Beats in software tracks seems really low volume and abrupt

If i use the keyboard to play beats, they seems really electronic - meaning abrupt- i would like them to gradual - like it should sound like they start, hit a peak and then fade, not simply "boom", is there any way i can do this? also, the volume of the software track is not that great, max volume is causin clipping, Manu

What drum set are you using? The drum sets consist of samples, they are triggered with every note, no matter how long or short it is, you can only change the velocity ("volume"). However, some drum sets have pretty natural sounding sounds, maybe you're using an electronic or hip hop kit.
also, the volume of the software track is not that great, max volume is causin clipping
Well, then turn the track volume down. It's not meant to be cranked up all the way all the time. The opposite would be really bad - if you couldn't hit the ceiling no matter how you turn up the volume.

  • Really low volume on headphones with iPad mini iOS 8.2

    Hello,
    Problem is with an iPad mini running iOS 8.2. When I connect any headphone/earbud to my iPad mini I can't hear a thing. Actually the sound is not totally muted but really really really low, almost imperceptible. The headphones are fine -tried them on mac/pc/iPhone-.  I've tried with different headphones (at least 5 different sets), tried adjusting the volume max-low-max (I can see volume bar on screen showing headphones), plugging unplugging the headphones -also plugging them very hard-, restarting the iPad by turning it off pressing and holding lock button and then sliding to power off, rebooting it holding lock and home button together. None of these have solved the problem. iPad speakers are fine. This issue happens with every app with sound: Videos, Music, YouTube, FaceTime, etc. I recently upgraded the software to iOS version 8.2. I'm sure this worked in the past. 
    Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Laura.

    Unless you've accidentally set a volume limit within music settings, there's probably a problem with your headphone jack. You should also try a complete restore of your iPad just incase. Otherwise, since you've tried everything else, it sounds like its a hardware problem

  • Intermittent low volume and poor frequency response

    I have a 10 month old 30 Gig video IPOD that drops the volume level and loses all its low frequency response at times and then will recover after a while. This happens on a song or songs that I know are properly leveled and that work sometimes and not at other times. The issue seems to be much more prevalent when IPOD is cold or cool. After it has been operating for an hour or so the problem seems to go away. It is very common when first turned on. I am getting ready to return it while it is still under warranty but thought maybe someone has an easy fix.

    Returned for warranty repair.

  • Muvo TX is suffering from low volume and then volume spi

    Can anyone tell me if volume spikes are a common problem? As my headset jack rotates around the outlet (both are round and therefore capable of moving 360 degrees) during the course of normal wear the volume goes from being extremely soft to headache causing loud. Does anyone know what is causing the problem and how to fix it's
    I've already tried different headsets to make sure they were not the problem.

    This is not normal behavior. I have a 256mb TX that doesn't do this. Do you have the most recent firmware installed(.0.05),not sure if this would help or not. Also, can you test the .mp3's on your computer to make sure that the volume is about the same for all files?

  • Infinity - really low download and upload speeds

    I am at the end of my tether!!!! I pay for Infinity 2 but my speeds are ridiculously slooooww!  My problem has been a problem for over a year!
    After speaking with BT yet again - and more recently  sending numerous emails to a customer support adviser who finally confirmed and agreed that I do have a problem with the speed of my broadband  and that I should be due some for of compensations, she kindly advised me that the problem was being passed to a manager, yippee I thought until I received another email to say the manager was dealing with complaints at the time and I was advised to contact the Tech Help Desk ... what was wrong with dealing with my complaint I wonder!!
    Speaking with a BT support member on Thursday, they suggested I should go back to the old broadband, they put me on hold to speak to someone who could help and after more than 15 on hold my phone ran out of battery(!) which it does - but I know BT have my mobile number on their system and nearly every time I have spoken with Customer support my phone has gone dead but I have always managed to ask them to call me back on my mobile, but this time I couldn't ask them to do that as I was on continous hold!
    After doing the BTW Performance test 3 times a day the best download I have reached is 30 the worst is 12!!  The majority of speeds over the past few days have been between 20 and 14!!
    I have been in contact with BT for more than a year to compain about my broadband being slow and BT Vision not working properly and continually been fobbed off.
    I think the time has come for me to really seriously think about another provider.
    Does anyone else have seriously slow speeds?

  • Hi. I Have a Pavilion dv9000 which has always had very low volume - really needs to be increased?

    Hi. I Have a Pavilion dv9000 with Vista Ultimate 64.  It has always had very low volume and I find I generally have to have the volume up into the 70's 80's as well as the onscreen media player slider almost full -  which then gets all distorted - and then have to turn it down again when not using the player as the computer error beeps come screaming out., Ive checked the settings on speakers to make sure all are the same & balanced and also have updated any codecs as needed. Is there a sound lever setting elsewhere?
    cheers

    Thanks for the reply and peeling my post off Mike, sorry I didn't start my own initially.
    Well @ 1333Mhz I was using the rated timings 9-9-9-24 (as per Corsair) but it wasn't very stable as I said.
    I have since changed the FSB/RAM ratio to get 1066Mhz and it seemed much happier. (@1.5v) It would be nice to run the RAM at it's rated setting but my OC skills aren't that extensive. I imagine it would need alot of tweeking? Or could I have just relaxed the timings a bit?
    Would removing the Switch Cards make any difference?
    Thanks in advance.

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen sound really low when playing movies/tv shows from video app

    I just bought a ipod touch 5th generation for my daughter so she can watch her movies and tv shows that i purchased on itunes. On my iPhone 5S, I have no problems with the sound... Loud and clear. However with my new ipod touch, those same movies/tv shoes have really low volume. The sound while using Apps, Games and playing music are all fine. While playing from the video app, headphones are ok too... My problem is the sound from the speaker. I don't understand why all the other functions on the ipod that use sound is OK.
    I have already reset my ipod and reset all the settings too... still didnt work. Please help! Thanks

    The speaker is not that good but maybe yours is defective if you have the volume fully raised.
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted and have a poor contact.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R" or "R".
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.

  • M-Audio Profire/AKG mic... LOW volume! Power issues?

    Hey guys, desperately need some help here. So I've got an M-Audio Profire 610 interface, using an AKG Perception 200 condenser mic. I am having issues with REALLY LOW VOLUME! And I'm pretty positive I have everything setup correctly. XLR to XLR mic cable(I threw out my old one and bought a brand new one, still didn't solve the problem). I've got phantom power on and the profire is connected via firewire 400. All drivers and software are up-to-date. Got the latest OSX, running all of this on a relatively new imac.
    I have no idea why the AKG mic won't pick up sounds nearly as loud as it should. I have the gain up on the Profire up at 90% which is sufficient enough but the recordings are muffly and not as crisp as they used to be. Once upon a time I used this same mic with a Powerbook G4 and M-Audio Mobile Pre, and the mic worked AMAZINGLY in both Garageband and Logic Express, it picked up EVERYTHING and I never needed to put the gain on the Mobile Pre past 40%--it was a super sensitive mic. One day out of nowhere, however, the gain volume became ridiculously low and I had to max everything out on the Mobile Pre and Garageband/Logic, but it sounded like crap. No hiss and not too much distortion, just LOW volume. The mic was hardly used and I'm having a hard time believing the mic is the problem, just because I only used it a handful of times before the gain crapped out on me. The strong sensitivity came on and off a couple times after that, but the volume is now low all the time. The only other mic I've tried to use with the Profire is an SM57. It works, but really low gain. Guitars and keys have worked perfectly fine, no gain problems.
    I thought the original problem back in the day was my Mobile Pre, so I bought the Profire. Now I'm still having the same problem with ultra low volume. My mic used to pick up sounds from another room or even cars driving outside my window, and now I have to sing RIGHT into it for anything to even be audible. What the **** happened to my crisp/loud sounds? Is it possible that I'm not getting enough power? Would running the Profire via firewire 800 help at all? I'm going crazy here, I have no idea why my mic totally blows now. I guess at this point it seems like the mic could be the problem, but I'm scared of buying a new condenser mic and having the SAME problem all over again.
    What do you guys think? Power problems, the mic itself, wrong setup? All I want to do is pin point this thing, any help at all would seriously be appreciated!

    Since you've already swapped cables, I would guess it's either the mic or the interface. Since you've already swapped interfaces, logically I would guess it's the mic.
    Can you bring the mic to a music store or some other place where you could plug it into another interface or mixing board and see if it also doesn't work there? That would clinch it.

  • Low volume when importing from iTunes

    The volume level is fine when previewing in iMovie06 Media/Audio. After clicking "place at playhead", the imported audio track has very low volume.
    I tried other suggestions in this forum, including raising audio track level to 150%, and saving to CD and re-importing to iTunes as AIFF (which seemed to help a little), but still the volume level of the imported audio in iMovie is still way too low. This is originally a midi file my son created. It is not purchased or protected content. It imported into iTunes fine and sounds fine there. Had the same problem with a "jaws" audio clip downloaded free online. Fine in iTunes, barely audible after importing into iMovie.
    Experimenting, I made a brand new movie and only imported the audio clip, and the volume level was fine. So, it has something to do with the movie I'm working on.
    Help! I already blew a few hours on this issue and now am up against a deadline.

    Hi
    two ways
    a) Use an audio-editor like Audacity (freeware) and increase Your .aiff files
    b) You noticed that You can get the audio clip in to iMovie and amplify it to 150%
    • Copy this audio-clip. Paste it ontop of the first one = 300% amplified audio
    Do this as many times as You need it (until it gets audio distorsion)

  • Very low volume, 845PE-MAX2BFIR

    Hi, I have just bought a MSI 845PE-MAX2 BFIR and I have connect 2 speakers to the green "line out/front speaker out", it only sounds a very low whisper sound from one of the speaker even then the volume is turn to maximum, why?
    When I was trying to changes some settings to use Xear 3D 4 channel then I needed to changes the connection of the cable to the S-bracket, and at this place I can hear the very low whisper sound from both left and right speaker, but still the volume is to low, what can be wrong?
    On the connection it says "line out/front speaker out", how to be sure it is the front speaker that I use? In the setup I have choice I have 2 table speakers to my computer but this doesnt help.
    Hope anyone can help me.
    Thanks

    I've got a 845PEmax2 - SR with almost the same complaint. With attached s-bracket a lot of noise and low volume and without s-bracket attached normal sound and  all the connections on the back-panel.
    I still do'nt know what is causing this trouble.
    Is there soneone from MSI who could help us with this (hardware) problem?

  • Seemingly low volume for X-Fi Xtrememu

    Today, the second time I booted up my computer I began to receive an interesting problem. My audio worked to some extent, but the volume was exceedingly low. I had to put my ear right next to the speakers to hear anything. I pulled out my headphones and plugged them in -- Same result, low volume. When I disabled the X-Fi and enabled my onboard audio, the volume was crystal clear and worked perfectly fine. I didn't change any software, drivers, hardware, or anything of that sort within the two reboots either.
    I checked the obvious and made sure my volume was high in the X-Fi configuration panel, the windows panel, and my media players. Everything was maxed out. When I turned up my volume to the maximum on my speakers I could hear things better, but it was horribly distorted and sounded as if they were being over dri'ven. Normally I never have to increase the volume on the speakers much to hear anything, their usually on about 20-30% and I hear them perfectly fine.
    I posted about this before on another site and It was recommended I try installing the latest drivers. So I decided to do an uninstall of the X-Fi drivers for good measure and, after rebooting, I installed the drivers and rebooted once more as it prompted me. The same exact result as before: sound that seems to have very low volume. After this, they recommended I try a different PCI slot as it may be damaged. I tried the other PCI slot and I had the same exact results as before. I did not want to install the card into the slot right next to my video card because it looked like the fan would be right up against the PCB of the X-Fi and that it might impede air flow and cause both cards to overheat.
    Does anyone know what might be the problem? I'm using the latest drivers I saw (September 9th I believe) and the X-Fi has worked great for the past week and a half. I really don't want to have to own a $00 paperweight and revert to onboard audio.
    Edit: If it helps any, I'm running on the following:
    Asus A8N32 SLI Deluxe
    AMD Opteron 70
    X-Fi Xtrememusic
    GeForce 7900 GT
    If you need any other info, i'll post it.Message Edited by Sagekilla on 0-22-2006 2:9 PM

    Bump.. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I've made a list of all the fixes I've attempted
    - Checked the volume in Creative's console, the Windows volume control in my tray bar, and in the Control Panel under "Audio and Sound devices"
    - Made sure default device was the X-Fi
    - Made sure the speakers was plugged in the right spot
    - Made sure the speakers weren't faulty (I tested with a pair of head phones and on my iPod)
    - Made sure I had the latest drivers
    - Did the diagnostic, didn't help
    - Did a system restore that made things worse
    - Switched the PCI slot the sound card was in
    - Tried onboard audio and found the audio there worked fine (I don't want onboard audio and a $00 paper weight though)
    - Made sure onboard audio was uninstalled and disabled
    - Posted on the creative labs forums and got no replies
    - Safe Mode doesn't even recognize the Sound card
    I'm pretty sure this isn't something stupid like "Is the volume turned up?"

  • L9 - all tracks seem to "software monitor" when set to record! BUG?!

    Hi Guys,
    Not sure if this is another Logic 9 bug or if I am just going crazy!
    Often when recording tracking parts, I need to record three or four tracks at the same time. For example, today I was recording vocals, keyboard and bass.
    I always monitor the vocals through Logic, so the singer has some reverb in real time. However, for zero latency monitoring on piano and bass, I would usually just monitor them straight through the mixer and not through Logic.
    To achieve this in Logic 8, I would press the "software monitoring" button (the green one beside the transport window). I'd also press the orange "Low latency mode" button to make sure the tracks that were software monitored would not have any latency.
    Then I would select record for all tracks I was recording, and I would press the "i" button (orange button for input monitoring) for the tracks that I actually wanted to software monitor. Tracks with "i" pressed (usually just vocals) would monitor through Logic with effects, the rest would just be monitored through the mixer.
    In Logic 9, this isn't working! Even if I only press the "i" button on one track, ALL of the tracks are coming through Logic. It seems to be applying software monitoring to ANY TRACK THAT IS IN RECORD MODE, even if the input button isn't pressed for that track!
    So I either have to have ALL record-enabled tracks software monitored (which induces a little bit of latency for the keys and bass) or NONE (and leave the vocalist without any real-time effects in the mix while he sings).
    Am I missing something here? Is there a new setting somewhere that automatically sets all record-enabled tracks to software monitor mode when the software monitoring button is pressed in the transport bar?
    OR... is this a new bug?! It's a big one if it is!
    I'd love to hear what other people think... or if anyone has a suggestion that might help with this? I might just be missing something obvious here, but I don't think so...
    Thanks heaps guys!

    That's not what Low Latency Mode does, it only bypasses high latency inducing plugins, there's a threshold setting in Logic. But that's not the problem...

Tracks with "i" pressed (usually just vocals) would monitor through Logic with effects, the rest would just be monitored through the mixer.
    That's not how it works here (on version 8.02)
    With software monitoring enabled any track in record mode is passed through Logic's audio engine. Input monitoring only works when a track is -not- record enabled. At least that's how it's working with my RME hardware.
    Perhaps you're thinking of "Auto Input Monitoring", try adding that button to the transport bar and see if that's working the way you expect. Any tracks set to input monitoring and record will pass their signal thru Logic, tracks set to record only, will not. The sequencer has to be running so the vocalist wouldn't hear reverb until you actually start recording.
