Adjusting theme music volume in iDVD5?

I've created a couple of videos using FCE HD and placed it in iDVD 5.0.1. I'm using the same music for the beginning of the videos and in the theme menu. Our TV has a "normal" volume range when the setting is between 16-20 on the volume slider.
When the videos are playing the volume is perfect when the TV is at those settings, however the theme music is WAY to loud when going to the menu. I can't seem to find a way to adjust the menu theme music volume in iDVD. Yes I've tried to find it in the iDVD help menu. There only appears to be a speaker icon that turns the music on or off and a volume slider in the preview remote control. Is there a way to do this within iDVD 5? If not, has this feature been added to iDVD 6?

Is there no one who can answer this? Sorry to be pusing by I have a preview of my project in front of a committee tomorrow and would like to fix this if possible. I know I could take the sound file into another app and lower the volume then save it and use that but that isn't very Apple-like. There must be a way to adjust the sound level for the theme music.

When i adjust music volume, wadsapp volume changes too.

I just changed my phone to iPhone 5s from iPhone 4s. I've been listening to music and obviously i wont be listening to music with 100% volume, then i realized when people wadsapp me, the tone was very soft. I played around a little and realized that the volume from Music affected my wadsapp's tone volume too!
When i was using my iPhone 4s changing my music volume doesnt seem to affect my wadsapp tone tho. I've also disabled change with button, so SMS volume wasn't affected, only wadsapp.
Anyone knows if there's any way i can solve this? Else i'd have to keep adjusting the volume after listening to music -_-

Event Guy,
Glad it helped. (I also do not like iTunes to mess with the filenames.)
Enjoy the music!

Music volume discrepancy between different Ipods

I have an Iphone 2G an Ipod Touch and lately i bought an Ipod Classic with 160GB in order to be able to upload most of my music and have it all with me all the time.
It took me quite a lot of time to create my own playlists, especially to adjust and match the volume of each track.
in itunes i adjust the volume with the slider on the options tab if necessary. i can hear the result directly in itunes and i get more or less the same result on my ipod touch and on my iphone. but on my ipod classic the tracks get a completely different volume. tracks that i had to turn up to 100% completely in order to make them sound "right" in itunes are horribly loud on my ipod classic. they are 4-5 times louder than an unadjusted track. i am not sure if this is really intended, i assume it is a bug, as the track-volume i get from my ipod classic doesn't reflect the adjustments i did in itunes.
i tried turning on and off automatic volume adjustment on the ipod, but it didn't change anything, the tracks which should be slightly louder are much too loud now.
i didn't find any workaround for this, as i would need to drag all tracks twice into itunes and adjust them differently if i want to sync them for an ipod touch or an ipod classic.
i hope someone can help, but for me it sounds definitely like an overlooked firmware bug.

it is turned off of course, otherwise itunes will try to adjust the volume automatically, which never really worked when i tried it.
i would prefer to adjust the volume manually for all selected tracks.

Is there any function to automatically adjust the voice volume in the multitrack

I'm trying to mix voice sounds and music files into one track. Sounds easy! But almost every music has its loud parts(for example the climax) and quiet parts. Therefore when i listen to the voice and the music at the same time, the voice files are sometimes relatively too quiet and sometimes to loud. I don want to adjust the volume pan one part after another because I have a lot of files to mix. Could you tell me is there any function I can use to automatically adjust the voice volume to make it always 'just a bit higher than the music'? Or can I read some documents about this problem?
Thank you very much!

Sounds like you want to do what is called "ducking" & "side chaining".
First try using a compressor and or limiter on the voice tracks to get a more even volume.
Google: Audio Ducking tons of stuff on how to.
I myself have never tried this with Audition, or the compressors that come with it. I have done it in other multitrack software and older versions of Dave Browns Compressor.

Lumia 620 music volume not changing..

I've lumia 620,sometimes the music volume is set on constant level but it is only for audio songs(downloaded from Nokia music or pc ). But if i play music from nokia music/or play videos,games,metrotube... The volume does changes except for music from music+videos. Restarting phone stops the issue for time being but it can not be a solution because it happens every day.(i have tried reseting the phone from settings->about) it doesn't solve the issue.

Go to nokia care when you are facing the problem DO NOT RESTART THE PHONE..(otherwise the issue will be solved for time being)... they will do so called software update..(its like formatting the phone only rarely a firmware update) and the issue will be solved for some time but that is not a long term solution..(the issue comes again after some time).... i did it twice now gonna do it 3rd time if the issue pick again i am gonna pull them to consumer court...

Is there a way to adjust the speaker volume through Settings?

Is there a way through settings?

Why I am unable to adjust the ringer volume by the side buttons and there is no ringer with the Mute button OFF

With the mute switch OFF - I am unable to adjust the ringer volume by the side buttons.
When someone calls/texts there is no sound coming from the speaker.
The headphone jack works when I listen to the Ipod and the speaker works when I change the ringer volume through settings. So i know that the speaker does work
Headphone jack seems clean and dust free
I heard that there may be a Skype issue than can control the speaker volume - so i deleted it but i still cannot get any sound from regular functions.
When I play the Ipod through the speaker with no headphones there is no option to change the volume and no sound.
If it works when i go through settings to set my ring volume, my ringtone plays - then why does it not work otherwise?

I have Iphone4s 16GB, IOS7.0.4 updates having a problem , that when i press + or - volume keys while my iphone is ringing my iphone 4s goes silent .
Whereas you know silent key is used to make the ringing phone silent. This button is working ok while only problem is my iphone goes silent while pressing + or - volume keys as these keys should increase / lower the ringing volume . These keys were ok working in IOS 6.
Where as these keys are also working ok in music player of iphone for IOS 7, the only problem is for ringing.

Is there a way to adjust your ringer volume while the iphone is locked? [iOS 7] - as you could in iOS 6?

In iOS 6, when the phone was locked, the user could slide to the emergency call screen then adjust the phone's ringer volume (up or down) by pressing the side volume buttons. I tried to perform the same action in iOS 7 with my 4S and have not been able to figure it out.. has anyone played around with it enough to find the solution? Is there one?

Background Music Volume for imovie '08

So I've added background music to a few clips. I know how to mute the clip volume (so that you just hear the background music), and I know how to duck (so that you can adjust the clip volume louder or quieter than the background music), but how in the world do you actually lower the volume of the background music? I just can't figure it out.
Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for the tip. It seems to actually work a little different on iMovie '08 though. I just highlight the background music clip then bring up the audio adjustment window and adjust it with the top slider. I noticed on the apple website tutorial the inspector was at the top left like you mentioned, but that's not how it looks on the '08 version.
But then another thing that was messing me up was that I had added the music as a voiceover. Dragging the music file and placing it exactly between or over a clip makes it a voiceover which looks like a green bar below the video clip or clips. So first I had to delete that then grab the music file to the blank area at the right side of the video clip. This strangely put the music at the very beginning of the project, so I had to grab the top left corner of the beginning of the music clip then drag it to where in the project I wanted it. This apparently is called pinning the music. My project is going to be an hour long, so it seems like kind of a tedious thing to do to have to drag the music clip through the entire project to place it exactly where you want it. I'm sure there must be a better way to do this, but for now I'm just glad I figured out my mistake and how to set the background music volume.
Thanks again for the advice though.

Background music volume is inconsistent

Why background music volume is inconsistent? The music is low on most of slides as it is supposed to be but suddenly becomes high on some other slides. How to fix it to make them all on the same level? Thank you!

Hi there
When you insert Background music there is an option to reduce the volume on slides that have audio attached to the slide itself. That's usually where narration goes.
Try editing the Background and DE-selecting the option to reduce volume.

How do you adjust the earpiece volume on my 5s, the button has no effect? Is it as I suspect, the phone is faulty or am I missing a trick somewhere?

Thank you for the reply.
ctrl B makes the top bar (File. Edit. View. Controls. Store. Help.) appear and disappear.
ctrl S makes a side bar appear on the left side of iTunes. It shows the library which has Music. Movies. TV Shows. Apps. Playlists. Ect.
When I did the steps you suggested, my iPhone did not show up in that list.
I checked my firewall settings again, and they seem to be okay. My firewall is the only thing that I am not 100% sure of. If I go to Control Pannel>System and Security>Windows Firewall>Allow an app through Windows Firewall. It shows that iTunes is allowed. I'm not sure if something else might need to be allowed as well though. I have a few Remote options that are not allowed such as, Remote Event Log Management, Remote Scheduled Tasks Management, Remote Shutdown, Remote Volume Management, and Routing and Remote Access. I'm not sure if any of these need to be allowed or not, or if they are even affiliated with iTunes.

Stop theme music playing with loaded I-tune music

Load my photo's and video and along with the theme and now I want to get rid of the music that is playing with the theme and play only the music I loaded, but the theme music is also playing in the background at a lower pitch.

Does the sound only come on the instant you press the "increase volume" key? (In other words, does it seem like the default "volume up/down" click noise has been replaced by another piece of sound?). To verify, in the Finder's Go menu, locate "Go to Folder", and when prompted, paste in:
cd /System/Library/LoginPlugins/BezelServices.loginPlugin/Contents/Resources
When the folder opens, scroll to the bottom and look for "volume.aiff". Double-clicking will open it in iTunes and you'll be able to hear if it's the correct "click" sound or something else.
Or, is the sound always there and you just notice it more when you turn the volume up? - In that case, check your Dashboard and make sure there isn't a widget there playing music.
