STP's meters disagreeing with each other, what's going on?

Sorry for the repost, but dyslexia boy messed up the title of the last post.
The other day I came across a free volume meter filter and tried it out in STP. The funny thing is its peaks didn't agree with the peaks in STP's mixer. So then I opened up STP's MultiMeter filter and another free meter filter in the Output 1,2 or Master output. All of the meters agreed perfectly except STP's mixer meter, which always had peaks higher than the other meters. Tried the same thing in other tracks in the mixer. The filters always agree with eachother and they agree with the mixer on some tracks yet disagree on others.
So, I see 3 possibilities:
1- I'm doing something wrong or don't understand how something works.
2- Something is wrong with STP's mixer
3- Something is wrong with all the filters (highly unlikely)
Generally in these matters I find it's my fault, but I'm at a loss here. Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Thanks ahead of time for any help!

Sorry for the delay, had a crisis at work and haven't been free to do anything else.
Anyway, I ran a few tests and came up with some interesting results. I made a -12 db test tone like you told me, jimi5150 , and opened it in STP. The meters for the track read -11 db, close to what is should be. However the meters for the mixer read -5 db. This is in a new multitack project with no volume gain added to the track or the mixer. Weird.
Then I tried using the free filter meters and STP's multimeter. I dropped these filters in the track's filter area. The free filters were exactly -12 where as the multimeter bounced around in the visual but read a consistant -11 db.
I then repeated the test using the filters in the mixer rather than in the track. They all read exactly what they had read in the track, and not what the mixer was reading (which was -5 db). Also weird.
So now I'm coming to the conclusion that the STP's meters are not to be trusted in general and the Mixer's meters especially.
Am I wrong about this? It just doesn't make any sense to me. You wouldn't think metering would be a hard thing to get right.

  • BODS / SAP : what set-ups are required for communicating with each other ?

    Hi.
    There is a new SAP system
    And there is a new BODS installation.
    Both on independent server machines but on the same lan network.
    On the test system of BODS. We tried to see how the communication happens with SAP.
    While we try some test jobs by trying to pull a simple table on SAP R/3
    In Dataflow, we used simple SAPR/3 ABAP flow. And put it into target database thro query transformation.
    In the datastore,
    We used the Generate and Execute option,
    with a path on the local directory of BODS server for creating the ABAP program and the dat file.
    However,
    We are always getting error on batch job schedule.
    Although the user is having rights on the R/3 table
    And can login into SAP R/3 system and check the table.
    Still we get an error saying Databstore unabel to connect to R/3 system. Check for user login etc.
    For anyone whose login we use. We get the error.
    However, if i directly generate the code on the ABAP flow (without running the job),
    make the program available on R/3 system.
    and then run the job as execute preloaded
    this works fine without any error.
    and we are able to see the data in the target table.
    Now both the systems are new.
    And am not aware of the initial set-ups which are required for communication between SAP / BODS.
    Are WE missing something on the SAP side setups - for generate and execute option to be used?
    Is there anything specific to be done for ease of the communication between SAP server and BODS server in this regard.
    Can anyone share some inputs on this.
    Actually for any user with full admin rights too, on the sap side, if we use the user login for R/3 connectivity for this particular "generate and execute" option,  it errors out after nearly 10 minutes. Then the error says, login info not correct.
    So basically, the communication channel by itself between SAP R/3 and BODS seems to be locked somewhere.
    If anyone with SAP admin expertise - can help or advise on this.
    Many thanks

    Getting data out of R/3 requires two distinct setup tasks, and they don't have much to do with each other.
    The first basic task is to get the little ABAP extraction programs loaded and run in R/3.  You can pre-load them and then call them, or generate, upload, and execute them all on-the-fly, at BODS runtime.  During development, use "Generate and Execute" for your ABAP.
    Once that's done, you have four different choices to get the data back: "Direct download", "Shared directory", FTP, and "Customer Transfer". Normally, you'll use either FTP or "Shared directory".  Refer to the documentation (the BODS SAP Supplement) for a description of all this.
    In all cases (or at least, quite certainly, using the FTP and Shared Directory methods), the ABAP extraction programs are directed to plop their output as flat files in the "Working directory on SAP server."  For testing, you can look in that folder to see if any flat files are appearing when you submit an ABAP data flow.  If not, then either 1) your ABAP program isn't getting in there (a Basis admin should be able to tell you), or 2) it's not running (ditto), or 3) it's running but unable to generate the output file (ditto), because a) SAP isn't permitted to write to that folder, or b) the folder doesn't exist (it needs to be defined from the perspective of the SAP server).
    If you do see files appear in the "Working directory on SAP server" when you run a BODS job w/ an ABAP dataflow, then the problem is that BODS can't fetch them.  If you're using the "Shared directory" method, which is suitable for and often used in all-Windows environments, then the account under which the Job Server in question is running must have access to the "Working directory on SAP server," but this time from the perspective of the Job Server.  So if, for instance, SAP was directed to put the flat files on a local folder, say, "E:\USR\SAP\BODS", then you might want to share this folder out as, for instance,
    sapdev1\bods (for an SAP host called "sapdev1"), and then enter "
    sapdev1\bods" in the "Application path to shared directory" field, in your SAP datastore configuration.  If your Job Server service is logging-in as "Local System," though, it won't be able to get there -- it needs to log-in as an AD domain account w/ rights to that share.  Get it?  Try logging in to your BODS job server computer with the AD "service account" setup for use by the Job Server service, and try to open a file on the "Application path to shared directory". If you can't, then BODS won't be able to get data from ECC, either.  FTP works similarly -- if you're using that and having trouble, please re-post.

  • New bug in 8.02 - regions confused with each other

    So, I just updated to 8.02, and loaded up a recent project that was half finished (bad idea).
    Now I have some strange bugs going on that I never had before, and they are basic issues.
    My audio regions keep getting confused with each other.
    I have an audio region that I can't open in the sample editor. When I double click on it, the sample editor will bring up the last region I edited, not the new one. I've re-named the region, deleted it and re-added it to the arrange window, but this region will not open in the sample editor.
    I can see it in my media bin, and preview it there, and it plays in my arrangement no problem, but I can't get it to open in the sample editor. In fact sometimes when I click on it, with the media window open, I can see another sample being 'selected' in the media window instead of the proper audio region.
    Scott

    finally i find someone else with the same prob, o already post into apple.com too
    yes here the same, bug new in 8.0.1, cause on logic 8.0.0 all works fine (except some click noise when you pre-listen a file in autoloop)
    however here what i can say to you (it's 3 days i'm studyng this cause i make a massive use of ultrabeat)
    - no matter both power pc / intel soffer of this bug
    - i try to update to leopard from my 10.4.11 (same bug) tryin a new os installation (same bug), tryn without audio card and driver (same bug)
    so i really don't know how to solve it, cause there are only few people that have this problem

  • Both can connect to test sites but not videochat with each other

    I am using a 2GHz PPC iMac on 10.4.6 with external iSight. I can see the Apple ad from one of the test sites. My wife is using a G4 PowerBook running the latest Panther OS with external iSight. She is in a hotel but can also see the Apple ad from the test site. When she was home, we could videochat over Bonjour.
    But, while she is in the hotel out of town, we couldn't videochat with each other. Whether one initiated or the other did, we both get the "XXX failed to respond" message even though we obviously did accept the videocall.
    If we both can videochat with the test sites, how come we cannot videochat with each other?
    Given the above, I hope some experts can rule out a bunch of stuff and let me know the finite (and small) set of potential reasons affecting our situation so that I can work on resolving this efficiently.
    What could be the likely problem?
    On my side, I use an Apple AEBS that uses DHCP and NAT but my iMac is manually set to 10.0.1.201. I have set the ports in Firewall but even when I turned off Firewall it did not work.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    Hi Heng-Yee Yong,
    The test sites are most likely set to have the ports open by UPnP which does not use NAT.
    If you modem is routing and is using Port Forwarding and the Airport is as well then you have two lots of NAT going on at your end.
    I would Open Airport Admin Utilty (Applications/Utilities) and log on to the Airport
    Go to the Network tab.
    Deselect Distributing Addresses which wll trun off NAT in the Airport and make it a Wireless access device.
    This means your computer will have to take an IP form the Modem.
    This may not be rquired if the modem id is Bridge mode itself as this measn it is not routing and all port will be open without the use of NAT.
    This App can help identify if NAT is a problem
    http://bleu.west.spy.net/~dustin/projects/natcheck.xtp
    Or at least whether you have Consistent NAT or not.

  • My husband and I each have iphones, how can we share the contact and calender info we have have in our iclouds with each other?

    My husband and I each have an iphone 4S, how can we share the contact and calender info we have in our iclouds with each other?

    You can make one or more calendars of one iphone sharable and the other user will be able to have those sharable calanders synced.  Unfortunately, you can't do that with contacts.  But you could go to the computer account used by you or your husband, perform a backup of the contacts (see the file menu), copy the file to the other account used to sync the other iphone, and restore.  It's a manual process that has to be performed periodically, but doable.
    The other method is for each of you to use the same iCloud ID and have both iphones synced to be identical.  But I don't recommend that otherwise you'll each get the same text messages and who knows what else.

  • Link two LRT224 with each other using VPN

    What's the best way to connect two LRT224 with each other, which are in two different citys?
    Open VPN or IPSec?
    I think Gateway to Gateway should be the right mode, but I am very unsure with the lot of settings ...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try the EasyLink VPN feature of LRT214/LRT224, which simplifies the site-to-site VPN setup.
    http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=03cf456383fc4d958cf918110c7fcd42_How_to_configure_...
    EasyLink VPN works in the following way conceptually.
    1. At the primary site, enable EasyLink VPN Server (inbound tab on the Web GUI) and create an account (username/password) for each remote site.
    2. At a remote site, enable EasyLink VPN Client (outbound tab on the Web GUI), and enters the matching account credentials (username/password).
    3. The remote site will automatically reach out to the primary site to establish an IPsec tunnel.
    Note: LRT224 can support up to five EasyLink VPN peers in a star VPN topology.

  • How do I enable two wireless clients to communicate with each other?

    I have a WRT54GL with the latest firmware.  I have two computers which are both connected to the router, with IP addresses assigned via DHCP.  Neither has a firewall running.  I cannot get them to communicate with each other -- even ping doesn't work.  I can ping the router itself using the IP address assigned to it on the WAN side by my ISP.   Both computers have no problem reaching the internet through the router.
    What settings on the router will enable the communication to occur?  I can't find anything in the router's user interface which appears to control this.

  • Why instanses randomly exchanging colors with each others.

    I have a trouble with Instances of movieclip loaded by AS3

    After adding 5 of them in scene I trying to change colors of
    them by using colorTransform. And it's works fine.
    But after that I change x,y coordinates of them in loop.
    Kinda moving... And, instances start to swap their colors with each
    other at some point of their way. I traced color offsets for
    specified MC, and in numbers it's doesn't change they're colors. It
    seams like flash itself, when rendering, think that this objects
    are the same, and draw them like he wants. How to avoid this? Even

  • IPod as a conduit to sync iCal and Outlook 2003 with each other?

    I am able to synchronize my work Outlook 2003 calendar and home Mac iCal with the iPod in two separate files on the iPod. I can see them both if I select "All". My questions are:
    1. What should I do to sync the PC and the Mac with the same file on the iPod?
    2. Is it possible to snychronize the iCal and Outlook with each other via the iPod?
    Thanks,
    Iris
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   PC/XP Pro

    If you mount your iPod on your Mac, navgate to the iPod Calendars folder and double-click on an ics file it will import the calendar into iCal. So you can sync from the PC to the iPod to iCal uni-directionally. If Outlook 2003 can import an ics file then you should be able to sync the other way as well. However, in both cases you will essentially be copying over one calendar with another, not really synchronizing.

  • 2 J2EE RI servers which communicate with each other

    Hi all,
    I'm wondering whether the following scenario is possible, and if so, of course I would like to now how I have to achieve it.
    I want to run two j2ee ri application servers on two different machines. What I want, is that the applications on the two different servers can communicate with each other.
    Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

    Greetings,
    that does the lookup, so I have the bean clasees in
    the classpath of the project (is that what you
    ment?).In addition to the bean classes, the client needs the stub files generated by deploytool - the reason for the ClassCastException is due to that the cast actually gets made against the server stub(s) which, in this case, isn't available to the client. The stubs are generated during deployment and have the same name as your interfaces with the suffix '_impl' (implementation). The first dialog of the deployment wizard has the option to "Return client jar" - select it (a checkbox) and add the resulting jar file (has the same name as your .ear file with the ending 'Client.jar'), to your client's CLASSPATH (just mount it as a filesystem in Forte4J ;). This file has the stubs along with the rest of your bean's associated classes.
    Can you help? I'm realy stuck.I hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • Two ear file communicating with each other

    HI,
    I have one doubt,
    I Have two ear files (two webservices actually) deployed succesfully in the same application server (Weblogic7.0). Let us say them a.ear and b.ear
    In a.ear there are class say A.class and B.class. In B.java file there is a staic HashMap which stores some object based on some id. Also in B.java there is static method which takes the id as a parameter and return the corrospojnding object stored in the static hasmap.
    In b.ear file there class say B.class and C.class. Note that this ear file has its own copy of B.class file. In C.java file i create an object (though i dont need create being it a static method) of B.java and calls the static object passing it the id and expecting it that it will return me the object stored in the Hashmap. it returns me null though it has the objects stored for that id.
    Is it because both ear files has their own copy of B.class. but i though that that they are running in the same jvm in application server so it should not be a problem. if this is the reason then my problem will be solved if i put them in same ear file.
    Can anybody put his insights into his experiences and lemme know what is the cause of problem and solution and for my knowledge why it is happening.
    Best Regards,
    Akhil Nagpal

    You're right that the two have different copies of the class. This is because the EJB container uses a different classloader for different applications, to prevent statics clashing with each other and other related security reasons.
    Usually if you want to communicate from one to the other, you would use the EJB mechanism itself. The JNDI names should be global (from simple tests I did in the past, this seems to be the case) so that one application can look up an EJB from the other.

  • HT2477 Are documentS created with Microsoft office for windows and Microsoft office for mac are compatible with each other

    Are documents created with Microsoft office for windows and Microsoft office for mac are compatible with each other?

    As with a lot of software, it depends on the version of Word, and what features the author used.
    Technically, Office 2010 for Windows and 2011 for Mac are supposed to be feature compatible. As are Office 2007 for Windows, and 2008 for Mac.
    However, if a person using Office 2010 / 2011 used a feature that only exists in that version and sends the file to someone using Office 2007 / 2008, they would very likely have trouble opening the file, or having it display as intended.

  • How do I Help Apple Care Stop Warring with Each Other and Fix the Problem with My iPhone that They Acknowledge Creating?

    How Do I Help Apple US & Apple Europe Stop Warring With Each Other And Fix The Problem They Created?
    PROBLEM
    Apple will not replace, as promised, the iPhone 5 (A1429 GSM model) that they gave me in London, UK, with an iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model).
    BACKGROUND
    My iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model) was purchased this year in September on an existing Verizon Wireless (VZW) line using an upgrade. The purchase took place in California and the product was picked up using Apple Personal Pickup through the Cerritos Apple Retail Store. I will refer to this phone at my "original" phone.
    The original phone was taken into the Apple Store Regent Street in London, England, UK on November 15, 2012. The reason for this visit was that my original phone's camera would not focus.
    The Apple Store Regent Street verified there was a hardware problem but was unable to replace the part.
    The Apple Store Regent Street had me call the US AppleCare. At first they denied support, but then a supervisor, name can be provided upon request, approved the replacement of my original phone with an iPhone 5 (A1429 GSM model) as a temporary solution until I got back in the US. And approved that the GSM model would be replaced with a CDMA model when I came back to the US. I will refer to the GSM model as the "replacement". They gave me the case number --------.
    The Apple Store Regent Street gave me the replacement and took the original. The first replacement did not work for reasons I do not understand. They switched out the replacement several times until they got one that worked on the T-Mobile nano SIM card that I had purchased in England, UK. Please refer to the repair IDs below to track the progression of phones given to me at the Apple Store Regent Street:
    Repair ID ----------- (Nov 15)
    Repair ID ----------- (Nov 16)
    Repair ID ----------- (Nov 16)
    The following case number was either created in the UK or France between November 15 to November 24. Case number -----------
    On November 19, 2012, I went to France and purchased an Orange nano SIM card. The phone would not activate like the first two repair IDs above.
    On November 24, 2012, I went to the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps. The Genius told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault. They had me call the AppleCare UK.
    My issue was escalated to a tier 2 UK AppleCare agent. His contact information can be provided upon request. He gave me the case number -----------.
    The UK tier 2 agent became upset when he heard that I was calling from France and that the France Apple Store or France AppleCare were not helping me. He told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault.
    The UK tier 2 agent said he was working with engineers to resolve my problem and would call me back the next day on November 25, 2012.
    While at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps, a Genius switched the phone given to from repair ID ----------- with a new one that worked with the French nano SIM card.
    Also, while at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps, I initiated a call with AppleCare US to get assistance because it seems that AppleCare UK was more upset that France was not addressing the issue rather than helping me. I have email correspondance with the AppleCare US representative.
    A Genius at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps switched the replacement with a new GSM model that worked on the French SIM card but would not work if restored, received a software update, or had the SIM card changed. This is the same temporary solution I received from the Apple Store Regent Street in the UK.
    By this point, I had spent between 12-14 hours in Apple Store or on the phone with an AppleCare representative.
    Upon arriving in the US, I went to my local Apple Store Brea Mall to have the replacement switched with a CDMA model. They could not support me. He told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault. My instructions were to call AppleCare US again.
    My call with AppleCare US was escalated to a Senior Advisor, name can be provided upon request, and they gave me the case number -----------. After being on the phone with him for over an hour, his instructions were to call the Apple Store Regent Street and tell them to review my latest notes. They were to process a refund for a full retail priced iPhone 5 64BG black onto my credit card so that I could use that money to buy a new iPhone 5 64GB black at the Apple Store Brea Mall to reoslve the problem.
    The Apple Store Regent Street did not process my refund. He, name can be provided upon request, told me that the AppleCare US did not do a good job reviewing my case, that they were incapable of getting to the bottom of it like they were, and instructed me to call AppleCare US and tell them to review this case number and this repair id. I asked if he read the notes from the AppleCare US Senior Advisor and he would not confirm nor deny. When I offered to give him the case number he accepted but it seemed like would do no good. Our call was disconnected. When I tried calling back the stores automated system was turned on and I could not get back through.
    Now I have the full retail price of an iPhone 5 64GB black CDMA on my credit card and Apple will not process the refund as they said they would.
    I've, at this point, spent between 14-16 hours at Apple Stores or on the phone with AppleCare representatives, and still do not have the problem resolved.
    SOLUTION
    AppleCare US and AppleCare Europe need to resolve their internal family issues without further impacting their customers.
    Apple is to process a refund to my credit card for the cost of a full retail priced iPhone 5 64GB black.
    DESIRED OUTCOMES
    I have an iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model) that works in the US on VZW as it did before I received the replacement phone in the UK.
    Apple covers the cost of the solution because I did not create the problem.
    Apple resolves their internal issue without costing me more time, energy, or money.
    This becomes a case study for AppleCare so that future customers are not impacted like I have been by their support system.
    Does anyone have recommendations for me?
    Thank you!
    <Edited by Host>

    Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
    Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?
