PRE POST FADER Question.....

I have a lead vocal sent via a send, to an AUX with a delay on it. I muted the lead vocal track, but am still hearing the echo from the delay AUX track. I checked, and it is set to POST fader. So this shouldn't happen.
I have just noticed something while writing this.
The track in question is a mono track, with the SEND on it sent to the AUX as stated.
I have other tracks sent to the Aux with the delay, and when they are muted, they do NOT come through the delay. The DIFFERENCE is, those are AUX tracks.
So....6 background mono tracks whose output is set to say, BUS 1. AUX with BUSS one as an input, for all the backgrounds. That AUX has a SEND to the DELAY buss, and when it is muted, no sound comes out the delay, which is correct.
So it SEEMS that the fact that my LEAD vocal that I am having the problem with, is a mono track, set to the stereo out, with a send to the delay, and is NOT working properly. Hmmm...am I onto something here? Bug?

Got it, I see, yes. My mistake was in thinking muting the BVX Aux would mute the send to the DEL Aux, because it's been a long day mixing and I was not thinking this out. Thanks for that!
Muting AUX tracks to mute groups of vocals make it easy to do stems, and in this case, it was a background vocal, but the ONLY background vocal that needed to have a delay.There were many other backing vocal tracks that you can't see here also assigned to that BVX AUX. It really shouldn't have been grouped at all with the rest of the backs in the first place. I would normally not have a send going to a delay on one individual track that was assigned to a group (bus) track like the BVX Aux. Normally the send to the delay would be on the AUX track. This was an unusual case, and I didn't route the "Ad Lib" track in a manner that makes sense. Way too long a day mixing;)
Thanks for clearing this up. Thought I was going crazy. Well, I kind of was...;)

Pre/Post Fader Metering. Stumped...

I'm recording some test tones into Logic so that when I go to another studio next week I can calibrate the gain controls on the other studio's mixing board to be the same as mine (we have the same boards, BTW).
Although I normally have pan law set to -3dB compensated, I set the pan law to 0dB to record my test tones.
After recording the tones, I switched back to -3dB compensated and noticed the following behavior of the audio channel's meters which I can't understand. I've never been very good at this whole level thing, so I'm hoping someone can 'splain it to me. Here's the behavior:
Again, with pan law set to -3dB compensated...
On the left is my audio channel 1 showing my test tone playing back from Logic, metering set to post-fade. Note the peak level (3.4 dB) as well as the visual level of the LED ladder on the meter. Now, compare that to the image on the right, which is the same audio channel 1, but with metering switched to pre-fade. You can see that the peak level is now displayed as 3 dB hotter (6.4 dB), but the LED ladder displays a lower level.
Furthermore, it's apparently necessary to manually clear the overload indicators to see an updated numerical display after switching from post-fade to pre-fade metering. If this is not done, then when switching to pre-fade metering, the meter's LED ladder display appears to drop but the numerical readout doesn't change (stays at 3.4 dB). This is really confusing to me.
So I'm stumped. It's probably obvious, but still, I'm stumped. Can anyone explain this behavior?
-=iS=-

Hi iSchwartz,
<quote>o I think I get it now... When the pan is dead center, I'm seeing the peak level of -6.4. When panned left, the meter rises to -3.4, and I guess I'm witnessing the "compensated" part of the panning law. Is that right?</quote>
Yes indeed that is the compensation.This comes from the analog days when one would pan dead center,and end up having to reduce the level of the signal by about 3dB,when mixing especially.This only occurred on certain consoles,I cannot tell you which ones,I don't remember.I am glad Logic has this feature,as mixing with and without it creates very different results.It depends on what analog console you were brought up with,which way you would like the panning law to behave like.
It would be interesting to see how the compensation alters the levels throughout the panorama,but that would take a lot of time to test out.Maybe when I have some spare time I'll do some basics like dead center, -10,+10,etc... and see what the levels come out to be.
Cheers,

Pre/ Post and Post pan colours

Hi,
This ain't exactly a show stopper, but..
In the mixer you can send the feeds as pre, post fader, or post pan.
These 3 options are supposed to change the colour of the send box.
Pre is green, post is blue, and post pan is supposed to be orange- but it's not. It is also blue.
As I said, not exactly worth getting too freaked about!

Well, there goes my 5 minutes of fame!
Thanks!

Pre-fader vs. post-fader metering

I generally avoid any internal clipping on my virtual instruments by making use of logic's pre-fader metering option, is this really necessary?
Which is best, mix post fader and forget about internal levels of plug-ins, instruments etc. or always make sure there is no internal clipping?
What are the results really when making sure there is no post or pre fader clipping?

Chance Harper wrote:
I did a quick experiment to see what the result would be if I overloaded or pushed the internal volume of a plug-in but made sure the output channel wasn't clipping VS. a plug-in that got leveled pre and post.
I used only a drum kit from battery 3 with a simple riff. Pushed the plug-ins overall volume to +6.0dB and then made sure my post fader level wasn't clipping, both of them then got mastered using ozone 4.
Both of the tracks reached the same RMS level, neither of the two sounded louder than the other.
The one I pushed up in the plug-in sounded a bit squashed and not as clear or pure as the one that considered the pre and post fader metering. The drums sounded way more defined and clear when ensuring both pre-and post metering wasn't clipping.
It does seem that by ensuring none of your virtual stuff clips internally you get purer sound.
Of course I am sure you could still get a great sound if you internally only pushed it over by 2dBs. Still think it's best though to mix pre and post as a rule. Any comments?

again, i would agree with BeeJay's original reply to the original post. it's not good practice to let internal levels fly out of control and there's really no good reason to. and i would also agree that keeping levels lower result in better quality mixes.

Pre and Post test Questions

I have a project that requires a pre-test, post-test and
knowledge reviews throughout the course. I have created 10 question
slides (I did not use question pools). I am having two issues occur
within the course. First I do not want to track or score the
pre-test questions or the questions embedded within the course what
I will refer to as Knowledge reviews.
I do want the user to go through and receive feedback on each
question answered incorrectly but I do not want a score to be
collected/tracked or tallied as part of the sum total for the
course. The post-test questions need to be the only tracked/scored
questions with that value being submitted to the LMS.
Currently all the questions are being tallied in the course.
(i.e test results show 30 questions with a score when there should
only be 10). What is the best way to include mutiple questions
within my course (as pre-test and Knowledge reviews) but not have a
score tracked until the user takes a post test.
To correct this should I change the pre-test and knowledge
reviews to a survey type question? Or should I leave the question
as graded but set the point value to 0. I inially left the pre-test
and knowldge reviews as graded questions but I deselected Report
Answers under the reporting tab thinking this would prevent the
passing of a score, which is not the case.
If anyone can offer some advice or point me to some
documentaiton that discusses this I would greatly appreciate any
help.
The second issue I have is with the progress indicator within
the course. Is there a way to revmove this from the quesiton pages.
My client does not want to see this indicator. The current work
around I am using is to reduce the font size of the indicator to
5pt, setting the font color to match my background and then
positioning the indicator in a set loation on the page. While this
workaround works I would like to remove it in total if possible.
Thanks in advance,

The first part sounds very weird. I just made a project which
included knowledge checks in the middle of the course and they are
not tracked in the final test. I used Graded questions in my course
and I initially set the score per question to 0 points. After I
found out that they were counted in the question total I removed
the reporting for each of the questions. Now the points are not
being counted and also the questions are not being counted in the
final assesment - I just have the 6 questions out of 6 in the
post-test even though I have 4 knowledge checks inside the course
it self.
Try and click F9 to open up the advanced interaction panel
and make sure that the answers are not being reported. I know it's
obvious, but sometimes Captivate does some weird things.
As for your second question regarding the progress indicator
you can remove that by going to Quiz - Quiz Preferences - Settings
and then unchecking the box "Show Progress".
Best regards,
Michael

Posted: Jun 30, 2009 10:22 AM Edit Reply
Dear all Gurus,
We are going to implement Oracle EBS r12, for industrial concern, we have following quires if any peer may suggest.
1) we heard the oracle R12 has build new release with 11g db , is it been practical for choosing it for corporate ???
2) Linux Read hat which version is more stable like 5 releases is compatible with R12 new release?
3) We are also thinking for 64 bit architecture rather than 32 bit, could any one figure out the practical pros and cons for this.
4) We are also wondering about the server machine brand and its configurations like HP DL380 G6, DELL 2850? could any one share abut his experience about the same.
5) What sort of Server configurations (Processor , 2way -4way , RAM , HD and other accessories ) for r12 Multi node setup for 150 clients (DB Server , Apps Server , Test Prod )
6) What should be backup strategies like tap backup and how much space requirements we must have provisioned for retaining almost 2~3 month backup.
7) Application implementations methodologies?
8)
I know to address our queries would be time consuming for you bust peoples , but I would really oblige for being shared your journey this would defiantly the PATH way for other like mentoring for others.
looking forward your valuable instructions ASAP.

Hi Lev,
To your question to clear the track
You can delete your track as described in the below link, and then recreate the track and reimport.

Branching w/ a pre/post-test

Hello!
Could you help? I have a presentation that is set to
continuous play from one slide to the next. On slide 2, the user
has the option to skip to take the pretest (slide 31) or continue
with the presentation (slide 3) - I have successfully done this. If
they take the pretest, at the end, they can return to slide 3 to
continue with the presentation. I have tried inserting click box
and button but neither seem to allow me to branch backward,
meaning, return to slide 3 once the pre-test is completed. Why?
Other information:
The pre/post-test is set up where they hit the "submit" to
report each answer and proceed to the next question. All test
questions are randomized (from a pool of Qs) so the same test is
used for pre/post test.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Classromm test is some thing which is a physical activity. So it would be better not to include that in SAP as a seperate course.
And one more question that arises is if an employee takes up WBT, then at what frequency classroom tests would be conducted.
This makes it impossible to define a classroom tarining for post test.
Instead it would be better to define two WBTs in a curriculum
And the second one will be used to book a slot for test. Once the test is completed, the score can be directly uploaded to the relevant tables for the second WBT. So you will be hvaing two courses , with two scores.
The secod WBT is merely being used to store the scores for classroom post test.
if you want to view both the scores seperately, then both of them cannot be stored in the same course

Annoying screen on pre-POST

Hi all, i used the search function and Google but I don't found a query that explains my question.
Some years ago I bought a new video card for my computer, a Point Of View Graphics equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT GPU. As I installed it my computer shows for a second or two a pre-POST black screen with the card specifications (brand, model, RAM, etc.), and I've always found this very annoying, but I didn't care cause 2/3 seconds in a global boot time of 45 seconds were not so important. Now I bought a new computer but i kept the video card, i have an SSD and the overall boot time is about 15s, so 2s become significant. Nothing of tragic, but man lives to walk up to perfection so... How can I remove it? Thank you!

Pre-Post Processing Examples

I'd like to learn more about how to use the Pre-Post Processing feature in the Apex Listener.
Does anyone have any examples or documentation on how to do this?
Thanks,
C

So i've answered my own question in part:
Here is what I did:
1. created a procedure named web_log_prc that inserts some session data into a table (web_log) in the Apex Application's parsing schema.
2. granted execute privileges on that procedure to apex_public_user.
3. In the post-processing text field in the apex listener admin page i entered the name of the procedure: <username>.web_log_prc
Now when I click around in the app, rows get generated in the web_log table.
My intend was to capture Oracle session data and tie it back to a particular Apex user. As expected, the username logged is apex_public_user.
Is there a way to capture the session identifier that the connection pooling mechanisms use to send the data fetched from the database back to the correct Apex user?

Help! Where should I post this question, so I can get it answer?

I'm with the greastest Apple communuty on earth, but know ones responds to my question, except once. Is it worded incorrectly or difficult to understand. I been at for 4-5 months. Any help is well appreciated.

Can Itune get too full whereas it will stop downloading podcast automatically or manually? I just exported my 2006 " bibleonradio" podcast to a folder on my harddrive. Immediately itune started downloading podast from that site. But for the last 4-5 months it would hit and miss with downloading and the last 2 weeks it quit altogether.I would go to the site and download the podcast to a selected itune folder as a mp3 for listening.
Do I need to do some type of maintenance to prevent this from occurring? The site is simple reading of bible scriptures. Could itunes get confuse with 2006 podcasts, thinking I already have the podcast, even though the release date for the new podast are mark 2007?

I have that symbol on some of my other podacst sites, but not this one because I listen to it daily, sometimes 2-3 times a day. Could the exclamation symbol for the othe sites, which goes away if I start listening to them again affect this podcast? but these site with the exclamation also hit and miss when itunes downloads, as much as 2-3 weeks once I start it back up.

What's happened to me is that some Podcasts I subscribe to I might get lazy about listening to. Several of the Podcasts will pile up, and after a while iTunes will stop updating if you haven't listened to them. When I click on that little exclamation point in a circle, it will tell me that iTunes hasn't been updating that podcast because I haven't listened to it in a while. I think it asks if you want to continue (or maybe you have to click on subscribe again to get them started back).
If you are listening to this particular podcast every day, that shouldn't be a problem. And not listening to the other ones shouldn't affect this one. Sorry I can't be of more help, but I'm not sure what is causing it.
You might go to iTunes> Preferences and click on the tab for Podcasts and see what your settings are there.

Some Podcasts have many episodes and when I subscribe, I get them all at once. But with some podcasts ( http://www.bibleonradio.com/ ), only a few episodes download, and I know there are many others available either because I can see them listed by going directly to the site or because they are numbered and some are clearly missing. I have tried setting my preferences both to download the latest edition of a podcast when I update or to download ALL editions. No difference either way.
Strangely enough, if I am patience , sometimes the gaps will fill themselves in or all at once when I choose to click update. Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I email the web administrator and they said they were able to go to the itune store and download all the recent episodes. Below is my email conversation.
Thanks,
Austin

I just went out to the iTunes store and tried to download those dates you had a problem with and I was able to download them without any problem. Maybe you should try again. And yes, you can manually download them from our website and store them into your podcast library. I’ve done that before and it works too.

Deleting the application rarely solves anything on Macs. A better starting point is normally to delete the preference file for the application (in Users/~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist) or see if you have the same problem in another user account on the computer.

A few post config questions on new setup

Hi Group,
Just a few post config questions.
First, how can I confirm my controller is in fact associating properly with an NTP server? On a typically cisco product, I could just do a 'show ntp associations' or a 'show ntp status'. I cannot see a way to confirm this on the gui or command line.
Second, on my guest network with web-auth, if one were to choose to not use https for web-auth and instead use unsecure http, would that be possible and if so where in the gui?
Thanks.

The third field is from a WLC running v7.4 not v7.2. I usually would install a 3rd party certificate, but what eles you can try is issue this command on from the CLI. It had issues working with certain code versions, but you might as well give it a try.
