5310 - Adjustable Recording Volume

Hello everyone, I recently bought a Nokia 5310 and I really like it so far. But there is this one thing that bothers me, and being a musician, I really need to be able to adjust the recording volume. It says everywhere on the net, and even in the manual that you can adjust the input volume for recording, but the amazing thing is that it doesn't tell you how! I have been looking everywhere in the phone 's configs for it, I've let my friends look, I've read the manual and there is absolutely nothing. Please help me out Thanks in advance, and sorry in advance if there already have been people asking the same (I just signed up a few minutes ago and I have to go make dinner now).

There has to be someone else with a 5310 who has figured this out!

Can't adjust recording volume?!

Every program I've ever used (including the older versions of
Captivate) had the ability to adjust the microphone level. I'm
using Captivate 3 and cannot adjust this level. Any recording I
make has clipping because the input level is set too high. This is
using the exact same equipment I've successfully used in older
versions of Captivate.
Any fixes, or should I return this product and use the old
one?

Cannot Adjust Recording Volume (XFI Elite P

Hello, I'm having trouble with my XFI Elite Pro. Whenever I go to record something and I select the device I want to use the volume knob automatically goes down to the third line. If i turn to turn it up or down it automatically shots back down there instantly. The playback knobs all work fine its only the recording ones and its every device I have that does it. Has anyone ever had this problem? I tried updating to the newest driver/firmware but it didn't change anything. Thanks in advance!

WaveStudio recording volume control

I'm using WaveStudio 7 in concert with my Soundblaster to digitize lp's. I'm also using a Graham Slee preamp with good results. I might be missing this feature somewhere, but I can't seem to find an adjustable recording volume feature. I've even tried to reduce volume input-via the sound card through the Windows device settings. This feature is greyed out.
The older version of WaveStudio had an adjustable input level feature. Does version 7 have one somewhere?
Much thanks!
Zound Guy

Think I have solved it. Go into control panel->sound. Under the recording tab select the appropriate input, Line-In in my case, set as default then adjust properties. Under the levels tab you can increase the volume of the input.

Re: Recording volume control

No Name are U still out there?
Still need some help trying to adjust recording volume. Wish I had read a previous post that advises that the adjustments made by MacMP3Gain were permanent. But anyway, what I did read was the instructive post that said: >When using track gain with a lot of different songs, just make sure that the Target MP3 Gain Value is set to 89 dB, and each track will be adjusted so that the loudest perceived volume of each track will be around 89 dB. <
But I don't see an option for "Track Gain". The only options are Album Gain and Radio Gain. Am using vers. 1.9 Is there another version?
Also- in iTunes, I do no have the Soundcheck option under prefs-->Advance-->Burning. Only have it under Playback. Is that in a newer version of iTunes? Am using 6.0.2. Thank-U.

revised note!!!
I DONT CHECK THE FORUMS SO CAN YOU EMAIL ME DIRECTLY!

If you dont know how can you pass this text on to a group that might?

Why is it auto-adjusting the record volume when I don't want it to?

I start playing and I want the levels to almost clip. It adjusts to a lower record volume. Why? I have the compression and noise gate off.

That's odd. You're using the internal mic and you have the Automatic Level unchecked? If you turn the slider up high enough it should clip like crazy. I don't know why it would back the level down.
Maybe try the "oddball" fixes:

How do I get itunes to stop adjusting the volume

Hi
I am running iTunes 11.0.2.25 and am really annoyed at how iTunes keeps adjusting the volume on me during playback. I am not talking about the 'sound check' or 'sound enhancer' or any other option that I can see in iTunes. They are all set to 'off'. What I am talking about is while I play a song and turn up the volume, iTunes adjusts it down automatically. I can keep doing this until the volume level is at 100% and the volume barely increases - or increases or a moment and then quietens down again. If I move the volume control to say 25%, the volume becomes almost inaudible, but then iTunes gradually increases the volume automatically to a seemingly random level.
How do I get iTunes to leave the friggin volume alone? Or is this something that can't be controlled?
I have looked at adjusting the 'Volume Adjustment' in the 'Get Info' area of individual songs and the setting there makes no difference whatsoever. I am ready to give up entirely on this piece of flawed software if there is no answer to this problem.
Again, I have diabled the 'sound check' option in 'Preferences', so it is not that.
Does anyone know how to get iTunes to play the song as it was recorded digitally without changing it?
My gratitude in advance for a resolution.

Yes, you'll have to individually add each new song that you've downloaded.
When you add them to iTunes--you're just adding the file path to the location on your computer. When you move the file location, iTunes won't know where to look for it and will give you the infamous "!" symbol. Then you'll have to browse to the new location and tell iTunes where to find it.
How many new songs do you add at a time? If it's not many, it's probably easiest to just add them one file at a time.
To find the new songs, the file names should be good clues--they are fairly complete song titles on my computer.
And, you might want to do this each time you download a new song so you don't forget to add them!

Cannot adjust record audio level with I-Mic as audio in

Hi,
I would like to record audio from my stereo through my Griffin Technologies I-Mic connection using Audacity audio software. I cannot adjust input recording audio down even though I have completely turned off the input audio on Audicity. The recording audio is pegging red and the recorded playback audio is completely overmodulated. The audicity help techs believe the problem lies with my sound card, which happens to be the Sound Blaster 24 bit.
Months ago, I was able to do it, but this time around had no success. Is there something that I can click on the soundblaster that will allow audicity to properly adjust the input audio?
Karl

Wow, here I go again..... I found out how I locked up the audio track of my video file.
After I re-imported my original video recording, and had adjusted the volume level, I had to expand my video image to fill my "canvas". When I went to transform this layer, I was told I must first convert this to a smart object. As soon as I did that, the track turned from blue to purple!
I would hope that if I edit my original video track in such a simple way, that I would NOT loose access to adjusting the volume of my video track...... But that is the odd way that this works.............

Mic recording volume too high

Even with the lowest input volume setting in System Preferences / Sound, the mic recording volume is too high and I'm getting clipping. I'm using an MXL Desktop Recording Kit from Marshall Electronics, with a Griffin iMic USB interface, and recording in GarageBand 3 on a Mac Mini.
I'm a folk singer playing a nylon-string classical guitar, so I'm not even especially loud! The MXL mic captures great sound quality, but it is so sensitive that even when I'm six feet away, my acoustic guitar and vocals frequently max out the sound levels and get clipped. The room where I record doesn't allow me to get much farther away, so I need a different solution.
I've tried using compression while recording, but this doesn't appear to limit the peaks or prevent clipping. Do I need to buy a hardware mixer or some other interface to allow me to further reduce the mic input level, or is there another software contol in GarageBand or someplace else (other than System Preferences / Sound) that I'm missing?
I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks, David
Mac Mini G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) GarageBand 3

Thanks for these suggestions. I suspected GB effects wouldn't change the recording levels, but appreciate the confirmation. I checked the Audio/Midi setup in GB preferences, and I don't see anywhere to adjust the recording level there, just a selection for the audio input (source).
I have been using the iBooster, so I tried plugging the mic directly into the iMic and boosting the input level in System Preferences/Sound. This achieved a much lower input level; so low that the GB tuner couldn't even recognize the pitch of a single string when plucked. So this seems to create the opposite problem (recording volume too low). Good idea to try, though.
I will experiment with the room acoustics and try a larger space, but it still seems the recording level is just too high, period. Any other suggestions?
I saw a reference to a simple mixer in another GB thread (Behringer UB502 Eurorack). Could something like this be a possible solution?
Thanks, David

Creative Media Source record volume level slider doesn't w

I had an older version of Creative Media Source and a installed the latest version off the website to try to fix the problem, but the same thing occurs in the current version. I want to record, but the slider is grayed out and when I try to use it, the whole media source window moves, not the slider. It's stuck on zero. My sound card drivers are installed and working correctly. I can play music and adjust the playback volume. The record volume used to work. I don't know why it stopped.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?
Thanks,
Russ

Recording Volume

Hello,
I have looked for this topic without success. If I missed it forgive me.
Forever I have been able to control the recording volume via the info track selection.
Then just like that it is gray'd out and not allowing me to adjust it.
My wifes G5 runing GB2 had the same problem but fixed itself when she plugged in the Snowball mic by Blue®
I have the same mics and like I sid there were no problems. I have tried everything I know of, from rebooting to reinstalling.
So now when I try to record audio, be it a guitar or vocal I am peeking out all over the place. Even if I go into the main system preferences and bring the output volume for the input way down, the recording is still sounding distorted.
I am using a basic track with no effect either.
Sincerely,
At A Loss

Sorry for the long delay. Never was notified you rang.
Anyway yes it is a USB mic. Problem was:
One the firmware on this new mic was not a Rev1 mic (meaning the Rev1 Snowballs volume input was controllable via the music software .
The new mic's have changed things up a bit by making the user use the systems volume input via the system pref's. (which was a dumb move but oh well)
They do have a better sound quality. Also i think it is note worthy to mention folks who are having problem powering their USB mic throug a HUB. The HUB needs to be powered. I use the HUB Belkin® made for the MacMini® and it works fine.
Thanks,
Robert

Input (Recording) volume vs. Monitor volume

I have scoured the boards and can't find an answer to my problem -- many apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. I'm sure it must have been.
I am trying to record an electric guitar as a Real Instrument track, while monitoring the signal with all the internal effects, etc., as I play.
The instrument is going in through an M-Audio FireWire Solo recording interface.
My problem is: how do I adjust the volume of the instrument that I am hearing back for monitoring purposes without altering the input/record volume of the track?
At present, I have the slider in the Track Mixer section set to how loud I would like the track to record, but I cannot hear the backing track clearly in order to play along, as the electric guitar is so loud.
Turning the Track Mixer slider down seems to decrease recording volume and result in a weak signal, while the "Track Info" volume slider doesn't seem to affect anything at all (even though it is not greyed out).
How do I monitor my performance within the context of a usable working mix while still recording the signal at a good level? There must be a way!
Many thanks in advance!

what do I use for setting record levels?
the interface (the FW SOlo)
the Track Info volume doesn't seem to do anything

Audio and Video sound cuts out when adjusting the volume whilst playing powerpoint presentations

I have just bought a new hp laptop and when running power point presentations with embedded media (for my job) I cannot adjust the volume of the sound when the audio or video file is playing. It simply cuts out and stops the video or sound from playing. I thought at first that this might be an Office 2010 issue but now it seems more likely to be a setting on the laptop. If anyone has any answers they would be much appreciated!! Many Thanks

I hear you on this. I just tested out the 3GS video for a concert where band mixed electronica and guitars.. boom boom satellites and I noticed when close to the speaker side of the stage the sound cut in/out. But when I moved farther away sound remained consistant.
What I may suggest is lowering the volume to mid range when closer to your sound source then
correct (if needed) using outside software.. iMovie Final Cut, etc..
Yes, I wasn't to please about losing sound on a what I recorded.. ~A~

Soundblaster live platinum Recorder volume way too

i've been using this soundcard for awhile and i've never had a problem with it until recently when i tried to record something and it said my sound card wasnt in so i plugged it back in and reinstalled the drivers and i have sound but when i try to record u cant hear anything and i've adjusted the volumes and i've gone and made sure that i went to volume control and checked everything out and everything is set right.. what should i do?

You could try a cleansweep of the soundcard (removing the drivers software completely, then reinstalling):
http://us.creative.com/support/kb/article.asp?l=2&sid=72
Once the card is up and running again, check the mixer settings to ensure the microphone is selected as the recording source, and that you've adjusted the volume. Does it record the signal? If it's recorded, but you can't hear it while you're recording, then check the micrphone isn't muted.

Adjust Quicktime Volume Control when the application starts

3Apr07
I have a problem streaming program. Microsoft stopped supporting Widows Media Player for the Mac.
Micosoft has a application FLIP4MAC-MWV which will either open a window in Safari or has the option of opening a window in Quicktime.
My problem is: The volume level in Quicktime is too high when the stream begins. I use Wiretap Pro to record radio streams while I am at work. The default high volume distorts the recording.
I have tried and tried again to change the default volume level to a middle level, but the stream starts at max volume. How do I change that?
I also have the same problem with the Safari window level.
Can anyone tell me how to adjust the default volume in Quicktime and Safari?
Thank you for reading this post and greater thanks for any recommendations.
Regards,
Craig H. Henden

Thank you for you help. I actually don't use Quicktime-formated files or steams. I used to use Windows Media Player until the Wiretap Pro custormer support recommended I use Flip4Mac WMV to convert Media Player streams to Quicktime compatible. However, the volume is too high.
I did try adjusting the Midi Sound controller. It did not have the effect when Quicktime starts-up.
Most of the time I record using Windows Media Player or Flip4Mac, I am not home to adjust the volume.
I will try adjusting the Midi control again. I wish Flip4Mac converted Media Player formated streams to Itunes. Wiretap pro works very well with itunes.
Regards,
Craig H. Henden
