Setup Problem - Need Help Please!!
My problem is a low hum eminating from my speakers every time I connect my MPC2000 sampler to my audio interface.
My setup consists of the MPC2000, a Dj Mixer, and my laptop which has an M-Audio interface which I use to connect the mixer & MPC. Basically, as soon as I remove the cables that connect my MPC or my mixer to my interface, the hum stops. I've tried different cables, new cables, a ground adapter for the MPC to change it to 2 prong, and nothing helps. The only thing that DOESN'T cause this hum when plugged into my interface, is my keyboard, so i'm quite sure the interface itself isn't the problem.
Does anyone know what might be causing this interference that's resulting in a hum? I have exhausted all my own theories and am desperate for some sort of help! Many thanks in advance!!!
Hi beirut,
Try the following:
1.Put the mpc2000,the dj mixer and your computer all in the same power outlet from the wall.
2.Go to home despot and buy a few gray-colored ground lift plugs (they must be gray)
3.With these gray ground lift plugs,lift the MPC2000.test the system.No hum=solved problem.hum still there or different,list the DJ mixer.
4.Is your DJ mixer hooked up to turntables? If so,you need to ground the turntables to a proper ground.Good turntables have a little wire coming out of them,just for that purpose.
5.Try turning off any TVs,refridgerators,fluorescent lighting(the ones that look like office lights),and other things around your place,and see if the hum goes away.
6.Try using a DI box for your DJ mixer,to plug it in to the DI,and then out to the audio interface.
7.And Most Importantly... RUN AND BUY A DIFFERENT BRAND OF AUDIO INTERFACE!!!!!!!!!! M-Audio...yucky yucky yucky!!!
Cheers

Serius project problems - Need help please
Hi,
I'm using adobe premiere and after effects to my last film (this is not the first time). I'm using DV 1280*720 default sound settings (as I did before in other movies). I have an Imac C2D and plenty of hard disk space.
Yesterday when I import new takes and done some light fx's (blur 10% and tint) when I saved the premiere frozen for 30 minutes and then I had to force quit.
When I've tried to open that project again, it just don't open. I've tried everything. See if there was any corrupted file, checked for Hard drive problem (it doesn't have any) and I delete the previous rendered files (as I saw on some tutorial).
At least I could recover that project using autosaved and previous project backup (I take care always of saving backups).
But when I saved again (the new recovered and rendered project) it freezes on quit and there comes again. (it seems that premiere it is getting something from the old(damaged) project and just stack there !!!!!!
The project then it just don't open (I don't see any error message) I just see after 1 hour my premiere freezed and there is no way to see the timeline to fix anything.
I assume that I have to recover again and to all work over and over. I saw some forums talking about adobe "broken links" something related to video files source and corrupted files, but I still don't get it (since premiere doesn't tells me what is going wrong!!!!!!). They talk about deleting MACC file on windows but I'm on a mac. I didn't saw any tutorial about recovering.
whe this thing happens I see my timeline with video and audio. I can render but when I quit the program doesn't load the project again.
Please any help...... I'm working since a month ago on this movie and I need to deleiver that asap.
Is it better to export the video in parts and them join in a new project or there is any other thing that I can do without missing my month of work.
ohhh man I just want to screamFor any reason that I can't explain when I arrived home after day work, I've tried last time before looking my backups and Premiere loaded my project
Before save and quit I've take a look in all file (check the link and where is the source) I found 2 still frames (photos) were lost ( i mean from my hard drive).
My biggest clue now it is, when I deleted some video file before, when I enter the premiere project 1st thing that show it is a windows asking me to "point" where is that file.
But when happens with a photo, premiere doesn't say that this files are lost. It just stucks your project. Any tip to prevent this again?

ps: about your question "Next, please verify your Project/Sequence Presets. Do they match your footage 100%?" I've changed 2 video files, they were pretty bigger than the part I was taking for this project, so I edit and save just the part that I am using.
Btw I've heard that Journaled HFS+ it is not good on Imac to use premiere render option. Is that right?
Many thanks in advance. -
C6-00 email account problems, need help please..
Hi all. First of all, I don't experience any issues with the email accounts as referred to in other posts here. I do however have one problem and would appreciate if someone could explain a work-around for the issue. I'm desperately trying to set up a Gmail account using IMAP protocol but that allows me to access all advanced settings and not the ones pre-defined by the Nokia software. I'm basically wanting to have the same control I have over non pre-configured email provider accounts, download limits in KB, constantly connected when i have the mailbox open, choosing what folders to sync or not, etc.
I did manage to have a Gmail account configured this way by mistake. When i set up the account it gave an error informing me of that i could try to continue with "alternative settings without the Nokia personalization" sort of (don't remember really the message) and after accepting to continue the account was created with "standard IMAP" settings.
I'm however unable to re-create the event and simply cannot create a Gmail account with those settings. Even tried to set up another existing account and then edit definitions to Gmail but the personalized settings are always taking priority.
Any advises please? Thanks alot in advance and best regards!

P.s. Sorry for double post. Mozilla Firefox messed up my 1st postSame problem here, but with error -2096. Can connect fine on same network with an iPod Touch and a Macbbook, but the Mac Mini that normally connects to iTunes just won't connect. Not using multiple accounts, uninstalled iTunes 8, reinstalled 7 - no joy. Uninstalled 7 reinstalled 8, no joy. Updated 8 to 8.01, no joy. Tried putting the Mini into a DMZ on the router, still no good. Sent an email to Apple support who will needless to say tell me to reinstall iTunes 8......
Not working for me as of 10/10/08. -
Print to screen OR file problem, need help please.
Hiyo!, im doing a certain program the way to Uni wants me to do it so im using a textFile jar file for all the reading writing etc, i know its not standard java but thats not what im having trouble with.
Im trying to make a prog that will print its results to screen if the only augument on the command line is the file to read from eg.( java ProgramThree input.txt ).
but if two arguments are written on the command line eg.( java ProgramThree input.txt output.txt ) then it
will print the results to the file (output.txt) and not display to screen.
I know that its just that ive messed up a couple of the "args.length" statments in main() , but my brain gets confused easy :[
Any help would be sweet. Thanks.
class ProgramThree
public static String calc(String line)
String type[] = {"Valid Isosceles","Valid Equilateral","Valid Scalene","Invalid"};
String result = null;
int s1 = 0;
int s2 = 0;
int s3 = 0;
try
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(line);
s1 = Integer.parseInt(st.nextToken());
s2 = Integer.parseInt(st.nextToken());
s3 = Integer.parseInt(st.nextToken());
catch (Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}
if ((s1+s2>s3)&&(s1+s3>s2)&&(s2+s3>s1))
if((s1==s2)||(s1==s3)||(s2==s3))
if((s1==s2)&&(s1==s3))
result = type[1];
else
result = type[0];
else
result = type[2];
else
result = type[3];
return result;
public static void printScreen(String result)
System.out.println("\nTriangle is: " +result+ "\n");
public static void main(String args[])
String line = null;
String result = null;
if(args.length > 2)
System.out.println("Too many Filenames Given!");
System.exit(1);
textFile inFile = new textFile(args[0], 'r');
textFile outFile = new textFile(args[1], 'a');
while(!inFile.EOF())
line = inFile.readLine();
if(line == null)
break;
result = calc(line);
if(args.length == 0)
printScreen(result);
else
outFile.writeLine(result);
System.out.println("\nResults written to file.");
inFile.closeFile();
outFile.closeFile();
return;
}Thanks for your reply neil!
But im not to sure how I would impliment your code into my program :0
The code that I posted before is throwing an arrayOutOfBounds exception at the line
inFile = new textFile(args[0], 'r');
outFile = new textFile(args[1], 'a'); <-----------Here
This happens if I enter none or one auguments on the command line :/
But if I enter two auguments it works fine and writes to file..
I know its because when there is one augument on the command line (or none at all) it opens to outFile for nothing, because its printing to screen?
The thing is i dont know how to fix this :[

EMU 0404 Problems -- need help please
Any help to my current issue would be greatly appreciated.
I recently bought the EMU PCI card on its own.
Im runnin a brand new top of the range pc on windows XP (im new to XP, windows 2000 and a mac user originally - so i may have just missed something)
But on my old windows 2000 machine with the standard on board soundcard, when i went to my sound settings (speaker in the corner) then, Properties > Recording....... i got a list of several options, such as - Line in, Stereo mix, wave out, etc...
In the past i used the stereo mix setting to stream music to potential customers via msn messenger, obviously streaming what my soundcard played.
After installing this soundcard, i now have no stereo mix or anything previous, only WAVE which i cant select or control the volume for, maybe because its on xp?? is there a way to record and stream (via msn) what your soundcard plays using the EMU 0404? i also used this setting to record sounds of the internet etc... Surely im being stupid? with an expensive upgrade to this soundcard from crappy on board? surely?
If so any help would be massivly appreciated...
Thanks in advanceThank you for you speedy reply mate.
Ive read the link you provided aswell as several other sites and the manual.
For some reason having the emu selected and enabled in the hardware settings instead of the on board soundcard it takes away all the recording settings in windows as i mentioned before.
Simply i can record with this soundcard, i just want to stream what my soundcard plays through msn, also wherever i look the only option for playback and recording i have is E-DSP Wave [Df00]....... ive gone throughout the patchmix, tried near every setting to stream what my soundcard plays.. im lost

Nokia n96 video problems.Need help please
how do i go about putting videos on through pc suite but everytime i try, it starts converting and stops quatre way there.
i tryed using another media converter all together now don't know what format or resolution the videos have to be converted to in order to work on my phone. the videos i have been trying to convert are .avi format.
does anyone have any advice that can help me?PC suite is the wrong tool for this job as it's not very good at handling large files.
A great source of information on how to make videos compatible with the N96 is available on this blog:
http://portablevideo.blogspot.com/
Look through the archives on there and you will find a very good guide on what programs to use and the required settings.
If your avi files are divx or xvid you may want to install the programs below to see if you can play them without conversion. The program on the first link is free, the second is not but a demo may be available.

Today i was listening to music and my zen micro just froze while playing and no buttons could be pressed and the lock button wasnt on. So i took the battery out and rebooted the player but it froze at the creative screen. I went home and i went to recovery mode and tried to reload the firmware but it said erasing firmware for more than 2 hours. So then i tried a format but it said formating for the same amount of time. I need help please. Also, recently i've had problems witht the headphone jack. When ever i would stick it in it would sound distorted and i would have to move it around until i got it to a certain spot to hear it good again. If anyone else has this problem please tell me. One more thing i had returned my other micro zen in for hard dri've probems and this was my new one do u think if i have to return in (hopefully not) that they would accept it.
If the functions in Rescue Mode aren't working properly then you need to contact Creative Support.

After updating to iOS 8.0.2 the App Store and iTunes have disappeared, is anyone else having this problem? Help please!
Well, if they have truly disappeared then something is really messed up. For really messed up stuff, you need to set it to factory default condition, and then afterwards, restore it from your backup.

Do you have apps purchased with a differnt AppleID?
For example, mine shows 12 updates but only 2 show up as being available.

Just upgraded to Lion, how can I use my microsoft office especially excel. I'm getting messages that it's no longer supported. This is a BIG problem. Help, please.
Apple has made a serious error not advising people when the Lion upgrade occurs that their present software may/will not be compatible and advise the user of such before and allow a opt out.
All you can do (besides upgrading all your software) is backup your data off the machine (not to TimeMachine) and disconnect all drives.
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk and erase your makers hard drive on the far left, (that's the entire drive of everything)
Partition tab: Option: GUID, format OS X extended and click apply so you get a new GUID (replacing the Lion one or trouble occurs later)
Quit and install 10.6, then go through setup and use the same name as before, then update to 10.6.8
Then c boot off the 10.6 disk again and use Disk Utility to Repair the disk the 10.6.8 update messed up.
Then install all your programs again from fresh sources and lastly your user files in the same main user folders as before (music, pictures, documents etc.)
Done as described will get you back just like it was before as close as possible, make SURE to use the same username or else your iTunes and other files get all messed up. Password and drive name can be different though if you wish.
Note: if you've upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6, then you don't get the free iLife as it's not on the 10.6.3 white disks, only on the disks that came with your machine. So that will have to be purchased and reinstalled or use Pacifist to extract it from the 10.5 disks.
This handy site can advise you what software doesn't work with the Lion.
