Volume inconsistency between songs

I get a large variation in volume from song to song in iTunes, and it carries over when I burn a cd or export songs to my iPod. I've tried both the Soundcheck feature in iTunes and the iVolume freeware, but I still have this problem. Any solutions? BTW, I'm running OS 10.2.8 with iTunes 5 (this happened in earlier iterations as well).
Thanks,
Gary

Does the variation occur between songs on the same album, or do you notice it between songs from different albums? Audio cds are not all recorded at the same level, so some will sound louder than others. If you have the original audio cds for any two albums that have different loudness, try playing them in a regular cd player. If you notice volume differences between the original audio cds, then I would say iTunes is behaving normally.

Volume differences between songs

Okay. My mp3 files in iTUNES play fine. I have the Sound Check checked and they play at the same volume. The problem I have is when I load the songs to my iPOD, the volumes are not the same. Some songs are softer than others. And just using the volume control won't help. I'm using a dock and the line out jack and connecting it to a PA system.
I have tried unchecking Sound Check, indivually adjusting the volumes of each tune in iTUNES preferences. And before I drag the updated files to the iPOD, I go to its library and delete the files which are there. So I'm starting clean each time.
Still can't make it work.
What am I missing?

Did you remember to turn sound check on in the iPod (it is in the iPods settings
screen). iPod uses the sound check info from iTunes, but only if you tell the iPod to use it by turning that function on. Default is OFF.

Patrick--Hey, we're both from Massachusetts.
Thank you--I think it's working. This is a good thing. I use the iPod to supply background tracks so I can play guitar in clubs. I hadn't had the problem before so I don't know why it came up this time.
But it does seem to be fixed. Any other thoughts are appreciated.

Volume on music played back on pc varies between songs.

playback on Ipod is not an issue. but on pc playback the volumes vevels change between songs

when I go to the youtube, the WMP pauses the music by itself, and when I close the youtube, the WMP resumes the music byt itself!

Inconsistent volume levels from song to song

Hi guys. I've lurked here for the past week now and I haven't seen this complaint so I figured I would ask. I'm getting what seems to be inconsistent volume levels from song to song. On one song 70% volume seems loud but on the next I can kick the volume all the way up and it's not as loud. I've noticed this on the phone and through my truck which has a hardwired Ipod adapter.
I don't have the problem with the same library of tunes on my Gen V Ipod so I'm likened to believe it's a phone issue.
The problem is very noticable on my motorcycle as you have to find a sweet spot for the music to be loud enough to hear but not so loud as to hurt your ears. Last night on an hour ride it seemed as if some songs came through loud and clear and others were barely audible over the bike.
So anyone else? Other than this I have the typical problems with the low speaker/ headset volume and the Ipod software crashing when running Safari but I expected these things with a first gen product. Overall the phone is great and it's user interface makes my Ipod feel archaic. I'd put money on Apple releasing an Ipod in the near future with cover-flow and multitouch.

Thanks guys... That was indeed the problem. In fact I remember fiddling with this setting a couple days after buying the phone and I turned it on to see what it did. Not having immediately noticed any difference I completely forgot about the setting and didn't think to check it.
Problem solved.

Volume inconsistent after burning a CD

Hi: Even though my 'sound check' is turned on, my CD's are being burned with big variations in volume between songs. The songs in particular had burned just fine not that long ago and all of a sudden, they have gotten much quieter. I've redownloaded, and repaid for the songs, and it's still happening? Can anybody help??

Copy Channel strips between songs

Hi I am working on a mix but its spread over two songs, I want to copy the drums and bass channel strips plugins etc from one song to another. I know if I go to audio config I can copy paste the hole song settings but I only want the first 16 tracks with plugins and fader levels. I tried a simple copy paste on the channels from the enviroment but it didn't seem to work.......

Unfortunately, you have discovered a missing feature that Logic desperately needs, if it is to continue using the word "Pro" in it's title.
As you know, you can copy from the audio configuration window, but that will replace all other track assignments, plug-ins etc... not the intended result.
You can place those 16 tracks on their own environment layer, and import that layer into the second song, but that will only copy volume and panning assignments, not plug-ins, or output assignments.
It's my opinion, that in this particular situation, this is probably the best approach:
Save channel strip settings for the first 16 tracks. Open the second song, and load each tracks channel strip. It's not hard to do... just requires a lot of mouse clicks...
As for volume and pan settings, my advice would be to open both songs at the same time. arrange the first 16 tracks of song 1's mixer at the top of your screen, and the first 16 tracks of song 2 at the bottom of your screen.
Simply set all the volumes and pans on song two manually, by looking at what's in song 1.
One trick I would suggest: Before trying to open both songs at once, disable the audio driver from the Audio Hardware & Drivers window. This will save many minutes of the spinning beachball, while Logic tries to load all plug-ins, AI's, etc, from the second song. Since you're only opening them for a visual cue, you won't need the audio driver active for this task. Trust me, doing this will make it go very fast, and save you lots of aggravation, while switching between songs, and resizing the mixer windows to see what's going on.
Don't forget to turn the audio driver back on, when you're ready to actually hear anything.
The good news is, you'll probably have all 16 tracks set-up properly, faster than the time it took me to type all of this!
Hope that helps...

Volume difference between programs due to pulseaudio

Hello,
I recently had to install pulseaudio because Skype required it. So now I think every application is using pulseaudio... I used to use ALSA before.
Anyway, it seems that there is a volume difference between applications: I have to turn up my volume quite loud to hear music played by XMMS (with XMMS's slider already at max). But when then KDE makes an alert sound for a dialog, I almost jump out of my chair because of how loud it is!!
Even stranger is that withing XMMS, switching to a next song causes a volume difference as well that didn't use to be there.
With ALSA, all applications had more similar sound levels.
Is there some way to fix this with pulseaudio?
Thanks!

I so feel ya aardwolf!
I "switched" from alsa to pulseaudio a while ago, don't really remember what made it necessary for me, but anyhow. I've been through the same as you're going through these days. Unfortunately I haven't found any solutions.
There doesn't seem to be a way for either turning off the per application sound levels (well I guess that's the feature that justifies the need for an otherwise useless sound server, so "of course" that can't be turned off), nor a way for implementing a reliably working master slider.
Why do I say reliably working master slider? You can for example go to the output tab in pavucontrol, lock the channels together and use that as a master control. Or maybe not because all sorts of funny shannanigans are happening if you're doing that, such as sometimes it's working, other times it doesn't and other times these sliders jump to a random position. For example Amarok liked doing that on my machine: changing from one track to a different one sometimes caused the sliders to a much different random position and wrecking your nerves.
So I would suggest to get pavucontrol to be able to adjust the sound levels for every application, then get e.g. pulseaudio-ctl to raise/lower/mute all active applications sound levels at once. That's the closest to having a real master slider. Every so often you'll probably have to readjust your per application levels because this way only your currently running applications are getting adjusted. So for example your skype and xmms levels sit both at 80 percent. Skype is not running, xmms is running. You turn xmms down to 50percent and crank your speakers up. When you then start skype it'll be at 80 percent. Since you mentioned kde: the kde system sounds will always be at 100percent and always blow your ears off. So yeah, welcome to the new linux world where shitty bloated and unnecessary software is deemed the new standard to mimic the poor behaviour of other operating systems.
Alright before I get carried away too much: Good luck experimenting with pulseaudio. Maybe you will find the solution I couldn't find, I'll cross my fingers for you. Or get used to being able to adjust multiple sound levels and do so recursively (in pavucontrol playback, in pavucontrol output and in application - per application of course...). Or maybe run skype through wine (dunno if that's possible) and get rid of that unnecessary sound server - though I'm pretty sure that would only prolong things: eventually in a couple months you'll be forced to use pulseaudio again by some other program you're using. In any way: Get your frustration resistance up.
Good luck.

Inconsistency between catalog authoring tool & Search engine

Hi,
We are on CCM2.0 and SRM5.0 with catalog deployment in the same client as SRM.
In our implementation we are using master catalog and product catalog. We have very recently deleted around 65 items from our product catalog which is mapped to mater catalog and hence those 65 items are not found anymore in master catalog in CAT (Catalog authoring tool).
This master catalog when published, we expect that these 65 products should not be available for end users.
But end users can still see the deleted items through CSE (Catalog search engine). Thus there is data inconsistency between CAT & CSE.
Has anyone faced similar issue before if yes can you please share the same with us.

Run TCODE SE38 program /CCM/CLEANUP_MAPPING to look for errors/orphaned records in test mode.
If you want to clear out orphaned records uncheck the Test Mode but:
Warning: This program can slow down a production system as it clears out the memory buffers for user catalog searches and these have to be built up again by the users doing searches. This can be hours to days depending upon the size of your system and the number of users.
In Dev or UAt no problem.
Hope this helps?

Inconsistency between get-childitem -include and -exclude parameters

Hi,
Powershell 2.0
Does anyone else consider this a minor design bug in the Get-ChildItem command?
# create dummy files
"a","b","c" | % {$null | out-file "c:\temp\$_.txt"}
# this "fails", returns nothing
get-childitem c:\temp -include a*,b*
# this "works", returns desired files
get-childitem c:\temp\* -include a*,b*
# this "works", excludes undesired files
get-childitem c:\temp -exclude a*,b*
# this "fails", excludes undesired files BUT RECURSES sub-directories
get-childitem c:\temp\* -exclude a*,b*
I'm writing a wrapper script around the GCI cmdlet, but the inconsistency between the two parameters is problematic. My end user will surely just type a path for the path parameter, then wonder why -include returned nothing. I can't unconditionally
add an asterisk to the path parameter, since that messes up the exclude output.
I'm just wondering why Microsoft didn't make the parameter interaction consistent???
# includes desired files in the specified path
get-childitem -path c:\temp -include a*,b*
# excludes undesired files in the specified path
get-childitem -path c:\temp -exclude a*,b*
# combine both options
get-childitem -path c:\temp -include a*,b* -exclude *.log,*.tmp
# same as above, the asterisk doesn't matter
get-childitem -path c:\temp\* -include a*,b*
get-childitem -path c:\temp\* -exclude a*,b*
get-childitem -path c:\temp\* -include a*,b* -exclude *.log,*.tmp
# same as above, but explicitly recurse if that's what you want
get-childitem -path c:\temp\* -include a*,b* -recurse
get-childitem -path c:\temp\* -exclude a*,b* -recurse
get-childitem -path c:\temp\* -include a*,b* -exclude *.log,*tmp -recurse
If I execute the "naked" get-childitem command, the asterisk doesn't matter...
# same results
get-childitem c:\temp
get-chileitem c:\temp\*
If this isn't considered a bug, can you explain why the inconsistency between the two parameters when combined with the -path parameter?
Thanks,
Scott

The Get-ChildItem cmdlet syntax is horrific for advanced use. It's not a bug in the classic sense, so you shouldn't call it that. However, feel free to call it awful, ugly, disastrous, or any other deprecatory adjective you like - it really is
nasty.
Get-ChildItem's unusual behavior is rooted in one of the more 'intense' dialogues between developers and users in the beta period. Here's how I recall it working out; some details are a bit fuzzy for me at this point.
Get-ChildItem's original design was as a tool for enumerating items in a namespace -
similar to but not equivalent to dir and
ls. The syntax and usage was going to conform to standard PowerShell (Monad at the time) guidelines.
In a nutshell, what this means is that the Path parameter would have truly just meant Path - it would not have been usable as a combination path specification and result filter, which it is now. In other words
(1) dir c:\temp
means you wanted to return children of the container c:\temp
(2) dir c:\temp\*
means you wanted to return children of all containers inside
c:\temp. With (2), you would never get c:\tmp\a.txt returned, since a.txt is not a container.
There are reasons that this was a good idea. The parameter names and filtering behavior was consistent with the evolving PowerShell design standards, and best of all the tool would be straightforward to stub in for use by namespace
providers consistently.
However, this produced a lot of heated discussion. A rational, orthogonal tool would not allow the convenience we get with the dir command for doing things like this:
(3) dir c:\tmp\a*.txt
Possibly more important was the "crash" factor. It's so instinctive for admins to do things like (3) that our fingers do the typing when we list directories, and the instant failure or worse, weird, dissonant output we would get with a more pure Path
parameter is exactly like slamming into a brick wall.
At this point, I get a little fuzzy about the details, but I believe the Get-ChildItem syntax was settled on as a compromise that wouldn't derail people expecting files when they do (3), but would still allow more complex use. I think that this
is done essentially by treating all files as though they are containers for themselves. This saves a lot of pain in basic use, but introduces other pain for advanced use.
This may shed some light on why the tool is a bit twisted, but it doesn't do a lot to help with your particular wrapping problem. You'll almost certainly need to do some more complicated things in attempting to wrap up Get-ChildItem. Can you describe some
details of what your intent is with the wrapper? What kind of searches by what kind of users, maybe? With those details, it's likely people can point out some specific approaches that can give more consistent results.

Inconsistency between tbtco and tbtcs

Hello guys,
we have a big problem after our HWU upgrade.
We have copied the content of tbtco into a new table tbtco_copy before the upgrade to save all the job entries.
After this we have deleted the contant of tbtco. So we had no scheduled jobs for the HWU
After the HWU we have copied back the content of tbtco_copy into tbtco.
But now we have a inconsistency between tbtco and tbtcs. This means that all planed and released jobs are not starting (delay goes up).
How we can start this jobs << Removed >>

How can I eliminate the pause between songs on playback on the Nano?

I recently downloaded an album by Steve Reich that is intended to be played as one long uninterrupted song. The album is divided into tracks, however, and my iPod Nano always stops for a second or two between songs.
Is there anyway to get it to play them continuously without interruption?

This question is one that crops up a lot on these forums (it's one of the most frequently asked questions) and has been a major source of complaint for as long as the iPod has been in existence.
Currently the only way to eliminate the gap between songs is to import the cd as one track. You do this by using the “join cd tracks” option in the advanced menu of iTunes.
Make sure the tracks are in their correct order, and highlight those you wish to join.
No gaps, but the downside is that you will of course lose the ability to navigate between tracks, and the song info is also lost. The iPod will display the cd title in the song field in the “now playing” screen . You’ll also have one large file instead of a number of smaller ones.
Be aware also that playback of single large audio files can shorten battery playtime between charges.
If you would like to see gapless playback implemented to the iPod, add your voice to the many here.

I need to add a gap between songs when burning a CD

I just upgraded to iTunes 9.2.0.61, hoping that it would solve my problem. I need to add (yes, ADD) a gap between songs. I'm burning a CD to be used during a performance, and there's a reason that I need 10 seconds of silence after the first song. I believe in previous versions I could add a gap between songs...using Get Info, then Options, but now it just gives me a start and end time for songs. How can I add a 10 second gap between the first two songs?

Add a track consisting of 10 seconds of silence. I made you one in crystal clear MP3 stereo. You can get it here: http://rcpt.yousendit.com/907964971/c4d2c9e22762a8911f4e431a1e2a4e2c
Just put it in the library and then add it to your playlist wherever you need it.
iTunes lets you add a gap between songs, but only up to 5 seconds, and it has to be the same every time.

There is an inconsistency between the authentication mode of target web application and the source web application after migrating to claims

I've had my farm upgraded from SP2010 to SP2013 for over 6 months now and all is well, however, I was refreshing my staging environment from production and I noticed that one of the databases still shows these errors when I run test-spcontentdatabase:
Category : Configuration
Error : False
UpgradeBlocking : False
Message : The [SharePoint Web App] web application is configured with claims authentication mode however the content database you are trying to attach is intended to be used against
a windows classic authentication mode.
Remedy : There is an inconsistency between the authentication mode of target web application and the source web application. Ensure that the authentication mode setting in upgraded web application is the
same as what you had in previous SharePoint 2010 web application. Refer to the link "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=236865" for more information.
This doesn't make sense considering I converted the production web application to claims during the upgrade and then verified all sites were working with claims logins. I also verified that existing AD user identities were converted to claims by checking out
the database tables. Yet test-spcontentdatabase still thinks there is a mismatch here.
My farm is SP1 and no further CUs. The point of this particular refresh is so I can update to the November CUs in my test farm. Anyone else see this? Seems like it's a bug/safe to ignore because my stuff is working.
Thanks,
Aaron

Customise table inconsistency between ABAP Dictionary and the databas

Hi all,
I have encountered a problem where by, I was not able to activate a table due to inconsistency between ABAP Dictionary and the database.
After I run the SE14--> Check Database object. It has show that there is a missing Unique Index(Primary Index) at the Database Level, but at ABAP Dictionary it is there.
I have try to recreate the primary index at the Database level, but failed. Because one of the primary key field is been dropped from this table.
So now, may I know how can I still make this table Active again?
Is it save to folllow the following solution that I found on internet?
Syntax error in SDCC, table inconsistency between ABAP Dictionary and the database, transport error 8 during the generation of ABAP Dictionary. When you call Transaction SDCC, a termination occurs due to a putative syntax error because a table is not known or active. When you check this with the ABAP dictionary (SE11), you notice, that the table is active or inactive, however it is not possible to activate it. The activation might terminate with the error message 'Inconsistency between ABAP Dictionary and database'. A check of the affected object also delivers this error.
Solution
Proceed as follows:
Log on as user DDIC
Call Transaction SE14
Enter the affected table name and
select EDIT
In the following screen, choose Table -> Reconstruct
Confirm the execution
Call Transaction SE11
Enter the affected table name
Display
Activate
Thanks.

Task Flow Transaction Handling Inconsistent between JDeveloper R1 & R2.

We have a solution developed using Jdeveloper 11.1.2.1.0.
To describe the use case I will use the HR schema.
The user must be able to view Regions and navigate to Countries and Locations in a hierarchical way. At each level he must be allowed to view and maintain the detail of the current record at that level. The user must also be able to navigate directly to a level and perform a search to view the data and from there be allowed to to view and maintain the detail of the current record at that level.
So I have created the following design to achieve this and take into consideration that I need to reuse my task flows that maintain the data.
Business Services (Model Project)
1. HierarchyAM, containing Read Only VO’s of the various levels nested by association/view link.
2. Region + Countries + Locations
3. Search#Level#AM, A separate AM for each level, containing the Read Only VO per level.
4. Maintain#Level#AM, A Separate AM for each level, containing an updateable VO per level.
UI (View Controller Project)
I created the following BTF’s (To try and keep the post short as possible I will only provide detail for a single level to explain the issues)
*1. HiererchyBTF*
a.     Contains a fragment.
b.     Added RegionHierarchyBtf, CountryHierarchyBTF, LocationHierarchyBTF to the above fragment as dynamic regions.
c.     Task flow transaction <No Controller Transaction>, isolated.
*2. RegionHierarchyBTF. (The same BTF’s are created for each level in the hierarchy)*
a.     Contains a fragment.
b.     Exposed HierarchyAM<RegionRoVO>
c.     Task flow transaction <No Controller Transaction>, shared.
d.     Includes a call to the EditRegionBTF.
*3. SearchRegionBTF (The same BTF’s are created for each level in the hierarchy)*
a.     Contains a fragment.
b.     Exposed SearchRegionAM<RegionRoVO>
c.     Task flow transaction <No Controller Transaction>, isolated.
d.     Includes a call to the EditRegionBTF.
*4. EditRegionBTF*
a.     Contains a fragment.
b.     Exposed MaintainRegionAM<RegionVO>
c.     Task flow transaction <Use Existing Transaction if Possible>, isolated.
Runtime behaviour with above configuration.
1.     Running the HiererchyBTF and navigation the levels works in all versions.
2.     Calling an edit BTF allows me to edit the current record and successfully commit the data in all versions.
3.     Calling an edit BTF for the same record immediately thereafter, allows me to edit the record and commit the data successfully in all versions.
4.     Running any of search BTF’s and calling the edit BTF works in all versions.
Runtime behaviour and changing the EditRegionBTF task flow transaction to Shared.
1.     Running the HiererchyBTF and navigation the levels works in all versions.
2.     Calling an edit BTF allows me to edit the current record in the table and successfully commit the data in all versions.
3.     Calling an edit BTF for the same record immediately thereafter, allows me to edit the record and commit the data successfully in 11.1.1.4.0 & 11.1.1.6.0 only. If I perform the same scenario in 11.1.2.1.0 I receive the following exception.
a.     JBO-25003: Object MaintainLocationAM of type ApplicationModule is not found.
4.     Repeating the process, but after editing the first record, edit the second record in the table the error is not encountered. If, after successfully editing the second record and committing the data successfully, I again edit the first record I edited, I receive the same exception as in point 3.
5.     Running any of search BTF’s and calling the edit BTF works in all versions.
For the purpose of having a reusable edit task flow, I need to have the task flow transaction configuration as <Use Existing Transaction if Possible>, shared. This enables me to have the edit task flow as a parent as well as a child task flow and use the task flow functionality irrespective if it is controlling the transaction or not.
My questions are;
1. Is my design acceptable for the solution I am developing, I am more specifically questioning my separation of the AM’s to achieve loosely coupled task flows.
2. Is there a bug (I have done a search on MOS) that details this behaviour.
3. As, in my opinion, this is a common requirement, why is there inconsistency between the versions.
The demo for each version can be made available.
Regards.
Leon.

Hi Frank,
+1. Its the first sting I stumbled on reading your post. Unless the read-only view object AMs are shared across users (application scope) I don't see why you want to have them in a separate AM. I don't see a benefit in a purely read-only view object that is not backed up by entities and thus would follow Oracle's recommendation to always use entities with view objects.+
The read-only vo's are based on eo's. I separated the AM as the search use cases are independent of one another. So my understanding, from a performance perspective, is to not have all the read-only vo's of the entire hierarchy of products in a single AM if I am only going to access one of them. If I do not understand correctly, can you please assist me in better understanding.
+2. For sure this behavior doesn't sound right and should be filed. You may want to check 11.2.3 in case it has been fixed in there already.+
As posted by Chris, I have through MOS found that it has been fixed in a later version.
Btw.: "Calling an edit BTF for the same record immediately thereafter, allows me to edit the record and commit the data successfully" how do you call this task flow dynamic region or task flow call activity ?
The BTF's are called using a backing bean.
Regards
Leon.
