Auto adjust the audio levels

I have my iMac hooked up to my TV and when I watch movies from it the audio levels very quite a bit. Some parts are really loud and some are very quiet. Is there a program that can auto adjust the audio levels out of the mac?
thanks

Is there a way to adjust the audio level/equalizer on an iphone4/4s or an app that would work better?

Never mind I found it

I don't believe that there's a way to find the peak (or peaks) within FCE. But if the track isn't normalizing then there should be at least one peak somewhere.
However, I have experienced audio anomalies when playing back and when exporting content with four to six audio tracks: at certain moments, the volume rises abruptly, even though such a volume increase is not present in any of the audio tracks. Perhaps FCE is incorrectly "reading" a volume increase at a certain moment, thus interpreting it as a peak, and therefore "deciding" that normalization is not possible.
By the way, my solution for fixing the audio anomaly that I mentioned above was to process my audio in an external editor, as I simply could not get FCE to handle it properly, even after trashing my preferences files, trashing all of my render files, creating a new Sequence and copying my clips to it, etc.

I have been editing my films and spent hours fixing the audio levels. Everytime I close and re-open final cut audio levels go back down.

I have been busy editing my film and for the third time now, i have been correcting my audio levels with each clip - this takes me hours - and everytime I go back to the project, the audio levels fall back down. So everything i did previously was a waste of time.
Does anyone have the same issue? Is there anything I am doing wrong here?

Gosh, that sounds aweful close to the same problem people are experiencing with the undo bug. They don't know their having a problme until they hit Command+Z to undo their last change, and they can't, the undo command is actually grayed out in the menu. I understand if this happens, X is not auto saving your changes either. So, the next time you make all of your changes, check to see if your undo command is grayed out from the menu. If it is, duplicate your project to force a manual save. Then Quit X and reopen it and insure you project is intact.

How do you know the audio level of a keyframes

I'm varying the audio levels of clips on the timeline by creating keyframes using the pen tool. I create four points:
1) -inf = beginning of fade-in
2) -5dB = end of fade-in
3) -5db = beginning of fade-out
4) -inf = end of fade-out
But when I'm going back to adjust points, how do I know what level they're at already without having to drag them away from their home position and then back?
Scrolling over them with the mouse (and not clicking) just gives me a crosshair and no info.
I want to make sure that points 2&3 are at the same level, so I can just move the envelope region between them up and down to change the volume. Any quick way to do this to speed up my process?

Specifically to address this point: if you mouse over the audio levels' rubber band segment BETWEEN your points 2) and 3) until the cursor changes to an up/down adjustment arrow ⬍, and move it up/down, it will adjust BOTH the levels at 2) and 3), maintaining the relative difference between them (or, if points 2) and 3) start at the same level, this adjustment will keep them equal as you drag them both up/down together in one action.)
As usual, much easier to DO it, rather than describe it!

Cannot adjust record audio level with I-Mic as audio in

Hi,
I would like to record audio from my stereo through my Griffin Technologies I-Mic connection using Audacity audio software. I cannot adjust input recording audio down even though I have completely turned off the input audio on Audicity. The recording audio is pegging red and the recorded playback audio is completely overmodulated. The audicity help techs believe the problem lies with my sound card, which happens to be the Sound Blaster 24 bit.
Months ago, I was able to do it, but this time around had no success. Is there something that I can click on the soundblaster that will allow audicity to properly adjust the input audio?

Wow, here I go again..... I found out how I locked up the audio track of my video file.
After I re-imported my original video recording, and had adjusted the volume level, I had to expand my video image to fill my "canvas". When I went to transform this layer, I was told I must first convert this to a smart object. As soon as I did that, the track turned from blue to purple!
I would hope that if I edit my original video track in such a simple way, that I would NOT loose access to adjusting the volume of my video track...... But that is the odd way that this works.............

Can I auto adjust the slide length to match my music length?

Can I auto adjust the slide length to match my music length?

There is no way to automatically do this, but if you have a calculator, you can figure it out.
If you are NTSC (USA), figure 30 frames per second. For PAL (Europe) figure 25 frames per second.
So here is an example in NTSC. Say your music is 3:31, this is equal to 211 seconds or 6330 frames.
If your slideshow has 155 slides, then each slide should last about 41 frames or 1 second and 11 frames.
You can change the duration of the slides to 1:11 and apply to all slides.
(Note: To edit at the frame level, go into iMovie Preferences and choose to display time as hhL:mm:ss:frames)

Auto adjust midpoint within levels...

Hi There,
I would like to be able to auto adjust the midpoint in the levels tool to match the most frequent level. That is to say, I want that gray triangle in the level tool to point to the highest point in my curve, automatically. Auto levels does a good job of setting the white point and the black point, so it seems only natural that this functionality should be possible. From what I see though, there is no way to auto adjust the midpoint. Am I missing something, could this be done in a script? This would be for a gray scale image.
I'm using CS4 with snow leopard.

Hmm, yes, upon further reflection I think I described the wrong problem. I think what I am looking for is an auto gamma tool, which I don't think photoshop supports directly. I am dealing with a large amount of archived black and white photos that have been scanned (the glass plate negatives), so my intent is to get a good guess at the proper distribution of the histogram without having to fiddle with each photo manually. Auto Levels does a good job with targetting a good black and white point, but is terribly off on the midtones (the image is always too bright). I've actually found a command line program, ImageMagick, that has an auto-gamma feature and it does quite a good job. Let me know if this can be done in photoshop.
Thanks for you comments and help.

Lets get Apple to increase the audio levels again

Hi everyone! Well, I sold my 2.16 C2D on eBay and I just bought the new 2.2 model. I broke even selling the old and buying this one. So I think its a great deal. Anyway, I'm happy with the new machine. Speed and everything else is the same to me but the graphics are killer. Way better than the 128mb x1600. So far I've only tried it out on call of duty 2 but I'm more than satisfied.
So my reason for starting this thread is that we should all write to Apple's feedback section (which I can not find right now) and let them know that we would like the audio levels to increase again just like in 10.4.9.
The audio was low up to 10.4.8, in 10.4.9 the audio was much louder, and in 10.4.10 it went back to how it used to be. Now I know why Apple did this. It was because of all the 24" iMac users who complained about the audio being way too loud on the lowest volume setting. I know exactly how loud it was- my brother is one of those 24" iMac users. Reverting the audio level makes sense for iMac users but for everyone else its a downgrade. Especially since Apple sells a lot more notebooks than desktops.
A solution to this would be putting out a patch for just notebook users. Its really a major issue to me and I have not upgraded to 10.4.10 on this new machine because I'm in love with the fact of actually being able to hear the speakers on the MBP.

Are you serious? I'm running 10.4.9 right now I can't hear anything on iTunes until the 2nd or 3rd volume setting. Yes, I have sound check and everything else off.
Don't even wanna imagine what it will be like again when I have to go to 10.4.10.

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.

Adjusting the input level of my laptop mic in LE?

I tried making a recording using the laptop mic, but I can't adjust the input level - tried doing it from the preferences in the "sound" of my laptop, but it won't adjust levels in LE? Any help?

If a proper license is held for the product, MS do say that you can use any legitimately-acquired media to re-install.
If the computer originally shipped with a manufacturer-supplied copy of Windows (OEM), then only the media from the OEM should be used. This might require him to purchase a set of recovery discs or USB from the OEM.
It may be possible to retrieve/download a copy of Windows 8.0 or 8.1 from the MS website, with only a product key, but, it is common for modern computers sold now, that there is no visible product key (instead, the key is stored in firmware)
If you need to download Windows 8.1, to create installation media, this article may help:

My iPhone automatically changes the audio level to max/zero

Hi all. I have a problem with my iPhone audio level. When I'm listening to music with my head phones on, my iPhone sometimes changes the audio level max or zero all by itself. When I try to decrease/increase the sound, it continues to increase/decrease until sound reaches to the max/zero. Restarting the iPhone stops the audio level change. But this does not solve problem once and for all. It happens time to time, but it is becoming somewhat irritating.
Anyone have a solution for this? I've checked the internet, but couldn't find anyone have this problem. I guess I'm the only one who has this problem. Thanks in advance.
BTW, my iPhone is 6 plus & its iOS version is 8.1.3 (12B446). Although I has been happening since I bought it in December

I wanted to update this post. I realised a something new with the issue and found a way that I can temporarily solve it without restarting the iPhone. Right before it happens, an orange blinking light appears on the empty (white) side of the sound level at the music player. I marked that area on the photo below, although I couldn't managed to capture that orange blinking light. If I change the sound level via buttons, sound goes to max or min (depending on my button choice). Unplugging and re-plugging headphones don't affect this. After re-plugging, blinking continues. But if I unplug my headphone, then close the music player from double tapping the home button & restarting the music player, turns it it to normal. Even my sound level stays the same, at the level I configured before this issue starts happening.
A remainder, this issue only happens after I start listening to music with my headphones. Same thing with speaker never happened. I hope this message make you all understand my issue better. I also hope that there is a solution

Why can't I adjust the recording level for a Blue mic???

Why can't I adjust the recording level for a Blue mic???

Most Blue usb mics have a gain control somewhere on them.

When burning edited footage to DVD the audio levels are low.

I have edited video footage in FCPX for which the audio levels appear fine but when I burn it to DVD and watch the footage, the audio is very low. I have then increased all audio levels in the editing footage to + 12db and burned it to DVD again. Even thgough some of the audio are downloaded tracks from itunes all audio still seem to be quite low.
Am I doing something wrong.

Is your project audio set to surround or stereo?
In the project list select the project and then click on the spanner icon at bottom right of inspector.
It will tell you. and you can change to stereo if that is what you would normally use.

What do you do if you need to adjust the audio mid clip?

In Final cut X can you adjust the audio in the middle of a clip? It seems that the fades are only at the beginning and end of each clip. What do you do if you need to adjust the audio mid clip?

Range tool (click R)
select range
drag audio line ...
