Audio Inserted In Multitrack Is 3db Lower Than Source

Why is it that when I insert an audio file into multitrack, it automatically plays 3db lower than the source file?
I can double-click on the clip in multitrack and it's full volume in edit view.
JJ

This is the default multitrack Panning Law option, changeable under Preferences > Multitrack > Panning Mode.
Briefly, when a mono signal is sent to the left and right channels, the perceived volume will be higher when panned center than the source.  The dB reduction on the Master corrects this imbalance and prevents clipping in this scenario.  Changing the preference to "Left/Right Cut (Logarthimic)" should behave as you might expect, where the output level is the same as the source level, though you'll need to manually accomodate any clipping or issues that might occur.

  • Video downloads volume 3db lower than Music downloads

    I dont know if this is the proper area for this , but no matter what settings I play with my video downloads from the Music Store are about 3db lower than the music I download ( that is HALF as loud as the other for you non engineers) Pream settings , EQ boosting etc , doesnt do anything , either on Itunes or the IPOD . Is there ANY reson why the video sounds are of such poor quality and with no way to correct them ?
    Thanks

    Several months back, I had a similar problem.  There was a phantom 7G whenever I had the "Sync Movies" box checked in the iTunes sync configuration.  I'd uncheck the box and the 7G would go bye-bye.  Check it again and thge 7G returned.  This 7G chunk appeared on both the computer's iTunes and on the iPad.  Didn't matter that no other boxes were checked and that no movies were actually on the iPad.
    I resolved the issue with a Restore, which is easy to do but a bit time consuming.
    If you decide to go that route, connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • Volume in multi cam sequences drastically lower than source clips

    When I put a multi cam sequence into a new sequence the volume level is drastically lower than on the source clips.  Each source clip has 2 mono audio tracks instead of 1 stereo track.  Does that make a difference?
    Rex

    Typically only A1 is used in the multicam cut, so yes the overall volume would be lower than with all audio tracks active.

  • Sequence quality much lower than source video

    I guess this is the right place to post for FCP 7?
    I have a video project in which I've imported high quality video files (1280x1024 screen capture, AVI). I've made sure that my sequence settings match the same dimensions as the source clips and that compression is set to "None." The clip settings can't be modified, and there's no pop-up when I import a clip to the timeline asking if I want to change my sequence settings. I've removed all the attributes to the clips, but there's none applied. I do have to render, though.
    When I preview the source video in the viewer it looks great, but in the canvas it looks like it's at half the quality or worse. The render comes out the same - horrible quality, despite being the right dimensions.
    I have no idea what I'm missing. Why would it appear fine in the viewer but not in the canvas? Especially if my sequence settings aren't any lower?
    I used the default settings when I created the project. If it wasn't set to "use settings from first clip," and somehow that's the issue, how can I change the project's settings without having to redo my whole film? Going to project properties in the edit menu doesn't give me any options for quality, size, etc.

    Here's something else for comparison...one of the clips makes me select to change the sequence settings, the other does not. This is a screenshot of the viewer of that clip, next to the sequence with that clip for which it's been set to the exact same settings. Yet you can see a clear quality difference in the full size version...this is what it's like throughout the whole project, whether it's text, image, or video.
    I feel like there has to be some simple setting somewhere...like a draft view...that would explain this.

  • Video audio lower than Music audio?

    An example I ran across was The Postal Service. The song "Such Great Heights", would play at one audio level, while the audio is much more quiet for the video for "Such Great Heights".
    Is there a reason? Or am I completely off?
    Such Great Heights - Audio
    The video is the second from the bottom on the playlist.
    Thanks for any insite you can offer.

    I don't know.
    just in Itunes and on an ipod the audio on video tends to be quieter than the audio on regular song files.

  • Inconsistent audio volumes with audio inserted via Properties panel and Audio menu

    My course includes audio imported using the Audio menu (Import to Slide). On a few slides that have Captivate 6 Interactions, I had to include the audio using the Properties panel so the audio would play during the course of the entire slide and not pause when the Interaction appears.
    The issue I'm having is, the audio inserted using the Audio menu plays at a lower volume than the audio inserted using the Properties panel. All audio files were recorded at the same time using Adobe Audition, so the volume level should be the same.

    Yes, we are having the same issue, calling up a video on Netflix and having zero audio. Seemingly random, yet consistent. If we try the movie a week or month later, it still has no audio. We have a newer Television, have the HDMI cord, optical audio, state of the art. We're upgraded to the latest. So .....what's up Apple?

  • "Insert into Multitrack" keeps inserting on new track instead of one I've selected

    Hello, Everyone!
    I've just installed Audition 3.0 (upgraded from 1.5) on Windows Vista. Looks great, but when selecting a section of audio from the edit window for "Insert into Multitrack," it keeps putting the clip/selection on the next unused track instead of the track I've selected, despite what I do. Its all from one audio file and the clips are short, so it doesn't appear to be a time issue or difference in file type. I'm assuming its something simple relating to the mulittrack/edit window set-up I'm missing that I haven't seen yet.
    Any Ideas?
    Here are some pics below ...
    Track is selected and marker line (or whatever its called) is at appropriate point, just like in Audition 1.5 (note highlighted track) ...
    Then selection/clip is higlighted in Edit Window, then "Insert" is selected, ...
    But puts clip here anyway (note highlighted clip) ...
    So that's what's going on ... any suggestions?
    Thanx!
    ---Ron

    Not that I'm aware of, but I'll check it out. The problem is, it shouldn't be doing that at all, even if it is overlapping ... every single solitary audio editing software I've ever used (Saw, CakeWalk, ProTools, Audition 1.5, etc.,) puts the clip where ever the cursor is, so I have to believe its something I'm missing ... some box I need to uncheck somewhere or something.

  • T520: Power adapter voltage is lower than recommended

    Hello everybody,
    I bought a Thinkpad T520 last august and totally perfect, but I have been receiving extrange messages when booting it. It sometimes says 'The power adapter voltage is lower than recommended' or something similar. I have been using normally but today I read that the Thinkpad AIO have power adapters problems, so I wondered if I may have the same. I'm sure mine has something wrong, because it has lately been slowly. I have ArchLinux on it so it's really light, but even with it, opening a terminal takes 2 seconds.
    I don't know what to do. It seems I have the same problem as the AIO or something related. I'm not planning to contact through phone because I'm not a native english speaker and the last time I called I didn't get a lot of things they told me...
    I hope anyone can guide me in what to do. I'm happy with the Thinkpad overall, but I would like to fix this.
    Regards to everyone,

  • EXS24 loading samples become one semi tone lower than assigned key

    When I load samples into a new instrument as a zone by dragging them to a key, somehow they become assigned to the adjacent key, one semi tone lower than the note. Eg: I put a sample on C2, when I hit the keyboard it is tiggered by B1. How to resolve this ? Is there a setting somewhere ? It certainly does not appear to have any thing to do with my 'mother' keyboard (M-Audio Ozonic).
    Thanks for any insight into this issue

  • Why is volume of Spotify so much lower than all other apps?

    So I've just installed the Spotify app on my Sony z3 and the volume is so much lower than all the other audio out puts.. I have no issue listening to audio normally via the normal music player but with Spotify I have to put volume on max and muck about with equaliser... I'm pretty disappointed about this and if there is no solution I doubt I'll continue beyond the trial as is not fit for purpose as it is.. And help is appreciated.

    Yeah it also gives the illusion of crappy sound because you can't hear everything. People think it's muffled because it can't play as loud. I even analyzed the audio to see how it compared to other services by normalizing the audio. Everything sounded the same but at the regular volume it sounds muffled. I really wish they would raise the default volume.

  • Windows 7's Infection Rates Five Times Lower Than Windows XP

    "Windows 7's marketshare continues to grow at a steady pace at the expense of its two older siblings, Windows Vista and XP, according to the data from StatCounter. In terms of global usage, Windows XP is at 46.44%, Windows Vista at 12.5%, and Windows 7 at 32.64%. Good news for everyone, right? Well, if these adoption numbers aren't convincing enough, perhaps this might convince you (or your technologically challenged peers) - Windows 7 has the lowest infection rates per quarter amongst Microsoft's currently supported operating systems."

  • "The version of the Player that you are trying to install is lower than what is currently installed" when installing 14.0.0.176

    I've been deploying flash updates thru SCCM for a long time using the MSI.  With this update, many computers updated successfully, but about 200+ of them failed.  Each computer I have looked at has the message "Product: Adobe Flash Player 14 ActiveX -- The version of the Player that you are trying to install is lower than what is currently installed." in event viewer.  Attempting a manual install of the MSI produces a similar interactive message.  The current installed version is definitely older than the one I am attempting to install.  I am only able to re-mediate by manually uninstalling, and then installing 14.0.0.176.  I could script and deploy an uninstaller, but I would rather the bug with the MSI be fixed.

    Dear María,
    Finally, I have been able to reproduce the error, both in ActiveX and plugin installers updating from version 15.0.0.246.
    Here you have the logs:

  • Down payment amount cannot be higher/lower than the preset value Error

    Hello.  Can anyone help me with this error.  When creating a down payment request from a sales order with a billing plan, I get the message 'Down payment amount cannot be higher/lower than the preset value' and the document isn't released to accounting.  When creating the sales order, I included a condition type that I created.  The billing plan then calculates the down payment request value with the total sum i.e net value plus condition value.  Upon creating the down payment request in VF01, I get this message.  I did a test and noticed that, if the condition is not included in the sales order, the down payment request is created without errors.  How do I correct this?  Thanks for you anticipated response.

    Hi
    As you are getting error, 'Down payment amount cannot be higher/lower than the preset value' ,please check the total value of the document.So in the sales document ,billing plan check what is the invoice value for the first billing date , also check what is the sales order value.Secondly what is the condition type that has been created and for what purpose it is being used.
    Regards
