Reducing volume of actor in the background

Over the weekend I filmed a sketch with two actors. The recording was done with two lav mics; one a Rode and one a cheapo one. The actors were sat fairly close to eachother and the cheapo mic has picked up the other actor's voice a bit too much, causing reverb when I put the two tracks together (which are definitely in sync).
How can I reduce the other actor's volume in the track from the cheapo mic without much affecting the volume of the actor that it's supposed to be recording? I have Audacity and Adobe Audition.
Note: Fading the track in and out might not be an option as it carries a fair bit of other background noise, which would make the fades distracting.

Lol! He means atmos as in "atmosphere". I'm going to steal that typo though and start calling all atmos "atoms".
Typing aside though, the advice is spot on. Only have one mic at a time turned up and cover the transitions with a loop of ATMOSPHERE.
Or ATOMSphere!

However, when i lower it, my safari tab goes out of the screen. What do you guys think i should do? I'm getting very nervous.

hey HAbrakian!
You may want to try using the information in this article to adjust the behavior of your function keys to see if that resolves the behavior:

Cannot answer that question. That is a decision made by Apple.

If there was a profile app available in the app store that allowed me to automatically set different volume levels at different times of the day it would be great - particularly if the app didn't require me to jailbreak the phone.
There would not be an app like that, as they would not have access to the API. You can provide feedback to Apple if you would like to see this enhancement at http://www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

Good evening, How can I check if there are downloaling programs running in the background while using an IPod. I want to eliminate them because my internet dowload volume has increased dramatically.

How can I check if I have a software(s) installed on my Ipod touch (4th generation) that download information all the time in the background? My internet downlaod consumption has increased dramatically lately and I cannot solve the problem. An online support person from my internet provider suggested to check that out.
Thanks for your¸help.

HI northangel,
you can press the home button double times and the bottom of the screen and it will show apps that are running in the backround.

How can I reduce the background music from a song when I'm trying to make a mashup in Garageband?

I'm creating a mashup between two songs (Titanium and Starships). Everything seems fine: I just need to cut out the background music for the Starships song. Does anybody know how to? Thanks!!

Extract the audio from the movie with either Quicktime Pro, iMovie or a 3rd party audio editor like Amadeus Pro and use it as the menu's audio.

Does the sound of your caller get reduced when you speak at the same time?

Hi everyone,
I'm noticing some strange behaviour of my iPhone 3G's audio on the O2 network here in the UK. Both O2 & the iPhone are new to me so I don't know which is the cause, but was wondering if anyone else has experienced this 'problem'? What happens is this:
When I'm on a call with my ear to the iPhone's earpiece (or using headphones) & I speak whilst the caller is speaking (or let's say I'm chatting to my wife in the same room as me whilst I'm listening to 'hold music'), I've noticed that *the volume & call-quality of the incoming line is often reduced*.
Initally this might not seem a problem, BUT, there have definitely been a view times when I've been in a noisy environment (such as street traffic, or my kids shouting & playing in the background) where I've missed things that the caller told me. In both these situations, I've noticed that the caller's voice has got quieter, sounded 'grainy' or even sometimes gone totally quiet until the sound from me (or my environment) has stopped. The 'problem' seems to right itself a minute or so of the call, but that's little consolation to the first 60 seconds of the call!
It's most noticeable on headphones by the way; As a test, I plugged in regular headphones to my iPhone (i.e. not the iPhone IEMs with the mic), called a landline phone-line with a pre-recorded message, then spoke into the iPhone's built-in microphone. Every time I did this, the incoming audio signal was 'turned down' &/or sounded gritty, then returns to normal when I (or my background noise) went quiet.
I don't think this is a fault with my phone. but more either an iPhone 3G hardware 'characteristic', v2 software bug, or network issue. (O2 said they've never heard of this before of course...)
If anyone else has the time to try this out please, I'd appreciate it
Thanks,
Jason

Hi Quickdraw,
Thanks for your reply.
I don't know this for sure, but I think it has EVERYTHING to do with bandwidth.
Yes, that makes a lot of sense... I was making calls on 2G/Edge at the time of my 'tests' rather than 3G, partly due to battery-saving but also that 2G still has much better coverage over here (just as you guys in the States seem to be experiencing).
I've done some more tryouts today, & noticed that if the 2G signal is really strong, OR if I switch to 3G & have a reasonable-to-good reception, the 'incoming-signal-dropping-out-when-I-talk' doesn't happen much at all...
So, the bandwidth thing does make sense, but it's interesting/annoying that it manifests itself as "one good-quality voice OR the other", rather than "full-duplex-but-not-so-great-for-both-voices" sound...
If anyone in the UK can feed back their experience with O2, I'd appreciate it please. (I never had this issue in the 10 years I was with Orange..)
Cheers,
Jason

Delta Report (/sapapo/ccr) in the background

Hi Gurus,
Is it possible to execute /sapapo/ccr in the background which also includes automatically executing iteration in the background?
I tried scheduling a job with /sapapo/cif_deltareport3 in the background, but it seems what it does is to only compare the data between the two systems. Is there a way that the iteration of the inconsistencies also be done in the background?
Thanks in advance!

Sabado,
Unfortunately, iteration is only done during display.
You can set the iteration indicator for a batch run, but that only means that the re-compare will be done when you call up the results for review.
It sounds like you are asking if the program can be made to re-compare the results an additional time, before saving. The standard program will not do this.
You can set the iteration flag in batch and save the results. When you then call up the results later, for review and action, this will have the effect that the iteration will be performed immediately prior to displaying the results. Typically, then, less errors will be displayed for your users to resolve. Time lag is typically insignificant.
The volume of temporary inconsistancies can be reduced by executing the reconciliation report during the periods of least data transfers between APO and its connected systems. Under these conditions, the requirement for iteration is reduced or eliminated.

References are becoming invalid when passed to an actor using the Actor Framework

I have having an issue with passing a couple of references to an actor using the actor framework 3.0.7 (LabVIEW 2011 & TestStand 2010 SP1).
Some background:
My application has three main components:
Main VI -- is not part of any class and Launches UI Actor.
UI Actor -- Launches the teststand actor
TestStand Actor -- Initializes and starts teststand.
The two references showing similar behavior (invalid reference) are the TestStand App Manager control and the "Current VI's Menubar" reference. The App Mgr control is on the front panel of the UI Actor's Actor Core.vi. The menubar reference is retrieved in the block diagram of the UI Actor's Actor Core.vi
Now,
When I run the Main VI I get an error in the TestStand Actor's Actor Core.vi (Remember Main VI launches UI Actor launches TestStand Actor) because the App Mgr and menubar references are invalid (. I have checked and verified that in this scenario the references are valid in the UI Actor before it launches the teststand actor.
If I run the UI Actor's Actor Core.vi stand alone (i.e. run it top level) the App Mgr and menubar references are passed to the teststand actor, no error occurs, and the code functions as expected.
Why would these references be invalid by simply starting a different top level VI? Could it have something to do with when the references are passed vs. when the front panel is loaded into memory?
I tried putting the App Mgr control on the front panel of the Main VI and passing it to the UI Actor and then to the TestStand Actor. This works....
Anyone have any experience or knowledge to why this is occurring?

Generally, references in LV are "owned" by the hierarchy they are first created in, and the hierarchy is determined by the top level VI. Once the hierarchy goes idle or out of memory, the references created by that hierarchy are automatically closed. That's usually what causes something like this - the reference is created in one hierarchy (let's say the main VI hierarchy) and then that hierarchy stops running.
I don't know the AF well enough to say if that's really the case (I actually thought that it always launches a separate top level dynamic process, which I assumed is where the UI actor's core VI would always be called), but that might help explain it. If not, you might wish to post to the AF group in the communities section.

How can I get my renders to work in the background?

Hi,
I installed After Effects pretty much without changing anything, so the settings are more or less default.
I'm using a Macbook Pro with OS 10.6.8 and After Effects CS6
I have enabled media and disk cache, max disc cache is at 100GB and I have an external drive (with 900GB spare) as the volume selected beneath that option. My internal SSD has not much spare on it. I previously had the internal SSD as the disc cache and still had this same problem.
My project is 1920 x 1080 25fps - And I'm trying to render to Quicktime. I've tried rendering to stills and then outputting to Quicktime (so as to have less computational effort), then running them through but the same problem persists.
If After Effects is the application in focus the project renders fine.
If After Effects is not the application in focus - ie. I work with it rendering in the background, the 'FINISHED' sound plays and the render is cut short a short while after I started working in another program.
The project render time is about an hour, so it's not really convenient.
I've googled extensively and posted this here before and no solution.
Please help.
Toby
ps. ADOBE: Don't mean to be rude, but is there some fix for this text entry box where the cursor randomly jumps to a previous line? - still broken guys!

Hi Todd,
Thanks, I've now installed the updates. Unfortunately the problem persists and furthermore, AME does not go the distance with rendering the full project, dropping the process after around the 5-8% mark (on first and second try).
I can render the project successfully if AE is left unattended in the 'foreground'
Please find attached screengrabs of my system profile and current AE settings (Disk and Cache settings were changed recently from having 100GB disk cache on external USB3 drive - still same behaviour).
I notice there is no error log produced from AE as it seems to think the render is successfully completed. Please advise if I can produce a log to help troubleshoot this problem, as it seems AME does not provide a workaround.
Thanks in advance.

How do I turn OFF music playing in the background?

I recently put some favorite music selections on my IPod touch (5th gen), I have had this device for over three quarters of a year, but I use it mostly for email, addresses, and mail, so I haven't explored many of the other things on the IPod. However, I wanted to use the bluetooth capabilities on the IPod to play on my audio in my new car, but I find now that the music is playing constantly in the background all the time. I think it's wasting the battery space. How do I get it to shut off?

Go to the Music app and find the playing song and tap on the pause button. You can also double click on the Home button and swipe the bottom row fully to the right to get to the Music controls. Tap the pause button.
What is happening is that when you go away from the BT on your car the iPod continues to play the music using the speaker which you seem to have set very low in volume.

How do i make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to put the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. Any help?

How do I make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to convert the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. On windows movie maker you could just select "fit to music" but this program isnt as easy to figure out! Any help?

Double-click on the still image in the project timeline to open the Inspector. In the Inspector, adjust the duration by typing in a new duration to match the length of your music. I think the limit for a still image is 10 minutes. If you need more than this, simply drag the image into the timeline again then adjust its duration. The two images will play seamlessly (no gap will be visible).
See this iMovie Help topic:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
You can achieve more precision when entering durations by changing a preference in the menu item iMovie Preferences. Check (tick) the preference for Show Time As HH:MM:SS:frames. This will enable you to enter the duration of stills down to the frame level, rather than full seconds (NTSC is 30 frames per second; PAL is 25 fps). When entering times, type a colon between each time segment, such as 2:50:15, which represents 2 minutes 50 seconds and 15 frames. For 5 seconds 20 frames you would enter 5:20 and so forth.
Note that the music will only run to the length of the video in the timeline (in your case, the still images). So, after increasing the stills duration you will need to drag the end of the music track as far as required. The stills can be dragged inwards to reduce the duration if necessary.

Applications running in the background

Does anyone know if there is a way to see which appplications are running in the background? My battery keeps discharging at a faster rate than normal and I assume I have left an application running (without menu-close) and that it is causing the battery drain.
Thanks

I have imported a color picture and trying to use the adjustment brush to turn the background black and white and it isn't working. I have Lightroom 5. Any suggestions?

Hello - I have Lightroom 5. I have imported a color photo. I am trying to use the Adjustment Brush to change the background to Black and White and leave a portion of the photo in color. When I begin painting the photo with the Saturation at -100 I don't see any changes to the photo. I push the "O" key and still nothing. I have tried to reset the photo, restarted Lightroom and still nothing. Please help.
