Adjusting the input level of my laptop mic in LE?

I tried making a recording using the laptop mic, but I can't adjust the input level - tried doing it from the preferences in the "sound" of my laptop, but it won't adjust levels in LE? Any help?

If a proper license is held for the product, MS do say that you can use any legitimately-acquired media to re-install.
If the computer originally shipped with a manufacturer-supplied copy of Windows (OEM), then only the media from the OEM should be used. This might require him to purchase a set of recovery discs or USB from the OEM.
It may be possible to retrieve/download a copy of Windows 8.0 or 8.1 from the MS website, with only a product key, but, it is common for modern computers sold now, that there is no visible product key (instead, the key is stored in firmware)
If you need to download Windows 8.1, to create installation media, this article may help:

  • Why can't I adjust the recording level for a Blue mic???

    Why can't I adjust the recording level for a Blue mic???

    Most Blue usb mics have a gain control somewhere on them.

  • LP8- adjust digital input level?

    Is there any way to internally adjust the input level coming from my interface via firewire?
    Long version- recording live music, from the line level analog record outs from the main mixer (usually RCA or 1/4"), into a Focusrite audio interface (multi-tracked with some mics), and then connected digitally via firewire to my MacBook Pro. Problem is, that with most of the shows I record, there's no actual sound person and the main mixer is left of to the artist performing, and they often times won't hesitate to push the levels well into the red.
    That's bad enough, but I might be able to work some magic if I could pull back the level in my laptop and at least avoid the digital distortion internally. Is there a way to do that or am I stuck with the output level of that main mixer?

    Well, like I said, I don't have control over the level of those inputs. And be that as it may, I was really hoping that there'd be some way to adjust the input level (no matter if it's too high or too low on anything in between) in Logic when recording from a digital source.
    But thanks for your help, Pancenter.
    I don't think you understand gain staging... the distortion is happening way before Logic so it doesn't matter what levels you set for recording in Logic, you would still be recording a distorted signal because it's happening  at the Line In - A/D convertors.
    Basic audio 101
    If the signal coming into any recording device is too hot for the input stage to handle, it doesn't matter the recording level because it's the circuitry (whether analog or digital) that's distorting.
    I honestly think your only option if to use an attenuating device between the mixer and Focusrite.
    I'll be curious to hear what Focusrite says.

  • FaceTime limits the input level of the internal mic, FaceTime limits the input level of the internal mic

    I can use Skype without any issue with my MBAir, but as soon as connect using facetime, my internal mic loses it sensibility (I've tracked it under the Preferences/Sound/Input). After disconecting, I can see that the mic starts functioning normally again.

    you should be able to set it with the input slider in the Track "i"nfo pane

  • I need to change the input level and I can not open the track info pane in the new garageband. Can you help me?

    I have tried the help menu. It only shows how to open the track info pane in the old garageband. It shows the info button, which is not in garageband anymore. I need to open the track info pane to change the input level. If there is another way to do this please tell me.

    Open the "Smart Controls" for your track, and then press the Info button .
    The "record level" slider is at the top of the Info panel below the track heads.

  • Is their a way to adjust the input for the built in microphone for my iPad?

    Is their a way to adjust the input for the built in microphone for my iPad? What it is recording is so quiet I can barely hear anything when it plays.
    Output works fine with videos and music, but not when I record something.
    The sound is all the way up during the recording and during playback.

    Hi!
    Generarly speaking you can't but some apps have that build-it to them. For your sound issues I recommend checking app settings.
    There have been reports that some iPads had defective or disconnected microphones.  You may need to show it to an Apple Store Genius.  If they agree it is bad, you may get a new iPad on the spot.
    If there is no Apple Store near you, search for an Apple Authorized Repair Center.  There may be one in your city.  In the US, <United States>.  Outside the US, <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1434>.

  • Auto adjust the audio levels

    I have my iMac hooked up to my TV and when I watch movies from it the audio levels very quite a bit. Some parts are really loud and some are very quiet. Is there a program that can auto adjust the audio levels out of the mac?

  • Is there a way to adjust the audio level/equalizer on an iphone4/4s or an app that would work better?

    Never mind I found it

    I don't believe that there's a way to find the peak (or peaks) within FCE. But if the track isn't normalizing then there should be at least one peak somewhere.
    However, I have experienced audio anomalies when playing back and when exporting content with four to six audio tracks: at certain moments, the volume rises abruptly, even though such a volume increase is not present in any of the audio tracks. Perhaps FCE is incorrectly "reading" a volume increase at a certain moment, thus interpreting it as a peak, and therefore "deciding" that normalization is not possible.
    By the way, my solution for fixing the audio anomaly that I mentioned above was to process my audio in an external editor, as I simply could not get FCE to handle it properly, even after trashing my preferences files, trashing all of my render files, creating a new Sequence and copying my clips to it, etc.

  • Is there an ability to adjust the IOPS level/range that a storage disk can provide?

    O/S - CentOS 6.5
    VM type: Extra-small, 768MB RAM
    I have an extra 20GB storage disk that was provisioned for a VM to function as a DBDATA disk. Spot testing I can tell this additional storage disk performs much better than the boot disk/drive (~2000 IOPS versus 120 IOPS) where my O/S is installed.
    I searched around the portal and dashboard site, but I could not find a dial or slider switch where I could set set/tweak the IOPS settings for the attached storage drive.
    Questions
    1) Does anyone know if a configurable IOPS setting is available in the portal/dashboard area somewhere?
    2) As mentioned, this "additional" storage drive can perform much better than the boot disk (~2000 IOPS compared to ~120 IOPS), is there a reference for what the maximum IOPS are that these storage drives can deliver?

    Hi John,

    You could set IOPS on your VM. About this issue, I recommend you watch this video form channel 9 (http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/NorthAmerica/2013/MDC-B345#fbid=).
    You could see the [ 44:40 ]

  • Capture Audio through USB interface - How to adjust input level?

    My USB turntable offers Line In and USB in order to connect it to my iMac. I would prefer USB but there is no way to adjust the input level. This only seems to be possible with Line In. Is this correct or is there anything I should know?

    The only way to change levels with an A/D audio interface is BEFORE the analog/digital conversion.
    If your turntable outputs USB (a digital connection), then the A/D stage is within the turntable, and any level adjustment will have taken place within there (I'm betting there's a level adjustment trimpot somewhere inside if you can't see any knobs from the outside).
    This shouldn't be a problem, though, because the maximum levels a vinyl LP can produce are limited by groove spacing and the sheer amount of vibration the needle can take before jumping out of the groove. The turntable will have been adjusted for this at the factory (I'd assume), so you can safely use the USB out - the turntable's A/D stage is bound to sound better than the $1.50 A/D-D/A chip built into the computer.

  • Stop the built-in mic's input level from decreasing during videochat?

    No matter how many times my girlfriend sets her Late 2008 15" MBP's built-in mic's input level to max, the input level always decreases on its own during our videochat sessions.
    Since the level decreases more when she watches loud videos during our videochat sessions, I'm thinking the input level is auto-adjusting itself to the increase in noise level or something.
    I've googled and search the discussion forums to no avail.
    If anyone knows how to stop this auto-adjusting thing from happening, I'm all ears.

    Hi,
    I have seen a couple of threads on this now.
    The iChat 4 "Fix" does not seem to work.
    Deleting the other .plist to do with Audio in that Audio folder in Snow Leopard also doe not help.
    I have only seen it posted about internal mic on iMacs and laptops.
    However I do not suffer from it myself.
    I have tried changing an Audio setting and comparing the Date Modified column items to see if anything gets changed.
    The SystemPreferences.plist in my Home Folder list that I opened the Sound preferences but not the settings.
    None of the Audio .plists are showing any change. (in Hard Drive/Library/Preferences)
    At the moment I am mystified as to where any setting is stored.

  • Boosting the mic input level

    I want to boost the very faint signal from my low-end, basic dynamic mic into my iMac so the input level is higher.
    I would appreciate any feedback on any of the following products or choices:
    My choices seem to be a mic pre-amp:
    http://www.guitarcenter.com/Behringer-TUBE-ULTRAGAIN-MIC100-Preamp-182482-i11252 16.gc
    or
    http://www.guitarcenter.com/M-Audio-Audio-Buddy-100387450-i1154049.gc
    Or a basic mixer (which evidently has a built-in mic pre-amp:
    http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/Behringer-Xenyx-502-Mixer?sku=63126 2
    Or an audio-interface:
    http://www.guitarcenter.com/M-Audio-MobilePre-USB-Portable-Audio-Interface-10221 2776-i1154077.gc
    Any intel or thoughts on these would be much appreciated. I'm going for decent, clean sound quality, not Abbey Road.

    Hey jvanostran,
    Sorry to hear you are having these issues with your Mac. If you are having issues with your mic not retaining the input volume levels in the Sound preference pane, you may want to try repairing the permissions on the startup volume, resetting the System Management Controller (SMC), and resetting the NVRAM. You may find the following articles helpful:
