less. If you started with 1080P, I would not scale it down.
I'm not sure I understand what happened with your 17 hour upload…specifically, how you came to share your video to QT7. I normally export from either FCX or FCP7 as QT movie self-contained, bring that into Compressor and encode for eb downoad using one of trhe h.264 presets as a start. If I re-size, I use frame controls. If I need to de-interlace, I also use frame controls. If I don't need to do either, or need filters, I let Compressor figure pretty much figure it out. I've never uploaded a movie aslong as yours. but if I did, I woud expect it to take under 2 hours…maybe.
Perhaps there was soething going on with at You Tube's end.

How to use compressor with logic 7?

I'm trying to record an audio track using the compressor provided by logic. I know that I can insert a compressor to the audio track, but is my understanding that the audio is not compressed when recorded. Is this true? or is there a work around? Thanks

listen man
if you can afford an analog compressor then go for that
source---> tube pre-amp ---> ANALOG COMPRESSOR ----> mixer (for hardware monitoring if you want) ---> Interface
if you do get a compressor try something with a gate and a limiter built into it as well
1: limiter is good for setting a level where nothing will over pass that level
2: gate is a good idea incase you wanna get a good decent sound out of your Tube pre-amp without worrying about the low dirty sounds
you can use the gate to cut signals below some level, lets say you
Threshold : -50 dbu
Ratio : 2:1
Attack : 1 ms
Release : 1 sec ( depending on what you want)
Output : -3 db
this just a example of what i set for most of my clients, what is, is that i get them in about 30 mins before session and we do sound check plus mic positioning and settings for the PREAMP, COMPRESSOR AND LEVELS IN
doing all this means the singers / rappers will feel comfortable singing like they are on stage or in their bathroom
don't let an artist change for you if the artist is good and they happy with their style, position, volume and groove ( because the song will lack of taste and feel at the end)
tip: recording onto computer/ digital should not clip, you can make the tube as hot as you want but make sure you are about -3 db below clip
because sometimes good takes only comes once and distorting it and making the clients record about 80x will make the clients lose the feel
after recording good takes you can go on and compressor to your needs or gain to your needs
good tip : always make sure you get a good sound before recording or before hitting the disk, less time cutting and pasting more time creating other good things
and don't over compress with the analog compressor, always leave space for extra stuff just incase

How to use compressor?

Someone send that once I finish editing in FCP, I export to compressor, use the DVD 90min best quality and AC Dobly 2.0 audio. I did so and once I click "submit" all it produces is an audio that can be put into DVD Studio. Where does the video part of it go? Am I not checking something to make the video compress as well? Im lost, thanks!

Open Compressor's History window. Locate the video portion of your batch and click the magnifying glass to locate the file in the Finder.

How to use the XYBubbleRenderer

I have found in the JFreeChart api that there is a method for turning data points into a bubble via the XYBubbleRenderer. How ever i do not know how to use this renderer effectively. It says the z value determines the size of the bubble. Does any body know how to use this renderer and if how? If this is not the best method to do this, could some body please guide me to the correct way please.

I have had a similar problem and I share your pain. The support for serial numbers in UCS is not great. What's worse is that the Cisco Customer Service Centre (CSCC) are absolutely clueless about UCS so they will close requests where you quote the vendor serial number, as being invalid, and then try to tell you that what you have quoted isn't a UCS component.
For example, I've been trying to get the serial numbers of my two CPUs updated for over 2 months with CSCC (due to a DOA RMA). CSCC have no idea what to do and continually close cases relating to this request stating that the chassis serial number is right, ignoring that it's the CPU serial numbers which I keep asking for that need to be updated. Compounding that, the CPU serial numbers aren't accessible in CIMC unless I dismantle the server and actually pull the CPUs out to examine them.
I just hope that I don't need to ever have a CPU replaced one day, as none of the serial numbers will match when it happens.
What would be really useful is if there was an enhancement request in Bug Toolkit to gather all the correct details in UCS, much like there is in IOS ("show inv") for routers and switches.

How to use Photoshop elements more efficiently

I have a blog Jobs & Newspaper Job Ads i frequently used Adobe Photoshop and other Adobe products to make banners,advertisements and other things for marketing,I need help of how to use all tools effectively and which element shoud be applied first and which one last as i feel a bit diffcult to creat more complex and close to nature graphics.

I am unaware of a universal work flow.
Suggest the following considerations for your projects:
For printing, resolution should be 240-300 px/in. For web work, 72 px/in is ok
File>new>blank>file will allow you to set the parameters
Optimize the background
Add your component graphics. Each should be on a separate layer. Ideally, the resolution of the graphics should be the same value as used in step #2
Make adjustments with adjustment layers, e.g. levels, brightness/contrast
Sharpen last
Please post examples of your work in progress for additional guidance.
