ITunes 'recording level' when burning

I've burned a couple of CDs from iTunes and all have very low volume levels when finished. They sound fine once I turn the player (be it my stereo, boombox, iMac, whatever) way up. But then when I go to play something else, if I forget to turn it down, it about blows me into the next room. Am I missing some setting someplace? I tried this using source music downloaded from both CDRs and factory CDs. And I have 'Sound Check' on. Could that be the problem? I am also using Memorex brand CDRs, which I would think would be of decent quality. And it occurs every time - on 5+ CDs now, so it's not just one bad CDR.
Somewhat unrelated, I also am aware of the 'cross fade' feature when playing iTunes on the computer. Is there a way to burn a CD using this feature? It seems the lowest setting for 'gap between tracks' is zero. Is there a way to, I guess, make that negative 1 or 2 so the songs fade into each other on the burned CD?
Thanks.

Hi Dave.
No answer, unfortunately... Just a 'me too'. I don't use Memorex Brand and I also use 'Sound Check' (I always assumed this was the reason).
Oh and I've forgotten to turn down the volume as well. THAT's fun
Maybe someone will be able to shed some light for us?

  • I can't raise my recording level when recording my guitar

    When I plug my guitar directly into my computer, GarageBand (line in) with guitar volume on max I get a weak recording signal (10% signal strength). It does record with decent playback but the signal is very weak with lots of headroom. When I adjust the "recording level" slider (even to max) I only gain another, maybe 10%, nowhere near the clipping red lights. Again, my guitar volume is set at max. Any ideas???

    Your guitar's signal just isn't strong enough, you either need to pre-amplify it somehow (e.g. by using a pre-amp or a mixing console) or get an audio interface that does the analog-to-digital conversion.

  • Volume levels when burning finished product

    I just burned a project from imovie 11 onto a dvd using idvd. The volume came out much lower on the burned dvd than it was in imovie. Is this common? If I finalize and/or do expert settings and then burn the project, will that help? Or do I need to bump up the volume on all of my clips?

    Using Sound Check for audio CD burning has been quite hit or miss for users with different gear since at least version 4.x from what I can recall. However, when a problem like this only affects certain systems, it's hard to pinpoint when it really started. Also, with Sound Check, it's up to users' perception of loudness whether the routing did its thing like it was supposed to or not.

  • Recording level is too low when burning CD from playlist

    When burning a CD from playlist, the resulting CD has a lower recording level than in the original recordings.  How can I adjust this?

    It sounds like you are having a similar problem to the one I was having when I was downloading my cds to itunes. The whole album would download but some of the songs would be on a different thumbnail instead of in the same album. Although the albums had the "artist" listed already it would still go to a separate thumbnail. It took me a while to search and figure it out through trial and error but if you right click on the album and when the tab pops up you go to "get info" and select "yes" you want to "edit information for multiple items" you must input the "album artist" and it will automatically import it into the correct album it originally came from. Some of them you have to input the information manually through the "get info". Hope this helps!!!

  • TS1436 Have downloaded and checked that I have the latest version of iTunes installed. When I attempt to burn a CD I get " Disc Burner in Software not found" or CD/DVD doesn't have connectivity to burn via iTunes. Can anyone help me please?

    I have ensured I have installed the latest version of iTunes and conducted everything to the point of burning from a playlist to a CD. When I do this the iTunes window states "Disc Burner or Software not found" "CD/DVD doesnt have connectivity to burn via iTunes".
    I have checked my drive and it reads a pre-recorded disc correctly. Any help please ???

    I have the same problem as simtagman. Would you mind looking at my diagnostics?

  • Error Messsage "-50" when burning with iTunes

    I have a Duo Core Intel MacBook Pro and am using the latest version of iTunes. Until today I've had no difficulty burning audio CD's. Today iTunes has canceled every burn attempt due to an "unexpected error -50". I burned the playlist with Toast Titanium using the same media with no problem, ruling out a faulty optical drive or recording media. I tried quitting and restarting iTunes, but still cannot burn and audio CD.
    Thanks for your kind help and/or suggestions!

    May be this article can be of some help:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
    "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
    These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
    If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
    See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
    Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:

    After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
    Quit iTunes.
    Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Open iTunes.

    If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
    Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
    If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
    You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
    If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

  • Different volumes levels when I record tunes on a CD?

    There are different volume levels when I copy tunes from my I-Tunes library. I'm trying to make a Sinatra CD from my I-tunes library and some songs are loud, others I can hardly hear. There must be a way to overcome this problem, but I don't know what it is. Can anyone help?

    Repeating a post I made on another thread:
    iVolume claims to work with iTunes' Sound Check to play songs at the same volume. The iVolume FAQ says the adjustment will carry over to burned CDs & iPods, too. It will not work on Music Store downloads due to DRM.
    I've read people on this forum say it works pretty well. It's US$15.

  • When you download iTunes material, does iTunes record the IP used where it is being downloaded to?  I am trying to track a lost/missing IPOD Touch and want to know if they have that data.

    When you download iTunes material, does iTunes record the IP used where it is being downloaded to?  I am trying to track a lost/missing IPOD Touch and want to know if they have that data.   It was left on a small street and someone has found it and has been hacking into my account by resetting my password.  They took about 41+ dollars from my account.   I am hoping the IP it was connecting with to download to it was tracked and that I can get that information to figure out where it is located.

    No. From the second link below.

  • Low levels when recording?

    Using a 1212m, recording from 1/4" line-in or from Host wave (ASIO 1/2), when the Patchmix Strip & Main Mix levels appear to be set just right, the recording software (SoundForge 9c or Cubase LE) shows peaks of only about 5dB. Is this normal? If I record at this level can I just Normalize afterward without distortion? It seems that clipping levels anywhere in the path would not be good, but I'd like to record the best quality signal possible. Any suggestions are appreciated.
    By the way, are there any Plug-ins that allow Auto Levels in recording software?

    >> May not be the same with Sigmatel  audio, but with Realtek in XP, you have to have both the master volume  and the wave volume up in the playback mixer. Have you tried adjusting the Wave level control? <<
    Yes.  For output volume, only the wave volume affects levels in Audition so I set it to maximum.  The master volume changes loudness of the speakers but does not affect Audition's record levels per Audition's level meters.
    For record volume, the "Line-in" slider affects audition level meters.  I adjusted this to maximum.
    With both output (wave) and record (line-in) sliders set to maximum, Audition's record level meters still show a maximum of about -30 db.  When playing the recording back using Audition, the hardware speaker's volume knob has to be turned WAY up to hear the song.
    Thanks for your reply,

  • How do i fix error 4310 when burning a cd in itunes?

    Hello to anyone who knows more about iTunes and window8 than I do.

    Can anyone help, please??????

  • When I put some new CD in my computer iTunes record it in different folders

    Sometimes when I put some new CD in my computer iTunes record it in different folders instead of placing all the songs in one folders. It does that when songs are writen by diffrent people even if it's not a compilation. It happens to old albums or brand new that I just got the shrinkwrap out.
    After that, seeming to be random, he sometimes forget where some songs are and I have to guess where he could have put it, it can record an album in 5 different folders on my hard disk. Is there a way to keep all the songs of the album together? This seems to be a major flaw from my point of view.

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • How do you fix "Unknown error [4310]" when burning CD's from iTunes??

    When I try to burn an audio CD (CD-R) from itunes, it cancells the burning after the first song. It gives a message that says-
    Attempt to burn disc failed. Unknown error occured [4310]. Does anybody know how to fix this? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
    premio   Windows XP Pro   pentium 4; 1.6 mhz

    That particular error, 4310, has no hits in the search I did.
    Can you burn with any other program?
    You might have better luck in the Importing & Burning in iTunes for Windows forums
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=791
    There are some clever people over there that are familiar with more burning hardware than I am.
