Audio volume rising and falling

Hi everyone,
I'm recording voice overs for my tutorial project, created in
CP3. I'm using an external mic that's designed for VO's. However,
I've noticed in some of my published projects that the volume will
rise and fall from slide to slide. I'm recording in a small office
so I don't think I'm moving my head too much. I'm stumped--has this
happened to anyone else? Are there any workarounds?
Thanks!
Krista

It doesn't take much head movement to make the volume bounce
around. I record and edit my audio with SoundForge (producing WAV
files). Then I use GoldWave to batch process the files (Noise
Reduction: Clipboard noise print, Equalizer: Reduce mid [for my
voice], and Maximize Volume; Full dynamic range, in that order.
(GoldWave is inexpensiv and its batch processor great.)
The extra processing is well worth it, I think, unless your
projects are absolutely quick-and-dirty.

Counter that triggers off the rising and falling clock edges?

I've got an interesting problem of a device that flips its state between high/low everytime an event happens (so two events make one complete cycle). I'd like to clock an E series synchronously with it, but looking at the documentation I can't see anyway to tell a PFI input or counter to generate a new clock cycle on both the rising and falling edge. Instead, it just generates a new cycle at half the actual event rate.
I realize I could generate a new clock at approximately the same frequency using the internal timebase, but unfortunately any jitter between the two clocks must be very, very small (<5 ns) for my application to work and the internal time base doesn't have great resolution.
Is there some obvious solution I'm missing ?

Nope, E Series can't do this.
Many newer DAQ cards support a feature called "change detection" for digital I/O timing that could be used to generate a sample clock every rising and falling edge of your external signal (you could then export this sample clock or use it for another task).
You should probably elaborate on exactly what you mean when you say <5 ns jitter though, because this timing requirement is probably going to rule out using these devices anyway.

IMac spakers shift audio volume up and down...

I play a song through iTunes and through the iMac's speakers, the volume sort of cuts out and shifts between volumes. Almost like it's hitting its limit in terms of volume. This only happens when the iMac's volume is at its peak, same with iTunes' built-in volume. I've never had this problem before, but could it be possible the speakers may have been somewhat damaged before I bought it? It was a Refreshed (open box) item from an Apple Store in San Francisco, CA.

Thanks.

When adjusting the audio volume in a selected region, why does it give me a curved line instead of straight and why cant I change it like i can with a fade in our out?

When adjusting the audio volume in a selected region, why does it give me a curved line as a transition instead of straight, and why cant I change the fade shape like i can with a fade in our out? When I slide thet volume all the way down it makes a very abrupt down curve. It's audibly noticdible.
Thank you.

Use the range selection tool and select the portion of the clip you want to change the volume on. Drag the volume line down and FCP will create keyframes which you can adjust as you want to get a fade shape.

Reduce background noise and increase audio volume?

Hi!
I have a movie with very bad static/background noise and low volume. I've been playing around the NewBlue cleaner AB, but I have yet to get a satisfactory results. Any hints/tips that might help me out? Or is it not powerful enough to get a good result?
Also, I've noticed the volume becomes even lower after running the filter.
How do I adjust the "clip volume" in edit effects past 6dB? If this is not possible, why?
Thank you!

Well, increasing the audio volume is easy. But doing it without also increasing your background noise is much harder. In fact, unless it's of a specific frequency that you can filter out, it's pretty much impossible. That's why a lot of Hollywood movies and TV shows have to "loop" or re-record dialogue for a scene if there was too much wind or background noise.
The easiest way to raise a clip's audio level is to click on it and select Audo Gain, and then increase the gain level.
This, though, won't get rid of the background noise.
Bill Hunt has some tips that may be helpful.

Why does my hd space say it has 0 audio, 0 photos and mostly all 'other' (yellow)?

My HD space had maxed out so I purchased "duplicate finder". Before I used duplicate finder, my files mainly were audio and very few other (yellow portion). My HD space has maxed out again but now, it's zero audio, zero photos and practically all yellow. That is impossible for me to have zero audio and zero photos. And what is "other"? I hope someone can help me on this...thanks in advance!

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown asBackups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Reboot and it should go away.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Hp envy 6 1040EW audio volume buttons don't work

hello, i'm new to the forum
i have a problem with my HP Envy Ultrabook 1040EW with the volume buttons (f9, f10 and f11 )
they will only work when i have opened the beats audio application or i've clicked on the speaker sign
were you can slide the volume up and down.
if anyone has the answer or the same issue please reply.
Thank you very much

BartB,
Access the BIOS menu and reset the factory defaults.
1.       Shut down the laptop
2.       Restart it and tap the F10 key repeatedly
3.       It should lead you into the BIOS menu
4.       Press F9 to load defaults and then F10 to save and exit
The compuer should then restart and take you back to your main desktop screen. Once there test out those 3 keys.
Please respond back with your results.
Thanks

Problem with volume handle and external SWF

Hello I'm having 2 problems.
The first is that when loading an external swf in my main SWF I get this in the output window:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at audio_fla::list_1/frame1()
at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren()
at flash.display::Sprite()
at flash.display::MovieClip()
at audio_fla::MainTimeline()
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at audio_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
But it still works. Its an mp3 player.
The other problem is that the loaded SWF has a volume controller. When I test the external SWF by itself it works fine. When I load it on my main SWF when I start to drag the handle on my volume slider and MOUSE_UP outside the handle it still keep dragging the handle.
The code of my main SWF is:

Audio cut out and midi miss sync

Lately I have been getting audio cut out, and the missing, 'error while trying to sync audio and midi'.
I thought it was that I had too many instances of virtual instruments. So I mixed the song down. Imported that into a NEW song, with only one audio track, and then proceeded to try to do an organ overdub...Well Logic still drops out and gives me the message, even though there is NO midi information in this file...
Then I noticed that even AIF or mp3 files, didn't play properly from the desktop preview mode. They stop too. Activity monitor doesn't seem to be showing anything overworking..
Disk Warrior fixed some volume errors,
Anyone have any ideas to try?

I'm using a motu828. I disconnected the firewire connection, and ran audio from the headphone jack to the motu, and VOILA, no problems... Last year, I went thru two motu units, not really sure if they are the issue.
I think it might be LOGIC's firewire circuitry. Apple techs couldn't find the issue, I had the G5 motherboard replaced. Another factor was I had 3 Lacie firewire drives (2 firewire 800, 1 400) I have had 4 Lacie drives die on me in the last 3 years. They are the only firewire drives I have, so I don't know if the fault lies with them, or the again Apples firewire circuitry, stressing the drives out???
I also put a firewire 800 card in my system.
I have now switched to an external ESATA raid setup. No more firewire drives. So far so good. Since I had the whole motherboard replaced, I don't know what that means in terms of MOTU connected via firewire..
For now, I'm running audio out of headphone jack, using all virtual instruments, so I know it will sound better when I get firewire audio up and running, but I got tired of it cutting out every 3 - 30 minutes. I'm thinking about the apogee duet unit. But again if it's connected via firewire, I don't know where that leaves me..
My G5 is three and half years old, perhaps it's tired and wants to be retired....
The dark part of me wonders, if Apple computers don't start crapping out after three years of heavy use, or is it that technology, software, updates, push the hardware beyond it's capacity after a few years.

G510 Windows 8.1 Pro X64 Conexant Audio Driver Error and Driver Update Request

When are we to expect some updates in the drivers for G510, specifically for both graphics (Intel and AMD)
Also I am using G510S's Lenovo Power Management for Windows 8.1(running with no issues) as Windows 8 version was not compatible and there is no Win8.1 version.
And there is an update available for Conexant Audio in windows update and after the update when ever I play music, a few seconds in the Audio Device stops(a red cross on volume icon) and then troubleshooter automatically runs and fixes the audio device and audio comes back.
Also I would like to request that you bring back Dobly Advanced Audio v2 that was available with WINDOWS 8 version of the driver. It was just much more convienient and I liked its graphics equilizer much better.

Audio volume low when computer wakes from sleep - os x yosemite

I've been having an issue ever since I upgraded to OS X Yosemite, where the audio volume coming out of my external speakers is extremely low after I wake my computer up from sleep. The only resolution I have found is restarting the computer. Once I do that, the audio volume is great. If I were to boot up my computer after it has been completely shut down, the audio volume is also great. The issue only occurs after sleep. Anyone else having a similar issue? Is there another fix besides restarting the computer?
Speakers: Bose Companion 2 Series II (these are wired, not bluetooth)
Computer: Mac Pro - late 2013 - running Yosemite

This is a BUG. It has been submitted to engineering many times - unfortunately Apple has not done anything about it.   We have 5 Mac Pros, all 5 do the same thing after updating to Yosemite.   The PRAM / SMC reset is useless - we even installed a fresh OS on one of the machines (a suggestion of the level 2 Apple tech) same problem.   Clearly this is a system level bug.   Only way to get it resolved is to keep pounding the bug report site with requests.     The squeaky wheel gets the oil.   The problem is 100% repeatable on the machines that exhibit the bug.
In the mean time set up an applescript with this command and it will reset the sound - do not include the brackets :
<do shell script "sudo killall coreaudiod" with administrator privileges>
Run it every time you wake from sleep and you won't have to deal with the problem ever again.
Pretty lame that Apple has not fixed it even though the problem appears to be pretty widespread.

ITunes 12.1 freezing upon launch due to "determining audio volume"

My (Late 2011) MBP running Yosemite is freezing when I launch iTunes. It is 12.1, the latest version. Upon launch, it says "Determining Audio Volume" and is on the first of my several thousand songs. The spinning wheel eventually pops up and I am forced to forced shut-down my mac by holding the power button. I can't delete iTunes as it is "required by the OS" and I can't open it and go to the preferences to uncheck "soundcheck" because it freezes the entire mac upon launch.
Anyone experiencing the same issue or know what might fix it?
Thanks

I had the same problem, but I think I've found a cure.
Even though Sound Check was disabled in preferences, iTunes would insist on Determining Audio Volume everytime it was launched. But there is also a 'Sound Check' preference in the Burn CD dialogue.
To turn it off you need to select a playlist, hit the Burn Disc button (bottom left) select Audio CD as the disc format and un-check 'Use Sound check'
Then you must hit the 'Burn' button (if you don't it will not remember the new settings) You can then cancel the burn by clicking the X in the itunes player window.
This has cured the problem for me

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.

Non-Apple Keyboard: any way to control system audio volume?

I have a non-Apple Keyboard on my new Mini Lion 7.2.1
Is there any way to control system audio volume via the keyboard ?

Well. I can do this. But just because, on my Apple keyboard, there are the keys that do the job. There's a key to mute, and the keys to adjust low and high the sound. But keyboard shortcuts, I don't think exist. The aren't in keyboard shortcut in Keyboard panel, within System Preferences. The bottom line is that isn't a menu item in Finder for lower sound and higher sound. The only option would be an AppleScript that you save as an applet within Scripts menu (activated in Finder via Script Editor) and you invoke with a shortcut...
