Audio Volume, Help Wanted

hello all
I've made sound midi files and placed them in my code and they work and play and the rest, but when taken to a handset they are really, really quite, you can hardly hear them. I've added a VolumeControl object but that seems to have no effect, it can mute the music and make it smaller but it won't make it any louder. I've even been into the midi files in an Hex editor and set all the main bank volumes to the maximum value and done the same for the individual notes, but on a handset (spv smartphone), they are still barely audable. Does anyone have any advice please?
Ade

cheers mate but i, but another app plays the music fine, i think i might try doubling up the midi tracks so that the same sound is playing on more than one channel, that should double the volume, hopefully, but that will also increase the midi file, so that will be a last resort, any other advice will be much appreciated.

Selling online audio - Developer / Help wanted where to start

I need to develop a site to sell music tracks as MP3's which

Any ideas where to start / who to approach for something like

That's a (roughly) reasonable, if not low, price for that
project, just FYI

Premiere Elements 13 - Help with AUDIO volume

When recording the audio volume is too low. I adjust it in Premiere Elements 13 to the maximum and it is louder but still too low.
When I play with gain I get extra an effect that I do not want.
If there is not a way to do this from Premiere Elements is there an inexpensive plugin that I can get to work? When I search google seems like there are plenty of photoshop plugins but not enough for premiere.

Thanks for the follow up and good news of progress.
A few ways...
One way...
a. In the Expert workspace, you have a thumbnail for your video with its associated low volume audio in Project Assets
b. You drag the file from Project Assets to the Timeline Video 1/Audio 1 (the volume will be at 0.0 dB)
c. Then you drag the file again from Project Assets to the Timeline Video 2/Audio 2. This time you right click the file there
and select Delete Video from the pop up menu.
d. Then you drag the file again from Project Assets to the Timeline Video 3/Audio 3. This time you right click the file there
and select Delete Video from the pop up menu.
e. You repeat this until the sound has an acceptable volume.
Another way
a. In the Expert workspace, you have a thumbnail for your video with its associated audio in Project Assets.
b. You drag the file from Project Assets to the Timeline Video 1/Audio 1 (with Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/Volume
adjust the volume from 0.0 to + 6.0 dB)
c. Move the Timeline Indicator to the far right...right click the Video 1/Audio 1 clip, select Copy. Do about five Ctrl+V to make
five side by side copies of the file at that remote location of the Timeline Indicator.
d. Then go through the drill of what is described above....all copies directly above one another on tracks above Video 1/Audio 1.
drag a copy to Video 2/Audio 2, and the Delete Video
drag a copy to Video 3/Audio 3, and the Delete Video
drag a copy to Video 4/Audio 4, and the Delete Video
The quality of sound and video were good on your YouTube video. I am still having problems with my Internet connect but got
to watch most of it.
Please let me know if you are OK with the information above. Good job with the audio gain and normalization.

How do I get 10.4.8 AUDIO VOLUME back?!

My daughters' iMac G3 is like a freakin' megaphone now after updating it to 10.4.9. Why did Apple have to mess with audio volume levels? It was FINE the way it was. Now, in 10.4.9, the lowest volume setting is around the 50%-65% mark it was in 10.4.8.
I've ready other complaints elsewhere, now just want a solution. She's had it for months and we know the volume it produced, now, like I said, it's a megaphone and she even says its too loud (she's four).
Help!

The max OS for a PowerPC processor Mac is Leopard OS 10.5.x. All higher OSs require a Mac with an Intel processor.
Here's the instructions if you have the discs.
Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274?viewlocale=en_US
Changing your administrator password
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh655.html
Here's one method to reset the password without the install disc:
1. boot computer and hold the "apple" key and the "s" key.
2. wait for terminal show
3. release keys
4. type without the quotes: "/sbin/mount -uaw"
5. press enter
6. type without the quotes: "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
7. press enter
8. type without the quotes: "reboot"
9. press enter
This will let you create a new admin account when you reboot your computer.
Also, without the discs, look at Mac OS X Tip - No Password, No Root, No CD? No Problem.
http://www.macobserver.com/tip/2003/06/16.1.shtml
Here is a way to get around not knowing the admin password on Macs.
To reset your OS X password without an OS X CD you need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:
   1. Reboot
   2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
   3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
          * mount -uw /
          * rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
          * shutdown -h now
   4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you’re good to go again!
You'll have to buy (for over $100) a Leopard retail install DVD to get back to Leopard.

Audio Volume

A lot of times I find the audio volume on the MBA to be too low. It's fine when I'm using earphones, but sometimes I don't want to do that, and I find it hard to hear things sometimes. Maybe I'm just old and I've heard too much loud music, but has anyone used any 3rd party software that helps with this situation, or found another solution? Yes, I have the setting up as high as it will go.

Hi Kenshane,
The MacBook Air uses a single, mono speaker on the right hand side of the keyboard (Shift key) area. As a result, the sound coming out of the unit is going to be pretty low. An external speaker kit, especially if you intend to use the unit for multimedia is recommended.

Why is my iTunes insisting on 'determining audio volume' every time?

I upgraded to iTunes 9 a few weeks back and seemingly from that point onwards my iTunes application wants to 'determine audio volume' on a great number of tracks as soon as the program is launched.
The setting is unticked in Preferences on iTunes and on the iPod I synch with.
I don't want it to be doing this, especially as I'm quite happy to manually change this level if I feel its required, but can find no way of preventing it, aside from clicking on the 'x' in the top window whenever it starts - which is becoming tiresome.
I've tried deleting the cache file in Library > Caches and also starting up in Safe Mode and then opening again in normal mode but all to no avail.
Help!!!

Make sure you have also unticked sound check in the burn settings dialog you get when you burn a playlist to disc.

"Determining Audio Volume" question

Hello,
While fooling around on iTunes, I somehow changed a setting so that the rectangular window at the top of the screen, which normally shows the song being played, the status of syncing, etc., now shows the message, "Determining Audio Volume" and appears to be running through all the songs on my Mac. I can click the "X" to the right of the window and that stops the activity for the time being, but the next time I open iTunes, it starts all over. I can't figure out how to stop this activity.
Any suggestions?

Let it finish? How many years should I wait? iTunes is totally disabled by this "feature". If I stop the Determining, the program freezes and I have to force quit. If I try to select a song while it's doing this, the same. I have un-installed and re-installed and gone back to prior versions and used previous libraries and yada yada ad nauseum. Why is support so poor? My impression is that this application just ties itself in knots that cannot be untangled. I have no videos, no podcasts, no state-of-the-art stuff, but I do a lot of live recording (mp3s and WAV files) and want to archive and manage it in iTunes (what alternative do I have?), and it seems utterly deficient for that task. Whenever I try to play anything on the computer, the audio defaults to iTunes, and that's the end of that. I've tried Audacity, but it's slow and cumbersome and doesn't burn audio cds.
Why is iTunes so problematic, and why do we have to wade through thousands of discussions with helpful titles like "help" to look for solutions? I've had Macs since 1984, and this is just sad.

Background Audio Volume Control

Hi everyone!
Thanks so much for your help on my background audio question.
I was wondering if someone could tell me how I can control the
level of the background audio that i'm using from the
Project>Preferences>Background Audio Tab? I would prefer the
level of background audio to be less than what captivate thinks it
should when I'm talking through ny intro slides.
Thanks again for your help and I'm gald to be aboard the
forum.
fajitaman

Hi fajitaman
Try this. Click either Project > Preferences... (if you
are using Captivate 2) or Movie > Preferences... (if you are
using Captivate 1). Then click the Background Audio tab. Once you
do this, you should see a button labeled Edit... Click the Edit...
button. (If you are prompted whether you are certain you want to
make changes, click the Yes button.) Click the Adjust volume button
and adjust the volume level as desired.
Note you also have an additional option. One I'm personally
not fond of, but it exists. That is the option to "Lower background
audio volume on slides with additional audio". If you use this
option (I believe it's enabled by default) you hear a definite (and
noticeable) volume reduction when slides containing slide level
audio are played.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Pavilion g6 Laptop: audio volume fluctuating.

Product Name: HP Pavilion g6 - 2210sa Notebook PC
Product number: C6S45EA#ABU
OS: Windows 8 64-bit
This is a brand new laptop and from the start the audio volume has been fluctuating like it has a compressor/limiter applied to it. Any volume increase in a piece of music I play off itunes/pro tools/zune etc. is dragged back down after a moment and vice versa with quiter sounds.
I've searched these forums for a solution and tried all the suggested methods I've come across but am yet to find a fix for this.
It seems this is a very common problem for people with HP computers and yet so many of these promblems seem to go unsolved!
Cheers,
Harry

Hey jhazzac,
The first thing I would suggest checking is your BIOS and Audio driver version. You will want to have the latest versions for both. Here is a link to the HP driver page for you model. If drivers are out of date, it can cause strange isues.
Check what BIOS version is on your notebook currently by pressing FN+ESC. A little window will pop up that has your BIOS version. Compare that BIOS version (ex. F.14, F.16) with the latest one available HP's driver page which shows to be F.22 right now. Take a screenshot of your FN+ESC window and post it in a reply if you're unsure.
Also compare your audio driver version with the latest version on HP's driver page. To check your current audio driver version:
1. Press Windows Key + C to bring up the Charms Bar.
2. Click Search and type in "Device" and Click Settings.
3. Click on Device Manager in the search results.
4. Expand the 'Sound, video and game controllers' section.
5. Double-click on IDT Audio.
6. Click the driver tab. Make note of the driver version number and post it in your reply.
If the audio driver version on your notebook right now is earlier than the version available on the HP driver page, you will want to download and install the latest version.
If the issue persists after you have updated the BIOS and audio driver versions, please let me know!
Also let me know if you have any questions or if these suggestions helped (this could help other users having similar issues). I'll keep an eye out for your reply!

Audio volume is always maximum at start

I upgraded to Mac OS X Lion from Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
Before the upgrade when I reboot Mac OS X the audio volume is at the same level I left before.
Now when Mac OS X Lion starts, the audio level is always at maximum.
I think this is a little bug of the new OS.
Is there anyone with the same problem?
Does anyone have solved it?
Thanks you all.

Slideshow audio volume adjustment

Help! I can't seem to adjust the audio volume of the audio file on a slideshow project. The audio volume on playback is always the same whether I slide the volume adjustment to the maximum or down to zero. On playback the audio volume is always the same. I need to lower this volume because it drowns out the narration part of the slideshow. How do you do this??
Thank You!

I have come across this problem but I’m not sure I have a solution, perhaps only a work-around.
I have managed to save a slideshow from PSE as a WMV file on my hard drive.
Opening the WMV file with Windows Movie Maker (sorry if you are on a MAC) does allow the volume of the background track to be adjusted whilst also having a primary (Commentary) audio track.

Audio cable help for the new AppleTV.

Audio cable help for the new AppleTV.
Currently I have an original AppleTV with audio RCA plugs to mini plug into my BOSE speakers.
The 2nd Gen AppleTv has a Toslink input. I've looked at cables of Toslink to optical mini. Will this cable work? The optical mini part I'm not sure of what it is.
Thanks so much. The monitor I use doesn't have speakers.
This is the cable I see at Amazon

If I understand your question correctly, you want to connect your Apple TV2 to your Bose system using a mini plug.
You will need an optical to digital coax RCA converter (find it on Ebay about $15), then you can connect your mini cable. Here is a link to one I recently bought on Ebay: http://fwd4.me/nrQ

3D animation in iPhone application - audio volume drives a mouth morph?

Hello,
I created a series of 3D characters in LightWave 3D that I want to use in an iPhone application. Is there a way to use the audio volume to drive a morph? I want to set up a simple mouth-open/mouth-closed movement that is driven by the audio volume.
Thanks,
Tom

there's nothing really 'driving' the audio volume except the recording itself.
Since playback is assumed constant, one way to sense non-silence is to monitor/trap AudioQueueLevelMeterState...if that is active/peaked/bouncing, then assume mouth = opened/moving.
