Sharing templates and plug-in presets

does anyone know where you can find a place where other people are willing to share their custom project templates, such as one they have made with eq already set for certain drums?

i mean by sending the template file, not saying i cut and boost so and so.

  • Dynamic image does not work in the template builder plug-in (Apex-BI Intgr)

    Hi all, I posted this problem in the BI Publisher topic but nobody responded maybe this is because mods thought this is an Apex-BI integration issue.
    If I'm in the wrong place, please do warn me.
    The documentation says:
    Direct Insertion
    Insert the jpg, gif, or png image directly in your template.
    ...This works obviously
    URL Reference
    1. Insert a dummy image in your template.
    2. In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
    url:{'http://image location'}
    For example, enter: url:{'http://www.oracle.com/images/ora_log.gif'}
    ...This works too when I hardcode an url as url:{'http://www.google.com.tr/images/firefox/mobiledownload.png'}
    Element Reference from XML File
    1. Insert a dummy image in your template.
    2. In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
    url:{IMAGE_LOCATION}
    where IMAGE_LOCATION is an element from your XML file that holds the full URL to the image.
    ...This, however, does not work.
    I use Apex' report query tool and My query is like
    select 'http://www.google.com.tr/images/firefox/mobiledownload.png' IMAGE_LOCATION from ... (a single result set for my template)
    the xml data is generated with an IMAGE_LOCATION tag. I load it to word template plug-in. The Url successfully displays in the report if I make it a plain-simple field.
    But when it's in the image format->web->alt text as url:{IMAGE_LOCATION} no image displayed.
    I need to keep this design procedure simple so a simple word user could design a report via using just template builder plug-in. I don't wish to explore the xsl-fo area...yet.
    Could you tell me why I can't get this url:{IMAGE_LOCATION} to work?
    Regards
    PS: My BI version: 10.1.3.4.1

    Hi Oeren,
    your steps seem basically to be correct. I have a tutorial how to do this here (in german)
    http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/de/community/apex/tipps/pdf-dyn-images/index.html
    when you see the URL corrently as long as you have it as a plain text field, the XML tag and the
    referencing seem to be OK.
    Here are two thought - the issue might be one of these ...
    How did you insert the dummy image into the word document - did you do it via "insert" or
    via "link to file". "Link to File" does not work - you must choose the simple "insert".
    Another one: Does your BI Server have a connection to the internet - is the proxy server correctly set ..?
    Does this help ..?
    Regards

  • Few questions on Templates and Favorites

    Experts,
    Few fundamental questions on Templates and Favorites...
    1) Can Favorites be shared with other users?
    2) Can Templates be transported across systems (Dev or QA or PRD) ?
    3) Can Templates be shared across planning area ( Yes, KF names are same across planning area?
    Any insights appreciated!!!
    Thanks
    Krishna

    Hello Krishna
    1. No, favorites are user specific and are not shared. Templates are.
    2. There are no transports in the traditional sense in S&OP. So a Template can't really be transported. What you can do, however, is open a Template in DEV, for example, then log off and log back on - just this time to QA or PRD. This assumes you have the same planning area, KF etc.in each system. Now you can add it to the templates in QA or PRD ... this is how you get it from one system to another.
    3. I believe they are not shared between planning areas. If you make a planning area copy, I think they might come over but if you built a new PA2 from scratch, the ones you have in PA1 won't be there. If you want to get a planning view template from one PA to another, you basically follow the steps as in my answer to your second question. Again, for sharing a planning view Template between Planning Areas the attributes, time profiel and key figures you use have to be the same.
    Hope this helps,
    Jens

  • May Release: New partner support, Infrastructure updates, Site templates and bug fixes

    Link: http://www.businesscatalyst.com/_blog/BC_Blog/post/May-release-New-partner-support-Infrast ructure-updates-Site-templates-and_bug-fixes/
    We are announcing a new Business Catalyst release, scheduled to go live on Thursday, May 3rd. With this release, we are continuing our investments in system performance and stability by increasing our web servers capacity, enabling HTTP acceleration to provide faster site loading times, and improving the site creation speed by using pre-generated sites.
    On the product side, we have completely revamped our partner support workflow taking advantage of the Adobe support infrastructure and tools, enhanced the site templates workflow for partners, and included lots of bug fixes and improvements. Read through the following sections to get detailed information about this release:
    Partner support
    Infrastructure updates
    Features and enhancements
    Issues fixed by this release
    What's next
    You can jump to the corresponding section by clicking the above links.
    Partner support
    Updated Help & Support partner experience
    Following Adobe ID support, we have upgraded BC  support tools (cases, chat, documentation) with standard Adobe tools. As a partner, you can now benefit from the same support tools as the rest of Adobe Creative Suite, and can track your support cases with Adobe BC, Dreamweaver, Muse or Photoshop in a single place.
    Partners with more than 100 paid sites will get 2nd level chat support, which includes a higher priority, by default. If you have more than 100 paid sites, but spread across different Partner Portals, please ask support to enable 2nd level chat for you.
    Support experience for your Small Business owner clients can now be owned by partners (see below).
    Custom Help & Support URL for your clients
    As a partner, you are probably already offering various additional services to your clients besides building & maintaining their BC site. Support, tailored specifically to your client needs, is usually one of these value-added services. We are now enabling you to take your Support service to the next level. In  Partner Portal Settings, you have the option to set a custom URL for what will open when your client clicks on Help & Support inside Admin Console:
    If you have multiple partner accounts, for different verticals, you can specify a Support URL for each of these.
    The default Support experience provided by BC for your clients will be updated in a few releases to be similar to the partner support experience. This includes BC-branded support cases and documentation. If you'd like to keep a white-label experience for your customers, please set your own Help & Support URL in Partner Portal.
    For more details please read the Improved support workflow and new forums announcement on our blog.
    Infrastructure updates
    Between our April release and the following infrastructure updates have been enabled
    Limited trial sites for free partners – starting with our May release, the number of trial sites a Free Partner can have will be limited to 100. Once the limit is reached, Free Partners that need to create a new trial site have the options to upgrade to a higher partner plan, upgrade some of the trial sites to paid or delete unused/expired trials.
    Automatic trial expiry extension - with this release, trial site expiry date will be automatically extended with 30 days every time an admin user logs in  the system through the admin interface or through FTP.
    Installed additional hardware - we have installed additional web servers on all our data centers, that translate into an increase of the existing capacity with over 70%.
    Updated DNS infrastructure - we have improved the DNS resolution for email delivery so that we can increase the rate at which we're sending the system operational emails
    HTTP acceleration – all sites static assets are served from a new cache engine (images, CSS and JavaScript files, together with improved headers that should allow the browser to cache them better for a browsing session). This update has been turned on along with our April release, and has made all the BC sites load faster on first and on subsequent loads.   
    Accelerated site/partner creation – we've changed the way new sites are created for faster speed, pre-creating them and reusing pre-created sites when needed, and have also improved the creation process for new partners, minimizing the impact of new CCM customers on the existing datacenters.
    Adobe ID for partners - in order to support an integrating experience between the various Adobe tools a partner may use (Dreamweaver, Muse, Support forums) we have added Adobe ID support for Business Catalyst partner accounts. Starting April 19, partners are asked to merge their current Business Catalyst account with their Adobe ID accounts. For more details about the transition process and FAQ please read the Introducing Adobe ID blog post.
    Updated Terms of Use - Along with several other changes in our processes in the past few months, we also revamped our Terms of Use and the signature process by requesting every admin user to sign a TOU. We have completed the rollout for partners, and we might be pushing an updated partner Terms of Use version within the following weeks. For more details and questions about this change, read the New Terms of Use for Business Catalyst blog post.
    Features and enhancements
    Site templates
    To support the increasing number of partners building, sharing or reusing  templates to create  new sites, we're extending our site templates support from our partner portal with a new template type and improved  management support. The update is going to enable partners to mark sites as templates and   choose between making them available in Online Business Builder and keeping them private in their partner portal. A template site will not expire and has the same limits as any other trial site.
    Based on your partner level, you can create private or public templates using the Site Details screen or the Tools>My Site Template section from your Partner Portal. Standard partners can only create private templates, while Free Partners can only view site templates that have been transferred to their accounts by other partners.
    The number of templates a partner will have will be limited and will vary based on partner level: free partners can store up to 5 templates in their partner portal, standard partners have up to 100 site templates while Premium Partners might have up to 200 templates. Paid sites marked as templates are not counted against these limits.
    Business Catalyst Partner fixes
    While we are really focused on making the Business Catalyst integration into Creative Cloud a smashing success, we are slowly resuming our efforts to deliver fixes that have been requested by our partners. This release includes the following partner fixes:
    Improved product custom fields - we have increased the maximum number of characters for product custom fields to 1024 (previous limit was 256); this gives partners and customers additional space to use when working with products
    Improved Secure Zone subscribers list - we have added the customer email address in the Secure Zone Subscribers list to enable partners better filter and manage customers
    Better experience when exporting data - to prevent customer confusion when exporting data from Mac computers, we have removed the export to excel option and exporting in CSV format by default.
    Social plugins integration updates
    Starting with our May release, we are updating the social plugins support to require users to get the plugin code from the third party provider and saving into his Business Catalyst website. The module tags and configuration will remain unchanged, but will render an empty tag until the partner or site owner will  update the module template to include the corresponding module code snippet from the third party platform provider.
    For more information about how you can enable the Social Plugins on a Business Catalyst websites, read the Social Media: Integrating Facebook and Twitter knowledge base article.
    Other changes
    Updated weekly emails - Starting with our May release, the information in the site weekly emails has been filtered based on the site's plan. For example, webBasics site reports will no longer include the sales report.
    Localization - we improved and increased the coverage of the admin interface translations into German, French and Japanese
    Site Settings -> Ignored IP addresses has been relocated under Reports -> Visitors -> More.
    BC-Dreamweaver integration performance improvements
    Development Dashboard has been removed, as it didn't provide a clear useful, ongoing benefit. The information present in the development dashboard has been integrated into our new Help & Support section.
    Payment gateway settings - for more privacy and data protection, we have updated the Payment Gateway configuration screens to obfuscate the sensitive login information. Fields that have been obfuscated are now requiring confirmation.
    Report abuse badge on trial sites - for compliance reasons, a "Report Abuse" link has been added to the front-end of all trial sites of free partners that don't have any paid sites. When they click the Report Abuse link, site visitors are redirected to a form submission page on businesscatalyst.com site.

    What's next
    The first item on the what's next list might not be news for many of you, but it's definitely one of the most important milestones this year. The Creative Cloud launch is just around the corner, and Business Catalyst is playing an important role in that, as the publishing platform for Adobe® Muse and Dreamweaver. This launch will capture all our attention within the next weeks as we want it to be our best ever. 
    We'll start our next development cycle on May 15th, while the next Business Catalyst release is going to be pushed live in mid June. That being said, the following items are already on our launch plan for the next release and a few more will join the list. Please expect an update on our 2012 plans around mid May.
    HTTP throttling – all page load and API calls to BC will be protected against attacks, this might trigger problems for API heavy sites. We are looking into enabling this update along with our June release, and will help make sure that a reasonable number of requests will be accepted from the same computer per minute.
    Automatic site deletion - Starting with the June release, we are going to start automatically delete expired trial sites and canceled sites. Customers will be notified twice before we are going to proceed with deleting the sites.
    Thank you,
    Cristinel Anastasoaie
    Adobe Business Catalyst Product Manager

    In reference to this change in the Custom Reports... Better experience when exporting data - to prevent customer confusion when exporting data from Mac computers, we have removed the export to excel option and exporting in CSV format by default.
    What is the customer confusion we are trying to stop here? I've got even more confused customers at the moment because all of a sudden they can't find the export to excel option but know it exists if they log in on a PC?

  • Sub-admins, Shared Secret, and Automated Podcast Upload Access

    Before the questions, the context:
    Here at Iowa State, we've set up "sub-admins" for each of the colleges by managing an exceptions list. In this way, the sub-admins can create new courses from templates and help faculty upload content, but within their college area only. In addition, faculty automatically have upload access for their course(s) if the identifier is set up correctly by the sub-admin.
    However, some of these sub-admins have asked for the secret question so that they can use their lecture capture package (and not the package supported by central IT (Echo 360)) to automatically upload course content.
    As we all know, the secret question is the key to the site, circumventing any sub-admin access we've granted them, and essentially giving them full admin rights.
    So, my questions are:
    1. How are all of you handling the creation of new courses and content? That is, are all courses and other content created by one central person/office, or is the responsibility for creating and managing content shared among similar sub-admins?
    2. If you have sub-admins, what is your policy for giving out the shared secret for the purposes of these packages?
    3. Is there any way to allow these podcast creation packages the ability to auto-upload without handing out the shared secret?

    My suggestion is that if you use Apple's time server (time.apple.com), then if Apple has the wrong time, your local time setting will be wrong by an equal amount. It's pretty unlikely that Apple's time server(s) will be off…but if they are, you're covered because the time stamp that you generate locally and the time stamp that Apple generates remotely will derive from the same source, whether or not that source is actually "correct" in an absolute sense, then, won't matter.
    You are correct that Woolamaloo uses the local time of your Mac/PC. But if your local machine and your web portal machine time sync from the same time server, then they could be equally "wrong".
    Another thing that I mentioned earlier is that all timestamps are measured from UTC or "Greenwich" time. So if your portal server/desktop machine isn't configured correctly for location, this will not be taken into account when your timestamps are generated. For example, I live in Chicago, which is currently under Central Daylight Time in the USofA. This means I'm UTC-5 hours, if memory serves. If I move to, oh, Duke University, but forget to change the locale on my computer, then my computer will continue to think that I'm UTC-5 when I should, in reality, now be UTC-4. So if you find that your timestamps are off by an exact number of hours, then it's a sure bet that your machines aren't setup correctly for their locales. Make sense?

  • Acrobat 10 and plug-ins for Acrobat 9 incompatibility?

    Hi,
    Today I've installed trial version of Acrobat 10 to check if my plug-in for Acrobat 9 could run for it as well. But after Acrobat 10 launch I've got a window:
    Acrobat.exe - Unable to Locate Component
    This application has failed to start because MSVCP80.dll was not found.
    Quick check over plug-ins shipped now inside Acrobat 10 showed me that they are using now MSVCP90.DLLL library instread of MSVCP80.dll used for Acrobat 9.
    Does it mean that we need to recompile our source code with higher version of MS Visual Studio? If so - what version should we use?
    Does it also mean that our plug-ins prepared for Acrobat 9 are incompatible with Acrobat 10 or there is some way they could still run without recompilation?
    Any comments on this would be highly appreciated.

    I always prefer to use shared libraries, i.e. DLLs, in their supposed shared way and not statically embedded into my executable if I know that some environment is pretty stable and customer is aware of various possible DLLs dependencies. If Acrobat could do some job for me - then I'm happy with that without allocation of additional memory/resources needed in case of static linking.
    So, you don't answer my question. What C++ compiler's version should be used to put MSVCP90.DLL reference now instead of previously used MSVCP80.DLL?

  • Setting the shared templates location by Deploying Office 365 Midsized Business "using a network share" from a on-premise location

    I found the question "Deploy Office 365 pro plus using a network share or from a on-premise locaiton" the most useful of the resources
    on MS yet - but I am having difficulties getting the files to download for a local deployment.
    The root of the issue, that I cannot find anywhere, is how do I set the shared templates location for users in the organization.  First I thought a GPO, but I cannot find that setting in the GPO in MS.
    Then I thought modifying the REG- but it is in a binary key which could include other information I may not want modified(Or does it matter?)
    Then I looked for ways to download the deployment but launching from an elevated prompt as IT (Domain level) returns a useless error to paraphrase- 'sorry MSOffice didn't install- do you have enough disk space'.
    I have downloaded the GPO objects, but not installed them, likely I will need those later though.
    Just want to path all the users to a central repository of office/excel/access/outlook templates in addition to their local templates. Concise help in steps or sites that have solved the issue are Greatly appreciated : )

    Hi,
    you can use the GPO ADMX templates to configure the "Workgroup templates path".
    This actually configures a registry setting named: "sharedtemplates".
    The registry value/type/data is:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\15.0\common\general
    Name: sharedtemplates
    Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ (Expandable String Value)
    Data: <UNC path to folder>
    From the GPO reference workbook/sheet, for Office:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4976.selected-content-relating-to-group-policy-administrative-templates-adm-and-admx.aspx
    Filename: office15.admx 
    Scope: User 
    Path: Microsoft Office 2013\Shared paths 
    Policy Setting Name: Workgroup templates path 
    Supported on: At least Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 
    Category: Shared paths 
    Explain Text: Specifies the location of workgroup templates. 
    Registry Key: HKCU\software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\common\general!sharedtemplates
    Note: it is supported to populate this setting, with a UNC path, but not with a web path.
    e.g.: \\server01\shared\templates <this is valid>
    e.g.: http://server01/shared/templates <this is not valid>
    This constraint (for web URIs) can be difficult to work around. If you are using SharePoint, and think WebDAV might work, it doesn't seem to work for us :(
    Of course, if you have SharePoint, there are much better ways to handle document templates, but, our users are familiar with this File -> New -> from template type of method...
    It can also be set manually by a user:

  • Shared Services and Planning Synchronization

    Ok, this is probably useful for a lot of people, but can anyone articulately explain the relationship between MSAD (or whatever the source security system is), Shared Services, and Planning? There are like 5 utiities and or Web Client buttons that claim to sync different parts to each other.
    MSAD is the source system. It is "plugged into" Shared Services. (Are these always in sync, is there some utility to run to sync them?)
    Then there is this Shared Services "Native Directory" what is this? There is a "Sync Native Directory" button in Shared Services, what does this sync?
    Assuming that SS is synced with MSAD, we then turn to Planning. In Planning, there are "Migrate Identities" and "Remove Non-Provisioned Users/Groups" buttons. What do these buttons sync, and is Migrate Identities the same as the ProvisionUsers.cmd utility?
    I want to know the best way to keep all this in sync, MSAD to SS and SS to Planning. Is any of this automatic, and if I need to run manual utilities, which ones do I need to run and which "buttons" do I need to push.
    thanks
    -Patrick

    Hi,
    Ok here goes, I am not really sure which version you are on because there was a bit of a change between 9.2 and 9.3 with regards to MSAD (uses the ObjectGUID instead of SamAccountName)
    Sync Native Directory - Shared Services contains all the product registration details, OpenLdap (Native Directory) stores all the provisioning, sometimes it is possible they could go out of sync which is pretty rare, so the sync native directory makes sure Shared Services and Open Ldap are in sync.
    Migrate Identities - I think this is more of the line of the updateusers.cmd utility where if a user has changed in the directory (this was more of an issue when SamAccountName was used as users group change OUs in the Active Directory) it will update the planning table with the new details.
    Remove-Non Provisioned Users/Groups - I am sure this doesn't actually work and has been removed in later versions, it is meant to clear up users/groups in the planning tables where there don't exist in Shared Services anymore.
    It depends what you mean by is MSAD always in sync with Shared Services, if you are using 9.3 and configured to use the ObjectGUID then it is pretty much in sync as the id is not likely to change, if you are using SamAccountName and a user moves place in the organisational structure then it can go out of sync. There is another ultilty for that :) (update native directory utility)
    If you run the provision users utility after you have provisioned a user in shared services it will add the user to the planning tables and also push the user to essbase.
    All depends what you are finding is it a problem to what utility to you want to use.

  • How do I import or put in downloaded plug-ins/presets?

    So recently I've just been getting into 8-bit/16-bit music and I downloaded some presets for drums and plug-ins for synthesizers and such and I just have no idea how to install them on my computer. I am aware there are sub-folders, but where do I put my presets/plug-ins? They are ".cst" files and I am so confused. Thank you and please help I would really like to make 8-bit/16-bit music thank you very much!!

    .cst are channel strip settings.. Not plugins...
    In your User folder...
    Music/Audio Music Apps/Channel Strip Settings
    ...and then put in the appropriate folder inside there for the type of .cst they are....

  • Sharing Templates in Premiere Pro CS 5.5

    Hello,
    I need to share templates that contain logos with other editors logging on to various machines and need a way of doing this. Since the files save to the templates folder my documents automatically, in the past (with CS5) I would save the logo to this folder first, create the template and save it. Then I would move the entire templates folder to a sharing location, whereby people would move them into a project file, open the template inside premiere, and it would work (logo and all) Now, nothing I try (even replacing their template folder within Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/5.5 with mine) seems to make the logo appear. Again, I always keep the logo and the template file together to maintain the file path, but that doesn't seem to help.
    Any ideas out there would be appreciated.

    Use Photoshop for this instead.

  • Keeping custom templates and configurations on different drive

    What I'm trying to do is keep one set of DVDSP layouts/templates/etc on a partition that all of our editors/graphics artists can access instead of adding 8gb or more on each station. I figured out how to link each station to the stock palette elements, using the preferences, but I didn't see a way to let DVDSP know that the configurations folder has been moved to a new partition. And in terms of custom templates, where are those normally saved? In the same folder as the stock templates? I'm unsure where to point DVDSP to set the custom elements. It's default is /Users/drive/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Studio/DVD Studio Pro. I see that DVDSP wants to save custom templates in the user folder library and the general templates in the general library, but what if I want both on a non-local drive? Can I simply create two folders (templates/custom templates) and make sure that our editors save to the custom folder when using DVDSP?
    And lastly, will the custom configurations stay linked if I move the configurations folder to the new location on the shared media partition?
    Hope this makes sense,
    Steve

    Look in DVDSP Preferences > Destinations > Show: Palette Elements. You'll see the location destination of stock and custom elements.
    Hope that helps !

  • Plug-in presets all gone!

    Okay, I have no idea at all what happened. I was using Audition and my plug-in presets were all fine, then all of a sudden they're all gone. Does anyone know how to restore the presets? I would really like to have them back. I don't care about any custom ones I had, just the factory presets. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    This is a slightly modified version of a previous post on the subject - not so easy to find by searching, as I just discovered...
    >If you really want to restore all settings to their default, you can delete the audition_settings.xml file.
    >Please be aware that deleting or renaming the audition_settings.xml file will remove all personal settings you have made with regard to settings. So it is a good idea to make a copy of the file and to store it at a safe place before you continue.
    >The file is located in your personal folder. Typically, this will be C:\Documents and Settings\{your user-name}\Application Data\Adobe\Audition\3.0. But you have to tell Windows to show it to you, as it's hidden. This is how you do it:
    >Click Start. Open 'My Computer'. Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options. Select the View Tab. Under the 'Hidden files and folders' heading select 'Show hidden files and folders'. Uncheck the 'Hide protected operating system files (recommended)' option. Click Yes to confirm. Click OK.
    I'd add that you may wish to reverse this process afterwards to hide them again - it's up to you. Personally, I leave them visible all the time, for all the difference it makes.

  • Searching shared templates

    In my shared templates folder (which contain MANY templates), I used to be able to start typing the file name and it would take me directly to the template to select i.e. "L" for Lease.  Now I have to scroll through ALL templates
    to get to the one I need.  Is this search option not available in '13? 
    Separately, is there a reason some of my template file names are abbreviated? i.e. "Lease.Residential" appears as just: "Lease" (and it has nothing to do with the period in the middle of the two, already tried to change that)
    Thanks!!

    Are you typing in the search bar or directly among the files? With Office suites or in Windows file explorer?
    I have tried both methods and they work well in my Office 2013.
    I also add a "." inside the file name, making no differences.
    Make sure you were typing the right first letter of the file name.
    If you are searching within Office suites, switch to another location to search among the files again.
    Also go to windows file explorer and check if it works well when searching among files in the folder.

  • Audition CC Apply update to template and apply to existing files

    Help! Can't find input anywhere on this!
    I've created several podcast episodes, but have a global volume change and effect I need to apply to several files that are assigned to a certain template (affecting 16 episodes).
    If I make the change to the template and track, will it make the change across the board on my raw (unprocessed) Audition files ?
    Please - can someone address this ASAP?  I know Templates are new to the latest Audition CC version released.

    I believe that Templates only apply to opening a brand new session in Audition. I don't think that you can retrospectively apply Template changes to a ready saved session. You can however either apply volume changes and some effects using the Batch Process feature of Audition to adjust already saved files. Alternatively you can add your additional effects/level change into the Effects Rack and save as a preset that you could add your previous sessions and re mix the audio.
