Bouncing Bars - iTunes 11

Is the bouncing bars view gone in iTunes 11? I don't know what you call them, graphic equalizer bars maybe?
I don't see a way to get them back.

My iPod Classic (160GB) seems to be working fine in iTunes 11.
It appears in the upper right of the window and I can select it and see the contents.
I can also turn on the sidebar (like in iTunes 10) and see it under devices.

Why does recording sound different when bounced to iTunes?

What I hear in GarageBand - a nicely mixed finished song with great fidelity - sounds tinny and flat once bounced to iTunes. How do I get what I'm hearing in GarageBand to be what I hear in iTunes?

Good point, Christoph
OfViceandMen, are you using iTunes '11?
The playback settings are distributed:
In Preferences > Playback are "Sound Enhancer" and "Sound Check",
In the "Window" menu is the "Equalizer".
Happy Easter to you all!

What do the bouncing bars in the iTunes display window represent when music is playing? Volume of particular frequencies in a stereo field maybe?

I've noticed that songs that I think are recorded really well, as far as good and clear instrument or voice placement in the stereo field, have all the bars bouncing like one big happy family. I'd like to learn what they are showing so that I can replicate that same kind of bounce in the songs I write, mix and master. I think that it would be a great reference tool for me as I develop a song.
It's seems clear that the two sets of bars ( 20 bars each ) are the left and right stereo fields, and I've assumed that bars rising vertically represent the volume of an instrument at that particular pan of the stereo field. But, I've been unsuccessful in being able to control which bars bounce with songs I've recorded and played through iTunes. I've tried panning both mono and stereo tracks.
Can anyone help me here? Thanks!

Do the following two things:
In the left-hand pane, right-click the name of the playlist, choose Edit Smart Playlist, and make sure that "Live Updating" is checked.
In the list itself, click the column header for "Last Played" so that the list will sort according to when it was played, with most recent on top.

Why, when I bounce to iTunes, do my wave files show up with no sound?

When I bounce wave files to iTunes the file has a time and the title shows up, but no sound when you double click on it. The time bar moves like its playing but no sound!!

If you bounce as AAC or MP3, you will lose some quality. Better to bounce in AIF or WAV if you intend to burn to CD. Now, why you can't play it in iTunes or from finder, that is weird. Like someone suggested, try AIF format. That is all I use and I can play anywhere. When you go to "Get Info" in iTunes (for the song), does it have a time? You can also try opening the file (from your Bounced folder) into Audacity? It's a free app and very nice. You will be able to see the sound wave. This will verify that you actually have sound in the file.
Let us know what you find.

Hello Zach,
I understand that you have been unable to authorize the purchases on

Zach. I can certainly appreciate how eager you must be to have this
resolved. My name is Liz, and I will be more than happy to help you

If your computer is not currently authorized to play your previous
account name's purchases, when you double-click an item you
purchased before you renamed the account, the authorization dialog
may show the old account name. If this happens, you will need to
remove the old account name from the account name field, type the
new account name, and click Authorize. This authorizes your computer
to play the account's purchases.
If you are unsure about which account was used to purchase a
particular item, follow these steps:
1) Control-click (or right-click) the item in your iTunes Library.
2) Choose Get Info from the menu that appears.
3) Click the Summary tab. The account name will be listed on the
right.
If you need further assistance in locating the current account name,
please reply with the account name listed in your items' Summary
tab. In addition, please include the order number for those items if
possible.
You can locate order numbers by following these instructions on
reviewing your purchase history:

Higher volume level when bounced to iTunes

The volume level of a bounced, (completed) tune I send to iTunes is significantly higher than when it is in the Logic Express program and I am working on it. Is this because it is a 32-bit file concerting to 16-bit? Are 16-bit files louder? Is it because it is a "flattened" file? Is this normal behaviour? I am not complaining, as I have thought the levels in Logic are too low (well, significantly lower than a CD or purchased AAC file. Any enlightment would be appreciated.

Hi,
perhaps, you have used the normalize checkbox of the bounce function. Normalizing raises (or lowers) the volume of a bounced file so that it's loudest peak is exactly at 0dbfs. So, a very soft song will probably be raised in volume. A song with loud peaks that exceed 0db may be lowered in volume. But you could also get inpredictable results, for instance, if you have an average soft song with one big peak, the whole song will be lowered in volume because of this one peak.
You can avoid these strange effects by incorporating a limiter plugin *as last plugin* in the stereo output channel from which every bounce is taken. In the limiter, raise the gain just enough to have a good signal that is just below 0db, and the limiter will cut off everything that eventually will peak above it.

LE 7.1.1 Bounce MP3 iTunes = slight distortion

Any idea why, anyone?
Thanks for your input.
Gregg

Thanks, Kevin. I don't think limiting is the issue, since I don't even know how to do that. Unless there's some default setting in control, which I doubt. Wouldn't you have to invoke something like that proactively?
But I've gotten around my problem by simply bouncing to an MP3 file and NOT using iTunes for playback. It sounds just fine via the QuickTime Player. Don't know why iTunes has an issue with it, but it's beginning to sound like an iTunes, rather than an LE issue.
I'd still like to know, but for now, I'm marking this question as done for.
Thanks for your input - it was good to hear about limiting. I'll have to investigate that topic.
Peace,
Gregg

I wasn't able to see/use right scroll bar itunes 11 ---- I can now!

In iTunes 11 I pressed:
Alt + Space
A small window opens in top left corner.
Select "Minimize"
Then go to the windows task bar and click on "iTunes" to pop open iTunes 11.
The scroll bar on the right is now visible. It is a temporary fix.
Restarting itunes 11 will cause the right scroll bar to go bye-bye.
What a sad mess this thing iTunes 11 is.

Thank you for replying. This actually my 13 year-old son's itouch. He did this without really understanding what he was doing. He heard some kids at school talking about it. There was no malcious intent. I'm trying to help him get his device back to the way it was. He'll never do such a thing again.
I googled DFU mode and tried to follow the steps that were recommended on various sites. Nothing worked. I am still getting the error message 3014 during the restore process.
Any further advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Song Volume increases when bouncing to itunes

When bouncing a song from Logic Express 9 to itunes, the volume I set the output to is dramatically increased when added to Itunes. I set the stereo output track lower (set to -5.0) and the song still comes out as loud as the others. I even set it to -24 as an extreme case and I had the same increase in volume.
I tried turning off "Normalize" in the Bounce window but that didn't work.
It's really annoying me... the songs are acoustic and need to be heard softer on the album but I can't figure out how to bounce them at the volume I want and have them stay at that lowered volume.
If anyone has suggestions I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks!
-nb508

Hi,
perhaps you have set the function to adjust the volume of songs to the same level in iTunes itself? (Preferences - Playback - adjust volume- is it checked?)
Try to play back the song from the Finder's quickview if it is still too loud.
And/or maybe you have automated the output volume so that Logic automatically moves the fader back up during the bounce?

Song duration changes when bounced into iTunes

While not an insurmountable problem I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them. Here's what I did. I was putting tracks into the Mac from an LP so I could burn a disc. LP to Mac via ProTools Free for editing and then bounced to disc. Ran ClickRepair on file and then imported into GB to use the AU high pass filter as a "rumble" filter (ProTools Free starts at 20 Hz and I wanted something a bit lower). When I pop it back over to iTunes the song had 4 seconds added to it i.e. was 2:46, now 2:50. I can always pop it back into PT, but was curious as to why this happened and if anyone else has experienced this. Thanks in advance for any insight.

Thank you HangTime, that makes perfect sense. I always thought something like that would be there, just didn't know there wasand what form it would take. My marker was out at 5:01 or so which was the duration of a previous track that I deleted. Thank you again!

Hi,
You are a GUITAR student.
You need not worry about how LOUD your mix is, and should be concentrating on your GUITAR PERFORMANCE...
Here's the hint of the week:
LOUD not equal to GOOD.
Repeat this as often as necessary until you exorcise the demon of loudness from your mind.
Cheers

Bouncing Help: iTunes plays project with more reverb

Hello,
I just finished my project, and when I export it to the desktop and play it from the desktop it sounds great. When I drag the song from the desktop into iTunes however, iTunes adds a ton of reverb and makes it sound really bad. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
Thanks,
Jeremy

In iTunes, go to the iTunes>Preferences>Playback tab, disable Sound Enhancer and disable Sound Check.

ITunes Bounces in Dock then quits

A friend has asked me to help her with an annoying problem she is having when she logs in to her account. When she logs in iTunes bounces a few time in the Dock and acts like it’s opening, with the indicator showing, too, but then stops bouncing, and the indicator goes out, too. She has even removed iTunes from the Dock and it still does the same thing, with the exception that when it stops bouncing the iTunes icon disappears.
I’ve removed iTunes and iTunes Helper from her Login Items, deleted her entire ~Library/Caches folder, deleted her com.apple.iTunes.plist preference file. She has another user account and it is not doing this in that account. That points to something in HER account, if I'm not mistaken, and that would point to her Library, right?
Any idea what could be causing iTunes to bounce like this?
She is running 10.8.5

Make sure the iTunes app is in the Applications folder, not on the desktop.
Re download iTunes > Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
Do not delete the current copy.
Then try iTunes.

How To Stop Itunes From Continuous Play?

I'd like to only play one album at a time in Itunes on my computer but continuous play seems to be automatic and there are no options to control this in the Itunes preferences...?
I notice it happens a lot but it happens 100% of the time if I enter a name/style in the search bar of Itunes. For example if I enter "rock" in the Itunes search bar Itunes will play every single rock album even if I only pick a single album or even track to play.

I don't. I make them only for certain favorites I play a lot. I also use the search and let it bring up the person or songs I want and play from the playlist that way too. That is one thing I love about itunes. There are sooo many options for playing

Recently I have install windows 7 in my old laptop since then the program Itunes show one music library at the top of Itunes and another bellow my device. The problem is that I can upload music to the top library but I can't move them to my Itouch librar

recently I have install windows 7 in my old laptop since then the program Itunes have 2 libraries one at the top which I can put in new music and the other just below my I touch device botton. The problen is that now whenever I upload music is going straigh to the top library and from there I can't move it to my Itouch library. Before I never have problems cause I could only see one library and not 2 like now .....HELP !!!!!

I do not understand what you mean about two libraries. Can you post a screen shot?
Maybe this will help with your problem
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
