Regarding levels and the wav

I'm getting satisfactory results from my recordings, but i do have a question about the relationship of the level meters and the amplitude of the wav in the track view. Not sure if my terminology is correct, but should the size or boldness of my wav matter if the meter is registering a strong input level without clipping.
Obviously if I increase my output my wav becomes larger and gets smaller as I back off the level alittle after I record.
How big or small should the wav be to achieve optimum results or does it not matter as long as my input level just hits the red without clipping.
Thanks in advance

Well yes but I'd make 2 suggestions:
1. how does it sound? If it sounds good don't worry too much about how GB represents the waveform
2. Use a metering plugin to get a measurement of loudness. I like Destroy FX' RMS Buddy (free - google it).
Also if your used to commercial loudness in music and radio - your recording won't be as loud without adding compression and limiting. That's good and bad. Good because commrecial recording tend to take loudness too far these days but bad because your's doesn't sound as loud.
Good luck

  • Planning a materail at plant level and the MRP Area

    Hi Gurus,
    Is it possible to plan the same material at the plant level and  at the MRP area level ( Storage location MRP)?. If so please provide the steps how this needs to be set-up. what will the implications on the MRP.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Inventory can be valuated at two levels either at company code level or at plant level. If you select valuation at company code level, all materials across all the plants will have same material price since valuation is at only company code level.
    Say for example Company code 1000 is buying a material which unit price is Rs. 10 from a vendor who supplies to two different plant A & B of company code 1000.  Assume Plant A is situated near vendor premises itself (so freight cost is Re 1 extra)  whereas plant B is situated at far away from vendor place (so freight cost rs 2 extra) and both cases freight cost is borne by the company and not by vendor.
    Assuming you have selected valuation at plant level, now in plant A same material will be valauted at Rs. 11 (10 +1) whereas at plant B it is valuated at Rs. 12 (10+2).
    Whereas if you have selected valuation at company code level, price will not be valuated at plant level rather at company code level which will get updated at moving average price in this case.
    So it is always best practice to select valuation at plant level rather than at company code level.

  • Regarding Alerts And the Fault Mesages

    Hi All,
    I Want to Know When We Use Alert Messages And When We Will Use Fault Messages in One Scenario.
    According to My Knowledge Fault messages were used in Sysnch Comminication.
    Used to Send the Error Messages That Occured at Receiver Side.Its Like an Acknoledgement to the Sender Form the Receiver.Used to Store the Log of the Application Error.
    Please Give me the Written Answers. Dont Forwars Any Doc's
    Regards
    Vamsi

    Hi Vamsi,
    <b>Fault messages</b>
    Fault message is an error meesage. Its like an exception in simple terms. The fault message is used to store a log for application error. Fault messages is defined in IR.
    To give an overview of Fault messages it is mostly used in synchronous communication. When an error occurs at the inbound side instead of sending the response message back it sends a fault message back to the sender system to handle error.
    Fault Message are Msg type that provided whenever u create a namespace..they are usually used to get the exception or error mapped which has occured while execution of Application at the sender/receiver end....
    <b>Alert Messages</b>
    Ususally purpose of alert are error notification. But not always.
    e.g Suppose there is a scenario: If a user has applied for a leave from one system to another, the alert should be raised for a particular interface and this should be notified to XYZ Administrator. (Just an example, may not exactly suit the real world scenario)
    Note : Triggering of alert cannot be made user specific...What u can do most is that u can configure the alert and add a particular user only in ur recipients list so that notifications can be restricted to particular user only ...
    Regards,
    Ramana Kumar. A
    Fault messages are used to propogate / send back the error message to the calling application. This is used when there is a failure and the sending system needs to know what the error was. This is more of catching Application Errors.

  • Some observations regarding passwords and the App Store

    It used to be that installing or upgrading an app, even free ones, required your inputting your AppleID. There would be a five- to ten-minute grace period during which you needn't enter it again, but afterwards you would be required to re-enter the password. Which made sense: No one wants unauthorized users to start buying up potentially expensive apps without permission.
    This is still the case with the iPhone. What's surprising is that this is no longer the case with the iPad. Recently I've noticed that after a good day or two without accessing the App Store, updating apps no longer asks for my password. Given virtually all updates are free, I'm assuming this applies to (free) updates. INSTALLING free apps may or may not require the re-entering of passwords; I don't know, I haven't tried it yet. I'm certainly hoping that password re-entry will be required with paid apps. (Cue story of kid purchasing a $100 app on mom's iPad.)
    I'm also assuming that the iPhone continues to ask for passwords -- (free) updates or not -- perhaps because as a truly mobile device, it needs to retain a bit more restrictiveness. I don't necessarily agree, since how much trouble can a free updates cause? (Unless of course you wanted to keep an older version for some reason.) As illustrated, the App Store on the iPad, at least, doesn't seem to require password re-entry anymore, at least for updates.
    Is this something anyone else has observed, or is it only my iPad that's somehow affected?

    Well, I pulled out my other iPad, and when I tried to update some apps, the App Store did require my password. So it may be this particular iPad that somehow has lost its ability to ask for my password when updating apps, or maybe even downloading paid apps. (I'm not eager to try that yet.) FWIW, this iPad also had the issue of updating apps resulting in long wait times before finally downloading; this was fixed by using "Reset All Settings" under General Settings. Perhaps the two phenomena are related? I may try erasing all settings are seeing if that fixes these nconsistencies once and for all. Let y'all know.

  • Some info regarding itunes and the way I fixed my mothers download troubles

    My mom hasn't been able to download any of her song purchases for ages. So I looked at it for her. The downloads weren't moving, and after a little, they would stop and give a 'time-out' error.
    First thing I did was port forward iTunes. For anyone interested who knows how to do this, the ports are both 3689, protocol is TCP. If you don't know how to do this, don't worry, it didn't solve the problem.
    I came to this thread after that and read about changing users from Administrator. So I tried this, but found I couldn't just switch users like you should be able to do, it was only giving me the option to log out. So I went into the user accounts page and clicked 'change the way users log on and off'. A message popped up saying "Client Services for NetWare has disabled the Welcome Screen and Fast User Switching...". So I went and searched what NetWare was. I didn't learn much about it, but learned enough to disable it. And immediately without even shutting down the computer, iTunes started working.
    So, if you're having similar troubles try this as it's quick and easy (and it worked).
    click the windows key and R to open 'Run'
    type services.msc and then press OK
    scroll down the list and see if their is process running called 'Client Services for NetWare'. If so, right click it and click stop. Then right click and click properties. In main tab, mid way down the page beside 'startup type' select 'disabled' from the drop down list.
    Let me know if this works for you.

    You might not like the way Chris answered your question but he did answer it. Without something in the album field, you're not going to see the songs where you want them to. Yes, it's different than it used to be but currently that's the way it is.
    And no, there is no way to manually sync your calendar.

  • Class cast exception when trying to get a control on the "Wave" mixer

    I am trying to get a control over the level of the Wave mixer. I can get the master, but I need a bit finer control than that. I think I have one, and it compiles, but I get a classCast exception at runtime:
    volumeSearch:
    for (int i = 0; i < mixerInfo.length; i++)
        Mixer.Info info = mixerInfo;
    mixer = AudioSystem.getMixer(info);
    System.out.println("info.getName() = " + info.getName());
    if (mixer.isLineSupported(Port.Info.SPEAKER))
    System.out.println(info.getName() + " supports a speaker");
    lineOut = (Port) mixer.getLine(Port.Info.SPEAKER);
    lineOut.open();
    Control[] controls = lineOut.getControls();
    System.out.println("Supported controls on the speaker:");

    volumeControl is declared earlier in the class as a FloatControl.

    Hey guys, thanks for replying to my post!
    Here's the rub: I am able to use the method you are describing, but it gives me control over the wrong mixer.
    On the main mixer, it gives me control over the "Master" volume, which means that in addition to the wave output, it also controls every other output simultaneously, such as the Mic output. I am trying to get control of the "Wave" output. When adjusting the Wave out, it only effects digital audio output, but leaves the analog outputs (like the Mic volume) alone.
    Now, when I call the complete method:
        private void initVolumeControl()
            Port lineOut;
            FloatControl vol;
            Mixer mixer;
            Mixer.Info[] mixerInfo = AudioSystem.getMixerInfo();
            try
                volumeSearch:
                for (int i = 0; i < mixerInfo.length; i++)
                    Mixer.Info info = mixerInfo;
    mixer = AudioSystem.getMixer(info);
    System.out.println("info.getName() = " + info.getName());
    if (mixer.isLineSupported(Port.Info.SPEAKER))
    System.out.println(info.getName() + " supports a speaker");
    lineOut = (Port) mixer.getLine(Port.Info.SPEAKER);
    lineOut.open();
    At this point, if I wanted to control the master volume, I would get the volume control over
    the main mixer here
    by calling
    vol = (FloatControl) lineOut.getControl(FloatControl.Type.VOLUME);
    But the problem is that gives me control over the main, and not the wave volume.
    So, on the "lineOut", let's query it for all of the different controls available
    Control[] controls = lineOut.getControls();
    System.out.println("Supported controls on the speaker:");
    for (int j = 0; j < controls.length; j++)
    Control control = controls[j];
    System.out.println("\tcontrol.toString() = " + control.toString());
    System.out.println("\tcontrol.getType() = " + control.getType());
    if (control.getType().toString().contains("Wave") || control.getType().toString().contains("WAVE") || control.getType().toString().contains("wave"))
    volumeControl = (FloatControl)control;
    break volumeSearch;
    } catch (Exception e)
    System.err.println("There was an error while trying to get a volume control");
    e.printStackTrace();
    And my output from this is:info.getName() = Primary Sound Driver
    info.getName() = Realtek HD Audio output
    info.getName() = Primary Sound Capture Driver
    info.getName() = Realtek HD Audio Input
    info.getName() = Java Sound Audio Engine
    info.getName() = Port Realtek HD Audio output
    Port Realtek HD Audio output supports a speaker
    Speaker volume = 0.5000076
    Supported controls on the speaker:
    control.toString() = Volume with current value: 0.5000076 (range: 0.0 - 1.0)
    control.getType() = Volume
    control.toString() = Balance with current value: 3.0517345E-5 (range: -1.0 - 1.0)
    control.getType() = Balance
    control.toString() = Mute Control with current value: false
    control.getType() = Mute
    control.toString() = Wave Control containing Volume, Balance, and Mute Controls.
    control.getType() = Wave
    but I also get the exception:There was an error while trying to get a volume control
    java.lang.ClassCastException: com.sun.media.sound.PortMixer$CompCtrl
    at audiotools.AudioPlayer.initVolumeControl(AudioPlayer.java:236)
    at audiotools.AudioPlayer.<init>(AudioPlayer.java:102)
    at audiotools.AudioPlayer.getInstance(AudioPlayer.java:59)
    at gui.windowmanager.WindowManager.run(WindowManager.java:208)
    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595)
    So, as you can see, when I query the line that supports SPEAKER, it says it has an additional item (Mixer? Line?) called "Wave Control" that also has it's own Volume, Balance and Mute controls.
    I need to get the Volume control associated with the "Wave", not the one associated with the "Master". The Master provides too general of a control on the system mixer.

    NODEID -  4 digit internal number of the hierarchy
    These are the Keys that identifies the hierarchy uniquely in my case the 1st hierarchy.
    Now if you want to find the nodes then based on the example above I will take the hierarchy id ie 434FLR9O6DX0XXJS3CLIYZODD for the field HIEID that would give me all the nodes of this hierarchy
    Note: the HIEID for a particular hierarchy can be found from the HEADER info
    Thanks,

  • How to add Navigation Level to the Portal?

    Hi All,
    How to add Navigation Level to the Portal?
    for example:
    1st Level is the Role
    2nd Level is Worksets/Folders
    I want that the 3rd Level will contain more Worksets/Folders and will be under the 2nd level and not in the "Detailed Navigation".
    I tried to change the "Number of display levels" in the framework page but it didn't help.
    Attached a picture with the required result (of course, for my roles)

    Thanks, Omri

    Hi Omri,
    in fact, almost one year ago we did something similar on a project basis, but as already stated here, this was done by modification. What we did was providing a dropdown box within the masthead, containing the first level, and the second and third level now have been displayed where normally the first and second level are. That was a ten days solutions, some very fine granulated work. But nice
    Anyhow, nowadays this can be more easy using the LightFrameworkPage (if that's OK for your purpose) and the Navigation Tag Library, see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/42/f35146a7203255e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm for details.
    Hope it helps

  • Delivery address at Item Level and not at the Header Level

    Hello Experts,
    We are facing an issue as described below:-
    We are in SRM 7.0 using classic scenario.
    After approval of multi line Shopping Cart in SRM ,PR's are getting
    automatically created in backend R/3 system.After converting PR's into
    POs in backend R/3,we are observing that the delivery address for these
    PO'are getting printed at Item level and not at the Header Level
    inspite of the delivery address being same for all the Item level.
    As desired,the delivery address in the PO's should have the delivery
    address at the header level if the the delivery address is identical
    for all the Item Levels.
    However,if we create a PR directly in R/3 system and then convert these
    PR's into PO's in the backend R/3 system,we find that the deliver
    address are getting printed at the Header Level if the delivery address
    is same for all the item level(which is as desired)
    Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,
    RKS

    It is standard process only.
    In Po delivery address is maintained at item level because to which address perticular material to be delivered,
    this may change from material to material or may not change

  • How can I have the pricing conditions at the item and header level of the d

    How can I have the pricing conditions at the item and header level of the delivery? There exist "condition" tabs both the header and the item level of the delivery but the contents of the tabs are empty. I'll be happy if you can help me. Thanks in advance....

    Hi
    If you want to have the pricing procedure at delivery level then you need to assign a pricing procedure at delivery level also
    Just go through the path to maintain the pricing procedure at delivery level.
    IMG -> Logistics execution -> Shipping -> Basic Shipping Functions -> Pricing -> Pricing Procedure. for Delivery.
    But can you be more clear if the above one is not your query ?

  • Max stock level and reorder point for all the materials

    Dear experts,
    Is there any standard mm report that will give the details of max stock level and reorder point details for all the materials?

    Your requirement can be pulled from table MARC. I dont think there is a standard report to meet your requirement. You can meet your requirement through SAP Query though.

  • Information Regarding Essbase Security Except Filter Level and User Level

    I have an requirement to implement data level security in Essbase. For ex: A user can only see those data which are from Asia region or an user will be able to see those data which are from America.
    Asia and America are defined in my location dimension.
    can any one explain about it without using user Level Security and Filter level security.
    Please tell me how to do it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Sandeep's reference the DBAG and the section on filters is the right direction. The filter is created in EAS.
    Let's use an example.
    You create a METAREAD filter (that is, it filters both data and dimensionality) that gives a user limited access to the Location dimension (I think I have that right), e.g., the British Isles, the UK and Ireland. You can also create a READ filter but it only limits data and, in my opinion at least, causes confusion because users can see metadata (the whole world) but only see data for the British Isles.
    NB -- filters can be assigned to individual usernames or to groups that users are members of. For a POC, I'd keep it simple and just assign it to a username, but it's your choice.
    Assign the filter to the user in Shared Services.
    Try connecting to the database in Excel through the Classic Add-In or SmartView to test what the user sees -- it should be: Total Location, British Isles, the UK, and Ireland. You will see Total Location (top of the dimension) because that's how Essbase navigates down -- it has to have the dimension name to find the limited children. You won't see any data there. But you will see data at the Location members that the METAREAD filter allows.
    That's it -- it's been around since the year dot, and is the way access is restricted. You shouldn't need to reinvent the wheel to get this to work in OBIEE. Essbase should do the work.
