Where to put microphone to record piano?
I'm going to record a pianist playing a grand piano. Where is the best place to put a Blue Snowball mic connected to my MacBook--behind the pianist but facing the piano, on the lid with the lid down, or somewhere else? Thanks!
Hi,

Normally, to mike a grand, you would use +at least+ 2 mikes.
But, if you have to work with one, you really need to do a series of short recordings with it placed in different places, that you can listen to and pick the best one from.
You need to keep track of which recording matches which placement.
Perhaps, an open lid w/ the mike placed above it, pointed down towards the strings, might be a place to start.
(It really depends on the piano, the style of music, and the pianist which placement will work best.)

open garageband, select new project, click on any track (piano,etc,) when the window opens, drop down track and delete the track that is there. Then drop down track and select basic track
go to system prefs>soundselect input, select internal mic, and use the slider for level control.

Query WHERE statement to compare db record date pt 2
I'm sorry, I hit the answered button on my last post. I didn't mean to. I have been working on this code and have gotten closer to the solution. I just need to tweek out the WHERE statement to get rid of the time from the output, and I believe my cfif needs a little work to allow it to be taken into the actually dates. I cfdumped my variables from my query and finally got an output and not an [empty string]. This is my code now, and I will leave in the cfdump and abort tags so you can see where I put them:
<cfquery name="CaleventRec" datasource="#APPLICATION.dataSource#">
SELECT events.eventDate, events.ID AS ID
FROM events
WHERE eventDate Between #NextMonthYear# and #NextMonth# AND eventDate >= #dateFormat(Days, 'dd')#
</cfquery>
this is my cfif stement

<cfif Days EQ '#eventDate#'>

this is the whole code:

the output from the cfdump is this: the first event date in the month of june.
I need this to match the thisday part of the code in the cfloop function through the days of the week.
Can anyone help me figure this part out?
thank you, and really sorry about the 2nd post. I just woke up and hit the wrong button. again, really sorry all.
CFmongerThis is a small calendar. it will move to the next month at the end of this one, it can also go to the next month with a next / prev button that will let you go as far as you want. It is like all we have seen before. What I need to do it get the eventDate in my DB, that is set as date and put in as mm/dd/yyyy now, basically what I believe the query needs to do it to not only tell what month the calendar is on, but it needs to match any db records with any of the days in that month. Say we are in June: I have 3 records in June, on the 5th, 20th, and 26th. In all the 31 days in the month of June, just those 3 will show a link with an ID to the record that matches in the DB.
I had it narrowed down with that query, but lose the variable once I try and cfif it. So I knew either my query is wrong, or my cfif is, probably both.
does that help? can I make this work? am I even close?
thank you.

By the way, here is the entire code with the next / prev nav for cycling through the months.

Where to put the commit in the FORALL BULK COLLECT LOOP
Hi,
Have the following LOOP code using FORALL and bulk collect, but didnt know where to put the
'commit' :
open f_viewed;
LOOP
fetch f_viewed bulk collect into f_viewed_rec LIMIT 2000;
forall i in 1..f_viewed_rec.count
insert into jwoodman.jw_job_history_112300
values f_viewed_rec(i);
--commit; [Can I put this 'commit' here? - Jenny]
EXIT when f_viewed%NOTFOUND;
END LOOP;
commit;
Thanks,

Bulk collect normally used with large data sets. If you have less dataset such as 1000-2000 records then you canot get such a performance improvent using bulk collect.(Please see oracle documents for this)
When you update records Oracle acquire exclusive lock for that. So if you use commit inside the loop then it will process number of records defined by limit parameter at ones and then commit those changes.
That will release all locks acquired by Oracle and also teh memory used to keep those uncommited transactions.
If you use commit outside the loop,
Just assume that you insert 100,000 records, all those records will store in oracle memory and it will affect all other users performance as well.
Further more if you update 100,000 records then it will hold exclusive lock for all 100,000 records addtion to the usage of the oracle memory.
I am using this for telco application which we process over 30 million complex records (one row has 234 columns).
When we work with large data sets we do not depends with the oracle basic rollback function. because when you keep records without commit itb uses oracle memory and badly slowdown all other processes.Hi mc****,
What a load of dangerous and inaccurate rubbish to be telling a new Oracle developer. Commit processing should be driven by the logical unit of a transaction. This should hold true whether that transaction involves a few rows or millions. If, and only if, the transaction is so large that it affects the size constraints of the database resources, in particular, rollback or redo space, then you can consider breaking that transaction up to smaller transactions.
Why is frequent committing undesirable I hear you ask?
First of all it is hugely wasteful of rollback or redo space. This is because while the database is capable of locking at a row level, redo is written at a block level, which means that if you update, delete or insert a million rows and commit after each individual statement, then that is a million blocks that need to go into redo. As many of these rows will be in the same block, if you instead do these as one transaction, then the same block in redo can be transacted upon, making the operation more efficient. True, locks will be held for longer, but if this is new data being done in batches then users will rarely be inconvenienced. If locking is a problem then I would suggest that you should be looking at how you are doing your processing.
Secondly, committing brings into play one of the major serialization points in the database, log sync. When a transaction is committed, the log buffer needs to be written to disc. This occurs serially for multiple commits. Each commit has to wait until the commit before has completed. This becomes even more of a bottleneck if you are using Data Guard in SYNC mode, as the commit cycle does not complete until the remote log is notified as written.
This then brings us two rules of thumb that will always lead a developer in the right direction.
1. Commit as infrequently as possible, usually at the logical unit of a transaction
2. When building transactions, first of all seek to do it using straight SQL (CTAS, insert select, update where etc). If this can't be easily achieved, then use PL/SQL bulk operations.

Urgent where i put this code for delete
hi master
sir this code is right for my requirment but when i put on_delete event system not respons or not delete record

Which Canon Camcorder has the best built in microphone for recording musical instruments
Which Canon Camcorder in the affordable price range has the best built in onboard microphone for recording musical instruments
Thanks.TheBee,
Thanks for writing!
The built-in microphones on the camcorder are fairly similar. When you're recording music, we recommend the use of an external microphone.
The mic you use really depends on what you're recording and where.
So we may better assist you, please provide a bit of information regarding the type of recordings you'll be making, the music and the setting (i.e. what kind of venue, your distance to the music, etc).

Hey guys,
I just bought a new iPhone but i can't restore my backup files beacuse it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I really don't know where to put the password to restore it. I really have some files that are meaningful for me so I really need help. Any suggestions anyone?Select your iDevice in the iTunes.
Choose the Summary screen (tab) and scroll to the bottom of the screen.
Then un-select Encrypt iPhone backup.
iTunes will then prompt you to “Enter the password to unlock your iPhone backup”, enter the password you set originally. -
My computer (Macbook) was working fine this am. I left it for an hour and then came back and the screen was black (always does that as the screensaver hardly ever works). I moved the mouse to wake it up and everything was normal. I went to adjust the volume and the screen went blank and the main page with the box where I put my password in when I first start my comp appeared. I put my password in and everything was normal again. I opened a window in Safari and before it loaded completely the same thing happened, the screen went blank and went back to the password box. Does anyone know why this is happening? I don't have an external hard drive or any blank flash drives so I can't back anything up right now and am afraid I'm going to lose everything. Thank you
Sounds like hardware failure, called boot loop. Call Apple and or go on apple.com and make Genius Bar appointment to have your iphone reviewed by a Tech. Provided you iphone shows no physical or liquid damage they will take care of you, or if you have Apple Care Plus

I am trying to organize a zip file with a bunch of links and files. But when I drag an image file to a folder, it always "Snaps to grid" instead of just landing where I put it. All of the files are going into the same zip file but I want them visually in the space that I put them and not at the bottom of the snap to grid folder location they are looking like. I am trying to drag and drop files in groups so that I can group them for now, but image files always do their own "sort by" when I drag them from my web pages. Links don't do it though. I tried resetting the folder, and deleting the DS files. No luck.

Hello,
I am trying to set some columns in a list as "read-only" and is using the following code:
<script type=”text/javascript”>
function SetReadOnly()
var elements=document.getElementById(’4_ctl00_ctl00_TextField’);
elements.readOnly=true;
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push(“SetReadOnly()”);
</script>
But I am not sure where to put the code in. Should I put it in the space in Content Editor Web Part,
or through a link to a txt file, or in "Edit HTML"? I've tried them but none works.
Thanks a lot!
PatrickYou can try this:
1) Open your Sharepoint List. Go to List edit view.
2) On right side of Ribbon you will find "Form Web Parts" option as shown in figure.
3) Choose your List form which you want to edit.
4) Now you can add web part in new window.
5) Add Content Editor Web part.
6) In content editor web part add the path of your "txt" file in which you have written your script, for eg.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
function SetReadOnly()
var elements=document.getElementById('4_ctl00_ctl00_TextField');
elements.readOnly=true;
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("SetReadOnly()");
</script>
</body>
</html>
I haven't tried this method so I am not sure but hope it works...:D
