Why is the Peak Amplitude different in the Multitrack & Waveform View?

Hi all,
I'm trying to understand why levels are different in the Multitrack and Waveform view. Everything is louder in Multitrack view, is there a reason for this?
All the best
Kevin

You're likely experiencing the default Pan Law multitrack setting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_law
You can adjust this for this particular session, and/or change the preference to affect all future sessions.
For your session, open the Properties panel and expand the Mixing section.  et the Panning mode to Left/Right Cut.
To change the default, open Preferences > Multitrack and change the preference settings to Left/Right Cut.

  • Why does the Safari PDF viewer plugin show up in mission control?

    Whenever I swipe to activate mission control the PDF viewer plugin of Safari shows. This obviously doesn't happen if I do not have a tab with a PDF active in the browser, but why does it show anyway? I have tested Firefox and Chrome and their PDF plugins do not show in the mission control view, so why does Safari's? How can I get rid of this? It makes loading expose' view a little choppy (compared to when I dont have to use a PDF in Safari) and looks weird. I have attached an image of how this looks.

  • Why cannot the block diagram view of a VI show the "connector pane" view in the UR corner, like the front panel view does?

    Perhaps there is a good reason for this that I just haven't figured out. I haven't seen any questions about it searching the NI site, however.
    But it just seems totally inconvenient to always have to go to the front panel to get to the connector pane view, especially if some of those connectors are hidden. Then I have to go to the block diagram, guess which control/indicator I want to unhide, go back to the FP to check it on the connector pane, then go back and hide it again, and repeat if necessary. Even if the C/I is visible on the FP, it's still an extra step or two.
    When I'm building connections using the block diagrams and planning where to put connectors in subVIs so they would be easier to wire up (line up inputs/outputs on sides, not have to go top-to-bottom, etc.), it sure would be nice to be able to work totally in the block diagram realm.

  • Why are my PDFs sorted differently in Bookshelf or Titles view?

    I scanned 68 chapters of two med textbooks (2000 pages) so I can access them easier on my iPad.
    It works OK but there is one odd thing-after dragging the chapters to iTunes and syncing them, I get different sort orders for the "Bookshelf" view and "Titles" view depending on if I am in ICON mode or LIST view mode (top upper right)
    The chapters are each named 01.pdf, 02.pdf, 03.pdf, etc etc.
    If I look at them in "List" view, with the TITLES button selected they are all sorted from 01-68 properly.
    If I look at them in "List" view, with the "BOOKSHELF" button selected, they randomly populate the bookshelf from top to bottom.
    This is the same when I view them in ICON mode.  They are all out of order.
    I know I can drag them around to re-arrange them, but this is a real pain.
    Also- I can't just choose "TITLES" and then click ICON view, it reverts to "Bookshelf view"
    I was planning to put more textbooks in.  A lot more.
    What causes them to be sorted randomly when they are in "Bookshelf" view?
    I would like to find a way around this so I can either re-name them properly or adjust whatever meta-data (if anything) is causing this.

    Unfortunately this has been an issue with iBooks since day one. Bookshelf view has never been sorted alphabetically. Hopefully in a future update this issue will be resolved...
    I personally gave up on iBooks for PDF files because of the inability to sort the Bookshelf view with any consistency. I'd recommend looking into the Goodreader app for storing your PDFs. With Goodreader you can create folders within the app for each book and they will sorted in proper order.

  • Downloading ASPX files throuhg File Explorer - Why is the original content replaced?

    Hi All,
    I have hit upon this very annoying problem which is dragging down my productivity. I hope some of the experts here might be abble to offer a solution.
    My company has SP 2013 deployed. I have some custom ASPX pages deployed to a document library and these pages have no reference to anything of SharePoint at all. Everything works fine. However, when I download those files to local disk using the File Explorer
    view, the content of the ASPX pages are modified.
    If I look into the original files through SharePoint Designer then everything looks fine. Why would the File Explorer view of SharePoint do such a covert thing.
    example of modified content below:

  • Why is the contents of Safari's downloads folder different than the actual folder?

    Why is the contents of Safari's downloads folder different than the actual folder that resides in my users folder?

    Problem is if I delete that .plist I'll delete those downloads.  I'm still able to launch those downloads from that location so that tells that file is probably not corrupted. I need to be able to located that folder and transfer the downloads from it before I do anything like this.  So that begs the question, where is that folder located?  When I do a folder search I'm taken to a Downloads folder, but it's not the one that is showing up from within Safari as it's contents are too different.

  • Why is the font of text fields different from document-text

    I am using forms in my pdf.
    I am inserting Text-Fields in the pdf-form.
    I set the color and size of text as the same as the document text as calibri 9.
    1) Why is the font different between the text-field and document content eventhough both are black font of size 9 and of type calibri. The font in the text-field is more gray and blurry. It doesnt look the same as the text in the rest of the document.
    2) why do the document-text font options differ from the text-field font options.
    One has only sizes with even numbers like 8, 10, 12. The other has odd numbers also. Why does the calibri font have 2 different size ranges for the text-fields and document-text/content.

    Yes you are correct, it is with the setting of the properties.
    Where do i report this then if it is not with the SDK but the manual setting of properties.
    Also, how do i alter this ussue with the SDK, what are the commands, does it have to be done only by Javascript?

  • Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

    Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

    Here's what I've found on the issue:
    Pantone color definitions have changed (coinciding with CS6) — they are now "Pantone+" (I think that's what they're called). The "+" apparently means they're now LAB colors. Lab colors are not properly displayed in Preview (or in Finder previews) — they display as black (as far as I can tell, in all circumstances). I'm sure it's a tad more complicated than that, but that's the gist.
    Now the bad news — nobody seems to know anything about a fix or workaround (unless you convert your PDFs to process — this might be a fix for sending to clients). It causes issues for me in AI files — being able to view them in the finder (with previews) is a HUGE time saver for my workflow... when they're all black, not so much.
    In my chat with a director of product dev at Adobe, they placed the responsibility to fix on Apple (assuming Apple wants to support Pantone color definitions in their OS).

  • When deleting bookmarks from Firefox, why does the program respond differently on similar installs to different computers all running OS X?

    On the subject of bookmarks...
    The following procedure works for deleting bookmarks on my MacBook Pro, my iMac, and my Mac mini...
    If the bookmark is itself a tab on the toolbar, right click on it and select delete by highlighting delete in the drop down menu that appears.
    The following procedure works for deleting bookmarks on my MacBook Pro, but not my iMac or Mac mini...
    If the toolbar tab is actually a folder containing bookmarks and possibly more folders, left click on the toolbar tab to open a drop down menu of other bookmarks/folders, highlight the one you want to delete, then right click on it and select delete by highlighting delete in the drop down menu.
    On the iMac and Mac mini, right clicking on an item in the drop down menu of bookmarks/folders has no effect. It does not produce the additional drop down menu at all.
    I can find no place to adjust this as a setting in preferences or anywhere else. Can you tell me why I am seeing a different response from the Firefox program on my MacBook Pro than I get from my other Macs?
    All Macs are configured similarly and running OS X 10.6.5. All have Firefox 3.6.13 installed.
    I realize there are many other ways to delete bookmarks from Firefox. My question is not about how to delete bookmarks, but rather why am I seeing the differing behavior from Firefox in other installs. It may well prove to be an issue within OS X rather than Firefox.

    In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes" then try to disable this feature.

  • Why are the interfaces of PRO APPLICATIONS different, Why not fixed in FCS3

    From someone who has been working on macs since 1984, and making my living as a video producer/editor since 1991 using mac:
    Back in the first two decades of Apple's existence, all apps had "Universal Tools & Interfaces". An arrow, a crosshair, a timeline.... You get the picture. LiveType, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, Logic, WaveBurner, and DVD Studio ALL have different looking and acting tools and timelines. This unnecessary mess of differing type tools and interfaces goes against the one thing that makes Macs Macs.
    My limited mind can only store so much. It can hold LT, FCP, and Logic interfaces, norms, key commands, timeline behaviors. I don't have any more mind space for yet another app's. I got completely confused in SoundTrack today.... Oh that's the fourth App I had to use.... I got an error message "There's not enough brain matter to continue, you can cry, spend an hour re-learning, or just edit the 15 tracks of audio in FCP"
    I can't believe it's just me who feels this way. They sell us suite of products, all with differing interfaces and key based tools. You would have thought by this third version they'd make A = pointer or B= Blade or 0 = Rewind in at least two apps.... I hope someone at Apple is trying to fix this horrible situation. I can only hope.... I hope they will still "support" LiveType in the Next Upgrade or I'll freak out.
    Someone tell me why they are still all different, please?

    Buying all the software (except Motion) from other companies results in what you see in Studio. They did this because it was their interest to do so. Apple bought FCP, originally written for PC's, in what amounted to a fire sale for example.
    Would you spend the money (and we're talking a LOT of money) to make them all share a similar UI if you didn't have to? It can be argued that corporate law in this country dictates that Apple cannot spend that dough. How about that notion? LOL...
    True, it's tougher to learn Studio because of the different UI's each app has. Development of that might happen as they rewrite all the code. However the cost of doing that in any app at one time is high enough that I can understand why it remains the way it is.
    Further, Apple has been and will continue to sell the software anyway, as most users believe it's superior to it's direct competitors in power, stability and in value. Apple won the NLE the unit sales wars a long time ago in any event. Since the market is saturated with FCS users apparently loath to learn (poor souls) a new app, let alone a new suite, there is even less incentive for Apple to spend the dough to do what you'd like to see.
    As mentioned above, you can give feedback to Apple. The development teams do read that feedback. I've met some of the folks who cull it inside Apple in fact.

  • In the info bar at the bottom of the iphoto window, why is the number of items different from the total

    In the info bar at the bottom of the iphoto screen, why is the number of items different from the total?

    What version of iPhoto and system are you running? What mode are you in, i.e. Events, Photos?
    If it's the Photos mode the number at the bottom will represent the number of photos displayed in that mode or the number of photos selected in that mode. The number will match the number next to the photos mode only when there are no photos in that mode that are selected. 
    If you click on the Events icon and then back on the photos icon the numbers should match.

    Whenever I measure the amplitude of a signal using the Extract Single Tone VI, the amplitude is smaller than if I measured the signal by hand by positioning the top and bottom cursors to the highest and lowest peaks of the captured waveform.  Should I not use the Extract Single Tone VI to measure amplitude?  I'm using Labview 6i.

    I'm not exactly sure but I think the amplitude from the Extract Single Tone vi is in peak volts (Vp).  When you use the cursors on a scope set to the top and bottom peaks, you are measuring volts peak to peak (Vp-p).  If the Extract vi amplitude is one half of your scope reading, then this is true.  Just double your Extract vi amplitude to get the peak to peak voltage.  It also depends on the signal.  If your signal is a square wave from 0 to 5 volts (TTL), this is usually measured in peak voltage.  A sinewave going positive and negative (from -5 to +5) is usually measured in peak to peak.
