What determines import speed?

I'm digitizing my CD collection, computer was importing around 8x-10x speed, then dropped to .6x speed when I put in a new disc! This happend 2 or 3 times already...is there a setting I forgot to check? Or does import speed change depending on the cd?
Thanks for the help!

Do you have error correction on in the settings? Not usually needed, as most disks import OK. That will slow it down. Your DVD drive could be getting old or they could have been harder to copy disks.

  • What Determines download speed using Wi-Fi on 4S?

    When downloading using Wi-Fi in a home or hotel, the speed is determined by the underlying carrier for the Wi-Fi, not the carrier for the 4S, correct?

    Well, the most important thing is the ability to make/receive calls. 85% dropped calls is certainly unacceptable. If at your house only, ask AT&T about giving you one of these:

  • Full backup ( ~ 1 TB ) using external HD - speed USB vs. Firewire vs. eSATA  - what are relative speeds - how to install eSATA on mid-2010 Mac Pro desktop ( dual hex-core processors)_

        Hi All,
         I'm trying to resume regular scheduled Full backup ( ~ 1 TB ) of drives using external HD (to allow off-site redundant backup storage) .
         What are relative speeds of USB vs. Firewire vs. eSATA ?
         I suspect eSATA connection may be considerably faster … how to install eSATA on mid-2010 Mac Pro desktop ( dual hex-core processors)?
          ( The quicker and easier backup protocol is, the more likely one is to use it to backup on a routine repetitive basis.)
    Thanks

    Adding a USB 3.0+eSATA PCIe card, which The hatter mentions, is the best solution that I've found. See http://eshop.macsales.com/item/CalDigit/FASTA6GU3/. The card is not cheap, but the USB 3.0 works flawlessly (which can't be assumed; ask me how I know) and the eSATA connection allows booting from the connected drive. Grant Bennet-Alder's point about HD speed is important to consider; in addition, the size of the individual files being backed up and where on the backup disk they're going will affect overall transfer speed. For example, using the USB 3.0 connection on that CalDigit card going to a Toshiba 3TB external, the transfer rate for a big file (say a virtual machine file) from an internal SSD boot drive was about 145 MB/sec while a bunch of little files might drop to 30 MB/sec and both rates decrease as an inner partition on the external is used. All told, a nearly 700 GB backup took under 1.5 hours. Using a HD as the source added almost an extra hour, though a WD external was used for that. Using a WD green drive plugged into this http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/FWU3ES2HDK/ with an eSATA connection took about 2.5 hours also, but that was bootable whereas the USB 3.0 connection is not.
    Another point to consider is that USB 3.0 is ubiquitous on PC's now so there's lots of price competition for externals; not so much for eSATA externals.

  • How do i determine the speed of a sample

    I want to know if there is a way to determine the speed of a sample that i want to match in logic.

    Eriksimon wrote:
    A loop is not a sample, though a sample can be looped, in which case one can call it a looped sample. What would a sampled loop be? The recording of a piece of a loop that is playing?
    A Loop would be a phrase.
    A sample would be a single note.
    Just to avoid a futile debate: yes, in the broad (semantic) sense a sample can be a loop too.
    These are not laws (I think), but customs.
    I think your customs regarding samples and "sampling" are stuck in 1982 hip-hop.
    To further muddy the waters: Almost any non-percussive sample played via a keyboard (remember when "samplers" used to be keyboards?) is also looped at some point.

  • LR 1.3 import speed

    Are there preferences or some other settings that can be adjusted to significantly improve the import speed?
    On a system with an e6700 processor, SATA mirror drives, and 4GB of memory running XP64 - I dump a dozen or so directories with around 9500 .dng files total, and LR takes forever to get them imported... This thing has been sitting here churning for over 2 hours and its still not done......
    Images, cache, swapfile, and product are all on separate spindles, so I presume there's got to be some setting (or settings) I have dreadfully wrong for things to be this slow... So, what do I change to speed this up 'cause this is only about 20% of what I'm organizing and I'd rather not have LR take a week to just import the images?

    Since LR is STILL churning I can't look at the preferences, but I thought there was something that told it to just use whatever was in the imported image? If so, shouldn't this get rid of this insanely long process of rendering? Or is this just one of those things I'll have to start when I go to bed and hope its managed to do a few thousand images by morning?...
    Are ALL these tools this poor performing? I haven't tried this in iView or one of the others, but if they're significantly faster I can see dumping LR back on the shelf until something gets done to improve this.

  • Aperture 3.3 Import Speed from CF Card

    Interesting import speed comparison vs Lightroom and Photo Mechanic from apertureexpert.com:
    http://www.apertureexpert.com/tips/2012/6/19/import-browse-test-aperture-vs-ligh troom-vs-photo-mechanic.html
    I am usually as impatient for an import to complete as I am for a lift to arrive, so happy to see that Aperture 3.3 looks to be at the fast end of what is possible.

    Eeish Stephen, that is not fun
    Try sandisk rescue pro. as you are using Sandisks, you'll either have a tiny disk ( that wont fit into your laptop) or a serial number for the program and a link to download.
    Disk utility.app, that may work for you as you are on a mac like I am
    There are many free and paid for apps for mac and PC that allow you to do rescue files from disk.
    I've formatted chips in my camera, prior to taking photos off several times, and after saying a few BAD WORDS taken that chip out , shot with another chip and once home I've used sandisk rescue pro and got all the photos back.
    Stating the obvious, but dont reshoot using the suspect chip before  trying to rescue, as that would over write of course.
    Of course, if they are corrupted,  then you may be using BAD WORDS as well.
    I'd do a test with another card, and if that card is fine, repeat the test with the suspect card, and if that card breaks, use it as a coaster.
    I hope that works for you.

  • An upgrade to 10.4 cut iTunes cd import speed nearly in half? Help!

    Just upgraded my Mini to 10.4 and saw an immediate negative impact on import speed in iTunes. What was average 8.0-10.0X import speed has dropped to 5.0-8.0X average. If I'm REALLY lucky it jumps to 9.5X. I'm not the smartest tech-type person out there, but I can recognize cause & effect. Any suggestions or ideas?

    iTunes import speed is reliant on both RAM and processor speed. Tiger has a host of applications that run in the background called Widgets. Starting with 10.4.2 you could manage your own widgets with Apple's Manage Widgets button on Dashboard. Try disabling all widgets and see if it makes a difference.
    http://www.downtownsoftwarehouse.com/WidgetManager/
    is available for 10.4 and 10.4.1 to do the same thing.
    Also if Spotlight hasn't finished indexing, that could slow down other system processes. Check the Spotlight menu (the blue circle with the white magnifying glass in the upper right corner) to see if there is just a search field, or a search field with the words saying that it is indexing. If the latter, wait until it is finished.

  • Importing speed...only about 1.5? this is taking forever!

    hey guys, I was just curious if there was any rhyme or reason to this. All my cds are literally taking an hour to import at this time. It's almost every cd too. Any way to remedy the situation? Thanks.

    Sounds like you may have a faulty drive.
    My iBook was taking a long time to import, sometimes freezing mid-way. Took it to the Apple Store. They determined the drive needed to be replaced. They mentioned when import speeds are very slow regardless of the CD used, usually this indicates a faulty drive.
    Is your machine under warranty? Cost to replace a combo drive is about $250.

  • What's the speed of mackbook pro HD link? is it ATA100? is Fireface 400

    What's the speed of mackbook pro Hard drive link? is it ATA100? is Fireface 400/800 faster than the link of the macbook pro hard drive?
    I'm a recording artist. I'll use my macbook pro to record sounds, because my macbook pro 's disk is too small, I deceide to buy a fireface 800 hard drive like Lacie. Is it ok to record sounds in logic directly into the fireface 800 hard drive? or it's still better to record sounds into macbook pro's Hd.
    which one is faster anyway?
    Thanks!

    It makes little difference whether the drive is SATA 1.5 or 3.0 because the MBP controller only supports SATA 1.5. SATA 3.0 drives will work but simply not at the faster speed.
    The FW800 interface is capable of up to 100 MB/s interface transfer rates. The hard drives however are not able to achieve that speed in typical real world throughput. The most expensive high speed SATA drives (3.5", 7200 or faster RPM) may come close to saturating the FW800 bus. But smaller notebook drives (2.5") will not. So if you plan to use a notebook sized external drive just get one that will suit your storage needs. If maximizing throughput is important then get a 7200 RPM SATA notebook drive and put it in a FW800 enclosure. Be sure to get an enclosure that uses the Oxford chipset.
    You can find suitable enclosures at:
    MacSales.com
    CoolDrives.com
    WiebeTech.com
    CalDrives.com
    FirewireDirect.com
    Good sources for drives are MacSales.com, Buy.com, and NewEgg.com.

  • Importing speed dropped to almost zero

    Hi. I've been updating my iTunes library with an average import speed of between 10-15, but now it's dropped to 0.8 making importing Cds impossible. I've tried several Cds and this problem is constant. I've also tried the diagnostic check and it's not flagging up any issues with the Cd drive.
    Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? iTunes recognises the Cds ok, it's just not importing them quickly.
    Thanks.

  • What determines whether the Label name and/or Caption appears in the context help window but in other cases, both the label and caption appear in the context help window?

    I am trying to polish an application, and find that I cannot seem to reliably control which of the label or caption text appears in the context help window because I don't understand what rules are in place to determine which should appear. It seems like if I reate a named constant, then use it's right click menu command "Create Indicator" I get a control with only a Label (as long as I don't add a caption). This then appears in the context help window as the label name followed by the description text (after entering some description text). But if I add a caption, the label name is shown in bracket
    s which is a 'feature' I would like to avoid, because I have certain controls where I would like to use a descriptive variable name on the block diagram side without using so much space on the front panel. It seems like there is no way to avoid showing the Label name in the context help for a control/indicator. Is this true?
    I thought the purpose of having a seperate caption was to make the text that appears with a control programmatically controllable, but if that control is not extended to what appears in the context help window, it limits the usefulness of the caption and forces me to re-consider some Label names. However, the problem goes deeper than that because then even when I make the label and caption exactly the same, or if I delete (via a select caption text-backspace or select caption text- delete key .. sequence) the caption for a control, the label name in the context help window still appears in square brackets!
    Can I have complete control over the context help fo
    r a particular control (or has anyone found a third-party context help solution that functions compatibly with LabVIEW 7 in a built application that they will be so kind as to recommend?)
    I have used LabVIEW for three years, and I am now using LabVIEW 7.0.

    Sorry for that.. I was changing the text of my question and didn't read carefully enough in the preview stage. I wanted it to read "What determines whether the Label name and/or Caption appears in the context help window?"

  • Report Generation: what determine row height?

    I have a Zebra printer I am trying to print to and it seems like the row height is determined from just the text length. Even if the column width is plenty wide enough.  But if I send it to a regular Canon printer the table seems to print fine.
