Tab to Transient LIKE Operation in Logic 8

Hi All,
Just wanted to let you know about something I kinda stumbled on which makes replacing things like drums easier in a way SIMILAR to tab to transient in Pro Tools. It's pretty much the same aside from the fact that you have to hit one extra key command before pasting the replacement sample in.
For example, lets say we have a snare track with excessive Hi-hat bleed, so we want to paste a sampled snare with less/no bleed over each hit:
Copy a suitable snare into the clipboard from wherever you want. (Helps if the start of the region is trimmed close to the start of the hit.)
Using the Marquee tool, select the area containing the hits to be replaced. ALL of it, not just the one hit, from the beginning to the end, you'll see why.
Then using the Shift+Right key command, snap to the first transient, or the first full hit of the snare you want to replace.
Then use the Go To Start of Selection command (The one extra keycommad vs PT), the Playhead will snap to the same transient as the Marquee selection. Then Paste in the new snare sample.
To move on to the next one, tap Shift+Right a couple of times until you're on the next transient, then Go To Start of Select, then Paste.
If you use the key command for Go To Start of Selection (Default on a Macbook is ****+Return), you can do this all from the keyboard and do it really quickly, it'll work on group tracks too.
Hope this helps someone......

It seemed pretty accurate to me.
Besides, why are we playing catchup? It's not a race, or a competition, it's software, everyone using logic made an informed decision to do so, so shouldn't feel cheated or like they got a raw deal because Digidesign release something new(ish).
I'm sure everyone who buys a PT LE system sits there and think, I wish I had a load of useful software instruments and proper midi programming, or more than 32 channels of audio once in a while.
Why let this get us down? It's only a matter of time before Logic has the same functionality, and all DAWS are so alike you can't pick one from the other. At least most of us haven't invested in expensive and very nearly obsolete audio processing cards like the PT HD gang!
Things like tab to transient and beat detective can easily be worked around if you take a different approach to things. If you NEED these functions go buy Protools, sign into the Digidesign forum and go mad on it!

Tab to transient & big ben

in pro tools it's called - tab to transient - is there a Logic 8 equivalent- &- what's the best way to group tracks for editing in the arrange window. - also ; if you don't mind -- i'm using a digi rack for a front end , can i get Logic to clock off my 'Big Ben ' ....
thank a lot
tutko

You can group the tracks in the mixer-page (click in the space above the pan button and above the automation mode area) and also set which parameters have to be linked: edit, select, pan, volume, mute...
If you select or edit regions in the arrange page all regions of the group will be affected.

I want move Firefox tabs to the bottom like opera
but the code of userChome.css
#content > tabbox { -moz-box-direction: reverse; }
does'nt work,
and tabmix can do this,but current version of tabmix is incompatible with Firefox 4.

You can get the development version of Tab Mix Plus which works with Firefox 4 from http://tmp.garyr.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10888

Like operator not passed to database for nvarchar(max)

From Crystal Reports 2008 I need to do a keyword search against a data type of nvarchar(max).
I am using the LIKE operator in my record selection formula.
When I do a SHOW QUERY the LIKE condition is omitted from the where clause.
This makes the report run so slow it is useless.
How can I do a keyword search against an nvarchar(max) data type?
Thanks,
Larry
CR Developer 12.2.0.290, Product type: Full
SQL Server 2008 r2

Sorry it wasn't clear what you are doing or why. I assumed you were using the LIKE in the record selection formula to filter on fields like CustomerID etc. which can be passed to the server. You want to filter based on the text in a Description type field field.
Yes that is going to be very slow having Crystal do it client side, means all of the data will be sent to the local work station and then on the second pass CR will start filtering.
You could try using a Command Object to use as the data source, CR should simply pass what ever SQL you type in. Copy your existing SQL and then create a new report and use a Command object and paste in the SQL, edit it to include the LIKE operator and see it that works for you.
Another option is to use a Stored Procedure with a parameter to do the searching, that will force it to do it Server side. DB servers will aways be more efficient at processing filters that ce will be.
When viewing the report can you not use the Search window, although that is after the fact so it too would mean all data has to come down first...?
Basically what is happening is CR is testing every word in the nvarchar field, CR isn't very optimized to do that kind of filtering client side and because it's more complex SQL we won't generate the proper syntax to pass it to the server. Also, Cr supports so many data sources and to build that logic into the basic report designer is very complex and not efficient, there are various DB tools that can do that kind of work and CR can connect to them, Universes, Data Integrator etc., those tools are designed to do this type of complex SQL generation.
Thank you

"Like" operator in Framework

Hi,
I was just wondering if there is any operator in OAFramework which is similar to "LIKE" operator in PL/SQL?
Thanks

Actually in my case, i cannot use PLSQL because, in the ReviewPage of my custom page, i need to check the list of all the approvals for which the page goes once submitted. In this process, i had to check for some names, some jobs and add extra information from the page based on the values i get and etc.
But i am glad that i could achieve this functionality with the "regionMatches" function for string. Below is the logic i used.
public boolean XXXMatch(String searchStr, String findStr )
int searchStrLength = searchStr.length();
int findStrLength = findStr.length();
boolean foundIt = false;
for (int i = 0; i <= (searchStrLength - findStrLength); i++)
if (searchStr.regionMatches(i, findStr, 0, findStrLength))
foundIt = true;
return foundIt;
if (!foundIt)
return foundIt;
return foundIt;
To test the above function, In the parameters, if we pass "Hello World how are you" as a parameter value for searchStr and "World" for the parameter value findStr, it will return true.
Thanks

Tab to transient and snap

Is there a tab to transient feature availiable like in Pro Tools? also when youn edit a section in the middle will the 2 left and right regions snap together after you delete the middle? thx..:)

Tab to transient means that the cursor moves inside the region on every discernible audio peak.
Sasy you have a simple beat: kick, then snare, then kick, then snare. As you press tab, the cursor would move to every peak on this beat; e.g., the kick, then the snare, then the kick, then the snare.
This is what the Apple Soundtrack utility does to divide every loop into slices so they can compressed into different tempos.

Can I use a LIKE operator in an IF statement in a column formula

This is what I have so far.
CASE WHEN Opportunity."Sales Type" LIKE '*New Acct' THEN 'Sale to NEW Customer' END
I want to display 'Sale to NEW Customer' if opportunity type contains the terms New Acct.

Try this:
CASE WHEN Opportunity."Sales Type" LIKE '%New Acct' THEN 'Sale to NEW Customer' END
The LIKE operator requires a % wildcard rather than the * wildcard.
Mike L.

Why the 'LIKE' operator takes so much time to run?

I have a table T with 3 columns and 3 indexes:
CREATE TABLE T
id VARCHAR2(38) NOT NULL,
fid VARCHAR2(38) NOT NULL,
val NVARCHAR2(2000) NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE T ADD (CONSTRAINT pk_t PRIMARY KEY (id,fid));
CREATE INDEX t_fid ON T(fid);
CREATE INDEX t_val ON T(val);
Then I have the following two queries which differ in only one place - the 1st one uses the '=' operator whereas the 2nd uses 'LIKE'. Both queries have the identical execution plan and return one identical row. However, the 1st query takes almost 0 second to execute, and the 2nd one takes more than 12 seconds, on a pretty beefy machine. I had played with the target text, like placing '%' here and/or there, and observed the similar timing every time.
So I am wondering what I should change to make the 'LIKE' operator run as fast as the '=' operator. I know CONTEXT/CATALOG index is a viable approach, but I am just trying to find out if there is a simpler alternative, such as a better use of the index t_val.
1) Query with '=' operator
SELECT id
FROM T
WHERE fid = '{999AE6E4-1ED9-459B-9BB0-45C913668C8C}'
AND val = '3504038055275883124';
2) Query with 'LIKE' operator
SELECT id
FROM T
WHERE fid = '{999AE6E4-1ED9-459B-9BB0-45C913668C8C}'
AND val LIKE '3504038055275883124';
Execution Plan
0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=ALL_ROWS (Cost=1 Card=1 Bytes=99)
1 0 TABLE ACCESS (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'T' (Cost=1 Card=1 Bytes=99)
2 1 INDEX (RANGE SCAN) OF 'T_VAL' (NON-UNIQUE) (Cost=4 Card=12)

I will for sure try to change the order of the PK and see whether there will be any impact to the performance.
In our application, val is much closer to a unique value than fid. In the example query, the execution plan showed that the index on val was indeed used in the execution of the query. That's why the 1st query took almost no time to return (our table T has more than 6 million rows).
I was hoping the 'LIKE' operator would utilize the t_val index effectively and provide similar performance to the '=' operator. But apparently that's not the case, or needs some tricks.

Like operator functionality

We have a simple select query which is using the 'Like' operator on a char(4) column.
In a oracle windows environment when we have a query such as:
select col1, col2, col3
from table1
where col1 like 'AB'
it returns everything which is = to 'AB' and doesn't seem to be including the trailing 2 spaces as would be stored becasue the column is char(4)
In a oracle unix environment when we the same query:
select col1, col2, col3
from table1
where col1 like 'AB'
it returns nothing...
It appears as if the version running on a windows environment is truncating the trailing 2 spaces when using the like expression but in a unix environment, it is not. Does anybody have any idea or clue what could be occuring or if there is some database setting which could cause this to occur?

Quote from Oracle Doc:
Character Values
Character values are compared using one of these comparison rules:
Blank-padded comparison semantics
Nonpadded comparison semantics
The following sections explain these comparison semantics.
Blank-Padded Comparison Semantics If the two values have different lengths, then Oracle first adds blanks to the end of the shorter one so their lengths are equal. Oracle then compares the values character by character up to the first character that differs. The value with the greater character in the first differing position is considered greater. If two values have no differing characters, then they are considered equal. This rule means that two values are equal if they differ only in the number of trailing blanks. Oracle uses blank-padded comparison semantics only when both values in the comparison are either expressions of datatype CHAR, NCHAR, text literals, or values returned by the USER function.
Nonpadded Comparison Semantics Oracle compares two values character by character up to the first character that differs. The value with the greater character in that position is considered greater. If two values of different length are identical up to the end of the shorter one, then the longer value is considered greater. If two values of equal length have no differing characters, then the values are considered equal. Oracle uses nonpadded comparison semantics whenever one or both values in the comparison have the datatype VARCHAR2 or NVARCHAR2.

LIKE operator is not working in SQL Query in XML file

Hi Gurus,
LIKE operator is not working in SQL query in XML template.
I am creating a PDF report in ADF using Jdeveloper10g. The XML template is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="WINDOWS-1252" ?>
<dataTemplate name="catalogDataTemplate" description="Magazine
Catalog" defaultPackage="" Version="1.0">
<parameters>
<parameter name="id" dataType="number" />
<parameter name="ename" dataType="character" />
</parameters>
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q1">
<![CDATA[
SELECT ename, empno, job, mgr from EMP where deptno=:id and ename LIKE :ename || '%']]>
</sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataStructure>
<group name="EmployeeInfo" source="Q1">
<element name="EmployeeName" value="ename" />
<element name="EMPNO" value="empno" />
<element name="JOB" value="job"/>
<element name="MANAGER" value="mgr" />
</group>
</dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>
if i pass the parameter value of :ename from UI, it doesn't filter. But if I give ename = :ename it retrieves the data. Can anyone help me why LIKE operator doesn't work here?
Appreciate your help,
Shyamal

Hi
Well for a start, you are doing some very strange conversions there. For example...
and to_char(a.msd, 'MM/DD/YYYY') != '11/11/2030'
and to_char(a.msd, 'MM/DD/YYYY') != '10/10/2030'If a.msd is a date then you should e converting on the other side ie.
and a.msd != TO_DATE('11/11/2030', 'MM/DD/YYYY')
and a.msd != TO_DATE('10/10/2030', 'MM/DD/YYYY')Also, you may want to take into consideration nothing being input in :P2_ITEM_NUMBER like this...
AND INSTR(a.item_number,NVL(:P2_ITEM_NUMBER,a.item_number)) > 0Is item number actually a number or char field? If it's a number, you want to explicitly convert it to a string for using INSTR like this...
AND INSTR(TO_CHAR(a.item_number),NVL(TO_CHAR(:P2_ITEM_NUMBER),TO_CHAR(a.item_number))) > 0?
Cheers
