Suggestion for a very good mastering tool for Au?

Title says all. I am particularly devoted to piano recordings. Many thanks for your contribution.

iZotope's Ozone. Quite a bit of it is already built into Audition already - it's the esoteric stuff that isn't. And unless you have a carefully set up, calibrated, monitoring system in an acoustically controlled environment, it's very easy to do more harm than good to recordings.

Kappy's Personal Suggestions About Mac Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utility is: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior for defragmentation of older drives, disk repair, disk scans, formatting, partitioning, disk copy, and benchmarking.
Four outstanding sources of information on Mac maintenance are:
1. OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
2. Mac maintenance Quick Assist
3. Maintaining Mac OS X
4. Mac Maintenance Guide
Periodic Maintenance
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) See Mac OS X- About background maintenance tasks. If you are running Leopard or later these tasks are run automatically, so there is no need to use any third-party software to force running these tasks.
If you are using a pre-Leopard version of OS X, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced after Tiger. (These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion and should not be installed.)
Defragmentation
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive except when trying to install Boot Camp on a fragmented drive. Malware Protection
As for malware protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. Starting with Lion, Apple has included built-in malware protection that is automatically updated as necessary. To assure proper protection, update your system software when Apple releases new OS X updates for your computer.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection:
1. Mac Malware Guide.
2. Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware
3. Macintosh Virus Guide
For general anti-virus protection I recommend only using ClamXav, but it is not necessary if you are keeping your computer's operating system software up to date. You should avoid any other third-party software advertised as providing anti-malware/virus protection. They are not required and could cause the performance of your computer to drop.
Cache Clearing
I recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, Mountain Lion Cache Cleaner 7.0.9, Maintenance 1.6.8, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Corrupted cache files can cause slowness, kernel panics, and other issues. Although this is not a frequent nor a recurring problem, when it does happen there are tools such as those above to fix the problem.
If you are using Snow Leopard or earlier, then for emergency cleaning install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. (AppleJack works with Snow Leopard or earlier.)
Installing System Updates or Upgrades
Repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
Update your backups in case an update goes bad.
Backup and Restore
Having a backup and restore strategy is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your computer. Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. You can never have too many backups. Don't rely on just one. Make several using different backup utilities. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
     1. Carbon Copy Cloner
     2. Get Backup
     3. Deja Vu
     4. SuperDuper!
     5. Synk Pro
     6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance and backup and restore.
Always have a current backup before performing any system updates or upgrades.
Final Suggestions
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity or 20 GBs, whichever is greater, as free space. Avoid installing utilities that rely on Haxies, SIMBL, or that alter the OS appearance, add features you will rarely if ever need, etc. The more extras you install the greater the probability of having problems. If you install software be sure you know how to uninstall it. Avoid installing multiple new software at the same time. Install one at a time and use it for a while to be sure it's compatible.

Most if not all maintenance is for troubleshooting problems. If your computer is running OK, then there isn't really a thing you need to do except repair the hard drive and permissions before installing any new system updates.

Good Development tools for j2ee

Dear all,
i am new to J2EE, i think it is very difficult to develop and debug j2ee app.
Since, i need to open the j2ee server, deployment tools, text editor, command line for compiled. So many things, moreover when each time i changed a java bean or servlet, i need to open the command line to compile it again, then use the deployment tools to redeploy to see the result. This is my development practices for j2ee. I don't know it is wrong or not, Do anyone have any other suitable practice to develop j2ee, or any other good developmen tools? thanks you

Actually if u take .net only 1 frame work 1 server 1 tool for database connectivity
but J2EE is a open source so there would be
multiple frame work, .....
more choices and every one alter anything according to their wish
so more confusions more problems more maintenance more jobs ...
let me come to the point
there are many IDE's for J2EE
eclipse, netbeans, ...
u can use those things ... but i dont know whether those things can satisfy u
Regards,
Siva, Bangalore, India.

Suggest me the good binding tool for axis2

Dear Experts,
Please tell me which binding tool is good. Right now i am using axis2, rpc client for consuming my webservices. It is giving some problem when passing hibernate beans having one-many mappings as objects. for ADB it is working fine. JiBX is giving problem when compiling it self.
Thanks
Ramesh

ADB is fast but the generated API is difficult to use. It's the default in Axis2. I prefer to use Apache Spring Beans since the API of the generated classes is much more elegant and easily understood.

This is a Very Good Mastering App - Free!

Hi there ...
I recently discovered this app. I used it on my already mastered stereo GarageBand files and noticed a very professional result ...
Especially on a funk number ... there is more punch, presence, and eveness of dynamics ... but not robbed of them ..
It is very subtle and transparent ... but obviously quite powerful ...
I have not yet used it on an umastered track ... but I assume the results would be even more dramatic ...
It is a combination of compression .. normalization .. and limiting ...
Have a look at ...

I'm working on a job app, and they ask for personal references, not former employers or family. This is kind of hard for me as I am putting internships, some volunteer work, my consulting down as experience. I have letters of recommendation from 2 clients, and one place I interned at (as the other is where I'm applying).
I'm just not sure what I should do for personal references maybe use a teacher or two from college, maybe a friend or classmate? A friend or neighbor maybe I did some small computer job for maybe? I don't know if I need to somehow make it tech related or they are looking more for something else in these reference.

What to do for getting a good battery backup for E...

I had brought the E6 after a convincing conversation at the Nokia Priority Partner shop and the executive there told me that E6 is a smartphone and also gives a good battery backup. Only on this condition I bought this new phone but to my misfortune this does not have a good battery backup. Everyday morning I need to charge my battery or the phone is dead. This is very much annoying as well as disappointing. I even suffered software issues with my E6. Thrice I needed to get its software reinstalled and even now having issues with the same. The priority centre only tells each time that you get the software reinstalled and your E6 will work fine. But I'm surprised that E6 only borrows my time to get it checked on the go.
No doubt this phone is one of the best which Nokia has ever brought, but, still if it could help me sort this issue then I would rank E6 to be the best in its class.

Which country did you buy your phone in?
There are many posts dealing with this issue and steps to be taken to increase battery life.
Some important ones are:
1. Switch off 3G if you do not need it.
2. Reduce the mail retrieval frequency if you have configured email accounts.
3. Switch off automatic WiFi scanning.
4. Reduce number of homescreens.
5. Close any background application that you do not need.
6. Switch to power saving mode when you do not actively use the phone for longer periods.

You might want to read Ready to move on from Aperture or iPhoto? | The Lightroom Queen
Naturally, this does not import EVERYTHING that is in Aperture, some concepts in Aperture simply do not exist in Lightroom, and other Aperture features are approximated by similar Lightroom tools, rather than being an exact match.
I can change many parameters and then cancel one or more of them. If I import my Aperture's library with many projects, I wonder if this compatibility is possible ?
This has nothing to do with importing from Aperture. Yes, in Lightroom, if you set the exposure to +0.5, and then you want to undo it, you simply set the exposure back to zero.

Can you share the source code for Customer ToughDay stress test tool?

Hello,
I would like to try Customer ToughDay tool (http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/testing/tough-day.html) for load testing of our author instances of CQ5. While I am able to execute the application, the logging with log4j seems to be configured incorrectly.
Can you share the source code for toughday-5.5.jar? I think it can be a very good starting point for those of us who are new to CQ5 and need to load test it.
Thank you!

Hi,
I don't believe there are any differences between the two versions. But you can check the source code for the Numeric Limit Test in TestStand\Components\NI\StepTypes\CommonSubsteps. But the main part of the step is the Code Module and this bit the users supplies this.
What has prompted this question?
