Automated Volume Reducing

Hello friends, so I've been watching some movies lately and I noticed that the sound volume is some times very low and then suddenly it go's crazily high depending on the action that's happening in the movie, ok It could mean that the quality of the movie is high, but it's really annoying when I have to turn it down every now and then manually, especially when I have the computer plugged into a surround system, So do you guys know any type of a mod I can do for my mac or maybe a good application, Just like the option some TV's have, Thank you.

There might be apps that will do that, but I do not use them nor would I recommend any because it's a task that ought to be performed by your sound system.
The most popular audio-altering app that appears frequently on this site is this one:

Read the very first Customer Review for one reason I don't recommend such things. Here it is in case the above link doesn't work where you are:

Volume change on track without disturbing set automated volume changes

I'm finished with my first project. When it mixed down to iTunes, I discovered that one track needed to be bumped down just a bit; but I don't want to disturb all the automated volume contours that I already set. Surely I can lock the whole track or group all the automation nodes and then change the volume overall while keeping the proportions of my automated volume controls, but I haven't figured it out. Thanks. James

Good to know!

N73 4.0747.31.0.1 volume reduced?

Has anybody else noticed that the volume has been reduced on the music player using the original headphones/mic after applying Version 4.0747.31.0.1?
The volume on the right earpiece seems to have dropped more than the left. (It's not my hearing or the balance settings, before somebody asks; I've tried them back-to-front too.)
Also does anybody know where the list of fixes / enhancements is for this upgrade?
The official list doesn't include this version...

Haven't these people ever been on a bus or a train, or even walked down your average city street? I can bearly hear my music over the noise, now. Perhaps the legislation should have been applied to noise polution first!
Anybody else experiencing this imbalance in volume levels?
How do I make a complaint so they can fix it in the next version release?
How do I revert to the previous firmware version release?
Any help and other people's comments muchly appreciated.
I am furious about this . Just bought the n73 music and man it sucks you can actually hear your own breath when volume is %100. Very disappointed from Nokia, apple proved it self much smarter with the adult volume limit. You buy a music phone and you can not use for music. I don't think I going with nokia again waisted my money. I am just furious.

Itrip volume problem: volume reduces to zero when itrip attached to 3rd Gen

I've had a 3rd Gen ipod for some years and a (new style) itrip with silver selector button for about a year. Both have been working together fine until recently.
I'm based in the UK, went on a trip to the USofA recently and while there my itrip would not work. Every time i plugged it in the ipod volume would automatically reduce to zero. Thought this may be because i was using it in another country but the problem has persisted back in the UK.
Other online sources indicate it could be a problem with the itrips auto-adjustment of volume to reduce FM distortion but even with starting volume low (20% - 50%) the same reduction occurs.
Anyone else experienced this? ...any fix available?
thanks,
paul.
ipod 3rd Gen Windows XP itrip (with silver button and display)

Hah! I found the problem. It isn't with the Apple hardware or software. If I sync my iPod the problem goes away. If I restart it, the problem goes away. After talking with an Apple Expert I concluded that the problem must be with one of my third party apps and I determined to start checking them out to find the offender. Turns out a fun little game from the App Store called Parachute Panic is the culprit. It is repeatable that when I launch that app when music is playing the volume slider in the Music app goes bonkers. I'll report the bug at once.

Itunes volume reduces when visiting different web pages

I just started noticing that whenever I visit any page that has some kind of built in sound (even if it's some embedded video that's not playing) while playing music the volume for my itunes gets reduced to almost zero.
The actual volume bar in the itunes program doesn't move, but level for itunes in the windows audio mixer (I'm using windows 7) automatically gets dropped, and I have to manually increase it. It's gotten really annoying since it seems to do this almost everytime I navigate to a different page.
Does anyone know how to make this stop happening? Thanks!

You have discovered a new feature of Windows 7! To adjust it, go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound > Manage Audio Devices, and look at the "Communications" tab. (Yes I know that is a lot of clicking!) The default setting is to reduce volume 80% when something new comes in, but you can adjust it on that tab.

Automation volume issue

Ok, let's see if I can explain this ...
Whenever I draw 2 even points of volume automation and want to raise the area between the 2 points I just click and hold on the line between the 2 points and raise or lower as needed. For some reason in Logic Express 9, it's like a logarithmic curve. It takes forever just to get to 0. And the same to come back up. Is there a setting that I'm unaware of? Previously it was a simple maneuver. Now it's a task just to automate an extended area to 0.
So 2 questions:
Does that make sense? If so, what am I doing wrong or missing or is this a glitch?
Thanks kids,
Jimmy

I'm not familiar with the 9th version yet dude, but in my experience, you just can adjust the first point and then the second point of the range. Also, check if the automation curve instrument is selected when you try doing these adjustments.

Automator pdf reduce file size action

I have a saved action to reduce file size for pdfs and want to change the resolution, but it's grayed out. Can someone tell me how I can do this?
Thank you!

Cathy,
You have posted your question in a forum dedicated to the Final Cut Studio application Color. It is a very specialized program to grade (adjust) the color in video/film images. We know nothing regarding PDFs.
Have you tried posting this on an Adobe support site?
Good luck,

System volume (and therefore ringing volume) reduces when recieving an incomming call

I set all volumes to full in Lync ,as well as the system master volume. Soon as a phone call comes in I can see the volume slider move to from 100% to around 50%. This is
very werid and is happening on multiple PC's. It started when I upgraded from the Communicator client to the Lync client.
Any ideas on this weirdness??
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
If you wanna get 100% volume, do as follows.
1.
Open "Volume Mixer – Speakers" and move the slider bar to 100.
2.
Make a call. And in the conversation window, click "Adjust volume or mute speakers" icon, and move the slider to 100.
Next time,
when you make a call, the volume will be 100%. Please have a try.
In addition, provide this
article for reference. Hope useful.

Automating volume control of the groups of a EXS24 instrument

Can I automate the volume levels of different groups of an EXS24 instrument?
Or can I assign a controller to the volume of an instrument group so I can automate this controller?
Thanks Werner

If you use the multichannel version of EXS24 you can assign groups to different outputs (auxes) and automate the corresponding tracks.

W2207 volume problem?

Hi there, i was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem im having... it seems like my volume button/settings are stuck on my monitor. It flashes on and off changing the volume (reducing it always) but it is getting worse and i cant get rid of the screen which is right in the middle of my display. I tried wiggling the buttons to see if they were stuck but i dont think that is the case. Can anyone give me a suggestion on what to do?

The problem is the PC board that controls the Menu, Volume and Select buttons. I do not use these buttons so I removed the trim ring and unplugged the board. Problem solved.

HELP- volume is suddenly limited

I recently broke the connector that attaches my shuffle to my computer. I bought a non apple replacement. Since then, the volume has been greatly reduced. I have tried resetting my shuffle, used the reset utility, verified that I don't have a limit set to my volume on the settings.....any suggestions out there. Thanks...Mike

GAHHH I JUST HAD THE SAME PROB!!! my connector broke and i bought a connector that wasn't made by apple and the volume reduced! i bought new headphones but the volume is still the same (lowered). heh i just posted another topic on this.

Automated audio level changes in PP6 now possible on a clip by clip basis?

Anyone know if PPro 6 now enables audio automation to be written on a clip basis rather than on the track? This was the one key feature missing for me when attempting to move from FCP7. I couldn't get my head around having the entire mix rendered useless by inserting a clip at the front of the edit .... waiting for this one - please tell me it's been done!
Best, Ken.

Using keyframes is automating volume.
Well...in this context, "automating volume" refers to using the Touch, Latch and Write options of the audio mixer. If you set the keyframes yourself, that's more of a "manual" adjustment.
Well then, let's extrapolate from your statement. The instant that you start moving the "Automation Fader," you have made a manual adjustment.
There's no way to get to "automation" without doing some work, "manually."
The "real" automation is in the playback, irrespective of the method you used to get there.
(BTW, I think that rippling track automation is a damn good idea, and it should have always been there.)

Low volume in headphone in iphone 4s.

I have an iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.4 installed. The volume coming out from my earphone is significantly low comparesd to other iPhone 4S, this is creating a trouble. I'd also like to mention that, my loudspeaker is okay (checked), my earphone is okay (checked with other phon s), my iOS is running flawlessly. I restart my phone hundreds of times. I restored my OS with fresh firmware several times. My headphone port (3.5mm) is working flawlessly aside from the fact that, the volume level is approx 60% of oter same phones. I don't have a warranty.
Any kind of help, advice or suggestion will do. Thanks in advance.

this is a pain isnt it
I plug my beats into the iphone4s, I'm listening away, and then I get an SMS. I click close, coz I wont read that right now, and instantly my volume increases !!, but get this, as soon as the song is finshed and the next song plays, my volume reduces back down again. I need another sms to get my volume back up !!
So Im thinking, OK, the iphone wants to alert me with Chime - coz its a new SMS, raises its volume, but can neither sustain that volume through to my next song, nor if I unplug my beats and put em back in again.
*** apple, sort this out!!

Ipod playback volume

I use my ipod for Group Fitness classes & always play it at Max volume & then use the stereo system that I hook up to to adjust volume.
I've noticed that the playback volume is not as loud as it used to be even though my ipod is on max & so is the stereo system.
Is there a way to increase the volume on output when I playback?
I also have noticed that some songs thatI purchase from iTunes may not play as loud as others.
HELP!

Has the *Volume limit* been set to less than maximum? You can tell this quickly by turning the volume on the *Now Playing* screen to maximum and if the speaker icon stays as a speaker, the answer is no, it isn't. But if the speaker icon changes to a padlock when you get to "maximum", then the *Volume Limit* _is set below maximum._
On the iPod, go into *Settings/Volume Limit.* The small up-arrow under the scroll bar is the "limit setting". Turn the scroll wheel to increase the maximum and press the centre button to set it. The bar will return to a lower level. Don't worry about that - it's supposed to, the arrow is what you need to look at. +(Do not press the play button to set the volume limit unless you are going to remember the combination that you will be asked to set as well.)+
Why/how did this happen you ask? I don't know, but as I confirmed my instructions to you (I have an iPod Touch as well, so I get confused +at my age)+ my maximum volume reduced when I came out of the menu - something I realised by turning to max on the *Now Playing* screen and seeing the padlock, which I hadn't seen before!
