Level meter stops randomly during input
using 64bit Logic 9- latest version. While using a channel with audio input with "I" selected in channel strip, the level meter will randomly go flat but sound is still passing. usually toggling the "R" box will get it working again, but repeatedly it will drop out- anyone experience this?? if so, any conclusions?
thanks!
I suspect a problem with your audio interface. The next time it happens, you could test that theory by trying this. Open Preferences > Audio and uncheck "Enabled" (under "Core Audio"). Press the button Apply Changes. Then check Enabled, and Apply Changes again. Does that fix it? Maybe your audio drivers need an update, or there is some other issue related to your audio interface.

Nokia N97 Mini recorder stops randomly
why does the recorder stops randomly during a recording? My previous NOkia 5800 Xpressmusic also had this problem. I never reach the maximum recording time of one hour. My mobile phone is lying next to me and not receiving any calls or messages, with 'silent' profile active.
Hi, I'm having some similar problems with mine also, i was having a look on line just now and came across the link below, infor on how to hard reset your nolia n97, I haven't tried it as of yet as mine works on and off, on at the moment, but if yours is completely kaput, it could be worth a try. Hope it works for you, good luck

Input level meter in Audition CS5.5
I can't find an input level meter in audition CS5.5. I have to go my windows 7 control panel find me device and set the levels. So, to set levels I have to have two windows open, one control panel audio adjustment window and one soundbooth window where I actually record and watch meter, then I erase and record for real.
I must be overlooking something -- every other audio program I have ever used lets you set input levels while watching the meter. I've been through the help, and Googled it and I can't figure it out. In Audition, how do I set input levels from within Audition CS5.5 (not in windows 7 control panel)?
Thanks!Short answer, no!
Audition merely records EXACTLY what the input device is sending to it. In normal useage the "level" of the signal to be recorded would be set externally, e.g. by use of an audio mixer or a "gain" control on the input device. I assume you are recording by using a line or mic plugged straight to your computer? In which case, the Windows Audio Control Panel is the only way to set levels.

Level Meter Plug In -VS- Output 1/2 meter...Inconsistencies...
I'm mixing an 18 minute long recording for vinyl release. The vinyl pressing company has a minimum dbl on recordings they master and press. If the level is under, they charge hundreds of dollars more to re master and increase the volume via massive compression.
So to check and double check the overall volume in Logic Express 8, all I can find for a meter is the "Level Meter" in the visualization plug in toolbox. So I have the Level Meter "plugged" into the Output 1/2 track...The problem with the Level Meter is that it is showing levels around 8 dbl lower than the Output 1/2 meter. This could potentially be an expensive discrepancy not to mention may have a negative effect on the end product's sound quality.Eriksimon wrote:
If you used a meter as an insert, it comes, like other effects plugins, before the fader. Sorry, I didn't read attentively the first time.
Still, the effect is the same as pre-fader metering. The signal passes the meter before it goes to the fader. If you turn pre-fader metering on you'll see that your faders don't affect the channel strip level meters anymore and behave like inserted level meters as well.
So if you lower the fader on channel 1&2 so you no longer see clipping, how does it work?
1. Does it lower the output simply telling you that you are not clipping going out from fader 1&2?
or
2. Does it lower the input from all contributing channels so that the source coming to fader 1&2 no longer clips? -

BlackBerry curve 9220 reboots randomly during normal usage
BlackBerry 9220 reboots randomly during normal usage- Please suggest some good solution. I have already done below things:-
1) Software Update
2) Insert new battery
3) Placed thin paper
4) Safe mode
5) Security wipe.
If you guys have other then above option, please suggest me.
Blackberry future is blackHello,
Given all you have already tried, I recommend the "Bare Bones OS Reload Procedure" to attempt to narrow down the precise causal item:
Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
Good luck and let us know!

My apple tv stopped working during a movie. I tried to reload software .it deleted it, but won 't reload it.
Welcome to the Apple Community Turbomedic.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
1. Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
2. Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
3. Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
4. Open iTunes.
5. Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device) -
Apple TV 2 all of a sudden has trouble streaming. I stream from my desktop computer's iTunes for movies, and tonight it started stopping randomly mid movie and saying it wasn't connected. Any ideas? Router? ATV dying?
It just says not connected, and as soon as it bails to menu, it connects again and will play for another minute before doing the same thing all over again.Hello David,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your Apple TV is having trouble streaming videos from iTunes on your computer. This symptom could have a variety of causes, and I'd suggest the following initial troubleshooting steps.
In addition to restarting your devices (Apple TV, computer, router), try the tips in this article, starting with "Check your home network:"

Access Connections main service stops randomly
Hi all,
I have a T60 at work with the latest version of Access Connections. Over the last few weeks, my Access Connections will randomly show that it disconnects in my system tray. However, I am still connected to my company's network. Our tech group came out and said that they are seeing instances of the Access Connection Main service just stopping randomly. When I go into Services, I can verify that it has stopped. This happens anywhere from 20-60 mins after logging onto our network. It also only happens when I am docked to my docking station, not when I am wireless. If I have a tech remote into my machine and restart the service, it starts up just fine again.
Any thoughts as to what might be causing the service to stop like this? It doesn't present a problem if I stay docked...but if I undock and try to go wireless, it doesn't do the auto switching because it's frozen...so I always have to reboot.Hi,
in this situation make following:
- go to services and open Properties of both AC Services and in the Recovery tab set all 3 options to "Restart the Service"
- In case this should not change the situation, then go to "Log On" tab and select "This account" and insert your name and password.
In this situation would be also good to check the Event log if there is any notice, why the Service stopped working.
Any info is appreciated.

It would be great if I could manage to have a Sound Level Meter vi. I do not have SVT.
Right now a .vi sharing would be best, but in my mind it is to start to make my own, this kind of tasks make you learn. The problem is time.
Any sharings? Suggestions? I found this in an old post, but, I get this error:
"Poly VI 'AI Acquire Waveform.vi': subVI is missing.
Attachments:
SPL.llb 88 KBAI Acquire Waveform is part of the old traditional DAQ API. You can either replace the traditional DAQ VIs with DAQmx VIs or install traditional DAQ (provided you are on a supported, 32-bit OS). I would recommend the former. The sound level algorithms should still be good. Let us know if you run into issues.

Z30 stopped working during 10.2.1 update
My Z30 stopped working during the 10.2.1 update (Fido). The screen is completely dark, the only sign of life is the blinking red light. The pattern is 1 long blink followed by a pause and then 6 quick blinks. I have purchased tech support for 50$ without any resolution. Now on day 4 of issue.
Does anyone have any idea how to get my phone back to life????
Here is what I have tried already:
I tried reloading the OS via bb link. Keep getting a error: "error communicating with device"
I tried reinstalling my bb link and reloading the OS
I tried reloading the OS via online os update
The same things were tried by tech support and no luck there either.
I did all these things with and without sim/micro SDTry a new USB cable. If doesn't work turn phone off plug into computer with link open and then turn on when plugged in then hit reinstall. Phone sounds like it is bricked. See if this helps.

Diagram or vi for Sound Pressure Level Meter (SPL)
Need help for implementing a Sound Pressure Level Meter (SPL) with LabVIEW 7.1 or 6.3....I must use a microfone and a laptop for my project.....Need diagram or ready vi ....!!!
How can I make an A,B,C Weighting Filter vi for my Sound Pressure Level Meter project....???
If there is one already made or you can give me any help please send it to me.......[email protected]
Thanks.....Search the archives. A similar question about the weighting filters was posted within the past month or two, if I recall correctly. I am not aware of any ready-built VIs, but the filter specs are published (Google A-weighting).
Also be careful with the frequency response of inexpensive microphones. They can skew the results substantially if you do not have some way to measure and compenste for the response.

Does anyone know where I can find an audio level meter that is either written in Swing or can be integrated with my Swing app?
I have not found anything in my web searches that really makes sense.I've just started looking for the exact same thing. I'm glad
you posted first, I think you've explained the need better than I
would have been able to. I was thinking I may have to use an
embeded SWF, but the only thing I've found was in AS3.
