Audio level setting for music tracks in dance recital video project

I am editing dance recital using the CD music tracks and editing in the audience clapping, some of the music tracks have lower audio level than others.
I am setting up the audio levels between -3dB (for the lower audio tracks) up to -6dB (for the higher ones) including the audience clapping. I am making the adjustments by listening to the tracks on fixed output volume level.
My question is if the final output (DVD) will have the the same adjusted audio levels I am hearing, or should I just stick to fixed level (-6dB) for all the tracks? If so is -6dB ideal for DVD output?

Thanks for your reply Steve,
I normally watch DVDs on different sound system than the TV, however, from your answer I gather you're setting the master level -18 to -20db. If it is so, are you setting the individual tracks below that, and in my case where the audio levels of the original music fluctuate from high to low, would you set them all on the same level or adjust to hear them out the same?

My apple TV is connected to a DTV with an HDMI cable and to my Yamaha receiver via optic cable. We rented a movie on Apple TV and.found that the movie played, but we only got audio for music tracks. Voice tracks were silent using both TV and receiver.

My apple TV is connected to a DTV with an HDMI cable and to my Yamaha receiver via optic cable. We rented a movie on Apple TV and.found that the movie played, but we only got audio for music tracks. Voice tracks were silent using both TV and receiver. This only occurred on the rented video and on recorded shows on my cable DVR. previews and other content on Apple TV are fine. Any ideas??

Previews and trailers do not contain 5.1 audio.
If you have recently moved your setup, you may have inadvertently changed some of the settings on your receiver. It certainly sounds as though it is unable to play the 5.1 audio from the Apple TV.

This is how:
Go to:
'File'
'Share'
'Quicktime'
'Expert Settings'
'Audio as AIFF' or pick your brand of compression.
Drag and drop the resulting file into iTunes.
Enjoy!
P.S. - You didn't need to delete the video but I think that'll be okay.

How to disable Wifi and Network access in low level setting for security ?

Hi
New to here
One of our final customer bought imac last months. OS 10.9, SN is c02*******J4i
Since they are security printing, all the necessary ports accessing to outisdes need to be disabled in low level setting(not the ons just like turn on and off ).
The ports including USB storage, Network and WIFI.
I googled and found the following
Open the /System/Library/Extensions folder.
To remove support for USB mass storage devices, drag the following file to the Trash: IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext
Open Terminal and enter the following command: $ sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions The touch command changes the modified date of the /System/Library/Extensions folder. When the folder has a new modified date, the Extension cache files (located in /System/Library/) are deleted and rebuilt by Mac OS X.
Choose Finder > Secure Empty Trash to delete the file.
Restart the system.
I want to confirm this before sending to final user. Since I didn't have mac on hand, just wonder whether there are similar kext files for network and wifi to remove.
Just like step 2 described.
I would like customer to backup these files before permanently removed.
Many thanks
Kevin

Is it possible to disable Internet access point and WAP as when I use WiFi some connections to WAP server of my provider are still made and I get charged. I am looking for the option not to delete it entirely from the access point list, but rather disable it as I might need connection when WiFi is not available and I want to be able to enable it as once I delete the server name and setting I won't know it.
Is it possible to do it and how?
You could delete WAP accesspoint. Not all providers (carriers) allow this.

Audio level settings for clips

is there an easier way to change audio levels of a batch of clips in the timeline,other than going through them one by one ?
cheers

yes... select all the clips on the timeline you want to change, then press commandoptionL (altappleL) which will bring up the Gain Control window... you can enter a value here, and all the selected clips will change accordingly.
In the options box of this window you have Relative and Absolute... Relative means that each clip will be adjusted by the value you enter relative to it's current setting... Absolute means that, no matter what the clips are set at, every clip will change to the value you enter...
Good luck.

Audio Level Adjustment for Multicam Clip

Greetings,
I have 2 issues while some audio tweaking for a Multicam edit. I have assigned the audio for a single angle to apply to the entire sequence.   There are some clips in the sequence where, at times, I cannot adjust the level of the audio. It will show the level when clicking with the selector, but it cannot be dragged up or down.   Stranger still, if I select it within a series of clips and use CTRL -/+ to change levels, it is unchanged even though all the others changed. There is nothing differnent about the clips in question (they are not Compound Clips or anything.)
Restarting seems to often fix the above problem. But it seems to be happening enough that it's a real inconvenience. Also I am having similar issues with the audio level meter freezing up intermittently. Sometimes when I toggle audio skimmer it can correct it for a while, but once it starts, a restart is inevitable.   Does anyone have any workarounds for making this work properly?
One last question that is not a glitch but a functionality I hope exists but cannot find. Given that I have one angle of audio for the entire clip, I want very badly - and feel like it should be possible - to make adjustments to the audio as I would if it were one continuous clip; for instance, to be able to select a range across the clip transitions and adjust levels accordingly. So far the best workaround is to select all the clips and use CTRL -/+ to adjust. But this allows less control, because I must then go in and adjust sections of clips on the ends that I did not want changed.   Would love to know if anyone knows a way!
Thanks for your time and assistance!
Brian

I would think it would be easiest to open the muticlip in the Angle Editor where you would have a clear view of each individual angle and its audio.

Change Default Application level setting for checkbox value from "On"/"Off" to 1/0

Hi,
I am creating livecycle designer forms. In that the checkboxes take a default value of "On'/"Off" and I have to change it to 1 and 0 in all the boxes on layout checkbox property.
In livecycle i have to change it in Object-Binding tab.
Is there an application level setting where I can set the default to 1 and 0 instead of "on/"off" at the app level itself? this way every new form will have 0 and 1 instead of off/on
I export the form data to XML and push it to database and it needs 1 and 0.
I need the app setting for both Adobe Acrobat 9 Extended Pro
Please help

It is 1/0 by default .....if you drag a checkbox from the object library onto the canvas and you are getting on/off as your default, then you have modified th eobject. You can set the object the way you want (anf property not just binding) and then you can drag the object back onto the Library palette. This will ask you to name it and if you choose the same name it will overwrite the one that is in the library.

Editing to music track - possible to compile video non sequentially?

Hello chaps.
I'm creating a family skiing video, editing it tightly to a music track - someone falling over hits the beat, etc. You know the drill.
I've run into one problem and I'm trying to work out if I'm missing something obvious, or whether it is a case of can't do that:
What I would like to do.
Rather that simply adding video sequentially from the beginning, there are certain clips that I know will fit well towards the end of the song. I'd like to place them there now. Continually editing from the front tends to lead to me using the best material at the beginning. Yes, I know I'm weak, but I'd like to place key anchor clips in first and then work around them with what's left.
The problem
iMovie 11 mutes the sound track after the end of the last piece of video in the project - so there's no obvious way to add video later on in the track.
What I've tried.
I've tried adding a single black clip that lasts the length of the track, but what I'd then like to do is be able to paste a clip to the playhead and have it replace that portion of the black clip. I can't quite work out how to do that, or if it is the correct approach. Placing the clip as a cut-away almosts works, but having the entire movie comprising cutaways is clearly silly.
Am I missing something?
Does anyone have any advice as to a better or correct approach?

Bengt mentioned using dummy black photos (clips) as placeholders. Another option is to use the templates that are used in Trailers. These are located in the Map, Background & Animatic Browser (the last browser on the far right next to the Transition Browser). Apple calls these templates (or placeholders) "Animatics".
The animatics can be placed along the timeline with varying durations. Later, when adding an actual clip, drag and drop it directly onto one of the animatics. Select Replace from the pop-up menu. If the duration of the actual clip differs from the animatic, the clip's duration will over-ride the animatic's duration. So, it will be a little tricky lining it all up.
I haven't tried this personally, but it may work better than using Cutaways, but could be pretty tedious.
Bengt's assumption regarding Final Cut Pro X is correct - it will handle this type of thing easily. As I understand it, you can insert an audio track, then position video in appropriate places along the timeline without gaps closing up.

Why does bouncing lower the audio level of my music extremely?

Whenever I bounce music from the timeline, the result of the audio file is extremely lowered. I tried taking 'normalize' off but that just distorts the file. Help!

there's a lot of variables in this, so before we determine WHY the volume is being lowered, let's first be absolutely sure the volume is being lowered, and not something else.
do this...
Bounce a mix from a Logic session, and re-import this stereo file back onto a stereo track, with the volume set to unity gain (zero).
Solo this track, and hit PLAY
Assuming you haven't changed the volume of your playback speakers, is this bounced file playing back at the same volume as the song session file?

Blue tooth head set for music

hi anyone know how to make a blue tooth head set work for the music in the iphone? I have the new motorola ((( S9 ))) the phone side of it works well but their is no music side of it.
on Motorola's web page. it say's the phone has to sapport ((( A2DP ))) to be able to stream music.
dose anyone know if the iphone has sapport for it or will or willnot so I could return my headsets or keep it for latter.
can sapport for advanced audio distribution profile be added in an upgraid or is it hardwear that can not be addedd.
any help or advice is welcomed
ps is there anyway to conviced apple to add this feature

It's all a matter of priorities for the first release. The iPhone was a HUGE undertaking. A whole new adaption of OSX (sounds like they are using a lot of Leapord in there) on a whole new processor, every app is rewritten for a finger-interface, etc etc.
I'll bet you'll see streaming music/audio VERY shortly possibly end of the month when they start shipping the Apple Bluetooth headphone.

Best video setting for music production?

I am getting set up with my new MBP15 2.53 with 4GB of RAM. Have a question -- my most intense application is music production in Logic Studio. I always have the power cord connected when using it and am not currently using an external monitor.
Will it make any difference in Logic's ability to handle MANY tracks which internal video card I use? Does the enhanced card put less or more drag on the system if you are not gaming?

JDF,
It shouldn't make any difference one way or another. On the face of it, using the integrated GFX would obviously consume some of the available RAM, but it turns out that it doesn't matter whether the integrated GPU is active or not; that RAM gets allocated to the GPU anyway (even when using the discrete GPU).
The issue of whether or not physical RAM is being allocated to the integrated GPU is the only issue that could possibly have any bearing. Since it is always allocated, it makes no difference.

Database level setting for timestamp format

Is there any way by which I could set the timestamp format for a database
Something similar to timestamp sesion setting like
alter session set nls_timestamp_format = 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF1'

You can define NLS parameters at the instance level in the parameters file. But any redefinition at the client side will overcome this.

A good audio level range for export to DVD (for a short film)

Hello,
This question was a bit hard to search for... what is the recommended audio range to keep my project within if I am making a short film which I plan to export to DVD.
As of now, a lot of my audio stays between -30 and -18, even if I turn it up all the way in each clip. Is it a problem if I add the "Boost" effect to every single audio clip I have? Or is there a quicker way to turn up the audio (Master volume is already at 100%)
Thanks!

I shoot for about -6dB, with no peaks above 0dB.
Sounds like you have a very weak signal. I'd set away from PrPro and handle this in SB, or Audition. Listen carefully with a good pair of noise-canceling headphones first, and then test on monitors.
Are you working in mono, stereo or 5.1 SS?
Good luck,
Hunt

Can I extend a music track beyond photo or video image?

I am in iMovie 11 and trying to extend a sound track at the end of my project to play past the final image. My song still has 1 minute 30 seconds according to the clip master, but the song ends with the last picture. I can't pull the sound strip beyond the last picture, and when I try to extend in clip master it reverts back to end picture images. Is there a way to have the music play past the final image?

You need to have video or a photo/still running with the audio. You can't drag the audio track beyond the last image. You will need to add a further image or video to cover the remaining part of the song.
To insert a black image, go to the Map, Background and Animatic Browser (the last icon in the centre tool bar). Drag the Black (or any other) background to the end of your project. Double-click this to bring up the Inspector and change the duration to match the section of song you wish to cover. After inserting the background, you will need to drag out the sound track to its full limit (adjust the image duration again if necessary).

Audio mixing (track not clip) .Precise level entry for KF levels?

Ive done a lot of tutorials on setting and mixing audio levels, both clip and track in PrP 5.5 . I want to know the best way to add a keyframe on the timeline (in track audio mode) and enter a precise db setting. Dragging up and down is pretty random and not accurate, especially when setting levels for 2 mono tracks for stereo.
I am not interested in using the track mixer in live mode because again it is to inaccurate and needs cleaning up. I tried right clicking on the keyframes and got everything EXCEPT the ability for numeric entry. A real basic function for audio mixing.

Well, upon further inspections its the CLIP volume key frames that are displayed in the Audio Effects area. When you are trying to do TRACK key frames on the timeline, its necessary to click on the SHOW KEY FRAMES icon at the start of the TL audio track. When you switch to SHOW TRACK KEY FRAMES suddenly the clip cannot be loaded in the SOURCE window (which kind of makes sense) and so the TRACK key frames are not visible for numeric entry.
So the problem with no ability for numeric entry assigning key frames a db still exists.
