Need help with sound scubber

Could someone please help me out. I am so close to having
this sound scrubber work.
Here is what is not working:
--The slider thumb does not move when the music is playing
and it should.
--Also when you slide the slider thumb, the musical score
(frame) should change and it doesn't.
This is a bit different from scrubbers for Mp3 or other SWA
files.
You can go to
http://www.bachharpsichord.com/AudioCD.zip
and get the <1Meg file and xtra (they have to be in the same
folder and the extra is in demo mode (which is free for all to
try)).
When you try to run the program you need to put a music CD in
your CD drive. The first track should be around 3 minutes. I have
cuepoints in the program which move to the next frame(page) while
the music is playing.
Thank to all you geniuses!!

Something like this?

Need Help with Sound Recording

Hi,
I'm a Comp. Sys. Eng. student in my final year and I've been trying to record sound with java for a couple of months now and its driving me stupid. I've looked around on just about every java source site I could find and have found many similar examples of sound recording, none seem to work on my machine. The problem is that I keep on getting either IOExceptions, or empty .wav files (as in the code below). The code included below is a shortened and modified version of some code I got from jsresources.org, the full link is http://www.jsresources.org/examples/AudioCommon.java.html.
I have not had any experience with multimedia in java before.
Can somebody please tell me what is wrong with this code? or is my java environment to blame?
Am I declaring my AudioFormat correctly?
Am I controlling my AudioInputStream correctly?
I'm using JDK1.4 in eclipse. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

               Asking for a line is a rather tricky thing.
               We have to construct an Info object that specifies
               the desired properties for the line.
               First, we have to say which kind of line we want. The
               possibilities are: SourceDataLine (for playback), Clip
               (for repeated playback)     and TargetDataLine (for
               recording).
               Here, we want to do normal capture, so we ask for
               a TargetDataLine.
               Then, we have to pass an AudioFormat object, so that
               the Line knows which format the data passed to it
               will have.
               Furthermore, we can give Java Sound a hint about how
               big the internal buffer for the line should be. This
               isn't used here, signaling that we
               don't care about the exact size. Java Sound will use
               some default value for the buffer size.
          TargetDataLine     targetDataLine = null;
          DataLine.Info     info = new DataLine.Info(TargetDataLine.class,
                                   audioFormat, nBufferSize);
          try
               if (strMixerName != null)
                    Mixer.Info     mixerInfo = getMixerInfo(strMixerName);
                    if (mixerInfo == null)
                         out("AudioCommon.getTargetDataLine(): mixer not found: " + strMixerName);
                         return null;
                    Mixer     mixer = AudioSystem.getMixer(mixerInfo);
                    targetDataLine = (TargetDataLine) mixer.getLine(info);
               else
                    if (DEBUG) { out("AudioCommon.getTargetDataLine(): using default mixer"); }
                    targetDataLine = (TargetDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine(info);
               *     The line is there, but it is not yet ready to
               *     receive audio data. We have to open the line.
               if (DEBUG) { out("AudioCommon.getTargetDataLine(): opening line..."); }
               targetDataLine.open(audioFormat, nBufferSize);

Need help with Sound Problem

If you have 1 sound file playing on say frame 1, how do you
get frame 2 to play a different sound, without playing frame one's
sound as well? Right now 'frame 2' is playing both sound files. If
I use the commande 'stopAllSounds' the frame 2 sound file will not
play either.
Please help. Thank you.

The sound once started will play for as long as you loop it
or as long as its length
is (if not loop is define). Even sound run independent to
timeline so if you enter
frame 2 it will simply play another sound.
You need to make some on/off switches on frames or actions
that will control the
sound. Entering another frame won't do it and using
stopAllSounds works like purge
and clear player from all its sounds. The only way to get
sound back will be by
reloading the entire movie. One of these actions that not
many of us are using.

Need help with sound editing in FCE 4

I want to remove certain background sounds from my HDV video.. (ex. a baby screams in the background, I want to remove it).
Is there some way to separate different sounds within the video and delete that specific sound?
Also, I want to keep certain voices within the video, but have everything else have just white noise for the sound.
(I've read the parts of the manual, but haven't seen where I can completely edit and replace the audio in a recorded video)
Is this something that can be done using Soundtrack Pro 1.5 in FCE 3.5 HD?

Well.. I can see the waveforms that I basically want to remove and delete.
If I can delete it or cut it out, can I tie in the 'loose ends' of the audio?
(I don't want dead silence for 2-3 seconds of the film)
Also, is there a way to 'line up' the audio to each frame? I want to use a sound to play everytime someone's mouth opens.

I need help with Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Digital

Need help with Installing Canon LBP 2900B on Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8

I know this is going to sound silly, but really need help with this, URGENTLY!!!
Bought a Canon LBP2900B printer more than a year ago, and was using it on my MacBook Pro with OSX Snow Leopard (10.6.8) very well. My hard disk recently crashed and now I cannot reinstall the printer, nor can I find the driver for it anywhere for the Mac.
Have searched all the forums and followed all discussion threads on the Apple Communities as well, but none of the solutions seem to work. Even went back to @Dexter's solution with trying to download the file from the link http://boolet.free.fr/CAPT.zip (this is what I had done when I bought the printer, and it worked perfectly) but the link doesn't exist anymore.
Extremely grateful if anyone can put up a solution to this, or alternatively, IF ANYONE HAS THE OLD CAPT.ZIP FILE AND CAN UPLOAD IT.
Thanks in advance. Look forward to your solutions.
Cheers

Depends on how the partitons are arranged. If they're exactly as quoted, then yes.
Open Disk Utility and select the partition tab.
In the diagram, the top partition needs to be the one you're booted from, and partition 2 the middle one.
Select Partiton 2 so that it's highlighted, and click the '-' button below the diagram.
Drag the bottom right corner of partition 1 down to meet partition 3.

Hi Sarar2333! Let's get your text tones working again!
Here's a link with instructions how to enable and change your alert sounds for your text/notification settings on your iPhone 4S: http://vz.to/1stiF8a. You can ensure text tones are enabled by selecting a tone in the "Text Tone" setting. Let me know how that works out for you. Thanks!

Only the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Sounds like the phone was hacked to unlock it originally. Find out what carrier it is locked to, and look up their contact information using google or the search engine of your choice.

NEED HELP with ut2004 patch mu

HEY,
GREAT PRODUCT..BUT I GOT ONE QUESTION.
I RECENTLY INSTALLED THE NEW SOUNDBLASTEER X-FI UT2004 PATCH..WOW ITS AMAZING BUT WHEN EVERYTHING IS INPUTED WITH THE SOUND OPTIONS IN THE GAME.. THE "H/W 3D + EAX"... THE MUSIC DOESNT PLAY BUT WHEN I CHOOSE H/W + audio.. THE MUSIC PLAYS REGULAR BUT THE NEW WEAPON SOUNDS AND MUSIC ENHANCEMENT ISNT THERE.. PLEASE HELP ME TO GET THE MUSIC RUNNING IN THIS NEW PATCH, THE WEAPONS R AMAZING.. I JUST NEED HELP WITH THE MUSIC PLAYING.
thanks,
DANNY

Have you actually read what the patch does? If not, check it out here. http://www.soundblaster.com/products/x-fi/technology/ut2004/ What you are hearing is probably it. The weapon sounds itself don't change. It just sounds more immersi've in that you can hear the rockets flying from one side to another more clearly, or hearing flak scattering when it hits the ground, etc.. It's nothing significant, but it does make it a bit more interesting to play.

Need help with "percentage of" I need to see grandparent totals

Theres a division in my database between Supervisors, Representants, and Lines.
The hierarchy is Supervisors -> Representants -> Lines
I have a measure called "acum sold" and I need the percentage of it.
I`m using "Percentage of" -> "Collumn"and it works untill I reach the Lines level, then it doesn`t work (well it does, but not in the way I want)
Basically it`s this
Supervisor----Acum Sold---% Acum Sold
X-------------1000------------100%----
Then I go to the next level
Supervisor----Representant----Acum Sold---% Acum Sold
-----X----------------XY------------------500---------------50%-----
-----X----------------YZ------------------500---------------50%-----
And it`s still the way I want, but when I drill to XY representant...
Supervisor----Representant----Lines-------Acum Sold---% Acum Sold
-----X----------------XY------------XY1---------100---------------20%-----
-----X----------------XY------------XY2---------400---------------80%-----
The percentage is based off the XY totals (percentage of the 500 total acum sold) but I actually need the percentage based on the Supervisor
I need something like this
Supervisor----Representant----Lines-------Acum Sold---% Acum Sold
-----X----------------XY------------XY1---------100---------------10%-----
-----X----------------XY------------XY2---------400---------------40%-----
Because XY1 and XY2 sold only 50% of the supervisor`s total. But BIEE is always trying to get 100% of the parent level, instead of the "grandparent" one.
I hope I didn`t sound that confusing, I really need help with this one.
Thanks in advance

You need to use level based measures. Look up documentation/this forum for Level based measures (LBM).
In short you drag a fact meaure to a heirarchy level in business mapping layer and it will always aggreagtre to that level. So create a total and grandparent level then divide child sum by grandparent total (LBM)

Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of. I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit" issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
(and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks', "Adobe phone-in experiences")
Thank You,

Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
So I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself, I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products" to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE" button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is, how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
So after thinking this all out, and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year, I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however, if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending" with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly, and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add).., except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form.... Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of. First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time) of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one, basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it... and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly, the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4) If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that? Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...
