What The Deal With This Issue!

Ive recorded in Protools and currently using Logic 8 and my results are the same. My mixes are pretty good. But my issue is, my final song file is pretty small according to level meters.
I have friends using fruity loops and nuendo and their mixes are sup par at best but their final file is way greater than mine when comparing them meter wise. A few of my friends bounce straight out of their DAW with no further processing and the song is way greater than mine as far as volume.
Ive even tried to use some of Logics mastering features but cant seem to achieve greater volume. Its like my final mix is being smothered or something. In the bounce dialog box, normalize is unchecked! This has been the same for me when using Protools and now Logic.
A few of my friends dont have clue when it comes to mixing and others just do a quick bounce down with NO MIXING for demo purposes but yet when they bounce the song down, the song file is nice and up to zero when mine sounds better but flirting around -7dbs. I dont get this!

mine sounds better but flirting around -7dbs
That's the point.......
Two friend of mine produce dance music and remixes and they usually mix and master at -12dB (with Duende and TC Electronic hardware...).
I've used Nuendo and Cubase too but I dislike their sound.
I think that the pushing part must be reserved to the mastering step so I'd be not so worry about the -7dB.
Just my 2 cents.

My computer died and I had to buy another one. Now I can't sync my ipod classic. What is the deal with this? I added songs about three months ago and it was fine. Now it won't sync. It says it has a duplicate file.

That would be awesome, if the nearest service area wasn't 4 hours away.... It would cost me just as much in gas to drive down there as it would just to buy a cheap replacement off of ebay...

What is the deal with this thing?

My computer no longer recognizes my ipod mini, won't charge it, or anything. It isn't responding to anything. I have tried resetting it so many times. All it does is show the "Do not disconnect." screen, and the backlight turns on when I press a button on the click wheel. My computer does not acknowledge that the ipod is connected to it at all, so I just diconnected it. However, the screen still says the same thing! I cannot find anyway to get some help off the Apple site. There are e-mail addresses or anything, which is completely annoying. My ipod mini is 13 months old and cost way too much money for this to be happening. Is it lost for good? What is the deal with this thing? Seriously, please help.

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
Still no joy, see these.

What's the deal with ie issues?

I have read a number of posts describing issues with iWeb pages displaying correctly in ie. Is this a bug? Is there a work-around? What use is a web page that 75% of the people can't see? I love how simple iWeb is, compared to more "powerful" applications, and I'm willing to work around its shortcomings. But not being ie compatible is not acceptable.
I need to design a web site for our elementary school, so the majority of viewers will probably be using ie.
Any advice or help would be appreciated.

The main issue surrounds the display of PNG graphics which iWeb is fond of...and which by the way is a standard web graphics format. The bug is with IE and not iWeb. But I understand the desire to want to dumb down a page to be able to be displayed by IE.
Actually, most PNG issues resolved themselves. iWeb uses javascript specifically to dynamically reformat PNGs so that they can be displayed by IE. The problem with this is that the javascript doesn't do its thing until all the elements are downloaded by IE. So there is a palpable pause in the action while things download. You see grey boxes around or in front of all the PNG graphics and then all at once they appear.
So the pages work in IE. It's just a slightly different browsing experience.

My brand new MacBook Pro won't turn on. What's the deal with this?

I got the thing yesterday. Sat down with it last night and everything started up fine. I set up my account and then it was time for updates. Naturally, I said yes to the updates. They downloaded, they installed, and that was the last time my brand new MacBook Pro turned on. I've checked to see that the battery is fully charged. I've tried plugging into other outlets. I've tried removing the battery and the power cord and pressing the power button for 5 seconds. Nothing has worked. When I put my ear up to it while pressing the power button, I can hear it try to start and get about 2-3 seconds in to start up and then a click and nothing. Does anybody have any idea what the heck has happened here?

What the Deal with MW ?

Hi,
I've been using OMW since 2006 . The only prereqs was a 9i DB .
Since then the architecture changed and needed a Application Server 10gR2 as a prequisite.
Now in 2.16 , I see its back to 10gR2 database only.
Please could anyone educate us why all these changes??
Anyways I've installed 2.16 on top of 10gR2 and starting a R12 upgrade project.
In past i've used the tool to upgrade following combinations:
11.0.3 on 8i to 11i / 9i
11.5.9 on 8i to 11i/9i
11.5.9 on 8i to 11i on 10gR2
apps db upgrade 9i --> 10g R2
Great Product !
regards,
Santosh

Santosh,
I've been writing and maintaining MW since long before 2006. LOL
We historically have always required two ORACLE_HOME's. One for a DB; one for iAS. The version of the RDBMS has changed over the years, as new ones got released from ST.
The current version of the MW has removed the use of iAS, so now it only requires one OH, and it's for 10gR2 RDBMS.
The reason for this change is that customers wanted us to simplify and shorten the installation. One of the main ways to do this was to reduce our requirement for an iAS installation.
So "YOU" spoke, and we listened! ;-)
Glad you're enjoying the product!

What is the best approach for dealing with this issue?

I have been advised by a mac expert that the computer should be left running except for extended periods or, as I have been doing, shut down at the end of each day/ Please explain the rationale for your response. Thanks

On mactalk.com.au there was recently a thread on "When did you last shut down your Mac".
A lot of people don't.
Some people (which I think is mostly PC users converted to Mac, or old-timers who live in the past) do shut down daily.
I myself have only shut my computer off when moving it physically, when there's an electrical storm, when I've been going on holidays, or when there's been some installation issue requiring a restart/coldstart. (I'm not counting "Restarts" for new software)
OS X doesn't need to be shut down... though an occasional restart can be good for resetting things like virtual memory, etc.
If you do leave it going, the CRON scripts only run if the computer is awake anyway (at like 3am in the morning), so if you set the computer to "sleep" after a time, then it's no different to shutting down in that regard.
If you don't mind the extra time waiting for a boot up... then it doesn't really matter. If like me you're impatient, then don't shut down.

Is Apple dealing with this issue? iPod not recognized...

I just got my 30gb video iPod today. First it was frozen and not recognized. Tech support helped me get it unfrozen and then it was recognized. I loaded music, photos, videos and tv shows. I disconnected and tried out the iPod all works great. Went to go add more music and not its not recognized. I have the latest version of iTunes, the updater on laptop and desktop, both give the same message. Going through messages here it seems others are having the same problems. This has to be an issue with the iPod. I checked Disk Management but it doesn't show up.
Does anyone know of a solution?
For the first 90 days you get one call to support, I've already used that. This just really seems to be an issue with the iPod.
Any help/ideas appreciated.

Hope this helps

Troubleshooting iTunes, iPod Software, and QuickTime installation on Windows
If you are having trouble installing iTunes for Windows, iPod, or QuickTime software on your computer, here are some things to note and try.
Make sure you have admin access
To install iTunes, iPod, or QuickTime software, you need to be logged in as an administrator on the computer. If you're not sure if you have administrator access, contact the owner of the computer or your system administrator.
Get the latest Windows updates
The first thing to do when troubleshooting an installation issue on a Windows computer is make sure you have the latest Windows updates installed—to get the latest updates, go to the Microsoft Windows Update page.
iTunes, iPod, and QuickTime software for Windows require Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4, or Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
Note: Windows 2000 users should have the latest Windows Installer engine installed.
Do you see an error message?
Here are some of the common errors and what you can do about them:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
Error 1920. Service Bonjour Service (Bonjour Service) failed to start
Error -1607: Unable to Install InstallShield Scripting Run Time. (Scenario One)
1607: Unable to install InstallShield Scripting Runtime. (Scenario Two)
Error -1608: Unable to Create InstallDriver Instance
1628: Failed to Complete Installation
Error 1628: Failed To Complete Script Based Install
Error 1406

Error 1606. Could Not Access Network Location
Error 1327 Invalid Drive
Error 1335
Error connecting to service manager.
Error = 0 Failed to install GEARAspiWDM. Installation unsuccessful.
No error message displays, however the iTunes installation disappears from screen and does not finish.
If your error isn't listed above, or if the steps in the linked articles haven't helped, here are some other things you can try to resolve your installation issues:

Whats the Problem with this Company?

Most Company's want to keep there Customers happy it seems I am disappointed in everything except the reception is good. I bought a Smart phone and if you go over your limit it cost to use it.. Man my bill is higher than the Twin Towers used to be... And still I have to pay if I go over a specific amount for sharing photo's what is this? yu say its unlimited everything then they change that and say something else it sounds to me like Greed has gone to Verizon's account with all of us.. I am ashamed this is happening to all of us.. I know people who can do anything without being charged with other company's why is it this one doesn't care about our Wallets and be so happy that they have customers that actually pay there bill each month and give us a break... Shame.. Verizon.. I do love you but don't like your plans.. They are not ethical. To us.. or For us.. You need to change your plans and stop changing everything each month to something else when Your told you have unlimited everything then that is what it should be.. Now you have gone to far...

http://m.digitaltrends.com/opinion/opinion-its-a-trap-beware-carriers-new-unlimited-talk-and-text-plans/ This site is one of many that explains how the cash cows of "talk & texting" has declined. And it mentions family usage as you are doing. Personally I don't talk much on the phone, I don't text much or for that matter use a load of data. So I am basically overpaying for everything. But I like knowing I have it available if I need it. I love taking photos of the places my wife and I travel to. I upload to Facebook every step of the trip, so our friends and family have the pictures. I use a photo upload to Walgreens to print them out in hard copy for our photo albums, I also burn them to cd/dvd so I just don't use talking that much. Those texts can add up however. I use around 600 to my friends. But only from me and not my wife. The emergency phone also very rarely sends texts or makes calls so no big deal there. But my wife uses her phone for calls, and that Netflix, You Tube and TW Cable TV so she loves data. But ours is unlimited not tiered or metered. She is happy that is all that matters.
