Problems with playback and saving sessions

Hi, guise!
I've run into two annoying problems:
1) For some unknown reason, the playback in new sessions is limited to -3db. So when I start a new 16/41000 session and import a commercial mp3 song just to check out its spectrum or tone, it's only hitting -3d on a meter, though it should be like 0db and clipping. Track volume = 0, master volume = 0. I've never seen this before, it's been happening to my Audition for a week or so, and I'm pretty shure I didnt change anything.
2) When saving huge sessions with like 35-45 tracks or so, sometimes it suggests to save unchanged audio files, too (so I end up with Overheads, Overheads (2), (3), (4), etc. That's the most annoying thing, baaargh!
Any pieces of advice?

Hmm... go to Preferences > Multitrack, and reset the Stereo Panning mode to L/R cut logarithmic rather than -3dB center. This won't happen then.

Yes, it's annoying. If you are absolutely sure that they aren't changed, then delete the extra ones. You might want to have a look at Mediasweeper too.

Please use normal english spelling - that way I don't feel as though I want to hurl...

  • Problem with Frameset and page session

    All,
    I am having a problem with Framesets and page session attributes. I
    have a client who's application uses a three frame frameset. They
    have a requirement on several pages that when a button is pushed two
    different pages load into the right and left frames. The way they
    are accomplishing this is that on the pages were this is required,
    they are adding target="_top" to the form declaration in their JSP.
    Then they store the page names they want to display in session,
    forward the request to the frameset, the frameset then determines
    which pages to display based on the session variables. This works
    exactly how they want it to.
    Here is our problem. We need to store some information in page
    session attributes. We have tried to get a handle to the desired
    view bean and call the setPageSessionAttribute method. However,
    since we are forwarding to the frame and the frame handles displaying
    the desired JSP, that view bean we had the handle to is not the one
    that is created to hand the display of the JSP.
    The next thing I tried was to use the request object. In the
    handleBtnRequest method, I set an attribute in the request object. I
    then query the request object in the beginDisplay event of the view
    bean. When the frame is reset the request object does not contain
    the attribute that I have set. I'm confused by this because I
    thought the request object would be available to me throughout the
    life of the request.
    Given the above information, does anyone have any suggestions? Also,
    am I going about this in the wrong manner.
    The client had been storing this information in user session, which
    seemed to work. However, since the data being stored dealt
    specifically with data for the requested page, we felt that storing
    it as page session was more appropriate.
    Thanks,

    The script on your page web page has some obvious bugs.. Best
    fix those

  • Solutions to "Problem with playback/recording devi...

    I've only had a few microphone/audio problems with a friend on Skype not being able to hear me or vice versa, nothing that couldn't be fixed. Usually the call would at least pick up even if there was no sound going through. But just out of the blue two days ago (Monday, May 4th), when my friend tried to call me, the call dropped without any explanation. I tried also to call, but then every time, it wouldn't even last long enough to ring and it would just drop. It kept having a notification saying "Problem with playback device" or "Problem with recording device". I've tried signing out of Skype, restarting my computer, checking all monitor audio levels, etc... I always keep my Skype up to date, but I checked again for any new in case that would allow the call to go through, but it didn't, even after I updated it to the lastest version 7.4.0.102. I tried calling Skype Testing Service a million times, but still the call won't even stay on long enough for me to read what it says under the microphone and speaker box after clicking on the connection icon; all I have time to see is "can't access sound card". The thing is, I can hear the millisecond of ringing tone, the sound it makes when the call drops, and all other sound Skype makes, so it's not a question of all sounds being on mute, but for some reason it says I have a problem with playback and recording device! Why is that?? I already searched here in the community Q&As for possible solutions to fixing the problem, but double-checking the audio settings under Tools > Options has not changed anything unfortunately. PLEASE HELP!!!

    I've never seen that message.  What exactly did it say?  You're using the native media from the T3i, it hasn't been converted, it's never been inside of Final Cut Pro?

  • Problem with trigger and entity in JHeadsart, JBO-25019

    Hi to all,
    I am using JDeveloper 10.1.2 and developing an application using ADF Business Components and JheadStart 10.1.2.27
    I have a problem with trigger and entity in JHeadsart
    I have 3 entity and 3 views
    DsitTelephoneView based on DsitTelephone entity based on DSIT_TELEPHONE database table.
    TelUoView based on TelUo entity based on TEL_UO database table.
    NewAnnuaireView based on NewAnnuaire entity based on NEW_ANNUAIRE database view.
    I am using JHS to create :
    A JHS table-form based on DsitTelephoneView
    A JHS table based on TelUoView
    A JHS table based on NewAnnuaireView
    LIB_POSTE is a :
    DSIT_TELEPHONE column
    TEL_UO column
    NEW_ANNUAIRE column
    NEW_ANNUAIRE database view is built from DSIT_TELEPHONE database table.
    Lib_poste is an updatable attribut in TelUo entity, DsitTelephone entity, NewAnnuaire entity.
    Lib_poste is upadated in JHS table based on TelUoView
    I added a trigger on my database shema « IAN » to upadate LIB_POSTE in DSIT_TELEPHONE database table :
    CREATE OR REPLACES TRIGGER “IAN”.TEL_UO_UPDATE_LIB_POSTE
    AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE OFF lib_poste ONE IAN.TEL_UO
    FOR EACH ROW
    BEGIN
    UPDATE DSIT_TELEPHONE T
    SET t.lib_poste = :new.lib_poste
    WHERE t.id_tel = :new.id_tel;
    END;
    When I change the lib_poste with the application :
    - the lib_poste in DSIT_TELEPHONE database table is correctly updated by trigger.
    - but in JHS table-form based on DsitTelephoneView the lib_poste is not updated. If I do a quicksearch it is updated.
    - in JHS table based on NewAnnuaireView the lib_poste is not updated. if I do a quicksearch, I have an error:
    oracle.jbo.RowAlreadyDeletedException: JBO-25019: The row of entity of the key oracle.jbo. Key [null 25588] is not found in NewAnnuaire.
    25588 is the primary key off row in NEW_ANNUAIRE whose lib_poste was updated by the trigger.
    It is as if it had lost the bond with the row in the entity.
    Could you help me please ?
    Regards
    Laurent

    Message Edited by raflevi on 05-4-2009 02:38 [email protected]

    My apologies about not explaining further about disabling SPDIF passthrough. See the steps below to enable DDL encoding.
    ***Before proceeding please make sure that you've purchased, installed and activated the DDL pack***
    . Open Creative Audio Console, go to the Decoder tab to disable driver level encoding and enable SPDIF passthrough (this is done by selecting SPDIF passthrough or any similar option that enable the use of an external decoder) instead of using the built-in decoders.
    2. Open up your playback devices window (right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select playback devices) and set analog speakers (not SPDIF) as your default device. This is VERY IMPORTANT step, or else you get the "the device is busy" error when enbaling DDL encoding.
    3. In the Audio Console, select the Encoder tab and enable DLL encoding.
    Note:
    When DDL encoding is enabled, it makes exclusi've use of your SPDIF connection so, no passthrough is possible. The default output format when using DDL encoding is 48KHz/6 bits. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) when DLL encoding is enabled, then please change their output device to analog speakers instead of SPDIF.
    To use back SPDIF passthrough (when playing back media with a pre-encoded audio source), open up Audio Console and disable DDL encoding and in the Playback Devices window change the default device to SPDIF. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) then please change their output device back to SPDIF. You may also wish to change back your output format to 92KHz/24 bits (right click on SPDIF and select properties -> Advanced tab).

    I created a HttpSession object in my main class and then called a URL via HttpURLConnection.
    I tried to access the same session object from the servlet called by the URL . but the main session

    Try to eliminate any configured attributes on radius except those in IETF radius. Then try again.
    You may also chech by removing the shared eap as suggested above. Let us know if this works.

  • Problem with Class and Classpath

    Hello ME Windows Users, now before you place a wry smile on your face, I have a problem with path and classpath. Stop it, I can see you smiling!
    By visiting the the last 10 pages of the forum and reading Sun installation notes, some tooldocs and by given some answers by some nice people, I have become an expert in turning off my computer, about 10 times/hr. I still am trying to make my first cup of java.
    With the ME computer,
    I'm unable to right click on the desktop and go to properties, advanced,
    I'm unable to go go start, run, sysedit,
    I'm unable to change the ms-dos window of autoexec.bat, it just shuts down.
    Now before you tell me, I should of bought a different computer, the only place I can find to modify the path and classpath is in the environment which is in system configuration under tools. Here I have placed numerous configurations, like
    C:\java>set path=%path%;c:\j2sdk1.4.2\bin
    C:\java>set classpath=%classpath%;.;
    ;java_dir\bin where ;java_bin is c:\j2sdk1.4.2
    .; java_dir\bin; %path% where ;java_bin is c:\j2sdk1.4.2 and the list goes on.
    But, I know you are still smiling, the % signs comes up in a dialog box, saying too many, and will not convert the text to the environment to be saved when I close down for the tenth time in the last hour.
    Can someone help me before I make a real cup of coffee and accidentally drop it on the ME box.
    Have a laugh on me Mik.

    C:\java>set path=%path%;c:\j2sdk1.4.2\binGood
    But it is no good because it has to many % and a dialog box appears, saying you have too many parameters.
    Are you saying I have to shutdown again to answer your ?
    From the HELP menu-
    To confirm startup commands line by line
    Click Start, and then click Shut down.
    Click Restart, click OK, and then press and hold the CTRL key until the Windows Startup Menu appears.
    Enter the number for Step-by-step confirmation, and then press ENTER.
    For each command you want to run, press Y.
    If the command runs successfully, you are prompted with the next command.

  • I am having a problem with playback in Final Cut 6.0.6

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with playback in Final Cut 6.0.6 of 1920x1080 60p footage.
    I transcoded MTS files shot on a Sony NEX FS100 into Apple Pro Res mov files but the
    playback stutters in Final Cut and QTime making it impossible to edit. Is this because the files
    are just so big the computer is having a problem processing them? If so what should I edit in to preserve the
    best quality?
    I am Running Mac OSX 10.6.8
    2x2.4 Ghz Quad Core Intel
    32 GB 1066 MHz DDR3
    Admittedly my FCUT is out of date, I intend to up to X when I finish off an ongoing project.
    Thanks Luci

    You might consider running diskwarrior on your drive (alsoft.com).  And run diskutility, repair disk.  A corruption of the drive could cause problems.  Also, drive speed starts to fall sharply as the drive gets full.  Make sure you have a minimum of 10% free space on the drive.  You might also get a utility to check the speed of the drive.  I think Aja has one.
    Also, do you have anything else connected to the firewire bus?  If so, try disconnecting it.  You might also try disconnecting ethernet and turning off your airport.  Resetting your fcp preferences couldn't hurt.

    The font is coming from a notation software Sibelius 4 and is namned opus
    Hmmm ... Sibelius is a music notation software and notations are marked up in MusicXML. Presumably the font file is an SFNT with TrueType splines, but it is probably not installed in OS X system folders - rather in an internal Sibelius application font folder. So presumably you do not see the font in FontBook and OS X font auditing does not apply to the font.
    Sibelius exports EPS files, right? If memory serves, an EPS is still legal even if the font resource is not embedded. And in any case, we know from the behaviour that the font resource is not embedded for some reason. So how do you get Sibelius to put the font resource inside the graphic ... normally there is a button in the EPS export procedure that gives you the option to Embed All Fonts.
    You do not seem to get this button, though. Or why else would you not have checked it already and the problem would have gone away already.
    The next point in troubleshooting this is that you are not following the path that would let OS X detect that an external font resource is not embedded.
    I go from pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8-save as Pdf-x
    What you are doing here is telling Pages to tell OS X to generate a PostScript program within which is nested your Encapsulated PostScript program with the call to an unresolved external font resource.
    So why does Acrobat Pro not detect the unresolved external font resource? Hmm ... did you try the Preflight option in Acrobat 8 Pro? It should provide information on unresolved embeddings.
    I have also tried pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8 and save pdf as postscript and put the postscript file in destiller 8 pro with defalt setting high quality print
    The whole problem with EPS and PS is that this sort of situation is possible in the first place (plus, what is worse, the PS program can include custom additions to the graphics model that then fail in the PS interpreter whence Apple GX normalizing, Adobe Distiller normalizing, and Apple Quartz normalizing). You want to get as far away from EPS and PS as possible, believe me.
    So, you have not done what I posted that you should do in the first place. If I were you, I would first get rid of the problem that the EPS is making a call to an external font and then get rid of the problem that the PostScript is preserving the external call.
    To get rid of the problem that the EPS is preserving an external call, simply open the EPS in Apple Preview which includes a NORMALIZER for EPS/PS, and then save out the graphic as PDF. Alternatively, if you don't trust Quartz for some reason, set up a hotfolder for Distiller, make sure the option to embed all fonts is enabled, and convert the EPS to PDF.
    Now replace your EPS in Pages with PDF in Pages, and don't save PostScript to disk but save PDF to disk through the proper procedure which is File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF/X [for your custom configuration of the PDF/X-3 filter considering that no sane person in North Europe prints lowend US SWOP, we use ISO].
    If you begin by telling OS X that you want PDF within which fonts are supposed to be embedded ALWAYS, then you have started the right way. Otherwise, you have not told the operating system what you want to do, and this then leads you into places where you are unlikely to have the expertise to troubleshoot problems.
    So, forget placing EPS in the first place, place PDF. And forget saving PostScript to disk, save PDF to disk. If that does not sort your problem, here is the dirty solution for professional prepress.
    Adobe Photoshop has an EPS rasterizer that has wide tolerances for poor PostScript programming (so does Adobe Illustrator 6 and higher by the way).
    Therefore, if an EPS is posing problems, one workaround is to rasterize the EPS at high resolution in Photoshop and place that high resolution PDF in your layout.
    Take care that you rasterize as 1 bit at the required resolution of the print provider, probably 2450 dpi. When you save the 1 bit as PDF, Photoshop automatically compresses to a very, very small file (don't be surprised if 15Mb compresses to something like 0.5Mb).
    Rasterizing in Photoshop should not be necessary if you simply start by telling the operating system what it is you are trying to do. Then the operating system should be able to take the right decisions for you, and tell if you if finds problems it cannot resolve without turning to you.
    Good luck,

  • Discussion Forum Portlet - Problems with JAVA and UTF8?

    Hi
    I installed the Discussion Forum Portlet successfully. It also seems that almost everything works fine. There's only a problem if I have new posts that include special German characters (Umlaute) like ä, ö, ü or special French characters like é, è or ç. They are saved correctly in the table but if you view the post the characters are not displayed correctly.
    Example
    input: ça va?
    result: ça va?
    I know that there are problems with Java and UTF8 Database. Is there a possibility to change this (bug)?
    Regards
    Mark

  • Problem with Playback device on windows 10

    Just today i downloaded the new Windows 10 update and i like it for the most part. But i went on skype today for a video chat and a pop up came up saying that i have a problem with playback device and i cannot video or voice call. skype worked fine yesterday on windows 8, need solutions ASAP.

    Do minimize the chances of having issues with other audio/video devices: 1.  Uninstall Cyberlink Webcam Splitter.  It my not work properly in Windows 10.2.  Disable Stereo Mix. You can also download and install the latest Realtek Driver suite even if you have the latest/same drivers installed.  The suite can resolve issues. Download and install the latest generic Realtek audio drivers (High Definition Audio Codecs - 64bit Windows 10)http://www.realtek.com/downloads/ I've outlined most of the causes and solutions here:http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Problem-With-Playback-device/m-p/3356467/highlight/true#M282763 

  • Problem with JFrame and busy/wait Cursor

    Hi -- I'm trying to set a JFrame's cursor to be the busy cursor,
    for the duration of some operation (usually just a few seconds).
    I can get it to work in some situations, but not others.
    Timing does seem to be an issue.
    There are thousands of posts on the BugParade, but
    in general Sun indicates this is not a bug. I just need
    a work-around.
    I've written a test program below to demonstrate the problem.
    I have the problem on Solaris, running with both J2SE 1.3 and 1.4.
    I have not tested on Windows yet.
    When you run the following code, three JFrames will be opened,
    each with the same 5 buttons. The first "F1" listens to its own
    buttons, and works fine. The other two (F2 and F3) listen
    to each other's buttons.
    The "BUSY" button simply sets the cursor on its listener
    to the busy cursor. The "DONE" button sets it to the
    default cursor. These work fine.
    The "SLEEP" button sets the cursor, sleeps for 3 seconds,
    and sets it back. This does not work.
    The "INVOKE LATER" button does the same thing,
    except is uses invokeLater to sleep and set the
    cursor back. This also does not work.
    The "DELAY" button sleeps for 3 seconds (giving you
    time to move the mouse into the other (listerner's)
    window, and then it behaves just like the "SLEEP"
    button. This works.
    Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

    I've had the same problems with cursors and repaints in a swing application, and I was thinking of if I could use invokeLater, but I never got that far with it.
    I still believe you would need a thread for the time consuming task, and that invokeLater is something you only need to use in a thread different from the event thread.

  • Problem with installing and running some applications or drivers

    When installing and installing some items, towards the end of the installation I get this message:
    /System/Library/Extensions/comcy_driver_USBDevice.kext
    *was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it or contact product's vendor for update*
    The end result is that some things do not seem to work properly, such as my HP printer. Would anybody have any ideas on how to fix this problem?

    Thank you for your response. Originally, I had a problem with Airport and ended up reinstalling Snow Leopard. Since then, when downloading upgrades etc, such as HP printer drivers, iTunes etc., towards the end of the download when its running the script, I get this message: /System/Library/Extensions/comcy_driver_USBDevice.kext
    +was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it or contact product's vendor for update+
    Sometimes, the download hangs and is unable to complete. The main problem I've encountered so far with an application is when I use the printer to scan an image via Preview, it's blank: there's nothing there.

  • Problems with outlook and address book contacts: my outlook contacts had around 3,000 entries. Outlook duplicated by itself and now outlook and address book have each over 340,000. What should I do?

    Problems with outlook and address book contacts: my outlook contacts had around 3,000 entries. Outlook duplicated entries and have now 340,000. I reinstalled microsoft office and, thus, outlook, and reinstalled mac OS X system and applications. While I managed to delete outlook contacts so that I can re-sync with my blackberry, the contacts at Mac Address Book were not deleted and still have over 340,000 entries. I do not mind deleting all contacts since I have back up, but I have not been able to delete them. Also, when I go at Address Book and try to delete or merge duplicated entries, the system takes forever and never ends because of such large amount of entries. Worse, when I do so I run out of RAM memory.
    My Macbook pro is just 2 months old.
    What should I do? Is there a way to delete my Mac Address Book without having the problem above?
    Many thanks
