Increasing low db's and decreasing high db's

I do a lot of theatre production videos and I use Premier CS4 and Soundbooth to edit the video and audio. In theatre recordings, the audio is always up and down like a yoyo. I'm having to spend a trmendous amount of time editing the audio to get a proper audio track. What I really would like to do is to have a way to select all the audio that is below a certain db range and increase their values and then to be able to select everything above a certain db level and then decrease this level. Right now I have been using Normalize to reduce the high peaks, but this also reduces the low db levels. Equalize introduce to much unwanted pops and hiss. Seems like what I want to do should be fairly simple to do but I can't seem to figure out a work around. Thanks for any help.

There are a few tools you can use to accomplish this work, each with their benefits and drawbacks.
The first would be the "Louder" button, located second from the right in the button group below the waveform. Press it once and it performs a Normalize action, which amplifies or reduces the gain on the entire file so that the loudest peak is just below the clipping level. Additional clicks perform an amplify with a hard limiter so that the everything gets louder, without actually clipping. This tool can work well for files that are generally the same level throughout, but not quite, but doesn't offer any control over the values.
The next tool I'd recommend which offers a lot more control, but has a lot more parameters, would be the Effects > Advanced > Dynamics (Advanced) effect. For what you describe, a preset like "Multi Expansion" might suffice, but you can always open the effect settings and adjust the values to more accurately match your needs.
Equalize volume should also work, but as you mention, you might need to run the file through the "Clicks & Pops" and Noise reduction tasks afterward.
If you have access to Adobe Audition, the "Dynamics Processing" effect is even more powerful. You can specify which level you would like each dB range boosted or reduced by adjusting a curve.

My iPhone volume seems to increase and decrease by itself, why

Why does my iPhone 5s' volume increase and decrease by itself when connected via bluetooth to headphones, speakers, etc?

Do you have your Facebook app open when this is happening? Or any other app that gets live Notifications? If so, close them when listening to music. The Notifications being pushed to your device will lower the volume momentarily as they arrive.
Cheers,
GB

Issue on space . Disk space increases and decreases automatically

Hi All,
In our QA environment for past 2 days we are facing issue on space . some unusual behaviour. Taken threaddumps at that time and found the issue

If you are seeing daily increases and decrease in your disk utilization (for example it increases during the day/overnaight but in the morning the disk space has recovered what you are seeing is the impact of Tar optimization.
The Tar Persistence manager is the underlying storage mechanism for CRX. Data is stored in append only tar files. This means the when you update a node or property the new values are written to the Tar files, the indexes are updated to point to the new location, but the old data is also still left in the file. This mechanism allows for a much faster write mechanism. So the more you frequently you update existing content in your repository the larger you Tar files becomes.
There is a process called Tar File Optimization that by default is scheduled to run from 2 AM to 5 AM server time. This process identifies all the orphaned data in the Tar files and deletes, there by reducing the size of the tar files on disk.
So if you are in heavy content migration mode, or moving large amounts of content between instances you can see large swings in your disk space utilization as the Tar file balloons up during the day and then shrinks back down over night. In some cases depending on how large your repository is the 3 hours allotted by default is not sufficent to complete the optimizaiton so you may not be recovering all your disk space. During normal production operations this will normally average out over time and the 3 hour window is enough. However during periods of heavy usage, especially during QA or content migration you may find that your tar files are ever increasing in size. If that happens you need pick a period of time over say a weekend and trigger the Tar File optimization to run until complete to recover as much of your disk space as possible.
See http://helpx.adobe.com/crx/kb/TarPMOptimization.html for details on Tar File Optimization.
As someone else pointed out you may also have an issue with your data store which requires a different clean up method.
Another possible culprit is your Lucene index files. Depending on your data model and repository size you can swings in your Lucene indexes because like the Tar File it periodically cleans itself up and large amounts of content change can cause this cycle to become more pronounced.
This blog post dicusses in more deapth both Tar File Optimization and Data Store garbage collection. http://blog.aemarchitect.com/2013/06/17/importance-of-aem-maintenance-procedures-for-non-p roduction-boxes/

Downloads Low resolution images and not the high resolution as it did in 08

'm using iPhoto '09 , unfortunately iPhoto only downloads the low res images and not the high resolution images. This makes it pretty much worthless, since the low resolution images are really bad in iPhoto. There was not any problems with Iphoto in the past Thank You

What do you mean by "downloading"? There are a couple of ways to get image file out of iPhoto:
1 - select the thumbnails and drag them to the desktop. This will give you copies of the latest version of each photo.
2 - select the thumbnails, use the File->Export->File Export menu option. Depending on how you configure the export you will get the original, the latest version and/or a reduced size copy that you determine.
3 - select thumbnails and use the Share->Send to DVD. This produces a mini library of the photos you've selected which include the original files, thumbnail files and any modified/edited file. This method is intended for use on computers that are running iPhoto.
Which method are you using?

How do i change ringtone volume to ring with low volume first and then gradually increase to the max volume ?

how do i change ringtone volume to ring with low volume first and then gradually increase to the max volume ? this feature was available before but is still available now ? this is for IOS8 running on Iphone 5c.

I've never been aware of a function like this in the past. You could create a personal ringtone that would last 30 seconds or less and set the volume on that ringtone to do that with an audio editor, such as Audacity.

Volume bar increases and decreases normally, but no sound!

I'm having a problem where I can press the button to increase and decrease the volume and the bar goes up and down accordingly. However, there is no sound whatsoever coming out of the laptop, what might the problem be?

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Make sure Mute is not enabled.
2. Remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications/Utilities/ Audio MIDI Setup.app
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so uncheck it.
Best.

U: drive keeps increasing, and decreasing?

So basically my U: drive keeps increasing and decreasing.. I check it every day, and it says 16.2X (where x is a random number). Usually it is in the 16.2x range... For example: 16.27, 16.29, 16.23 ..etc... And I check my U: drive everyday.. I understand, that is not a problem, and its normal.
But, today I checked my U:drive, and I was SHOCKED, because now it says 16.5x.. Right now its at 16.52, and I have NOT INSTALLED ANY PROGRAMS.
Where in the world did 300mb of memory come from? Is it because I have been watching a lot of youtube videos?? I dont see how that would take up so much space..
How do I get back to normal which is 16.2x...?

Having the same problem every few seconds it adds a minute to the estimated time. This is really annoying. I'll call apple to figure something out because I need to backup to to icloud since I have a battery issue with my phone!

[OBIEE10.3.3] Box and Whisker / High, Low, Open Close

Thats very tough to do in OBIEE.

I am using i phone 4s 64 gb.recently got a re furbished phone.when i check it,i can see a minute difference,volume increase and decrease bottons are alligned upside down.what i can do now?

hi there,i am raj from new zealand.i am using my i phone 4s for the past two and half years.i found a difficulty with my phone and then i called apple care and send my old phone and got a refurbished piece in the starting of this year.
and recently i noticed that the volume increase and decrease bottons are mis placed(placed upside down).
as per my concern,apple is a great organisation and this mistake is going to be a big problem to their name and business.so please some one help me out to talk to a right person to deal about it.
thanks

If there is Warranty or AppleCare, take to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, do not worry about it, the button is the same either way. Your iPhone will function perfectly.

How does iPhoto play a part in this? You're in the iPhoto forum. Shouldn't you be asking your question in the iPhone forum? I'll ask the powers to be to move you question to the iPhone forum.

Increase and decrease speed

Could anyone tell me how to increase a clips speed and then slow it down again in the same clip without an edit. Is that something that needs to be done in After Effects or can you do it in PPro with keyframing?
Is there a tutorial around that shows how this is done?
Thanks for your help.

How can I replace one low quality source with another high quality one ?

Am I really this dumb or is it really this hard ?
I have one timeline / project / edit that essentially references one long source clip / event / file.
I have a newer higher quality transcoded version of the same source and want to replace the original lower quality version and end up with the same edited result just with better quality images !?
It's the same frame rate and image dimensions but "relink" tells me the new file is not "similar" enough and won't do it !
Why is this so hard ? Is there a way to export a good old fashioned edl and then just reconform using the new source ?
What if I wanted to to replace low res offline footage with finished colour-corrected material and output a finished master - would that be this clueless as well ?
Please let me know the problem is between the chair and the keyboard - not between the hard disk and the power cord !

Guessing that when you created the higher quality media, it was done outside of FCP and probably changed some important metadata that the app is looking for. Or perhaps there is a difference between the original audio and the new audio.
Anyway, Luis' advice about the replace edit seems like the easiest solution.

The usual way to do offline online is within FCP – creating the proxies and then using Preferences to switch back to and from.
If you sent it out for grading, the Relink should work fine. If you haven't seen this kb doc, it's worth reviewing.

How to create a function to finish the step add and decrease

Hi,sirs,
Can you give a simple example that uses a function to finish the step add and decrease? In fact, I am doing the following job:
I hope to use "while" frame to implement "step add":
when the "i" in the "while" frame increases, a value should be increased accordingly and then be output. However, after the value reached a Max value, it should be decreased while the "i" continues increasing.
Can you give me a simple program for that? I am using Labview 6.0.
Thanks a lot.

Here's a slightly different version. In this one, you can specify the minimum and maximum count values, the starting count, start count direction, and even have different values for incrementing and decrementing. There is also a Pause and a reset control.
It reverses count direction when either the min or max count is reached.
It's saved in LabVIEW 6.0.2. This one is designed to be used as subVI.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

Cumulation of lower level item prices to higher level items

Hi,
We have a specific requirement that we use high-level materials that is not relevant for pricing and lower level items connected to higher-level item that are RA and billing relevant. How do we modify the pricing procedure to cumulate (roll-up) the lower level items to higher level item which is not price relevant but statistical value should be updated at this level for billing purpose.
We want to achieve this using/modifying only pricing procedure and not via user exit..
Request SAP experts to provide some inputs to this issue..
BR/Rajasekhar

Hi rajsekhar
But generally if you want to transfer the cost of the sub item to main item then you can check the box Cumulative cost in copy control VTFL . But your requirement is quite opposite .So you need to go to assign a New Reqt / Alt calc type to the cond type , telling that the header item cost which is not relevant for pricing has to be transferred to sub item .So you need to integrate with the ABAP'er to give inputs to him and giving our requirement also
