Quick question about recorded waveforms

I have been recording a lot of guitar lately and seem to be doing everything right in terms of levels and gain-staging. However, the recorded waveform seem to be very "thin"--or, it dosn't seem to take up much space in the arrange window. Is this normal, or should the recorded waveform be "fatter" and take up more space vertically? Does anyone have a picure of a normal recorded file in Logic? Thanks for the help.

They can look very different, depending on the source.
Here are examples:

All depending on the part/performance you could have any of these results.
What you want to be aware of is the input level in LP. Experiment with your equipments output levels, until you are hitting the input at a desired level. There are many threads and opinions here on what that level should be.

  • Really quick question about recording.

    My mate has just bought the same capture card as me, I use a new recording in Quicktime to grab footage on OSX. He want's to do the same but on Windows XP.
    Will he be able to to record with Quicktime Pro - Windows version?
    Cheers

    Hi, I am the person this thread is about. I went onto Apple's website and this is what it says-
    "*QuickTime 7 Pro for Windows*
    Now, you can easily create movies for iPod, *capture movies in a single click*, share movies via email or .Mac, create stunning H.264 video and much more. Purchase now to receive your QuickTime 7 Pro registration code instantly via email."
    Are you sure you can't capture video? If not, I hope Apple will give me a refund due to false advertising.

  • Quick Question about recording

    I want to record for a long time, i want to spy on my dogs and see what they do during the day, but how do i record for a long time is that possible? What programs do i use? Photobooth or something else. If you could please let me know that would be great. Thanks!

    Your best bet is an external security camera package. I have seen a few out there that are Mac compatible. Google it.

  • A quick question about WebDynpro SLD and R/3 with concurrent users

    Hello ,
    I have a very quick question about Webdynpros and SLD connecting to an R/3 system, when you configure a webdynpro to connect to an R/3 system using SLD, you configure a user name and password from the R/3  for the SLD to use. What I would like to know is when I have concurrent users of my webdynpro, how can I know what one user did in R/3 and what another user did? Is there a way for the users of the web dynpro to use their R/3 credentials so SLD can access the R/3? Like dynamically configuring the SLD for each user?
    - I would like to avoid leaving their their passwords open in the code ( configuring two variable to get the users username and password and use these variables as JCO username and password )
    Thanks Ubergeeks,
    Guy

    Hi Guy
    You will have to use Single Sign On to achieve this. In the destination you have defined to connect to R/3 , there is an option to 'useSSO' instead of userid and password. This will ensure that calls to R/3 will be with the userid that has logged into WAS. You wont need to pass any passwords because  a login ticket is generated from WAS and passed on to R/3. The userid is derived from this ticket.
    For this to happen you will have to maintain a trust relation ship between R/3 and your WAS ,there is detailed documentation of this in help files. Configuration is very straight forward and is easy to perform
    Regards

  • QUICK QUESTION ABOUT PORTS

    Hi, I have a quick question about port forwarding/mapping. My question, lets say I am running MSN messenger, who's ports are 6880-6900. But lets say I am running a torrent application or something else that requires those ports. If both applications were running at the same time, would this cause interference with them on the same ports or now. Thanks
    Nathan

    Normally, only one application can listen to a specific port number at a time. If MSN is grabbing those 21 ports then your torrent app won't be able to run.
    However, most apps don't work that way - even if they use multiple ports, they don't use them all at the same time, so MSN might use 6880 when it starts up, leaving the others open for other applications to use if needed.
    Only experimentation will answer that one.

  • Hi, I have quick question about use of USEBEAN tag in SP2. When I specify a scope of SESSION for the java bean, it does not keep the values that I set for variable in the bean persistent.Thanks,Sonny

     

    Make sure that your bean is implementing the serializable interface and that
    you are accessing the bean from the session with the same name.

  • Quick Question about Cisco 3560 and the Web Device Manager

    Alright, I have a quick question that I am curious about but I haven't found any information
    about it.
    When I log into my Cisco 3560 using the web portal to get to the Device Manager. Below the
    diagram of the switch, then under the Dashboard there is section called Switch
    Health, Port Utilization.
    Under the Switch Health there is Bandwidth Used, Packet Error. Those two options just sit
    at zero and do not move. The Port tilization graph is also sitting at zero.
    Is there a way to make them functional?

    Anyone notice performance increase or decrease of their HD when using the nVidia IDE SW drivers?  particularly with a 74GB Raptor?  I've also heard of burner issues when installing the IDE SW but have not used my burner yet.

  • IMovie - quick questions about video files when importing and optimizing

    Hi, have some quick questions. I think they are simple.
    1. When I import a video (from say iPhoto), where does it get "Move" or "Copy" to?
    2. Why would I want to do "Copy" instead of "Move", because isn't it then taking up more space?
    3. I'm wondering if after I optimize a video, I can stash away the original (non-optimized video that I either "Move"d or "Copy"d earlier) into an external hd.
    4. By the way, what is the new file name of the optimized video?
    Though things are working fine in iMovie and iPhoto, I'm trying to manage hard disk space, and hope answers to these questions will help.
    Do you guys have a guideline on how to manage hard disk space when it comes to iphoto and imovie?
    Thanks.

    As has been suggested you can encourage people to download QuickTime player by doing something like this...
    http://www.mirroroftheuniverse.com/Songs.html
    You can also present your songs like this...
    http://roddymckay.com/Satellite/JukeBox.html
    This is a SnoCap jukebox and you need an account to use it but you'll get the link to ESnips on the above page.
    A 3 minute song has a file size of about 30 Mb in AIFF format. Converting it to MP3 reduces it to about 3.5 Mb and M4A to about 5.5 Mb.
    iTunes will do these conversions for you and M4A is far superior to MP3 as far as sound quality is concerned.

  • Planning for Macbook (pro?) Questions about recording audio + multitasking

    Hi Everyone
    I am seriously contemplating switching to a Mac book (Pro?) in the next few months, and I want to clarify issues about recording audio.
    I record music and other stuff at our local church using a mixer and feed stereo straight into a pc which records using the excellent Adobe Audition (... well it works for me  :-)
    To start with I expect I'll be using GarageBand and later look at other solutions such as ProTools I used to use on the PC.
    QUESTION
    I would welcome experienced users to comment on how well GrageBand or similar can multi task while recording is taking place. In other words what can I do - Not do, while recording.
    Be honest please.
    I worry I might get an exagerated reply from an Apple evangelist and I'm not seeking perfection, just knowledge of practical experiences.
    I'd like an idea of what limits present users have found running recording apps like Garageband or similar.
    As an example :  what experiences running large wordprocessing application or Internet (e.g. FTP or Safari) while recording?
    Replies appreciated
    Pete

    If it's an important recording or a once-only opportunity to record something then I would seriously advise against multi-tasking on any computer, PC or Mac, whilst recording.  Dedicate all processing power to capturing the recording, and if you want to browse the web/update your resumé whilst recording then use another computer!

  • Two quick questions about Library after moving beginning on a new computer

    Hi there,
    I just moved from Windows to Mac, meaning I had to move my iTunes library from the old PC to my new MBA.
    Just a couple of quick questions.
    1. When I started iTunes on my new Mac, in the preferences I directed the media folder to the folder with all my itunes music/podcasts etc, and then I imported the Library XML file.  Is this incorrect? Should I have imported a different file? Should I have used the itl file instead? 
    If so, should I delete the library and start again?  (if this is the case, please suggest the best way of doing this without affecting my media)
    - a kind of sub-question to this one:  some of the media files arent showing up in the iTunes library, but they are in the media folder on the ext HDD.  Is there a way I can find out which ones havent been recognized by iTunes?  Whats the best way of getting them in to my library?
    2. Pretty much half of my podcasts have not been loaded in the new iTunes.  The ones that havent were ones that I subscribed to on my iPhone, whereas the ones that show up in iTunes were ones I downloaded from iTunes.  When I connect my iPhone and sync it with iTunes, will those podcasts show up in iTunes?  Or is there a risk that they will be deleted from my iPhone?
    Cheers,

    The .xml is lacking some information such as ratings, date added, and play count.  Using the .itl includes this information but cannot be imported using the method you did.
    A complete library is everything in the iTunes folder.  By using the method you did you left the artwork behind in the artwork folder on the other machine.
    Selecting the media folder in preferences does not get iTunes to recognize the media.  All it does is tell iTunes to start storing new media in that location.
    Using the method I outlined nothing will be missed (with the exception of WMA) because you aren't rebuilding your library, you are using the one that already exists.
    You don't have to re-copy everything as long as you get the stuff you missed and re-assemble it all as it was before except not on the Mac.

  • Quick question about Quicktime media keys.......

    I had a question about encoding video and media keys. It seems to me that the only codec that allows you to encode it with a media key is Sorenson (Sorenson 3 I think). Why are they the only ones that are enabling that in their codecs? Is it kind of a dying technology or practice? I've experimented with Sorenson 3 and Sorenson Squeeze trials and, even though it looks ok, it simply doesn't stack up to others like Apple's H.264 or open-source x264 or even Xvid. I guess I wish there were a way to be able to use media key options with all the new H.264 codecs. Is it possible to do that, either with Xcode or AppleScript? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    QuickTime has supported 'media keys" since version 3 but you can only add them using the third party software.
    You would be better served by contacting Sorenson and asking them about their support for newer codecs.

  • Quick Question about fade effect

    Quick Question:
    If I wanted to add a Fade Effect from one state to another
    when a button is pressed.
    How would I do that within the code?

    fader...;
    fader.play();
    or listen for currentStateChanging event and write the same
    similar code.
    or define transitions from one state to another like:
    <mx:Transition id="toOneOnly" fromState="*"
    toState="OneOnly">
    <mx:Sequence id="t1" targets="{[p2]}">
    <mx:Iris showTarget="false" duration="350"/>

    <mx:SetPropertyAction target="{p2}"
    name="includeInLayout"/>
    </mx:Sequence>
    </mx:Transition>
    Hey,
    I would like to use the "transition from one state to
    another", but if you can explain each part for me that would be
    helpful.
    If you can comment on each line of that code that would help
    thanks

  • Quick question about showing drive space

    Hi,
    Just got a quick query about showing remaining drive space on the desktop.
    Before I wiped my Pismo and reinstalled Tiger (bad kernel panic), my hard drive and any other connected drives (pen drive, iPod, iDisk, etc) showed up on my Desktop with the name and drive capacity and remaining space underneath the icon.
    Now I've reinstalled, the drive capacity and remaining space don't show up on the Desktop, and I can't find how to turn it on. I've been through Preferences several times and can't find an obvious switch. Have I missed something? I'm running Tiger 10.4.8 with the machine spec below.
    Thanks in advance,

    Sometimes, for no obvious reason, the Finder can be slow to update. And sometimes it updates instantly. Why? "Only the Shadow knows...." or maybe the Apple programmers.

  • Quick question about sim transfer

    Hi all,
    I have a quick question and hopefully one of you guys would be able to help me. My friend purchased his 3g iphone today and hes giving me his old iphone. I currently have a blackjack and I wanted to take the sims card from the blackjack and put into the original iphone. Will the iphone work with my sims card? It is an older sims card, says 64k on it. If not, would I have to bring it into at&t and get it activated w/a different sims card? Hopefully all this isnt confusing. Thanks for any help. Cheers!

    You're welcome.
    I guess that also means I would have to upgrade to the 20 dollar data plan without the text messages as well?
    The unlimited data plan for the first generation iPhone still costs $20/mo and includes 200 SMS. The only thing you need to get from an at&t store is a new SIM card. Take the iPhone with you telling them what you plan on doing and they should give you a new SIM card at no cost.
    You will activate this iPhone with iTunes on your computer. If you are an existing subscriber, your calling plan will transfer to the iPhone, and any existing data plan you are using with your current phone will be cancelled. If you are an existing subscriber, your only selection will be the $20/mo unlimited data plan which includes 200 SMS, and you can select 1,500 SMS for an additional $10/mo or have unlimited SMS for an additional $20/mo.

  • Quick question about iMovie

    I have a question about iMovie. I've used Final Cut Pro before using iMovie, and FCP allowed the user to play two video/images on top of each other. You could play with the opacity and the duration very easily.
    I'm wondering, can you do the same thing with iMovie? I'll be VERY disappointed if you can't do it.
    iBook G4

    Hi
    And You could take a look at the plug-ins to iMovie.
    - Stupendous software http://www.stupendous-software.com
    - GeeThree http://www.geethree.com
    - cf/x. http://www.imovieplugins.com
    and possibly more.
    QT-pro can do this as said above - but You need to be very precise.
    But I would do this in FCP and then export as QT.mov to do the rest in iMovie
    if necessary.
