Low levels

I have a Firebox interface, and am using an old Sony condensor mic to record acoustic guitar and vocals. I have the phantom power turned on for the mic, and the 12 db boost turned on within the Firebox. Everything works fine actually, but I have to turn the gain up on the Firebox and within GarageBand to their limits in order to get appropriate recording levels. It doesn't seem to be introducing any terrible noise by having all the levels so high, but I wanted to get opinions and experiences out there to see if this is within "normal" bounds. Incidentally, I tried a dynamic mic, and got similar results. Also, should I use the gate feature (just a little, maybe?) to try to limit what noise is created by the high levels? I have no experience using gate.

No it is not into GB, I use an m-audio delta 44 audio interface
and in the Delta Control panel / Hardware Settings
there is a Variable signal Levels.
The +4 dBu, 0 dB or -10 dBv are in/out level standard.
To work with a +4 dBu you need to have a very high input.
And with -10 dBv you don't need an input as strong as for the +4.
So if you have this setting try to put it to -10 dBv.
A walk around would be to have a pre-amp and use the Firebox as a line input.
But the Firebox should be able to drive your mic.
The Firebox got a 45 dB pre-amp + 12 digital dB boost (It's what they claim to have).
How far are you from the mic?
Remember that each time the distace double the volume is cut in half.
I use my atm-35 mic with that kind of pre-amp amplification with the +4 dBu setting and I've got enought sound to use a peak limiter to be sure I don't peak.

  • Unable to create a folder in lower levels of root folder

    It appears to me I cannot create a new folder in the lower levels of root folder. Currently, I have to create a new folder right below root folder and then drag it to lower level folder. Why I can't do it in one go. Thanks!

    Hi Ray. That is normal behavior for Snow Leopard now. The OS wants to reserve the root level for itself. Also, folders you create at the root level may not accurately reflect the correct permissions.
    You want to try to keep all your files/folders in your Home (User) folder. That way all your documents remain portable when you move to another Mac or migrate your data back after an Erase & Install. If your docs are scattered all over the drive there is a chance some stuff will not get transferred during a move. So try to keep everything inside your Home folder.
    If you have to place a new folder at the root level, try creating the folder on your Desktop, then dragging it to the root level.

  • Issue in determining Low level codes

    Hi Gurus,
    We are having an issue running heuristics when running  along with Temporary low level codes. We are in SCM 7.0 environment.
    The SNP Heuristics jobs are failing with this message "Low-level code
    not available for product XXXXXXX at location XXXX
    Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE"
    Also, the message in the job log  for the product in was flagged for deletion and I am not too sure why is this being picked up for processing and then failing?
    I tried using SDP relevance as '1' for the product flagged for deletion for testing purposes and then the program is not considering this SKU, but stopping at another SKU and also that SKU is flagged for deletion. But the flip side of using SDP relevance is that that setting is at global level andmay have issues where the SKU is active.
    I have couple questions:
    1) Is there a way for the program to skip the code which has an error and move forward instead of failing the job? and provide a spool with error codes.Also, to provide the LLC number for all the correct SKU's instead of failing at that point and not generating the LLC's?
    2) Why is the program also considering the codes which are flagged for deletion which should not be the case?
    Also, I tried another way of maintaining the codes in thevariant which are not flagged for deletion and tried running heuristics in the background but failed at a point and it gave a message stating Low-level code not available for product XXXXXXX at location XXXX,     Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE
    But the product which was displayed in the job log is an active SKU. I am not too sure why the job failed with this error?
    I tried running that individual SKU in the background including the temporary determination of LLC, it was successful. I am not too sure why it failed when it was a part of selection?
    Any suggestions, would really help us a lot.
    Thanks and regards,
    Murali

    Hi Datta - Thanks for the replies. I was able to have a workaround by using selection profiles excluding the Procurement type 'P' and it worked.
    At our client, whenever a product is made 'non-X0'  in ECC, procurement type is set to 'P' and by excluding that piece in the variant I was able to continue with my processing.
    But still, don't you think the products which are flagged for deletion shouldn't be picked up heuristics?
    Thanks and regards,
    Murali

  • Collective Planned orders Scheduling for lower level orders with reference to the Superior order

    Hi All,
    Collective planned order scheduling.
    I have been trying to reschedule the superior planned order and i was expecting the lower level planned orders to reschedule based on the superior planned order.
    My problem is
    when i try to reschedule the superior planned order the system is not rescheduling the lower level planned orders.
    For example if i change the basic finish date of superior planned order as 30/09/2014 and reschedule the planned order it is only scheduling the header planned order and the lower level planned order is not scheduling.
    Could some one tell me why this is not happenning at planned order level.
    As the rescheduling of collective order will work at production order level but for some reason it is not happening at planned order level(as there is no option available to do so).
    Please give your thoughts on this asap.
    Mahee.

    Hello Mahee
    Please observe that your system is working as designed. Planned orders are scheduled independently, even when they are part of a network/collective order. Note 152319 explains the planned order scheduling in detail and it provides the following information:
    * No scheduling of overall networks is executed although a directly manufactured component is assigned.
    Note that no scheduling of the overall network is executed for planned orders. For the components requirements dates are determined. In order to cover them, planned orders are created in the next MRP run. Since the requirements are not managed using the exact time, the results of the planned order scheduling and of a scheduling of the overall network of the converted collective order can differ.

  • Difference between Low level and Normal IMAQ ?

    There are two options in IMAQ palette a low level and a normal one. Both have the same function names and the same icons the only difference being the balck and white icon of low level functions and colored icons of the normal functions. What is the difference between these two and what is the need of making a low level palette of functions ?

  • How to disable Wifi and Network access in low level setting for security ?

    Hi
    New to here
    One of our final customer bought imac last months. OS 10.9, SN is c02*******J4i
    Since they are security printing, all the necessary ports accessing to outisdes need to be disabled in low level setting(not the ons just like turn on and off ).
    The ports including USB storage, Network and WIFI.
    I googled and found the following
    Open the /System/Library/Extensions folder.
    To remove support for USB mass storage devices, drag the following file to the Trash: IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext
    Open Terminal and enter the following command: $ sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions The touch command changes the modified date of the /System/Library/Extensions folder. When the folder has a new modified date, the Extension cache files (located in /System/Library/) are deleted and rebuilt by Mac OS X.
    Choose Finder > Secure Empty Trash to delete the file.
    Restart the system.
    I want to confirm this before sending to final user. Since I didn't have mac on hand, just wonder whether there are similar kext files for network and wifi to remove.
    Just like step 2 described.
    I would like customer to backup these files before permanently removed.
    Many thanks

    You could delete WAP accesspoint. Not all providers (carriers) allow this.

  • How to low level format an external hard drive on Yosemite

    I need to perform a low level format on an external hard drive as the WD external hard drive does't provide instructions for doing it on my Mac with Yosemite.

    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 - A low level exception has occurred in ImporterMPEG

    Hi Adobe Community,
    I'm having a bit of an issue with the ImporterMPEG.prm plugin for Premiere Pro CS6 that's causing playback and exporting issues.
    Computer Specs: Win7 PC, NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 graphics card
    Description: After playing back video for a while, Premiere will eventually start repeatedly reporting "A low level exception has occurred in ImporterMPEG". The preview player will be completely frozen, and I'll be unable to export. The exporting will fail with a generic "Unexpected error" message.
    This issue has only started a week ago. Until now, I've been able to use Premiere Pro CS6 with no issues. If possible, I'd like to avoid upgrading to CC 2014, because the CS6 version was working fine before.
    So far, I've tried a few things:
    • Deactivating and reactivating (which, by the way, apparently doesn't help subscription users like me, per my recent chat with Adobe support on this issue)
    • Uninstall and reinstall (I didn't know about the CC Cleaner tool at the time, so I haven't tried a clean uninstall yet)
    • Change the Preview File Format in Sequence Settings (from I-Frame Only MPEG which had worked since I installed the software over a year ago to Microsoft AVI)
    • Crying silently to myself (this did not help, the computer is cold and cruel)
    • Clearing out the media cache (which I'd never done before and let it get up to ~75GB without me noticing)
    • Moving the plugin from its location in Program Files, hoping that maybe Premiere Pro would notice it was missing and to try to find a new fresh one (it didn't work)
    So far, only the Preview File Format change seemed to bring relief, but the bad behavior came back after about a week.
    I'm thinking maybe the ImporterMPEG.prm plugin got corrupted somehow? The one notable thing I can remember with the computer in the last few weeks was a power event that shut down my computer unexpectedly. I think I had Premiere Pro open at the time.
    If it's relevant, I mostly work with .AVI, .MP4, and .TS files in my projects, all varying resolutions and FPS. I'm usually working with about 1GB of files in a project, very rarely more than 2GB.
    Has anyone else had this issue? Or, even better, has anyone else resolved this issue?
    Thanks!

    But really, the real solution for me was to not update Premiere Pro CS6 after a reinstall. The most recent updates just do not like my computer, I guess.
    Figured I should post this solution here in case anyone in the future has this problem. (relevant: xkcd: Wisdom of the Ancients)

  • Want to restrict the Purchase order release at lower level...

    Dear Friends,
    The Problem i am facing is that the release strategy defined in Purchase order is such that it will be released by four authorities,
    & When 4th One, The Highest authority releases the order it should not get unreleased by lower level authorities.I want to configure this.
    Partially it is completed, as if Tcode me29n is used for cancel release then it is restricted by Going into
    SPRO-MM-Purchasing-Purchase Order-Release Procedure for Purchase Order- Define Release Procedure for Purchase Order
    & suggesting it there.into Release Indicator
    But still it can get unreleased by Tcode me28.
    Kindly Suggest,
    Gaurav Chopra

    Hi,
    This is the standard like release srtetegy will not have the restriction only the release do the release . He can also should de release the document.
    this can't control.

  • Need help in copying Invoice date to lower level item in Sales order report

    Hello Experts,
    I am debugging into one Sales order report.I need little bit help.The report is displaying Invoice Date for
    Sales order Billing documents for Higher item in Bill of Material Structures.But as per user requirement,
    I am supposed to show the Invoice date for lower level items also.The field for Higher level item is 'UEPOS'.
    I want to copy the Invoice date for Higher level item to lower level item. Can you please guide me in the logic?
    Thanking you in anticipation.
    Best Regards,
    Harish

    Hi BreakPoint,
    Thanks for the information.
    I have applied the same way but it is showing only lower line items now.
    Invoice dates for Higher level items are not there.
    I am pasting the code here which I have applied.
    Then you can give me more guidence.
    This is to be done only for 'ZREP' sales orders.
    if w_vbak-auart EQ 'ZREP' and w_vbak-uepos is not INITIAL.
                          read table t_final into w_final_ZREP with key vbeln = w_vbak-vbeln

  • How to do you control lower levels from the Stage?

    How to you control lower levels from the Stage?
    I have a button on the main stage and I have a symbol that has another symbol inside that I want to control that timeline or label.
    I have had success with going one level deep but not two or three deep.
    sym.getSymbol("symbol01").stop("label01");
    Any help would be great!
    Thanks.

    Can you explain the hierachy of your symbols? By this I mean, name of your symbol and any symbol inside and any symbol inside nested symbol and what event you are triggering from where?

  • Error Msg -A Low-level exception occurred in: Adobe Player

    I have CS6 installed, all the latest patches, etc. It's been working fine for months.In the last week Pr is unable to playback all of my footage (Native 5D mark III h.246 and Canon xf305 footage). Whether it is on the timeline or in the source panel.
    The Error message i get it this:  A Low-level exception occurred in: Adobe Player (player).
    Using Adobe CS 6.0.3
    Windows 64 Bit 8 GBs RAM
    Happens in new projects and old.
    New timelines also affected, it appears.
    Was not happening as recently as two days ago.
    No changes made to the computer.
    Only changes is that I have combined timeines (Imported) from one project to another.
    Video shows yellow or Green.
    I have rerendered the footage to show all green on timeline.
    Only way around it is to reboot the computer, it comes back after a while. The problematic timelines work fine for a while, then this starts happening.
    I deleted the media cache database folder after exiting Pr.
    Didn't seem to change anything. I just got the error again. Things seem to be curiously messed up. I tried to render a sequence out to MXF. The headless crashed each time, (not totally unusual, but it couldn't complete even once). I also got an error message when I bypassed the Media Encoder and just went strait to rendering it out within Pro. It managed to continue to render it to MXF but when I got done and imported it into Pro, it didn't play the clip when I clicked on it.
    The interesting thing to me is that to totally clear Adobe from RAM, I have to go into Task Manager and kill the process after exiting the program (in lieu of rebooting). So it's not closing properly, it appears. Once I kill the process and reopen the app, I can then play the sequence, for a while. It's very curious. Task manager also shows lots of RAM open, no memory leaks at work, nothing unusual. It appears, to be just choking on footage, sort of like it can't quite process the audio (like when you bring in new footage and it has to process that audio). What's happening is like it sees the audio at first when I bring it in at startup of the app, then loses it. If I exit without killing the Premiere process (or shutting down the machine), then it still exhibets the behavior on startup again.
    So this project is large, for me. It is showing as 34 MBs. I have a wide variety of clips at play here, but only MXF Canon from the xf305 and MOV from the Canon 5D. The MXF are the default sequence(s) unless I shot nothing but MOV.
    I have tried rendering the visualization, all green lines on top but that doesn't seem to fully help. It does play the footage for a while.
    There are no special effects added, yet.
    Is it worth re-installing Premiere? This has cost me the better part of a day screwing around with this.
    Let me detail this again:
    Premiere is installed on C There hundreds of GBs of storage avaialble there.
    All project files are on F which is a RAID 1 array. It appears to be functioning normally. 800 GBs free space on 2TBs.
    All Renders are taking out to an external drive like I always do. Lot s of space available there too.
    Anyone have an idea how to fix this?

    Is this any better? Cut and pasted plain text.

    I have tried rendering the visualization, all green lines on top but that doesn't seem to fully help. It does play the footage for a while.
    There are no special effects added, yet.
    Is it worth re-installing Premiere? This has cost me the better part of a day screwing around with this.
    Let me detail this again:
    Premiere is installed on C There hundreds of GBs of storage avaialble there.
    All project files are on F which is a RAID 1 array. It appears to be functioning normally. 800 GBs free space on 2TBs.
    All Renders are taking out to an external drive like I always do. Lot s of space available there too.
    Anyone have an idea how to fix this?
