What is the "old school" way of doing multi take recording?

I have been experimenting with the new to logic feature of quickswipe comping. I both like it and don't like it. It has flaws. In other threads I have seen people talking about just using the old method. What is this old method? How is it done? I would like to try it out and see which I prefer.

I've yet to meet anyone who does like or use the quickswipe feature in Logic 8, but despite everyone's protestations it appears here to stay... even Pro Tools & Performer have jumped on the bandwagon. Logic does however appear to have the simplest implementation (though there are known issues with it).
The 'old-skool' method was a lot easier before Logic 8 insisted that all takes recorded in cycle mode should be placed in a comp folder. Granted you can unpack the folder or use the 'Replace Mode' button in combination with the 'New for Overlapped Regions' function... but a) This takes longer than it should, & b) The 'New for Overlapped Regions' function is applied to all regions within your arrangement (not just the most recent recording) - annoying if you have any overlaps elsewhere.
Once you have unpacked your folder into a block of takes, it can be useful to temporarily colour each take before editing (so you know it's source). Then set your two edit tools to 'Pointer' & 'Scissors' (top right corner of the arrange page) - and by holding the 'cmd' key, you can alternate between these two tools. Thus you can quickly chop & move sections of regions to a master comp track. (Some people use the 'Marquee' tool, but I'm a 'Scissors' man)...
You can then delete or hide unwanted takes or sections. The beauty of this method is that you can set individual fades (rather than global) - essential in my books. Although it might sound more convoluted than the quickswipe method, in my experience, it's a lot quicker, a lot more flexible, & definitely more reliable. 'Old-skool' perhaps... 'tried & tested' - no doubt!

  • Auditing tables - What are the best possible ways of doing it?

    Hello Everyone,
    DB version: 10g.
    Brief description of the problem: Right, now I am working on an application which has a java frontend and oracle
    backend. We have no access to the java code at all. So, it is a complete blackbox. . Just wondering, if I could go for a schema level trigger to know, which columns of which tables are altered upon some action at the frontend. Or, if I know the tables specifically, say tab A and tab B; Should I go for a row level trigger on them, instead of going for a
    schema level trigger. Which approach will be the best? If possible, would you please point me to some code samples
    for both of them.
    Thanks.

  • What's the best (easiest way) to clear up voice recorded from far away?

    I decided to record my professor during one of his lectures.
    I sit in the back (power outlet~), and thus the voice is really muffled.
    I figured I'd be easily able to clear up the sound later in CS6.
    Sounds easy anyways, but for some reason, I'm not having any luck in it.
    I've done much more complex restoration stuff (no where near pro, just ocd haha), but never worked with voice before.....
    Any ideas will be helpful. Pretend like I've only used audition for a few days.
    Thanks all~!

    Unfortunately there isn't an easy or even very successful way to do this in any audio software. See the long discussion at:

  • I am giving my old MacBook Air to my granddaughter.  What is the most efficient way to erase all the data on it?

    I am giving my old MacBook Air to my granddaughter.  What is the most efficient way to erase the data?

    You have two options.....
    One is to do a clean reinstall of your OS - if you still have the USB installer that came with your Macbook Air...
    The second option is to create a new user (your granddaugher's name).....Deauthorize your Macbook Air from your Itunes and Appstore.....
    Restart your Macbook after you've created your granddaughter's user name, login under your granddaughter's username and delete your username.
    Search your Macbook for your old files and delete them.....
    Good luck...

  • What is the old tRFC scheduler for BW 3.x?

    Hello,
    Does anyone know the old trfc scheduler prior to Netweaver 7.0? Because as of 7.0 it is SMQS. What was the old one before for BW 3.x??
    Regards,
    Jennah

    Hello,
    Any idea? Because from some docs I read, the SMQS was the new outbound scheduler with BI Service API in Release SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (Plug-In-Basis 2005.1). But if we use RSA1_TRFC_OPTION_SET program, we can go back to the old or original  scheduling for queued RFC. What was that old scheduling refereed too? In what tCode can that be seen?

  • What is the most efficent way to create both a standard and HD DVD

    Hi,
    I'm just getting into HD video editing, and I have relatives who will be several years behind me. I will be making HD DVD's for myself to use, but I will also need to make standard DVD's to send to my relatives.I am assuming that the HD DVD's I create will not play in a standard DVD player. I may be wrong. However, If this is correct, is there a particular point in the process of working with Encore where I can make that choice, create the DVD, and then go back and alter it in order to create the other type without destroying and having to redo everything that was done up to that point?

    Thank you Hunt. Being ahead of most of the rest of the world and getting the best technology out there can be a pain sometimes. Reading through Jon Geddes' article left me scratching my head several times, and some of it went way over my head, but I'll keep at it, until it sinks in. Some language, terms, and shorthand, I'm sure are simple to understand to a lot of people, but I'm not in that catagory. I'll just keep working at it.

    Subject: what is the most efficent way to create both a standard and HD DVD
    I would edit the Project in HD in PrPro. The BD authoring part will be straight workflow.
    For the SD DVD-Video, you have a few choices. You can Export to DV-AVI Type II for Import into a new Encore Project for the DVD. Some feel that PrPro does not do a good job at down-rezing from HD to SD. For a workflow that will likely yield better quality, see this http://www.precomposed.com/blog/2009/07/hd-to-sd-dvd-best-methods/. If you have PrPro/Encore CS4, then Jeff Bellune's /thread/487134?tstart=0 might be useful to you. Just follow the links to the tutorial.
    Good luck,

  • What's the most efficient way to serve a file from a servlet?

    I have a servlet that does various different things depending on the needs. Sometimes it dynamically generates content, and sometimes all it does is send a file out, with no alteration.
    What is the most efficient way to just send a file?
    One option:
    OutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
    InputStream is = new FileInputStream(...)
    (send all the bytes from is to os, the regular way using a buffer)Another option is to say:
    RequestDispatcher rd = response.getRequestDispatcher(fileName);
    rd.forward();Any other options? What's the prefered way of doing this?
    I know the rule of "don't optimize too early" but this is a situation where we need to get the maximum amount of files served with the hardware we have, and it's going to be a lot of static files, so efficiency is important.
    Thanks

    Ok, that's what I thought. It would be nice if there were a "response.sendStream(InputStream input)" method in the ServletResponse class. Even nicer would be a sendFile or sendChannel or something. This is probably a common usage and it's a place where the container has many opportunities for optimization. For example, it could call the operating systems send_file kernel call so the entire transfer would be done directly from the disk controller to the ether card (on systems that support that).
    For now I'll just do my own buffered copy.

  • What is the most efficient way to have full access to the front panel on RT Labview?

    I have a RT machine that needs to do its job and also port the front panel to an external machine over the network. What is the most efficient way to do it? Using as little of the RT time as possible but providing full functionality to the RT front panel.
    So far I have been using it directly from Labview - running the VI on a remote (RT) and have the front panel on local Labview (WINDOWS). I know I can do it with also through WWW (not very happy with that though).
    LV2009 SP1.
    Thanks

    Running a compiled executable on the RT target, rather than running it within the development environment, is probably slightly more efficient but limits you to the web interface.  If you're running within the LabVIEW environment, I doubt there's a noticeable difference in efficiency from the RT perspective between the web server and the LabVIEW front panel, although that's mostly a guess (I would expect the RT system to send identical data in each case, once the front panel is loaded).  Those are your only options in modern LabVIEW versions.  In LabVIEW 7.1 you could build an executable that acted as the front panel for an RT system, but that feature does not exist in recent versions.  However, a quick search turned up this document with code to approximately duplicate that behavior, perhaps it will work for you?

  • What is the most efficient way to convert a static site to a responsive site using Dreamweaver?

    I need to convert an old site made in Dreamweaver to be responsive to any monitor size. What is the most efficient way to do this?

    Depending on what you have to work with and how it was coded, it might be doable and then again not.  Suffice it to say, there are no magic buttons that will do this for you. Also consider that mobile & tablet users interact differently with their web devices. So your navigation & forms must be finger friendly.  Also images & content must make mobile users happy without killing their dataplans.  There's a lot of planning that goes into making a good Responsive Web site.

    >PDPageAddCosContents(destPage, PDPageGetCosContents(srcPage));
    Does this method (PDPageGetCosContent) exist? It would be easy enough
    to create, but I don't see it in the document.
    More seriously, I have a vague memory that it is a Really Bad Thing to
    share the same Contents objects between multiple pages. Maybe
    something to do with page deletion, can't remember.
    >PDPageAddCosResource(destPage, PDPageGetCosResources(srcPage));
    These two methods are not symmetric, and PDPageAddCosResource doesn't
    work that way, sadly...

    Plug it in anytime you desire.
    Charge it until you are ready to unplug it, then do so.
    The only no-no is allowing the device to completely discharge.
