Microphone needed for WAV file creation

I need a Microphone for my iMac G5 to record a wav file. The source of the sound I want to record is a Verizon cell phone message. I want to record the message and save it as a WAV file, but I don't currently have a device like a Microphone to record sound on my iMac.
My old G3 Beige Mic doesn't work on the G5. What product do I need?

Depending on the model you might have a built-in microphone on your iMac.
If you decide to use it make sure the room is very quiet. I had to turn off TV and chase my wonderful but very loud children into another room.
Check and see.
On mine if I go to System Preferences-Sound-Input look and see if it says anything about Internal Microphone. If so you are in luck.

Artwork for WAV files?

Does anyone know how to import album artwork into iTunes for a WAV file. Nothing happens after bringing in the artwork. Can it be done?

@Dj_AmTraX: good tip!
I tried to first load my music as apple lossless and added the artwork (via get info, artwork, add) then loaded all the music a second time additionally in the WAV file format. The album artwork then appeared in iTunes for all the WAV files too. So one could say yes, it can be done but apparently on iTunes only with a bit of extra work and the restriction of needing to have the music stored in two different formats.
It is a pity that Apple's iTunes doesn't support linking WAV files to artwork jpgs as standard.
The more mp3-like the product the less likely they seem inclined to offer good functionality for the (hi-fi, bulkier) WAV format. Now storage is so less expensive they should maybe re-think? I find high-resolution audio files so much better on a good hi-fi system ;-)
@any_WAV_enthusiast: Who has found the method above to work for them?
Maybe someone now knows a quicker or easier method to get artwork shown for WAV files in iTunes / on i-devices?

XMP Schema for WAV files

Hi,
I am planning to use XMP metadata for WAV files and I would like to create a Schema for the same. I know that that XMP has schemas for other Formats like TIFF and EXIF. If there is a XMP schema for WAV already(probably the Adobe Audition uses it), I would like to use it; else, I have to create a custom XMP WAV schema.

Greetings,
Since a WAVE file is actually a simple RIFF file format, I think it should fit into my proposal for embedding XMP data in RIFF files (I already posted it somewhere else in this forum). (For WAVE schemas, thats another story)...
p.s: I have not had any comment from Adobe on this proposal, either they don't read this forum or they don't care...
Comments?
I have the same proposal for IFF files (AIFF/ILBM etc) if you wish to have it?
Here follows the specification:
Embedding XMP data into IBM-Microsoft RIFF file formats
=====================================================================
This proposal permits adding XMP compatible metadata to standard
RIFF files. A RIFF file is composed of chunks of data; each of
the chunks precedeed by a header giving the type of data that
follows, as well as the length of the data in the chunk. For
more information on the RIFF file format, consult the specification
"Multimedia Programming Interface and Data Specifications 1.0"
Including XMP data in an RIFF compatible file is a matter
of adding a subchunk to the INFO LIST chunk. The subchunk
ID for this type of date shall be "IXMP".
Guidelines for RIFF writers
If the XMP packet is to be used, the software can optionally
write out all other INFO LIST registered (from the standard),
assuming the following mapping:
IRSC dc:creator
ICRD dc:date
ICMT dc:description
ICOP dc:rights
IKEY dc:subject
INAM dc:title
IGNR dc:type
IARL dex:source
In the case where they are written, for better validation by reader
software, the XMP packet should also contain the xmp:MetadataDate
property.
For better portability, and to easily modify the embedded
XMP data, the following guidelines should be followed by
the RIFF writer:
- The XMP packet should contain the full packet signature;
this permits easier searching for tools that do not
understand the RIFF file format.
- The XMP packet should be encoded in UTF-8.
- As specified in the XMP specification, an XMP packet
should be filled with blank spaces for easier updating of
the XMP packet without rewriting the entire file.
A suggested size of an XMP chunk is 4096 or 8192 bytes.
- Only one "IXMP" chunk should be present in the INFO LIST
chunk. Preferrably, there should only be one INFO LIST
chunk per file.
Guidelines for RIFF readers
If an XMP packet is present in an RIFF file, then one of
the following options can be used to retrieve the
metadata from the file:
If the existing metadata chunks are also present,
then, one of the following solutions can be used:
a) Compare the xmp:MetadataDate property with the
file modification date to determine which chunk to use
: either the IXMP subchink or the other info subchunks.
(If the file modification date is greater than
xmp:MetadataDate, it is probably safe to assume that
the standard metadata chunks might have been updated
by software that does not
understand XMP packets).
b) Simply ignore these chunks and use the XMP
packet for the metadata.
c) Simply ignore the XMP chunk , and use the
other chunks for getting the metadata of the file.

I purchased PDF Converter, it isn't what I needed for my files. Can I get a refund?

After I purchased a PDF Converter, it isn't what I needed for my files. Can I get a refund or a credit on my account?

Apple considers all sales as final. Apple expects folks to do theoir homework before purchasing. You will receive a receipt in your email for the purchase 24 to 48 hours later and you can use the Report a problem link to initiate a conversation with iTunes Support about a refund. Apple sometimes gives a one-time refund. The question for you is do you want to use this one-time refund on this app or save it for a more costly app in the future?

How do I get the block duration for wave file playback?

I'm using a LV example "Getting Started with sound and vibration express vi's (simulated). When I play back the examples the audio does not match the graphing updates as the file is played. That is, the sound continues to play after the graphs have finished reading the file. I can change the input box "block duration (s)" to achieve playback coordination between graph updates and audio. Is it possible to calculate this value from data included in the file? If not then if I have a vi that records sound to a wav file could the "block duration" be calculated there and passed to the playback vi? Just not sure what makes up the block duration. Thanks

Hi Mike,
The Block Duration that is configured from the Front Panel is a control that is used to determine how much of the sound file has the analysis performed. From the Block Diagram the Block Duration control is used to calculate the subset of the Get Waveform Subset.vi. Also notice the sound file is opened prior to entering the case structure, thus will begin first to execute due to dataflow. This may be easier to see using highlight execution. The sound VIs are not affected by the Block Duration at all as the entire sound file will be played. Take the data from your sound file and display it onto a chart or begin processing as in the Read Sound File to Chart.vi example for immediate updates Hopefully this helps!

Any more configureation needed for RFC -File Syncronous scenario?

HI Experts,
I am working on File to RFC syncronous scenario.
I imported RFC which has Mess, Res and Excep
I have ED which has only Mess
Now I need to send file using File Adaptor to ECC using RFC and ECC has to send resp back to File using File Adaptor.
I created:
MI
MI_File_Meg_os (File Message Output Syncronous) ---> Mess ED
> MT_Res -
> DT_Res
MI_RFC_Meg_is (Input RFC Message ) ---> Mess
> Resp
I cretaed MM for (Message and Response), IM (mapped for both mess and respose) and activated.
I created 3 Communicaiton Channel (File_Sender, File_Receiver and RFC_Receiver), Rec Determination, Sender Aggrement and Receiver Aggrement.
Do I need to create any more objects or configure ?
Thanks in Advance,
Rajeev

You need RFC CC and Filereceiver CC too
Sender Agreement
Do I need to make sender CC for RFC or File receiver CC?
both
Interface determination,
for mapping File request to RFC and RFC response to File
Sender or receiver Aggrements
sender agreements with FileSender CC and receiver agreement for File receiver CC
For getting back Ack from ECC?
RFC is synchronous and can return response
goto wiki and check for pi there is exact scenario

Can't add artwork for WAV file?

It's true. I tried. Is that supposed to happen? Why can't I put artwork on a WAV file in iTunes?

i think and am pretty sure that the album art is saved into the tracks data tags. There is a difference between the data tag on a file and the iTunes database infomation. Things like artist, album, genre go into the tracks data tag. Things like ratings and playcount go into the database file (see ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Database). If the artwork were stored in iTunes then it would global and across all formats and would not be retained if music is moved around. I think that album art is preserved if a track is moved and as you've pointed out album art can't be added to some formats such as WAV so i'm guessing that album art is a codec limitation. WAV is pretty old a raw uncompressed format that is much larger than mp3 or aac. You would need to convert the audio to one of these formats to add album art. To do this set your import options to one of these codecs under the importing tab in the advanced pane of the iTunes preferences. Then with the WAVs selected in iTunes go to the Advanced Menu in the main menu bar and click on 'Convert Selection to <Codec you chose>'
Hope that helps

Album artwork feature for .wav files inexplicably removed from iTunes.

Hello, I was wondering if Apple would please allow us to display artwork in iTunes for albums that contain .wav files. Waves just sound better to me. I remember back in 2004 or so this feature was available in iTunes, nearly a decade ago, but now it has been inexplicably removed. I am not interested in compromising the sound quality of the .wav file by converting them to compressed formats, Apple lossless, or even Apple's rival to the .wav file. Thank you.

I don't think .wav format has ever supported artwork. It is possible (I don't have any wav format files) I guess if it is added to iTunes that iTunes can add artwork for it in its own database, but wav does not support tags or artwork embedding.

Searching for wav files?

Hello,
If I placed a number of wav sound files in the same folder as the java files and classes. Would anyone know if it possible to search all the files in this folder and store the wav file names in an array?
Thank you

Yes; look up the method listFiles in the documentation of the class java.io.File.

Help needed for automatic batch creation for by-products(PP-PI)

Hi,
In the Goods Recpt tab in transaction COR1, we have a field for creating a batch manually for the header material. On clicking on create, a pop up is generated whch facilitates creation of batch for the header material.
At this point, if i go to the material list, I would like to see the same batch number ( same as header) written against the BY-Products.
Essentially, when i create a batch for the header material, it should also create a batch with the same number for the by-product and populate the same in the materials tab.
One important thing to note here is that when we click on create batch icon, the data is stored in a structure and the batch is actually created only when the process order is saved.
Please advise if this can be achived by some standard settings in SAP or do we need to change the standard code. If later is the case, please advise about the point where to insert the required code. I have found a user exit at the point where batch numbe is created manually.
Please advise.

As per SAP Batch definition Batch is the quantity or partial quantity of a certain material or product that has been produced according to the same recipe, and represents one homogenous, non- reproducible unit with unique specifications. So logically you cannot have same batch number for two materials.
If you want to find out the relation between batches of header material and by product that is produced during production, you can use Batch Information Cockpit.
To see batch details in Batch Cockpit (T-code: BMBC), You have activate Batch where used function in IMG using path : Batch management-->Batch Where used list --> make setting for batch where used list.

Urgent.... Help Needed for Storing file in Application Server

Hi All,
I have a requirement where in I have to save a file in Application Server.
File is of 141 Character Length, so there can be spaces left at the end.
When I am downloading the file into Application Sever and then downloading the same file from Application Server to Presentation into a notepad then the spaces at the end are truncating.
I want that the file that is generated should be of 141 character though if there may be spaces at the end.
It will be great if you can help me out in this.
Thanks in Advance.
Jayant Sahu.

when downloading to App server, you need to specify the LENGTH option on your TRANSFER ststement to keep fixed length. You must also use a STRING type variable in your transfer.
From Documentation on Transfer command:
<b>If the file was opened as a text file or a legacy text file, the trailing blank characters are deleted for all data objects, except for those of data type string. The line end marker defined when the file was opened is then added to the remaining content of the data object or to the result of the conversion, and the final result is written byte-by-byte to the file.</b>
There also used to be a problem with WS_DOWNLOAD - you had to do the following:
Maintaining Trailing spaces when downloading to PC
Before calling DOWNLOAD or WS_DOWNLOAD, do a perform SET_TRAIL_BLANKS(saplgrap) using 'X'
To set the length of each record including your blanks add this code: perform SET_FIXLEN(saplgrap) using '0' '100'
Don't think this is needed any more.

From SP1 and beyond, you can use
-Dweblogic.RootDirectory=<dirname>
* The property for specifying configuration location:
* The directory name of the domain from which to load the specified
* configuration. The default is ".".
* -Dweblogic.RootDirectory=<dirname>
* The directory must exist.

Hi,
I would like to point weblogic to a directory NOT under c:\bea\... for it's configuration.
I used to do this on WLS 5.1 by setting:
weblogic.home=/weblogic and weblogic.system.home=/projects/wlsconfig
This way my config was NOT coupled to the weblogic install.
I want to do the same thing, and have the config directory located in /projects/domainconfig
for example.
weblogic.system.home etc doesn't seem to do anything. The

Any help would be great.

Monitor for .err file creation in a specific directory

Does anyone know if it's possible to get SCOM to monitor a certain directory and then alert if a .err extension file is created there? If so, are there any instructions you might be able to provide or resources to point me to? I tried
searching but wasn't having too much luck. Any assistance would be appreciated!

Hi,
I would like to suggest you create a monitor based on powershell script which can be used to test existance of .err file in a specific directory. The below command can be used to check .err extension existance under D:\specific directory
Test-Path "D:\specific directory\*.err"
