Pretty new to this, 2 recordings, doesn't sound right.. need help!
we had a narrator come into our own booth and record a lot of narration for us. She came back today to do some additions and corrections.
Used the same equipment, same booth, same everything, but for some reason it just doesn't sound right, it sounds "muffled" a little.. at least to me. I don't normally "clean" audio so I'm kind of lost. I haev the frequency analysis open and see the graph, and between 16000 and up its much much lower on the original recordings than it is on the ones done today.
Is there ANY way to try to get these matched up closely? All i've really tried is the EQ but that doesn't seem to get me very far.. what other things could I try... I'm really not an expert at this by any means!
This sort of problem has plagued everybody recording narrations for years - it's virtually impossible to get an identical sound between narration sessions unless you are seriously lucky. All it takes is for the narrator to have a slight cold in the head and be wearing different clothes - and they sound different if a direct comparison is made. Even worse is if they had a slight cold or whatever the first time around and are fine the next - you'd need them to get that cold again! And no EQ or anything else can even begin to compensate for this - the human ear is incredibly sensitive to the sound of voices, and even really subtle changes are very noticeable.
Best thing to do is to re-record sections, and not just corrections - you can often get away with this if there are breaks between sections. Even then it may not be right.
The way it has always worked for me is that if alternatives may be required, we do them all at the same sitting - and record a load of 'silence' too - that comes in more useful than you might ever imagine. And if it's critical, then re-record the whole thing - the amount of editing and correcting time required may well exceed the re-recording time, so often its worth it even though it sounds mad on the face of it.

I want to make a bootable usb drive for my macbook air,and my system is osx mountain lion 10.8.5. How can i download it again without repaying for it so i can make my bootable flashdrive? I'm pretty new at this computer stuff so i don't know how things work.
Message was edited by: tzaphonThis is not difficult and you will not have to download from the app store.
your computer has what is called a recovery partition that came with it.
simply hold cmd+R while you boot up. let go a second after you hear the chime.
you will boot into the recovery partition.
Use disk utlity to format your usb drive and then exit Disk utlity and go to Reinstall Mountain Lion.
it will ask you which disk you want to install ML onto. Choose your new USB drive.

I am just kind of worried that it doesn't even fit. Do I need to kind of pop the expanded portion of the battery to get it to fit back in? The case of the battery has come apart and so to fit it back in I would have to press it back together. The battery is low count and had great capacity when it happened. I don't want to have to buy another one when this one is fairly new.
... The apple genuis said it is still safe to use, that doesn't sound right.
I agree with you, that's not right.
This may seem to be a little problem - fix it before it becomes a big one. -
New to VERIZON but doesn't feel right!
Hey guys...
IM A new Guy.
New to VERIZON but doesn't feel right! Although the 1st Gen Droid is truly awesome, it was the rival of the phone I sported way back when the G1 was the current bad boy on the block the NexusOne. I HAD NO OTHER ANDROID devices in stock! SO I selected the Droid. But I desire a DROID X. YES I AM OBSESSED. ...SEARCHING for one...I guess ill have to wait iltill I'm eligible for upgrade. I was thinking I had 30 days to exchange and as soon as they are in swap...but I can't if I have talked more than 30-50min....so that's out.
If anyone has any suggestions please let me knew thanksg3cortez wrote:

What is this...a new rule? Where did you get this from? The only restriction on the 30 days is one exchange, as has been previously stated. As far as I know there is no restriction on the calling minutes used....is there? -
Hi, I'm new at this but I am hoping someone can help me.I have recently been away for 5 weeks and my Tom Tom required updating.When I clicked to update it, it required a pc. As I didn't have access to a pc it wouldn't work is there any way to do this without a pc? I was without this app for 3 weeks! Thanks, Lea
The process to update your Tom Tom is a big data file, you will need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network for it to download. If will take about an hour.

IPhone Vibrate doesn't sound right.
When my iPhone 4 vibrates, it has this weird rattling sound to it. I just got a new one from sending mine in, and my last one didn't sound like this.. Should I get in contact with Apple?
If you are not satisfied then of course you can, a refurb is meant to be as new and yours doesn't sound like it is.

Have you tried, or are you able to restore the ipod?
I have the exact same problem. Can't restore the shuffle because it doesn't show up in Finder or iTunes.
I have an iPod mini that is working just fine. I have the latest version of everything on a G5. Shuffle is off when I plug it in to computer and I've tried every port on the computer. Are there lemon shuffle 2nd generations out there? I've been giving them as gifts. -

If is a fillable form, just tab to the next field. What we do not understand from you is IF it is a fillable form or not. If it is not, then the 3 options I gave can be used. Placing text is always a problem. You might find it useful to turn on the grid to help in placing your typewriter fields. However, if it is fillable you do not have to create any fields to type in, you just leave the tool as the hand tool and select the predefined fields with the cursor or the tab key and type accordingly. If the field is a checkbox, then you just use the space key to activate it.
So, are we talking about a fillable form or something that has the appearance of a form, but not fields to fill in. This is what Bernd has been try to find out and you keep suggesting it is fillable as we read what you have said.

Tab Limit Reached, Can't Open A New Tab Until You Close One.
How do I close the tabs?Asus doesn't make the iPad. Is this some other tablet?
Sounds like you have maxed out the browser windows. In the browser app, press the menu or overflow bottom to see if there is an window/tabs options. There you should see a thumbnail image of each tab you have opened and in the corner of each should be a X or minus symbol that you touch to close that tab/window. -
Sound on Itunes doesn't sound right
I'm not sure if my problem is with my computer or the itunes. The sound when i play my music on itunes is terrible. The equilizer doesn't help at all, i put it on manual and i couldn't hear anything, just an intense amount of bass. The vocals will be really low and and the other parts jacked way up or vise versa. I can't figure this out.
Hi notoriousnwa
Try using the Recovery Manager to Restore the Original Driver look for the IDT High-Definition Audio driver.
Also, do you have any sound issue when using Windows Media Player?

HT1146 I have a NEW e-mail provider. I must CHANGE this on my Apple & iTunes account - need HELP !
I haved moved after 38 years in the same place.
I have changed e-mail addresses and cannot seem to get Apple to leave my OLD address alone. In trying to fix this, I have changed my password several times, and am now having a really bad time even getting into my iTunes account etc. Need some help here.
Thanks, BrianI'm assuming OS X here based on the choice of forum, and not iOS based on the footer.
Please do not repeatedly change passwords or repeatedly fail passwords logins, or you'll risk triggering the evasion processing.
I'd expect Apple to send a confirming email message to the old email address when you manage your AppleID data over to the new email address, but the selection should otherwise remain. The mail message sent to the old address is intended to notify the user, should the account have been highjacked.
The email address is not tied to the AppleID password. Other than you'll need the password to log in and change the saved email address.
You'll have various prompts for passwords around Safari and iTunes that might remember the old OS X settings via your local Keychain, and you'll be changing those as you log in. (That's your local system applying defaults, and not anything at Apple.) You can either change those as you log in, or you can open Keychain Access and (carefully!) find and remove the old entries. (I'd strongly encourage making a backup of your keychain or of your system before deleting old Keychain entries.)
If something else is going on and you've verified the email settings are correct on your account, then you'll probably want to contact the folks at Apple directly. -
I have the disc for Adobe Photo Deluxe 2 --- I know it is a very old program, but it does what I need to do in a very easy way. I have tried downloading PhotoShop Album starter edition and Adobe Photoshop Elments version 7 - and they just don't do what I need as easily - or I can't figure it out. Anyhow, I'm using vista on a new machine and cannot run Adobe Photo Deluxe 2 - any help to get this program running would be greatly appreciated. I'm mainly using it to fix and edit clip art for a church newsletter. So I really don't have a lot of money (like none) to spend on buying a new program that still won't do what I need it to do. Thanks for any and all help on this issue.
First use JPanel not Panel.
Panel panels[]=new Panel[4];becomes
JPanel panels[]=new JPanel[4];Then refactor your code so that you use arrays correctly:
panels=new Panel();
panels.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));becomes
panels=new JPanel();
panels[i].setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
I did the above changes to your code and it worked fine.

I tried to change the link speed and duplex from "auto negotation" to "1 Gbps Full Duplex," but then my computer no longer even could connect.
If your computer can't negotiate a 1Gbps connection, then that is what is limiting you to 94Mbps, which is about right for a "100Mbps" port.
There could be several reasons for this.
A bad NIC
A bad port on the switch
IMO, the most likely cause is a bad cable. 1Gbps requires all 4 pairs in the cable be connected. If only 2 of the 4 pairs are connected correctly, you will get a 100Mbps connect, but will not be able to connect at 1Gbps. Try replacing the cable with one known to work at 1Gbps.
