Audio recorded too high - can I change

I'm doing a slideshow for my daughter's cheer banquet & found that some of the video clips that I am using is at high levels and you can hear a high pitched sound - can I get rid of the high pitched sound (kinda like a stereo that is played too loud on speakers) without turning down the music?
Also, what is the best way to sync music to your dvd presentations (pictures & music)? I have, in the past, played songs to pictures and fading in and out of different songs but I guess that is not syncing, is it? I would like to make it a powerful presentation as this is my daughter's senior year?
Thanks for any input.

  • Audio level too high

    I created a slideshow with music behind it in iPhoto. It plays fine althought the audio level is noticably higher than another project I made with a different song. I added both projects to an iDVD project so I can burn 1 disc with both slideshows. They both preview fine in iDVD. Now after I burnt the dvd the audio tracks are distorted when I play them on my home DVD player. It seems the audio level is too high. Is anyone able to tell me how I can adjust my background music level? Thanks for the help.

    Thanks for the reply John. I thought I saw a setting to change levels somewhere but I think that was when I was importing a movie from my camcorder. I will try to edit the levels as you suggested later today and report back.
    Incidentally, the audio is not distorted when I play the dvd from my computer. I am also going to see if I can get some other players to try it on.

  • Audio is too quiet--can it be amplified?

    I occasionally download YouTube videos that have to do with history, for my history class (I'm a teacher) and I string them together and edit them in Final Cut Pro 5, then use iDVD to burn them to DVDs to show in class. Of course, the video is often lousy, but these are throwaway one-time-use videos anyway, and the narration is often more important than the picture.
    But sometimes I have a problem with the soundtrack of the video being too quiet to hear well, even with the audio volume line raised to the max in the timeline.
    Is there any way that I can raise the volume of these audio clips further in Final Cut, using an audio filter or something? I looked at all the audio filters in the menus, and I can't figure out what most of them do. I don't see any with "amplify" in their name. Can it be done somehow?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Tom,
    An instance of the Compressor/Limiter filter will help to reduce the dynamic range of the clip ...
    Select your clip in the timeline, then choose Effects menu > Audio Filters > Final Cut Pro > Compressor/Limiter, then double click the clip to open it into the Viewer window. Now click the Filters tab in the Viewer so that you can adjust the filter settings. For your needs you'd probably want to first check the "Preserve Volume" checkbox, set the Ratio to about 10, then progressively reduce the Threshold until you achieve the desired level.
    By the way, when you play with audio filters its usually going to be necessary to hear the effect of the changes you're making in the filter in real time, right? So you'll want to be sure that you are playing through the clip in the timeline whilst you make these changes ... you might also want to loop that playback if its a short clip. An easy way to do this is to position the playhead over the clip and then press "X" to mark an In and Out point at the extents of the clip, then press "Control L" to toggle "Loop Playback" mode, and press "Shift Backslash" to "Play In to Out" ... the clip should play continuously now whilst you mess with the audio filter parameters as necessary.
    Hope it helps

  • 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

  • BluRay error message "code 6, audio buffer underflows. Total bitrate is too high near time = 000000 seconds."

    Hello,
    I’m trying to create BluRays using Encore and I keep getting the following error messages: ‘code 6, audio buffer underflows. Total bitrate is too high near time = 000000 seconds.”
    For info, I created a H264 Bluray - NTSC 24fps master from an Apple prores HQ in Adobe Media Encoder. Duration: 52m, size: 11go. I'm on Mac OSX 10.9.5, the bluray burner is Samsung SE-506CB/RSWD and the BR disks are TDK Blu-ray Disc 50 Spindle - 25GB 4X BD-R - Printable.
    I looked around in forums and tried the following without success: replacing disk name to shorter name without space, creating bluray without menu frame, I also tried with a Mpeg2 bluray master. I tried to export a new master but I can't seem to be able to change the audio bitrate.
    Can anyone please help ?
    Thanks.

    Hi Stan, thanks for getting back.
    I tried to create a new master from Media Encoder but I can only export audio in PCM, I don't get a dolby option. See pic below.
    I tried a new project in Encore and chose PCM instead of Dolby in the preference menu, but I still got the same error. Should I try again limiting bitrate to 15 ? I was on 30 before.
    Please help, I've already wasted 10 bluray and this is getting really frustrating!

  • Audio Input Gain Too High - Line Input

    Using GarageBand, I'm trying to record audio on the line level input. It records, but it's always too high. I can hear the distortion and see the clipping in GB. Using System Preferences Sound, I set the input level all the way to 0 and it makes no difference.
    My sound source is the line-level output of an 8 channel PA.
    Any ideas?

    Got it fixed, defective user

  • Mic level too high when recorded, how to fix?

    I have an interview where the mic level has been too high when recorded.
    The sound is basically usable, it's not all rubbish, but how to fix this?
    I know there are tools for this, just don't know what they are.
    Thanks for helping.

    If the audio is clipped there's not much you can do other than re-record. But there is this: http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/RX/

  • HP Pavilion dv7-1130us IDT HD sound card problem: recording levels too high

    I have been trying to get the IDT HD sound card in my HP Pavilion dv7-1130us laptop to allow me to switch from "microphone" to "Line In" input signal. I cannot find an option anywhere in the laptop do this. There is not a separate Line-In jack on the laptop. The mike jack is it.  
    The reason I'm trying to change the input setting is that I am using Audacity/Lame (the Win 7-compatible Beta version) to convert old cassettes to MP3. My laptop came with Vista but I upgraded to Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) earlier this year.
    The problem is that recording levels are way too high using the mike input and so the recording comes out harsh and distorted. I have tried all possible recording level adjustments on the tape deck (no option), IDT sound card control panel, Windows device manager, etc.
    From what I am reading on the online Audacity forums, using a mike input will cause the recording levels to be too high, and the setting has to be changed to "Line In" and not "microphone." Is there not a way to do that with this laptop and sound card?
    The HP Support Assistant tells me that the driver for my sound card is up-to-date.
    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. I've been trying to find a solution on my own for a couple days with no luck.

    Hi Amanda,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp52501-53000/sp52658.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
    Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete.  Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
    Regards,

  • [SOLVED] Microphone recording level is too high

    Hi,
    since yesterday, I've got an issue with my headset's microphone (it's a QPAD QH-1339). The recording level is WAY too high, at 2 % level it's already starting to clip and I hear noise coming from the motherboard (a Lenovo ThinkPad T540p laptop). First I thought it might be a problem with PulseAudio but after testing with arecord I realized it seems to be ALSA related (same problem there).
    Here are my sound related packages:
    $ pacman -Ss alsa | grep Installiert
    extra/alsa-lib 1.0.28-1 [Installiert]
    extra/alsa-plugins 1.0.28-2 [Installiert]
    extra/alsa-utils 1.0.28-1 [Installiert]
    extra/pulseaudio-alsa 2-3 [Installiert]
    extra/zita-alsa-pcmi 0.2.0-1 [Installiert]
    multilib/lib32-alsa-lib 1.0.28-1 [Installiert]
    $ pacman -Ss pulse | grep Installiert
    extra/libao 1.2.0-1 [Installiert]
    extra/libcanberra-pulse 0.30-4 [Installiert]
    extra/libpulse 5.0-1 [Installiert]
    extra/pavucontrol 2.0-2 [Installiert]
    extra/pulseaudio 5.0-1 [Installiert]
    extra/pulseaudio-alsa 2-3 [Installiert]
    multilib/lib32-libpulse 5.0-1 [Installiert]
    lsusb:
    $ lsusb
    Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0d8c:000c C-Media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter
    ALSA and PulseAudio config files are stock; I've reinstalled alsa-lib, lib32-alsa-lib, libpulse, pulseaudio and lib32-libpulse already, making no difference. The built-in microphone seems to record just fine (apart from the horriblenot-so-great sound quality). It also seems to work somewhat if I set the recording level in the ALSA mixer to 100 % but Skype of course changes the recording level as it likes. When enabling the monitor (to hear myself) the sound quality from the headset's microphone is just perfect so I'm pretty puzzled what to try next.
    If you need more information, let me know. Thanks in advance!

    Try to set the capture level lower, you may do it by amixer or alsamixer or your systray applet.
    I think your card is non fully set.
    What says
    lspci -vnn |grep 'High Definition Audio'
    Try to disable pulseaudio and remove the module. See wiki and in particular this section.
    I know, their aren't the definitive solution, but we should have to toss a bit of straw from the haystack to find the needle.
    Well, I should point out that it's an USB headset with integrated audio controller (was a bit unclear in my first post, sorry). The sound card integrated in the laptop works just fine but the integrated microphone is awful (in a non-ALSA, non-PulseAudio way ) so showing you the output from lspci won't help much I suppose. But at least it has a Mic Boost control.
    Maybe it helps if I describe the behavior in the PulseAudio volume control in more detail.
    For the integrated sound card, the input level behaves linear (I know it's logarithmic but that's not the point ). At 0 %, it's completely quiet, at 100 %, it's clipping. In between, everything's fine.
    For the USB headset, 0 % is completely quiet, 1 % is clipping already, just getting worse until 40 % which is the ALSA base volume. There it's quiet but at least the volume indicator shows something. At 41 %, it's clipping again until 100 % which seems to behave like 40 %.
    Now as Skype thinks that 40 % is too quiet it changes the input level (reasonably enough I guess). Too bad that anything BUT 40 % means white noise coming from the microphone...
    Disabling PulseAudio is not really an option as Skype doesn't work with anything but PulseAudio. Besides that the problem also occurs with arecord.

  • I had gain too high and mike was too sensitive, now my audio is distorted!

    Is there any hope for me? I was using an external directional mike, and I think I had the gain (or mike input volume) too high.
    I was recording an outside rock concert, and the sound is muddy, distorted, and horrible. Can I use Soundtrack Pro to clean this up? Is there anything I can do or is the situation hopeless?
    Thanks for any help.

    All of us who work with technology can tell stories of really bad mistakes we made
    as we were learning our craft. Some of them are funny. Some are not. But we learn and move on.
    There's nothing you can do about that distortion.
    However, from now on, you will always remember to check your levels and monitor your audio.

  • Oiginal audio recorded at to high a volume

    How can I correct the muffled audio in this file? This is just a sample the original is 45 minutes.
    I am new to audition  https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/58319987/DRTMaskTest.wav
    here is the file you will have to copy and paste to your browser it would not let me post the real link
    db.tt/3tLXxbgl

    Firstly, it's not clipped in the file at all. It's badly distorted, and the frequency range is completely screwed up. It sounds as though it's been recorded from a communications-type mic through a pretty bad preamp, but as I said, not only is it not clipped, but it doesn't even look as though it's been clipped at any stage.
    You can't undo the distortion, but if you put a rising EQ boost from about 800Hz up to about 5-6kHz, you can improve the sound of it somewhat, and it's easier to understand.
    Secondly, you can't determine clipping points or levels with headphones - period. By the time you detect clipping with headphones, you'll have the level way too high. This is what meters, and if you have them, signal/overload lights on preamps are for. On a modern sound device, you should be running all of it so that the peaks occur about 10dB below 0dBFS -this gives you adequate headroom for anything unexpected. Normally with a sound device you'd set this with the gain control on the preamp.

  • How can I copy an audio recording in Skype?

    I have an audio recording of one of my contacts on Skype. 
    Can you tell me if there is a way to copy this recording to my hard drive and if so how? 
    Can I do it with MP3 Skype Recorder 4.11 and if so how?  Where would it be recorded to if I can do it this way?
    Any help with this will be really appreciated
    HB

    I already have a Skype recorder for any incoming or outgoing Skype or telephone calls.  I use MP3 Skype Recorder for that.   What I'm trying to achieve is different.
    I have an existing voicemail message in Skype itself from one of my Skype contacts.  It is this voicemail message that I want to save to my hard drive somewhere so there is no chance of me losing it in Skype itself.
    I right clicked on the recording and there is an option in the context menu to 'Copy Message.' I clicked on this but I don't know where to save it to on my hard drive so I can play it whenever I want from there as a file.
    I would also like to know if there is any way to change this voicemail message to another file format to play on my hard drive.
    Can anybody help me with this scenario please?
    Thanks

  • Stereo audio causes "Video Bitrate too High" error

    SOS, Whizzkids.
    I try to make a build of a DVD with 1 menu and 3 tracks. , and I get an error message "Video Bitrate Too High." I check the compression setting and they're set to factory default for SD 4by3. (4 and 7 MB).
    Get this: I delete one channel of audio from each of the 3 tracks and it compiles perfectly.
    I duplicate audio channel 1 by option-dragging to channel 2 for one track, recompile and get the same error.
    I give in. Wassup?
    Any help gratefully received.

    Did you convert your audio to AC-3 (Dolby Digital)?
    If not, this is the likely cause of your problem. Run your audio through A.Pack (if using DVDSP 3 or earlier) or Compressor 2 (if using DVDSP 4). The "Dolby 2.0" presets in Compressor 2 are the Dolby Digital, but it's recommended to change the following settings and make a new preset.
    Set dialog normalization to -31 and the Compression Preset to "None". They default to -27 and "Film Standard", respectively.
