I want to eliminate the time between songs in my movie

I want to eliminate the time between songs in a movie I a created. Even though they "but up" visually, there is a gap between the ending of one song and the start of the next.

The easiest way to do this is to drag the songs in and drop them on the frame of video where you want then to start. The song will appear as a ribbon below the video clips rather than as a solid color in the background. You can drag this ribbon to the left or right. So if you have 2 songs, you can drag the second song to the left so that it overlaps with the end of the first song.
Here is a good video tutorial for how audio works in iMovie.
The method I am referring to is used for sound effects in the tutorial, but it works equally well for music.

How can I eliminate the pause between songs on playback on the Nano?

I recently downloaded an album by Steve Reich that is intended to be played as one long uninterrupted song. The album is divided into tracks, however, and my iPod Nano always stops for a second or two between songs.
Is there anyway to get it to play them continuously without interruption?

This question is one that crops up a lot on these forums (it's one of the most frequently asked questions) and has been a major source of complaint for as long as the iPod has been in existence.
Currently the only way to eliminate the gap between songs is to import the cd as one track. You do this by using the “join cd tracks” option in the advanced menu of iTunes.
Make sure the tracks are in their correct order, and highlight those you wish to join.
No gaps, but the downside is that you will of course lose the ability to navigate between tracks, and the song info is also lost. The iPod will display the cd title in the song field in the “now playing” screen . You’ll also have one large file instead of a number of smaller ones.
Be aware also that playback of single large audio files can shorten battery playtime between charges.

How can I reduce the time between songs to zero for seemless mixing

Hi, Ive only just got my 5th generation Ipod and was wondering if its possible to reduce the time gap between songs to zero. I.E a lot of Cd's and albums I have are mixed so it doesnt seem there is a pause between each song but when I put the cd's onto my ipod there is still a pause.
For example I have a 2 many djs album which is heavily mixed with a new song every 30 seconds so it is a bit of a nuisance if there is a pause every 30 seconds.

Your question gets asked on a daily basis, and has been answered many times. If you search for 'gapless playback' you'll see how just how many people inquire about this.
In short... the iPod does not support gapless playback.
If you want to eliminate the gaps, one workaround is to join the individual tracks together, and play them as one single track. You can do this by reimporting the CD into iTunes using the 'Join CD Tracks' feature.
See Step 3 in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93079
If you'd like to send feedback to Apple to ask that they include gapless playback as a feature in future revisions of the iPod firmware, you can do so on this feedback page.

How can I increase the transition time between songs on my IPOD? I do not want a fade.

How can I increase transition time between songs on my IPOD? I do not want a fade.

If Crossfade is OFF, the fadeout is actually part of the recording, so you won't be able to change how it fades.
If you want to make the silence (gap) between songs longer, there is only one setting I know of that relates to the gap between songs, and it is in iTunes.
Do a Get Info on a song in iTunes (File -> Get Info OR Cmd-I from keyboard) and go to the Options tab in the Info window. There is a setting called Part of gapless album. If that checkbox is checked, the songs are played with no gap.
I don't know of any other setting in iTunes or the iPod that makes the gap between songs longer.

I want to measure te time between the peaks

I need to measure the time between each peaks (QRS peak) in an ECG waveform continuously and plot on the chart.
Can u please help me with this.

Hello kok,
Here is an example. I am using a sine wave instead but it will still work. Just put in the threshold to be above the itnermediate peaks that you want to ignore but below the peaks you want to get. The VI will then tell you what location inside of the array the peak occured. You can subtract each location from each other to find how many elements pass between peaks. You can then multiply the number of elements between peaks by the amount of time between each sample. I hope this helps.

Time between songs

My grandson, not particularly noted for his patience, claims his first generation shuffle doesn't work properly. In tolerance only a loving grandfather can exhibit I have played his music (which I neither like nor understand) for several hours in both modes and checked out the forward and back buttons. All seems to be working satisfactorily. THE QUESTION: the time BETWEEN selections varies between three or four seconds to 15 or 20 seconds and can be as much as 90 seconds. Is this normal? If not, is there a remedy? My understanding is that some songs have been downloaded from iTunes and some have been ripped from CDs.
Dell Dimension 4550 Windows XP

I don't think you can crossfade songs on a shuffle--the songs are loaded exactly as they are ripped. (You can crossfade in iTunes to reduce/eliminate silence between tracks.)
Many songs have extra space at either the beginning or end of them. 90 seconds sounds a bit long--but believe it or not I once discovered a 17 minute song on my playlist. I knew the song didn't go on forever, so I checked it out. It turns out it was the last song on the album and when the album was cut the song was never ended--the track just ran until the end of the CD (the song itself was only about 4 minutes).
Your grandson should note some of the songs that display these unusual gaps between tracks and then look at the actual song file.
If you have sound editing software, you can cut off the dead space at the beginning or end of songs. It's pretty easy to do this because the songs display as sound waves--and dead space is just a straight line. You can safely snip off the straight lines, re-save the sound file, re-import into iTunes and the problem will be solved.
Or, you can live with the space between tracks knowing there's not much you can do to change it within iTunes.
The only other option is for you or your grandson to burn a CD of songs with no tracks--so it will re-import as one long track. There won't be any spaces, but there won't be any option to shuffle the music either, because it will look like one song to iTunes.

LabVIEW/SignalExpress: How can I automate measuring the time between two pulses?

Hi everyone, bit of a newbie here so please bear with me.
I'm a student at a university conducting a muon decay experiment with an oscilloscope connected to some photomultipliers. To summarize, if a muon enters the detector it will create a very small width pulse (a few ns). Within a period of 10µs it may decay, creating a second pulse. The oscilloscope triggers on the main pulse 5-15 times per second, and a decay event happens roughly 1-2 times per minute. I am trying to collect 10 hours of data (roughly 1500-2000 decay events) and measure the time it takes for each decay.
I've been able to set recording conditions in SignalExpress that starts recording on the first pulse and stops recording on the last. The Tektronix TDS 1012 oscilloscope however feeds 2500 points of data from this snapshot into a text file (for use in excel or other software). Even if I perfectly collected the data, I would have 100,000+ data points and it would be too much to handle. I don't know how (or if it's possible) to reduce the sample size.
To conclude, using Labview or SignalExpress, I would like to be able to have the software
1. Differentiate between the single pulse detections and double pulse decay events
2. Record only when two pulses appear on the oscilloscope
3. Measure the time between these two pulses and ONLY that to minimize the amount of data recorded.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks!

Hi wdavis8,
I am not that familiar with Tektronix, but there should be a place in the dialog that you go through when you create the action step to acquire date to specify a sampling rate. That would allow you to reduce the number of data points you are seeing, but may reduce the quality of the data.
If it’s just a matter of that much data being hard to dig through when you have that many points, you could do some analysis on the data after the fact, and then create a new file with only the data you want to look at. For example, you could identify the peaks in the data, and based on the distance between them or the difference in magnitude, selectively write data to a new file.
Here is some information about peak detection in LabVIEW:
http://www.ni.com/white-paper/3770/en/
You could also do some downsampling on the data to get fewer data points:

Those are just a few quick ideas.

I want to know the difference between Days column and Day1 Column

Hi All,

It is the decode statement that is doing this.
The format of decode is:
decode(expression, search1, result1, search2, result2, searchn, resultn, default)
All result fields must be of the same datatype and will be of the datatype of the first result (result1 in this example)
In your example (the decode for the field Days) the first result is a NULL. I suspect (gurus? anyone?) that Oracle will use the varchar2 overload of the decode statement, and the date field will be converted to varchar2 using your NLS_DATE_FORMAT settings.
In the second decode statment (Day1) the first result is of datatype date, so the result of the decode statement will be a date field (and will be parsed as such by your sql development tool)
I agree, as NULL is the first result returned the datatype is undetermined, so Oracle is picking VARCHAR2 over others, and causing an implicit datatype conversion on the resultant date value, whereas the other which is returned as a date will use the local settings of the client tool being used.
I can replicate the 'issue' in Toad, and it's rectified if we cast the first returned value of the decode statement...
SELECT DECODE ('I', 'I', DECODE (1, NULL, CAST(NULL AS DATE), 0, NULL, SYSDATE + 1)) Days,
DECODE ('I', 'I', SYSDATE + 1) Day1

How can I measure the time between each two successive rising edges ,using Digital Input ?

Hello
I'm trying two measure the time in seconds between each two successive rising edges on a digital input .
Till now I have managed to detect the rising edge ,increment a counter with each rising edge ,and snap the time at which the rising edge happenned
all I need now is to subtract the current rising edge time from the previous rising edge time in order to calculate (T) which can be 1/frequency and display it in realtime to the user.
but I don't know how to do this
Can somebody please help me !!!

Counter without time.vi ‏11 KB

Woah!
Sorry Apok, but your code is becoming way too complicated/messy. I don't think that all of those shift registers or boolean conversion/operators are needed at all.
If you want to measure the timing between two button presses then this is a different (much less complicated) way. It simply records the timing of the button press into a shift register then compares the two.
Spoiler (Highlight to read)
Of course this is a very quick and basic solution just to show you that it can be much simpler than you are making it (remember to use the mechanical actions of the buttons to get the behaviour you want).
A better way would be to use an event structure looking at value changes of the buttons to determine the timings between clicks.

While running the query how much time it will taken, I want to see the time

Hi Folks
I would like to know ... While running the query how much time it will be taken, I want to see the time? in WEBI XI R2.....
Plz let me know the answer.......

Hi Ravi,
The time a report runs is estimated based on the last time it was run. So you need to run the report once before you can see how long it will take. Also it depends on several factors... the database server could cache some queries so running it a second time immediately after the first time could be quicker. And there is the chance of changing filters to bring back different sets of data.
You could also schedule a report and then check the scheduled instance's status properties and view how long a report actually ran.
Good luck

Windows not recognizing my time capsle - I just purchased a new computer that runs windows 8 and it doesn't want to recognize the time capsule as an external hard drive (ie doesn't show up under my compter). I've downloaded airport utility...

I just purchased a new computer that runs windows 8 and it doesn't want to recognize the time capsule as an external hard drive (ie doesn't show up under my compter). I've downloaded and run airport utility, but it seems to have a hard time finding the time capsule...maybe one out of 10 times it will find it.
What's more, when I look under network infrastructure under the control panel, it shows my Broadcom ADSL centurylink Router...so I'm wondering if my modem/router combo is overriding the router function on my timecapsule and the time capsule is not being used as a router...
Any help much appreciated!

In this case the TC should be in bridge mode.
Win8 is still problematic. Try using ethernet instead of wireless. I think the drivers are poor still and it is well worth having a try via ethernet if you haven't already.
Otherwise you will need to wait for apple to release bonjour for windows 8 and airport utility.. which is not out yet.
Also make sure the windows is set to home, not work or public.. even turn off the firewall.
Open windows explorer and type the TC ip address into the address bar.. (none of which is perhaps the same.. I gave away windows at vista.. shudder)

My Fantom backup drive is failing. I want to copy the time machine contents to a new backup drive and continue on as if nothing has happened. Can I do this and if so how? I have intel iMac running Mountain Lion. Fantom Drive via Firewire 800.

My Fantom backup drive is failing and I have to send it in for warranty repair. Before I do that I want to copy the time machine contents to a new drive and then use it for the backup, continuing on as if nothing had gone wrong with the first drive. Can I do this? Is it as simple as duplicating the first drive and replacing it with the second? New drive arrives Tuesday PM and both drives have dual firewire 800 ports.

I have used the Disk Utility to verify the contents of the backup drive so I don't think I have any corrupt files. The drive just takes a minute or so to spin up to speed. If I turn it off and then back on, it beeps at me for a few seconds and then starts it's slow process of trying to spin. I think it's a power problem not a data problem. I have my fingers crossed that it holds on until Tuesday PM when the new drive arrives. I'm thinking that my two options are to duplicate the bad drive or partition the new drive and put the old backups on one partition and start afresh on the second partition. Any input?
And thanks to both of you for the valuable information so far!

I am having trouble setting up my time capsule. the amber light is flashing. i have a Verizon FIOS network that i use for the internet (WiFi) and do not want to configure the Time Capsule to do that function. I just want the Time Capsule to back up.

Simple.. bridge the TC.. in the apple utility in the NAT and DHCP area.
Plug it into the FIOS router.. you can turn off wireless in the TC if you want.. or use it.. it can work faster if you are nearby and can select 5ghz.. but up to you.
