Auto Volume Adjust

After converting tracks to AAC, the info pane (Summary Tab) shows the volume in plus or minus terms. I've imported the same song from different sources with different results. How do I know which gives the best sound/clarity? I presume it's the figure closest to 0, but I'm not 100% sure.
Cheers,
SNaP!

closet to 0 would be ideal

  • Using compressor DVD Studio Pro 4 will only accept ac3 format in the burn process. ac3 makes a nnsense of the good sound delivered, 30% reduction in volume, auto volume levelling giving unwanted volume variations. Used to be able to burn using AIFF/WAVE,

    AS Above. Edited in FCPX. Excellent sound file. Using Compressor 4 to DVD Studio 4. Wanting AIFF or WAVE sound for acurate sound.
    Previously DVD Studio 4 has accepted AIFF etc and delivered sound as reuired. Now, during the burn process everything other than ac3 is declined as 'video bit rate too high', but will burn if the AIFF format is replaced with ac3 (which I presume meanss the 'video bit rate too high' is referring to the sound file)
    The issue with ac3 format is the huge reduction in original volume and worse, the 'auto volume levelling' that makes a nonsense of the original soundtrack - with simply aweful unwanted variations in volume Throughout the  the dvd.
    I have tried everything I can think of to get around this. The 'volume gain' in compressor doesn't make any difference. Exporting just AIFF and the Video to DVD 4 doesn't make any difference, it always declines anything but the aweful sound ac3 delivers.
    I have customers awaiting a musci DVD, not with thei quality I can't.
    Cheers

    The total video bit rate is determined by audio & video. Depending on what rate your video file was encoded at will determine how much room is left for audio. PCM(aiff/wav) audio requires a bigger piece of the pie. Video bit rate too high means your overall(video+audio) rate is going above 9Mbps which the format won't allow. The only way to use aiff would be to lower your video file's data rate. The length of your program is also a factor in all of this.
    I had some problems in the past with using aiff instead ac3. Although there shouldn't be any issue I experienced playback issues on some players that couldn't be explained but were cleared up by ac3.  I have been using the same specs as Dave's suggestion for almost nine years and have not had any issues with mix, quality, or levels.

  • Bridge CS6 How to turn off auto tone adjustment for the loupe?

    Adobe Bridge CS6. 'Apply auto tone adjustments' is unchecked in Camera Raw Preferences. Yet every time I click on an image in the preview panel it does a tonal adjustment before it magnifies the image detail. I am viewing bracketed images and do not want any auto tone applied at any time while previewing images. How can I turn off all auto tone adjustment for the program - including the loupe. I never had this issue in a previous version. I'm on PC. Thanks for any help!

    All 4 Default Image Settings are unchecked. Checking this further I have found this is only a visual issue in Bridge Preview. I have opened the same raw file before any adjustment had taken place (w/o using the loupe magnifier) in PS CS6 - and then again opened it after using the magnifier which did an auto contrast adjust on the image. Both files are the same in PS CS6. This is only a visual issue within Bridge (Master Collection CS6) on my Win7 64 bit machine. No issue with a standalone PS CS6 version on my XP 64 bit system.
    There is no auto adjustment of the image until I use the loupe (magnifier tool).
    Note my previous comment as to what happens when I use it. Thanks!
    I have a feeling this is a bug. I have a Photography help group on fb and posed this question to them. I had mostly no issue responses but got this from another person. I checked after reading this and it is the same issue with me - this only happens with raw files, not jpeg. Here is his comment line.
    Carl, I see what you mean, I have tried several adjustments to the preferences and none seem to work. The image automatically adjusts after a brief time. There does not seem to be any way to turn off the adjustment. I'm using Bridge CS 6 on a Mac. I don't think it has anything to do with camera calibration, but it only happens when using RAW files. I tried it on JPGs and TIFFs and it did not adjust the loupe image. Wonder what Adobe has to say
    So - tThanks for any thoughts! So at least it's not going to be an editing issue - but it's a pain here. I use Bridge to edit my shoots and I often shoot bracketed images. While I cull images according to the histogram, I also do visual assessment and I can't have Bridge doing it's own thing on tonal adjustment.

  • AD-41 headset volume adjustment sensitivity too hi...

    Hi! I own Nokia 3250 and what's really annoying me is the headset's volume adjustment. It works terrible ! The sensitivity of buttons is so high that it's very difficult to change volume only one level up or down. I don't know if it applies only to this model, but I checked it on N70 and it worked fine. When the button is pressed, volumes goes one level up, then short pause and then up again. That's how it should work! But now there're no pauses, it changes so quickly that I can't adjust volume accurately when i'm in move. My firmware is 3.24. Maybe it's fixed in 4.14 ? I wish it is, otherwise I won't upgrade my phone, I don't want to lose high sound volume.
    Has someone similar observations ?

    He is not telling the truth. The headset is faulty.

  • 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.

  • No volume adjustment for video clips

    Hi there!
    I have noticed that the volume adjustment for video clips, set in the options pane of the clip itself, will not be respected by iTunes while playing the video.
    Is there someone else with a similar issue or already with a solution?
    Thanks in advance!

    I've tested all versions since 10.0.1 (for PC) and none work. Versions 10.0.1 and below will allow you to change the volume adjustmant and the equalizer setting for individual videos. No answer from apple!  You can try an older version like I did.

  • My volume adjuster disappeared. How do I get it back?

    Today I tried listening to music on my iPhone 4S, only to find that my volume adjuster had disappeared. And just to clarify, when I say that it disappeared, I mean that when I press the volume buttons on my phone, I see the speaker icon but the gauge bar is gone. I tried to test if this issue was only happening in one place, by checking out if I could adjust my volume through my YouTube app. Unforuntately, the volume slider has disappeared from the app as well.
    I tested my alarms, etc. and the problem is not my speakers -- my phone is still fully functional in this regard.
    I can't figure out what I did to cause this change, but I would love any advice you have on how to fix my phone. If it makes any difference, I have already tried restarting it several times.
    Thank you in advance for all of your help and advice.

    I am also having the same problem as described, but with a slight difference: The sound works fine on my iPhone 4S (running iOS 5.1), can adjust volume, sound is on w/ video apps, youtube, music... then when I plug it into my charger--poof! Sound cuts out... and this is with my ringer on. I don't even get the button clicks or the lock sound when the phone's put to sleep.
    I've tried everything: cleaning out charger port/headphone jack, turning phone off and back on, rebooting phone, even restoring phone to factory settings... nothing worked. I'm thinking maybe iOS 5.1 has a bug that's causing this on 4S phones... any way you can fix this? This never happened with my 3GS--it was running iOS 5.1, but I was able to get sound and volume control, even when plugged into the charger, ringer on or off.
    Hoping someone from Apple tech support is reading this so they can work on a bug fix asap... this is just ridiculous!

  • Volume adjust software

     Hi! 
     I have a Nokia 5630 xpressmusic. Somehow, I managed to loose my -volume button on its side, and there is no other solution to take down the volume. Asking service points was useless. They can't find the middle body for it as spare part.
      My question is: Is there any volume adjust software which can offer alternative volume buttons on my keypad? I have attached the image for easier understanding.
     With regards,
      Fuxymaxy user.

    Welcome to the forum!
    Although it is beyond remit of this manufacturer's sponsored forum to discuss matters concerning obviating Symbian platform security, it should be technically possible to re-assign this button using "Magic Key" or "Virtual key" which are unsigned applications.

  • Imovie 13 song volume adjust

    seems like the volume adjust for songs added to iMovies only has one ajductment option; grabing the line and using mouse or track pad to move it up or down. it is very sensative. is there another way to adjust volume like older imovie versions? i box where i can type a percent?

    Find the song in your iTunes library, highlight it, and click File>Get Info. Then, click on the Options tab. The first option offered on there is a volume adjuster that will only affect that specific song. Once you've changed your settings, just connect your iPod and update it again, and everything should be good.

  • HT204019 Missing "volume adjust" in Ringtones section of new iTunes 12.0

    My iTunes is at its most updated format, 12.0.1.26 How do I increase the volume of a ringtone now?
    In the past, I've made many of my own ringtones using 30-second clips of the songs. Today, when I finished making the ringtones and then imported them into my library, I couldn't find the "volume adjust" slider in the Options tab of "Get Info". It used to be there. When ringtones would first import in, they would always be a little quieter so I had to turn up the volume adjustment.
    That volume slider is no longer in its usual/original place. Is it somewhere else in iTunes?

    I'm having a similar issue, but cannot see anything to do with airplay in the SysPref > Sound menu.  My mac is too old to run Yosemite, so looking to find another way to get this fixed.  Any ideas?

  • Itunes volume adjust doesn't take in ipod

    i ripped an audio book on my imac because the optical drive on my powerbook stopped working. then i moved the audio book over to my powerbook and put it on my ipod. the volume was too soft so i adjusted it in itunes and resynched.
    there was really no change except that on my ipod, when i turn up the volume, the volume stops increasing when the volume slider is about halfway across the screen. the slider keeps moving, but the volume stops increasing.
    what can i do? any thoughts? help!!

    No, I'm in Australia. Itunes 'volume adjustment' USED to work...but it *doesn't* anymore...;/??
    I even updated the latest itunes...but still *nothing*

  • Glitch with iTunes Volume Adjustment.

    I'm having this tiny glitch with the volume adjustment feature in iTunes. I have certain songs that are too soft, so I turned the volume adjustment on those songs to 100%. I sync those songs to my iPhone 3GS running 5.0.1. However, after those songs finish playing, the next song that plays will also be adjusted to 100%, even when I didn't make it that way. Only way to rectify this is to choose another song from my music list on my iPhone, making the volume back to normal.
    It's a minor annoyance, but one nonetheless. I have my playlist on shuffle, and everytime I hear a song which I know I adjusted to 100%, I know I have to choose another song from my playlist because the next song that comes after that will be insanely loud.
    If anyone can provide me with a solution, it is greatly appreciated.

    Never mind, resyncing seems to have solved the problem.

  • How to turn off volume adjustment sound under Windows 7

    Hey all,
    I'm running Windows7 x64 on an Intel iMac (July 2010 revision).
    Things are running well for the most part. However, I am unable to find a way to turn off the blooping sound played when adjusting the volume in Windows 7 (I know how to turn it off in OS X). I have tried turning off all system sounds under Windows,but the volume adjustment sound still plays. Does anyone know how to turn this off? I find it jarring. I would appreciate any help that anyone can give.
    Thanks.

    That too bad because I use the MBP to do my radio show and it's very annoying. I know you can turn it off on the mac side.
