Question about Level Meter Plug in

I know how to change the channel meter between pre/post fader metering is there a way to do this with Logic's Level Meter plug in and with Inspector?

Plugins are always pre-fader, as the audio path hits the plugins and then goes into the fader.
What you'd have to do is route your audio through a fader (eg aux channel) to control the level, and then leave the fader on your output set to 0dB and meter in your plugins on that.

Level Meter Plug In -VS- Output 1/2 meter...Inconsistencies...

I'm mixing an 18 minute long recording for vinyl release. The vinyl pressing company has a minimum dbl on recordings they master and press. If the level is under, they charge hundreds of dollars more to re master and increase the volume via massive compression.
So to check and double check the overall volume in Logic Express 8, all I can find for a meter is the "Level Meter" in the visualization plug in toolbox. So I have the Level Meter "plugged" into the Output 1/2 track...The problem with the Level Meter is that it is showing levels around 8 dbl lower than the Output 1/2 meter. This could potentially be an expensive discrepancy not to mention may have a negative effect on the end product's sound quality.

If you used a meter as an insert, it comes, like other effects plugins, before the fader. Sorry, I didn't read attentively the first time.
Still, the effect is the same as pre-fader metering. The signal passes the meter before it goes to the fader. If you turn pre-fader metering on you'll see that your faders don't affect the channel strip level meters anymore and behave like inserted level meters as well.
So if you lower the fader on channel 1&2 so you no longer see clipping, how does it work?
1. Does it lower the output simply telling you that you are not clipping going out from fader 1&2?
or
2. Does it lower the input from all contributing channels so that the source coming to fader 1&2 no longer clips?

Some questions about building a plug in

Hello,
1.I'm trying to build a plug in ( for EM12c release 2 ) for my standalone java application - which exposes mbeans whom i want to collect some metrics with.
It's been a while since i started to build it - and I asked quite a lot of quesions about it - because the documnets supplied with the EDK and
the books ( ProgrammersGuide, ProgrammersReferece and the README file ) are not very clear to me ( I'm a newbie with EM in general .. )
So far some of the questions got answered and were very halpfull with this long process. BUT, there are some questions that nobody answered yet.
I'm quite "stuck" with it. I'm talking about the questions in : Re: A question about updating metadata files in plug in
I have a deadline for this plug in ( which is very close ..) so this the reason I post this new message.
I will appriciate any help about those questions .
2. Regarding the above, ( hoping to have an answered soon ..) I'm trying another way to buils this plug in:
In the README file there is this section( 3.6 : using MPCUI ) . I read the programmersReference ( chapter 8 ) and followed the instructions both in the README file and the ProgrammersReference .
For a begining, I just wanted to modify a small thing in the example supplied ( Demo Host System ) just to get started with something .
So i modify the file which contains the label ' Select member ... ' ( i don't remember the name of the file since the project is in my office , and I can't copy/paste ..- I think the the file icontians the name ' ConfirmationTarget .xml - it's one of the pages seen while adding a target ) .
I i changed it , i build the project ( using FlexBuilder) but did not use ANT as it's says in the README - the eclipse IDE build this file automatically
( HostSystem.swf in bin-debug dir as it says in the README ) . I copied this file to stage_dir/oms/metadata/mpcui .
i build a new plug in ( i incremented the version of it ) - no errors, everty thing was fine .I also copied this file to the oms server ( it wasn't there before )
and than run the commad ' emctl register oms ...' as it says in section 3.6 - and o got 'Success' eventually .
Now, when i opened the EM console , hoping to see tge change i made ( again , it's just a change of the title of the step while adding the target , and adding another menuitem to the 3 item that were alreay there ( CPU, FS, etc ) .
I believe wad i did is right- i mean changing in the right file and place ( there is no title like like this in any oter source file in the whole project )
but still, I didn't see any change! it seems execatly as it was befoer the change ..
Any idea?
Thanks.

Regarding your question #2. Please read my response here carefully as it covers a number of different issues.
1. Ant is not required to build the SWF file in your plug-in. It is an OPTION. Section 8.27 describes the different development options using either Ant or FlexBuilder.
2. You do NOT need to ever copy a SWF file to any location under the OMS runtime. You need to include it in the stage area and then either build an OPAR or use emctl to incrementally update the deployed plug-in. It has to either be deployed as part of the plug-in deployment or updated incrementally using emctl register oms metadata. Section 8.27.2.6 describes the specific steps to do this incremental update.
Steps to update the SWF associated with demo_hostsample. These are covered in the README and in chapter 8.
1. deploy the demo_hostsample plug-in as described in the README
2. create an instance of the Host Sample target type through manually discovery (Add Targets->Add Non-Host Target Specifying Properties)
3. using the demo_hostsample.zip project in Flex Builder, modify some part of the code, for example, modify the line containing label="Current Status" to label="My New Label"
4. rebuild the SWF, to be sure you can to a Clean build of the demo_hostsample project
5. ensure there is an updated copy of the HostSample.swf under demo_hostsample\mpcui\bin-debug (NOT bin-release, unless you Exported A Release Build)
6. copy that updated HostSample.swf file to the location on the OMS machine where you unzipped and built the OPAR for the demo_hostsample plug-in
7. cd to the stage/oms/metadata/mpcui directory and replace the current HostSample.swf with the one you just built (BE SURE ITS THE UPDATED FILE)
8. execute the command "emctl register oms metadata -sysman_pwd sysman -pluginId oracle.sysman.ohs -service mpcui -file demo_hostsample_uimd_swf.xml (BE SURE TO USE THE CORRECT sysman_pwd)
At this point you should be able to go to the homepage for the Host Sample target you created and see the changes.

Question about the Apache plug-in and WL server

We have a bunch of Weblogic app-servers, and I want to set up Apache servers to
front-end them. Here is what I'd like to do:
(1) Load balancer forwards requests to one of Apache servers
(2) Apache serves the static content (html,gif,css etc.)
(3) Apache servers forward the request to one of the alive Weblogic servers, with
requests for the same Weblogic session should preferably stay with the same Weblogic
server.
The catch is that we are not using Weblogic clustering - we have our own application-specific
light-weight clustering (virtually no replication of dynamic state). All I want
is that the Apache plug-ins keep forwarding the packets to the same Weblogic server
for a session (unless the server dies), and that thsi property hold even if multiple
client requests (for the same session) are rotated across multiple Apache servers.
The first is really important, the second just nice-to-have (I can setup load-balancer
with sticky sessions if needed).
The Apache plug-in documentation seems to suggest that we must use Weblogic clustering
for us to be able to specify multiple Weblogic servers in the plug-in config file,
but is that really required?
Second, does the session cookie uniquely identify the Weblogic server or does
the Apache plug-in keep the mapping between the cookie and the server? Also, does
this answer depend on whether we use Weblogic clustering or not?
The answer depends on the protocol between the Apache plug-in and the Weblogic
server. Is it documented? Available under NDA?
Your help will be really appreciated!!
thanks
-amit

is that the Apache plug-ins keep forwarding the packets to the same Weblogic
server
for a session (unless the server dies), If the session id is found in the cookie, request or postdata (in that order),
the plugin will preserve the sticky session.
and that thsi property hold even
if multiple
client requests (for the same session) are rotated across multiple Apache
servers.The rules apply to all apache instances as the single instance.
BTW, the preferred server from the session has to be in the serverList(you defined
in the httpd.conf). You are not using clusters in the backend hence the server
list will not be updated
dynamically. The plugin will not know the changes in the backend without modifying
the httpd.conf and restarted.
The first is really important, the second just nice-to-have (I can setup
load-balancer
with sticky sessions if needed).
The Apache plug-in documentation seems to suggest that we must use Weblogic
clustering
for us to be able to specify multiple Weblogic servers in the plug-in
config file,
but is that really required?
It's a recommended configuration, but not mandatory.
Second, does the session cookie uniquely identify the Weblogic server
or does
the Apache plug-in keep the mapping between the cookie and the server?The server info is in the cookie for the same client although
the plugin also maintains a list of servers.
Also, does
this answer depend on whether we use Weblogic clustering or not?
No.
The answer depends on the protocol between the Apache plug-in and the
Weblogic
server. Is it documented? Available under NDA?

Question about levels

Hi. I am enjoying myself playing with Logic Pro x. I have decided that reproducing songs is a good way to teach myself how it all works before I try something original. I am reproducing Charriots of Fire by the Royal Symphonic Orchestra at the moment. I have left the start off at the moment as it is orchestarl and you have to bring the volume in and then down again while holding a nice full strings. Can't work out hopw to do that. Any tips would be gratefull.

It's time to read about Automation
http://help.apple.com/logicpro/mac/10/#lgcpb1a1ea03
Then you can use track automation to control the volume for that track or tracks...

Question about 3rd party Plug-ins....

Is it just me or does Logic have some SERIOUS issues with 3rd party AU? For example, I can run Logic with all its own plugins and instruments just fine but the second I go to use my FM7, Novation Bass Station, or impOSCar I start experiencing bugs, crashes, etc... I have the latest drivers for these items, but they just don't seem to want to work well with Logic. Anyone else have this problem or know of a better way to use 3rd party plugins like this more safely in logic? Like maybe installing them as VST's instead of AU and putting them in a VST wrapper for Logic? It's honestly almost impossible to work with any of these devices in Logic for me without causing continual crashes!!

why to pay for software then you can have a real thing?
i pay only for hardware cos software is never good it not worth more than a few bucks. I have imposcar and vstation and they work just fine i use vstation alot never had a crash. are you sure that there are these au's for tiger?

Question about setting track level

Hi I finally got my new macbook pro and moto 8 pre and have just today tried a bit of recording just to get used to it. I am at the moment using garage band. I have a question about track levels. In Garage Band when I select a track to record there is a slider for input level or an option of clicking the automatic level control. But for some reason they are both just that color of grey you get when something can not be selected on a computer. How do I activate this? It's strange as I did actually manage to record the track, I just can't seem to really adjust the level. I thought maybe it has to do with the motu and I can only select the track level there, and that garage band level setting are (rightfully) disabled? Maybe that's what I should be doing, but just a bit confused. Anyway, thanks in advance for whoever takes the time to help out a newbie.

Ah, ok. Good to know. Thanks for the info.

Question about meta-data of Web Dynpro ABAP / Web Dynpro Java

Hello together,
everywhere I can read, that Web Dynpro meta-data is platform independent.
I´ve read into a book, that the meta-data of Web Dynpro Java is saved as XML and
that Web-Dynpro Java Runtime generates runnable classes and sourcecode out of this...
- What about Web-Dynpro ABAP? Is Meta-code in ABAP is saved in XML too?
- just for theory: is ist possible to take the meta-data of a Web-Dynpro ABAP component and
generate a Web-Dynpro Java Component out of this?
I tried to find it out but i failed... In table WDR_RR_LOAD (is this the right one?) I found only the
field data. But this is a RAWSTRING and I don´t know how to make I "readable".
I must know this for my thesis for my studies, not for work.
Thank you very much !!!!
Greetings,
Oliver

Me again,
I am not sure if I understood it right...
The meta-data which describes the visual part of a view is saved as XML and
would be rendered i.e. in the webbrowser... Right?
What about the meta-data of the Web Dynpro application?
Is this meta-code into an other structure or XML too?
Thank you very much.
Many Greetings,
Oliver

Question about using new battery in old Powerbook

I have a pre-intel Powerbook G4, and the battery is pretty much toast (lasts about 15 minutes now). I have ordered a new battery for it, and I have this question about using it:
Am I smarter to keep the new strong battery out of the PB most days (as I usually work with it plugged in at home) and just pop it in when I know I will be out surfing on batteries? Or is it just as good living in my laptop 24/7 and only occasionally being called upon to do its job?
Current bad Battery Information below:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 1144
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 1115
Amperage (mA): 0
Voltage (mV): 12387
Cycle Count: 281
thanks folks, Shereen

Hi, Shereen. Every Powerbook battery wants to be used — drained and then recharged — at least every couple of weeks. If you've always used your Powerbook on AC power nearly all the time, and not followed that pattern of discharging and recharging the battery every week or two, it's possible that your use habits have shortened the lifespan and prematurely diminished the capacity of your old battery. Of course it's also possible that your battery is merely old, as a battery's capacity also diminishes with age regardless of how it's used. You didn't say how old the battery is in years, so this may or may not be an issue. I mention it only because it can be an issue.
For general information on handling a battery for the longest possible lifespan, see this article. My advice on the basis of that article and long experience reading these forums is that it would be OK to do as you propose, but I doubt that you'd derive any significant benefit from it. You would still want to be sure of putting the new battery through a charge/discharge cycle every week or two, even if you didn't have a reason to use the Powerbook away from home or your desk, because sitting unused outside the computer is just as bad for a battery as sitting unused inside it. And you should never remove the battery from your computer when it's completely or almost completely discharged and let it sit that way any longer than a day or two.

Diagram or vi for Sound Pressure Level Meter (SPL)

Need help for implementing a Sound Pressure Level Meter (SPL) with LabVIEW 7.1 or 6.3....I must use a microfone and a laptop for my project.....Need diagram or ready vi ....!!!
How can I make an A,B,C Weighting Filter vi for my Sound Pressure Level Meter project....???
If there is one already made or you can give me any help please send it to me.......[email protected]
Thanks.....

Search the archives. A similar question about the weighting filters was posted within the past month or two, if I recall correctly. I am not aware of any ready-built VIs, but the filter specs are published (Google A-weighting).
Also be careful with the frequency response of inexpensive microphones. They can skew the results substantially if you do not have some way to measure and compenste for the response.

Confused with Logic level meter

Hi guys, could anyone help me with some piece of advice?I have a problem with track levels, my mixes are usually quiet, but my aim is to get them to the yet fatiguing but still standard very loud level. Also when mixing I can hear that the arrangement is groovy and punchy, but when I get it through Ozone or Logic mastering plug-ins it turns into a komplete mess without any definition, the waveform of the track is brushed heavily . One person said to get a loud nice master I need to watch the Logic Output fader meter for headroom about 6 or 3 dbs before zero and RMS about -9 db, the thing is I'm konfused now with the Level meter as RMS showing displays red klips , but the signal is actually lower, and I can see it, for ex. when klipping the signal is about - 15 dbs RMS, could anyone explain me the real way to get loud tracks, and what approximate settings should I stick to, as it starts getting on my nerves already cause I start to think I just can't do music..

First, try to separate the concepts of mixing and mastering. They're two entirely different processes. I'd suggest you first concentrated on getting your mix 'right' for you, and don't worry about the relative loudness until you've completed this first mixing stage. I wrote a brief blog post about this here which might help a little.
In general terms, you don't need to worry about occasional high levels on your individual tracks - only on mix bus on your stereo output, where a good peak level might be around -8 dbFS. That's the only place where you can't 'go into the red.'
Once you have your mix as good as you can get it, *regardless of volume,* then open that bounced file in a new Logic session. That's where you can experiment with Ozone, Adaptive Limiter, Multiband compression and other tools you can try.
You might want to do some further reading about mastering. Here are a few articles/forums which may help get you going:

Question about openning files using SDK 10.

I have written a Plug-In for SDK 9 that works wonderfully. One of the functions is for the user to be able to page (Next/Previous) between PDF files on our server. This functionality now longer works without crashing Acrobat 10. All I am doing is creating the URL path to the next/previous PDF, creating a CustomFileSys with the path and calling AVDocOpenFromFile.
Does this no longer work with Acrobat 10 SDK?
Thanks!

Should work fine, AFAIK.
For this level of issue, I would open a formal support request with developer support.
