Is This Statement About Mics And Pres Correct?
The preamps in my audio interface increase in hiss as I raise the level. I am using a Shure SM58, which seems to need a good boost. If I had a mic that needed less boost, say a condenser, I could keep the knob on my pre lower, and decrease the noise in my track. Correct? I know it sounds silly, but I'm just figuring this stuff out. Thanks!
Yeah - the problem now is that if 20 people chip in with their opinions, you'll get 20 answers.
I don't really like to give recommendations... I like what I like, but you might not. I can tell you that the interface I use is a Fireface 800, and I absolutely love it, but I don't particularly like the pre's on it. I also have an Onyx 400F, which has great pre's, but I don't like the converters.
I've never used the Firebox, but I believe it's fairly well respected as an interface.
I use the FF800 as my main interface, and a variety of outboard pres, my favourite of which is probably the Chandler Germanium.
Do you have a dealer nearby where you could go and try various equipment? Mics are quite a personal thing, but something like a Rode NT2-A or an AT4040 would probably be a significant step up from the SM58 for not too much expense.
Hopefully others will chime in with suggestions. Good luck!

2 question about GPU and Lens correction ,cs5
Hi
i have 2 questions about Gpu and lens correction in Cs5
1)Filter->lens correction->search online
i get often and almost every connection time out at the first click on search online , at the second click i get no online profile
is it normal?
2) question is about Gpu
it run faster , but talking about ajustament layer
like saturation or vibrance for example
i found with the gpu on , a light slow refresh compared with gpu off
i have set cache levels 6 ,history 20
i guess are the defaul
well i add a saturation layer and move the saturation slide ,increase o decrease saturation
with Gpu Off , the changes are immedially , i mean i can see in real time the increase o decrease of saturation
with Gpu On it takes a few(very few) time more
again is normal ?
don't be angry , i'm going to buy cs5 and i'm unsecure ... the price make a big role
thanksFor what it's worth, I also see a timeout on the first [ Search Online ] click, after about half a minute delay. Second click turns up results immediately. This happens each time Lens Correction is started, even without restarting Photoshop, and in both 32 and 64 bit versions. Also note that I started with one profile listed by default (though from the wrong camera) for my 40D with 28-135 zoom.
I alsow noticed that I was seeing progress bar activity in the Lens Correction dialog while I was typing this (even though Lens Correction was NOT the active window) every time I hit the 'L' key. Strange.

So my airport extreme recently had some nat/dns issue and in the airport utility displayed a warning about it and to correct it. I wasn't sure what to do so i pressed the resolve icon and now my guest network is not working.
Anytime you change networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking components.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results. -

Guess what... This is about Videora and converting Video's
I'm trying to just get any video other than a little movie I paid for from I-tunes to play. I used to DVD Decrypter to make the file. Followed the instructions from Videora's to a T. Then used Videora with these setting
H264/320x240/256kbs Stereo/96kbs
It played in I-tunes but when I tried to add it to my I-pod I got an alert saying, some of the video's in your library, including the video "Elf", were not copied to the ipod "Wiz's Pod" because they cannot be played on this ipod.
Please help with his. I would really like to know this can actually happen. When I get it happening, I'm gonna post a step by step list of exactly what I did.
Thank you for any help.

If all of the settings recommended here are good, try renaming the file. I found this is aften the solution. For some reason certain characters or whatever will prevent transfer to the pod. use a simple basic name with no characters or numbers, then update the pod and see what happens. -
What about mics and headphones?
The Mini does not have a microphone input so what's the best way to talk, iChat, Skype, etc.? I know the Griffin iMic will work, but what's the story behind USB headset mics? Are they better and do they let you talk through a Mini?
USB headsets are a sound card chip and headset combination that plugs into the mini via the USB port.
They operate like USB external sound cards and support for them is usually available through Core Audio although your mileage may vary.
I have Logitech USB 200's which I hear are now recently discontinued and they work 100% just plugging them into the mini and not loading any additional software. -
I upgraded my storage AFTER I received an email that my iCloud email will be shut off until I was no longer over capacity. I can now send emails, but when anyone sends me an email it rejects and they receive a message that I am "over quota."
If you have an iCloud account it must have been created on a Mac or iOS device. Provide the serial number of that device in order to reach Apple support.

This is about recursion and the print out
Please give me a "HINT" on how to;
1- Control the way I print the file out, like instead of printing "A, B, C, D, E, F", printthe alphabets in two lines of three alphabets, like;
"A, B, C"
"D, E, F"
2- A hint on writing a recursion method so I can print out from more than one inFile.
This is what I have so far.import Alphabets;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
import java.io.*;
public class PrintAlphabets
public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException
int n= 100;
Alphabets[] letters= new Alphabets[n]; //array of numbers
StringTokenizer tokenizer;
String line, name;
String units; //number of Alphabets available in the file.
int count = 0;
String fileout = "c:\\Alpha.txt";
File file = new File(args[0]);
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter (fileout);
BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter (fw);
PrintWriter outFile = new PrintWriter (bw);
try
FileReader fr = new FileReader (file);
BufferedReader inFile = new BufferedReader (fr);
line = inFile.readLine();
while (line != null)
tokenizer = new StringTokenizer (line);
while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens())
try
units = tokenizer.nextToken();
if ( units.equals("#include") )
tokenizer.nextToken();
else
letters[count++] = new Alphabets (units);
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println ("Error in input. Line ignored:");
System.out.println (line);
line = inFile.readLine();
inFile.close();
for (int scan = 0; scan < count; scan++)
outFile.print (letters[scan] + " " );
catch (FileNotFoundException exception)
System.out.println ("The file " + file + " was not found.");
catch (IOException exception)
System.out.println (exception);
System.exit(0);
outFile.close();I thought I send you te whole code again because I still get the "null" thing.

launch so I am trying to reinstall. I followed the directions from this site about uninstalling and deleting files and making a backup. When I try to
install I get this message: C:\Documents and Settings\Kelley\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\AFYW6D11\iTunesSetup[1].exe is not a valid Win32 application. I click ok. Nothing happens. Any ideas?Hi - thanks for your help and sorry not to have replied before - I've been away.
I use mainly Chrome but also tried IE8 just in case - no difference. However I finally remembered that when I had a similar problem downloading/installing OS4 for my iPhone (which crashed it and caused total lockup for about 4 days, resolved only after hours of calls to iPhone helpdesk) it turned out that the problem was caused by my home wi-fi connection. When I hard-wired the network connection the problem was solved. I tried it with iTunes - and it installed first time.
Don't know what would cause this problem, which as far as I can see affects only Apple software. Everything else seems to download and install over the wi-fi without glitches.
Best,

Hi, I'm Puthyrath. I have a problem on my iPad 4 wifi-3G about personal hotspot. I entered apn, username and password correctly, but when I leave this page, it didn't save, all fields become blank. Can anyone help me?
Update to above question:
Hello All,
To anyone with the same problem described above, on THEIR iPad (if it is running iOS 7.0.2):
Go to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; DELETE your *******@btinternet.com e-mail account, that you originally set up either using 'Other', or the 'BT' option which I am sure was in the list previous to the iOS 7 update.
Then ADD a NEW account choosing YAHOO from the list of options. DO NOT USE 'OTHER'.
Enter the correct details just as you (almost certainly) had already done in your previous attempts using 'other'.
When you see the 'verifying......' and 'the blue ticks' you should be able to exit settings and open your mail app and then receive all your 'old' e-mails again, AND be able to SEND as well.
All my 'old' e-mails, were NOT found in the 'old e-mail' folder though. THEY are still in my inbox.
So this fix worked for me.
After I deleted my account from 'OTHER' and put it in Yahoo, I like other people also ended up with more folders.
I hope this works for you on YOUR Apple devices.

There are a couple of things that you can do yourself before taking your machine into an Apple Store or an AASP... download and run an application named Rember that will run a RAM test for you - let it run for a couple of hours or even overnight. If it turns out that your RAM is faulty, Rember will let you know. If it is faulty, then you have a couple of options - replace the RAM yourself or (particularly if you're under warranty still) take the machine to an Apple Store or AASP and have them replace the RAM.
If Rember finds no fault with the RAM, then you'll need to take it into an Apple Store/AASP and get a free diagnosis on the machine. Three beeps do usually indicate faulty RAM, but if it tests good with Rember you likely have another problem - it could be something as simple as the RAM, somehow, not seated correctly or signs of another hardware problem.
Run Rember first... call back with results.
Good luck,

I want to ask about changing perspective and perspective correction in photoshop. Obviously, we can tilt and straighten buildings and other monuments, which are leaning in any direction. Now, what I want to know is whether we can change perspective for human faces. For example, if there is a human face, where one part of the face is facing the camera and the other part of the face is only partially facing the camera, can we make this face look totally at the camera? I mean, look straight in front, and I am talking about the whole face here. I am attaching an image as an example of what I am talking about. @
If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
