Setting playback level

Even though I check the box in playback that says something like 'set songs to same level' (I know that's the wrong wording but I'm not in front of the mac at the moment) it doesn't do it.
The volume on some songs is still much louder and some I can hardly hear. I can select songs and look at the volume levels and they are different. It doesn't make any difference whether I have the box checked or not!
Help?!

You could always manually increase the volume of the tracks that are too quiet (or decrease the volume of the ones that are too loud). Crtl + click on a track and chose "Get info" (or just command + i) and then chose "Options" and adjust the volume. Time consuming I know, but it actually works better than getting the computer to do it.
And remember, some songs are supposed to be quieter than others!

BUG: Software monitoring and playback levels

Have you ever thought your headphone monitoring level jumped up or down, for no apparent reason ? I think I may have found out why... try this:
1) Turn ON Software Monitoring. Independent Monitoring Level can be on or off, it doesn't matter. Take an audio track with active regions on it, arm that track for recording, and press play. Move the record fader up and down--it will adjust the level of the playback audio. All is good. Move this fader down around -20dB, so you can hear the track, but it's quiet.
2) Now, stop the transport, turn OFF Software Monitoring, and press play again. The track's playback level has not changed, which is fine. Move the record fader up and down--it doesn't do anything. Would be nice if that fader controlled the playback volume, but that's more of a feature request. Here comes the real bug...
3) Take the track out of record, then put it back in record. Press play: BOOM!, your playback level on that track has now jumped to 0dB. And there's no way to change it--regardless of the level set by the record and play faders, you're now monitoring at 0dB.
4) Turn ON Software Monitoring, and everything goes back to normal--the playback volume jumps back to the setting of the record fader. Now, turn OFF Software Monitoring, and your monitoring level will stay where you just put it UNTIL you take the track out of record. Next time you re-arm the track, it will jump back to 0dB.
Very weird, eh ?
As best I can tell, when Software Monitoring is OFF, the only way to change your playback monitoring level (for a track armed for recording--using auto-punch, etc.) is to turn Software Monitoring ON, then back OFF again. That will set your level to whatever the fader is showing. But once you take the track out of record, the level resets back to 0dB.
Assuming this isn't some bizarre corruption of my system, maybe we could get Apple's attention to fix this ?
And I think there may also be a related bug where the live input monitoring level jumps (regardless of visible fader position) while Software Monitoring is ON, but I can't reproduce it. Just thinking I've experienced that from time to time, too, and it's such a similar problem to this one...

This happens to me on a fairly regular basis. In my case, the input volume is always LOWER than the fader position.
I will be, say, recording an electric guitar part. Software monitoring on (I monitor thru Logic). The fader is at 0dB, and the guitar on input is a bit loud in the mix, but good for overdubbing a part. After a few passes, the level on input, or even while in record, will drop a good 3 or 4 dB. Hit stop, hit play, and the playback volume is loud again. Go into record, and it drops... the fader was never touched.
This is isn't every time I record, but common enough to not surprise me... It's definitely a bug

How to Set Input Levels with FirePod and GarageBand

Hello ....
I/ve got Garageband and my Firepod 8 channel interface working ... but I need some tips .. especially on the relationship of input levels between my Firepod and Garageband ....
When I am setting input levels for a recording ... where should the input level be on the track in Garageband? .... Is that volume setting only for playback and mixing? .... or is it for the input as well ...
Thank you ....

Where should the initial input levels be set? ... Would you use the loudest
part of the song to do this? ...
Yes, as loud as possible without lighting the FP's clip leds.
When I mix the final product ... and change the volumes on the different
tracks.. aren't you then changing the input levels?
No, you're changing the output levels.
can't you red line and overload the track?
Yes, that's why each track has a fader, so that you don't clip.
Is there a master ouput level indicator
Yes, right over the Master Volume slider.
I guess you can't just put each track as loud as you want ... correct?
As loud as you want without clipping.
I would strongly suggest doing some web searches on "Mixing and Mastering" to learn more about how to mix, there's a TON of info floating around the web.

Help on Setting logical Levels in Fact tables and on Dimension tables

Hi all
Can any body provide any blogs or any king of material on what exactly is levelling .
Like after creating the Dimensional hierarchies we need to set the logical levels for the LTS of fact tabels ri8 .So what is the difference between setting logical levels to fact tabels and also Setting levelling on Dimension tables .
Any kind of help is appreciated
Thanks
Xavier.

I have read these blogs ,but what my question is
Setting the logical levels in LTS of Fact tables i understood .
But we can also set the logical levels for dimensions also ri8 .I didn't understand why do we set the logical levels for dimensions .Is there any reason why we go with the levelling at dimensions

CS5 Playback Settings grayed out and no longer can set playback on external monitor.

I like to view my projects while editing on an external monitor but the Playback Settings are grayed out. I've done all my prior projects with external monitor display enabled with no problems and can go back to a prior projects completed and view them using an external playback monitor. For some reason, the Playback Settings on my latest project are grayed out and I'm not able to set Desktop Video Display During Playback.
The last project worked on was about 3 months ago. Last week, I started working on two new projects and noticed that I wasn't able to set playback to my external monitor. All my devices are hooked up and I can review older projects on the external monitor but can't set two new projects to use display on the external monitor.
Anyone have any ideas?
Problem solved. My fault.
The Sequence Preset Settings selected must support the device the external monitor is connected to. In my case, IEEE 1394 firewire. I corrected the new project to the correct Sequence Settings and can now view playback on the external monitor.

"The Desktop Video 9.7.5 software update allows users to take advantage of many new features in the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop applications such as powerful new editing timelines and shortcuts and audio mixing with Adobe Premiere Pro® CC and new creative and visual effects tools with Adobe After Effects® CC."
So everything should be covered on that front. And as I listed, I was getting playback out of AE CC, so I feel it is solely an issue in Premiere. That was worth checking out though since CC is so new. Thanks for replying.

Setting Item level access rights on sharepoint list item in ItemAdding event handler

Hi ,
I am using sharepoint 2013. I am trying to set item level access rights when a list item is added using the following code snippet,
public override void ItemAdding(SPItemEventProperties properties)
base.ItemAdding(properties);
ConfigureItemSecurity(properties);
private void ConfigureItemSecurity(SPItemEventProperties properties)
var item=properties.ListItem;
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(properties.SiteId))
using (SPWeb oWeb = site.OpenWeb())
item.ParentList.BreakRoleInheritance(true);
oWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
var guestRole = oWeb.RoleDefinitions.GetByType(SPRoleType.Reader);
var editRole = oWeb.RoleDefinitions.GetByType(SPRoleType.Editor);
SPGroup HRGroup = oWeb.SiteGroups.Cast<SPGroup>().AsQueryable().FirstOrDefault(g => g.LoginName=="HR Team");
SPRoleAssignment groupRoleAssignment = new SPRoleAssignment(HRGroup);
groupRoleAssignment.RoleDefinitionBindings.Add(guestRole);
SPUserCollection users = oWeb.Users;
SPFieldUserValueCollection hm = (SPFieldUserValueCollection)item["HiringManager"];
SPFieldUserValueCollection pm = (SPFieldUserValueCollection)item["ProjectManager"];
SPFieldUserValueCollection pmChiefs = (SPFieldUserValueCollection)item["ProjectManagerChief"];
item.BreakRoleInheritance(true);
item.RoleAssignments.Add(groupRoleAssignment);
foreach (SPFieldUserValue staffMember in hm)
SetRightsOnItem(item, staffMember, editRole);
foreach (SPFieldUserValue staffMember in pm)
SetRightsOnItem(item, staffMember, guestRole);
foreach (SPFieldUserValue staffMember in pmChiefs)
SetRightsOnItem(item, staffMember, guestRole);
item.Update();
private void SetRightsOnItem(SPListItem item, SPFieldUserValue staffMember, SPRoleDefinition role)
SPUser employeeUser = staffMember.User;
var userRoleAssignment = new SPRoleAssignment(employeeUser);
userRoleAssignment.RoleDefinitionBindings.Add(role);
item.RoleAssignments.Add(userRoleAssignment);
Nothing is happening though... Is the event handler the right place to do this?

Setting system level deployment.user.cachedir in deployment.config

G'day,
I've been experimenting with JRE 1.5.0_04 on Windows XP.
By default deployment.user.cachedir is set to <user home>\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache. However, I want it to be <user home>\Local Settings\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache.
I have managed this as follows.
C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.config contains:
deployment.system.config=file\:C\:/WINDOWS/Sun/Java/Deployment/deployment.propertiesand C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties contains:
deployment.user.cachedir=$USER_HOME\\..\\..\\..\\..\\Local Settings\\Application Data\\Sun\\Java\\Deployment\\cacheThis works but is ugly. The problem is that $USER_HOME=<user home>\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment. It seems that $USER_HOME and $JRE_HOME are the only two variables for use in deployment properties. Are there any others, in particular, one that mirrors the user's actual home directory?
Thanks,
Chris.

G'day,
Open the Java Console and execute "dump system and
deployment properties" which shows property values,
and see if what you want is there.Thanks, but I don't think I can use these at the system level, can I?
I did try using ${user.home} but that doesn't work.
So, are there any variables other than $USER_HOME and $JRE_HOME that can be used when setting system level properties?
More info, http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/properties.html
Thanks,

Problem with setting Source Level in Sun Studio 2

I've got problem with setting Source Level to 1.5 in Sun Studio 2. When I try to set it to 1.5 in Project properties and click Ok everything seem to go well, but when I open Project Properties again Source Level is set to 1.4. I need this to work cause I started to lear Java recently and I want to use foreach loop.
Please help

I'm just citing an example using Date().
In fact, whether I use DateFormat or Calendar, it shows the same result.
When I set the date to 1 Jan 1950 0 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds,
jdk1.4.2 will always return me 1 Jan 1950 0 hours 10 minutes 0 seconds.
It works correctly under jdk1.3.1

C How to Set Isolation Level in the Connection String

How to Set Isolation Level in the Connection String using the "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2 Version 4.0"?
We are trying to move from Crystal Reporting that run against a IBM DB2 database on a mainfram to SSRS reporting and we have downloaded the "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2 Version 4.0" and then worked with the DB2 Administrator to create the
Packages. We only have access to use the "Read Uncommitted ("MSUR001") package. We were able to connect and pull data before he removed access to the other packages, but after setting access the Connection keeps trying to use
the 'Cursor Stability (MSCS001)" package. How do we change the Default to the "Read Uncommitted ("MSUR001") package??? Since it is keeps defaulting to the the other package
we can't connect to do it in the T-SQL query, it has to be set at the Connection String level.

Hi Dannyboy1263,
According to your description, you want to set the Transaction Isolation Level in Connection String. Right?
In Reporting Services, the Connection String for OLE DB Connection can only contains Provider, Data Source and Initial Catalog. There's no property for setting Transaction Isolation Level in the Connection String. Based on my knowledge, we can
only set the Transaction Isolation Level at Query level or set it by using code (C#, VB, Java...) to call the property of Connection. So unfortunately your requirement can't be achieved currently.
Reference:
OLE DB Connection Type (SSRS)
Data Connections, Data Sources, and Connection Strings in Reporting Services
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou

Setting volume levels in a single track

How do I change the playback level of several seconds of a single track?

Good to hear that you were able to sort it out. It sounds as though you were really pushing up against the limits of the disk, so the window of opportunity for the break point would have been very narrow. If you want to experiment with the 8.5gb version again I would suggest guesstimating approximately where the middle of the project is and then scattering chapter markers in that general area. You should come up with one that is in the right place to make it work.

Changing playback level in portion of a single track

How do I change the playback level of several seconds of V/O? Or, how can I get the entire track to play at the same level?

CapeDory30 wrote:

open GB's help and search for "curve"
Or, how can I get the entire track to play at the same level?
you can use compressors, limiters, and dynamics processors, all of which will require some learning and experimentation

Setting field level security

I have created a form in LiveCycle in which two fields (Header and an Image block) need to be editable by one user type (e.g. power user), but should not be changeable by the end users. They will only be able to fill in other fields in the form. So far I have only been able to set form level security. Is there a way to apply security to just these two fields, perhaps requiring a password, so that the power user can update these two fields as needed?
Thanks for any ideas you might have!

Hi Diego,
Thanks for responding. We aren't using the LC PM module, so that takes one suggestion out of the running.
We tried some Javascript we found on the Acrobat forum (see below for what we used) - using it as an action with a bookmark, but it didn't work. The guy who wrote the script on that forum looked at our file and thought that the problem was likely because the form was developed in LiveCycle. We are not Java experts (or even close!), so we have no clue where to start. And unfortunately if we cannot find a solution for this dilemma, we will have to decline a project from a client.
So again, any thoughts or suggestions on where to go from here are greatly appreciated!
(function () {
    // Get one of the fields in the group
    var f = getField("private.name");
    // Determine new readonly state, which
    // is the opposite of the current state
    var readonly = !f.readonly;
    var readonly_desc = readonly ? "deactivate" : "activate";
    // Ask user for password
    var resp = app.response({
        cQuestion: "To " + readonly_desc + " the fields, enter the password:",
        cTitle: "Enter password",
        bPassword: true,
        cLabel: "Password"
    switch (resp) {
    case "your_password": // Your password goes here
        getField("private").readonly = readonly;
        app.alert("The fields are now " + readonly_desc + "d.", 3);
        break;
    case null : // User pressed Cancel button
        break;
    default : // Incorrect password
        app.alert("Incorrect password.", 1);
        break;
In this example, the fields that are controlled by this all have a field name prefix of "private", for example "private.name", "private.address", etc. This makes it easier to control the fields as a group, as I do in the line of code that begins: getField("private").readonly If you don't use such a field naming convention, you'd have to have a separate such line for each field in the group.
Replace "your_password" above with one of your own. The first and last lines are not necessary, but do prevent the needless creation of document-global variables, which is a good thing.

Setting Importance Level for a email message using javax.mail.* API

Setting Importance Level for a email message using javax.mail.* API
From what I understand we can set Flag on Email Message. How can we set Importance Leve: High/Low for an email message?
Thanks
Purvi

Most of the message Flags work only for IMAP mailboxes. POP3 supports only the DELETED flag. It must be understood that Javamail is a framework which provides all the features available in a standard mailing system. But whether or not a particular feature works is a functionality of the particular implementation being used.
Thus for example POP3 cannot differentiate read from unread messages in a mailbox though Javamail provides that feature.
