Can I control audio levels on files to make all uniform?

Relatively new user. I evidently mistakenly thought all digital music files would have a uniform volume setting. As I find that is not the case, is there a way to adjust files to achieve a uniform volume level?

The adjustments are done through iTunes.

Close Captions can't see audio from video file

Trying to close caption a video file using Slide Notes in Captivate 5. Inserted Video via Insert>Slide Video, added notes via Slide Notes and checked off cc box. When I go to Audio dialog (Audio > Record > to Slide), my notes show up only as notes, the captions tab is empty. No audio is displayed for the slide (because it is expecting me to record or import some audio).
From what I've read, this audio dialog box is where I synch my slide notes as captions, but I can't see any audio or video synch reference at all -- even duration / frame count would work.
Do I need to import a separate mp3 version of the movie to synch to?
Any suggestions?

I figured it out - typical obvious error on my part. If I'm captioning a MOVIE, I need to adjust the timing via the Video tab, not the audio tab.

Presonus Firebox problem: I can see the audio levels but can't hear. Help!

Searched in the forums to what I think is a basic issue, but couldn't find anyone with an answer...
I have audio routed into my firebox from an external mixer. I can see the audio meter in the "in" sound panel of system preferences moving but I can't hear sound coming out of my soundsticks.
Audio routed out of my computer into external amp/stereo setup is audible, however.
Can anyone help me figure this out so I can move and and start setting Firebox up with Logic? LOL
My hardware specs (I'm running 10.4.11):
Hardware Overview:
Machine Name: Power Mac G4
Machine Model: PowerMac3,5

Your memory serves you well.
Yes, line outs from the mixer are hooked up to line ins 3&4 on the back of the firebox. What I can't figure out is that the Sound Panel of System Preferences shows a good input level, whereas the meter in Logic shows nothing (rec is enabled and blinking). If I switch cables to the 1&2 instrument ins on the front of the Firebox, I get levels in both Sys Prefs and Logic. I'm thinking, the problem can't be the Firebox, because the computer sees the signal either way. I'm running Logic 6.0 Platinum BTW.
I find Presonus and their manual to be lacking. They take days to write back with curt responses... Either they don't have enough people or the Firebox is not expensive enough for them to devote to customer service... I don't know

I can not control volume levels with headphones

I tried lot's of models but none of them let me control volume levels. Since the xperia z 3 is a big phone and I carry it in my pocket all the time, sometimes it's really hard to reach the phone to lover or increase the music level. It's a big shame that sony doesn't think of it.... Please help me if u know any headphone models that allows volume control. Thnx

That's a great suggestion @viridis
@suffer666 you might want to consider smartweart, either a SmartWatch2 or SmartBand or SmartBand Talk or SmartWatch 3

Can very uneven audio levels be fixed?

How do I fix very uneven audio with Premiere Pro - Can it be done?
Source/Root Cause: Person I'm filming is speaking into a handheld mike while walking around so they of course can't hold it perfectly steady, level and still in order to produce speech that is consistently even and uniform. Also, in addition, their voice fluctuates to a significant degree & alternates between soft and loud.
Results in: Audio with a substantial dynamic range.
Correction Requires: (because I don't know any better) a number of hours manually dicing up the audio track and boosting the segments that are soft to the extent necessary or trying to salvage the clipped parts.
That intensive process and concentrated effort is: wearing, time consuming, tedious and tests my patience.
I figure there must be a better solution! Experimented with the audio tools but has been shut out thus far & haven't solved the problem.
What should I be doing so I can automatically lower the highs and boost the lows?
All advice & suggestions welcome.
Thank you.

Have you checked out the "dynamics" effect/compressor control?

Can't see audio levels in Timeline

What's gotten turned off so I can't see my audio dB levels when I raise and lower them in the Timeline audio tracks? How do I turn them back on?

What did they look like before you lost them? There are more than three different ways to see that information. Which one were you seeing? You can alos use the FCP manual to search for LEVELS.

Which app can convert TWO audio tracks - MXF files to FCPX?

Help help help,
I need to convert TWO audio tracks along with my video files from my Canon XF100 - to edit in FCPX. All the apps I seem to find are only able to convert one audiotrack. I have audio from both microphone and microport, so one is not enough. Furthermore it must be a pro tool, so I don't loose imagequality.
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Tom,
Thx so much - but its not fcpx, but The converter - fcpx can't read MXF files, so they must be converted - The problem is to find A tool to convert both tracks

Can't get audio on .pps files

I have Open Office, which opens .pps files which coe as email attachments just fine, but I can't get the audio. I also find the toolbar hard to deal with, but while that impacts this question I realize it's probably another issue.

HI Roger,
Try updating your system software. Your profile indicates you are running 10.5.5
Go to the Apple Menu / Software Updates...
As far as the Toolbar is concerned, from the Safari Menu Bar, click View / Customize Toolbar

Can't add audio to video file in QT 7.1.5 on WinXP.

Quicktime Pro 7.1.5 on a PC running WinXP.
I have created a video file (.mov) and now wish to add an Audio track. Following the instructions in Help, however nothing seems to happen - click on the menu item to Edit->Add To Movie but nothing happens - in fact the menu doesn't even disappear as if the button is locked.
Any hints?
TIA.

Open your audio only movie in QT Pro.
Select all and copy.
Switch to your video only file, position the playhead at the beginning and "add".
If your files have different "times" you'll need to reverse the copy (video), select all of audio track and add scaled.

Can I control filenaming when archiving files using the file adapter?

Hi folks,
Is there anyway to control the filename used when the File Adapter writes out to an archive?
Second question, I also need to be able to pass a "filename" to the adapter from an "input file." Is there a way to do this in the file adapter?
Sincerely,
lpac

Hi,
I have done that with the ftp adapter. In the .xsl file I wrote the following after the <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" ....> tag:
<xsl:variable name="INFILENAME" select="ehdr:getRequestHeader('/fhdr:InboundFTPHeaderType/fhdr:fileName','fhdr=http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/ftp/;')"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="OUTFILENAME"
select="ehdr:setOutboundHeader('/fhdr:OutboundFileHeaderType/fhdr:fileName', $INFILENAME, 'fhdr=http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/file/;')"/>
<opaque:opaqueElement>
<xsl:value-of select="/opaque:opaqueElement"/>
</opaque:opaqueElement>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
To use this with the file adapter, you would have to wirte file where is written ftp.
Hope this helps,

Can I control what an uploaded file plays on?

When I upload an MPEG-4 Quicktime movie from my Mac, and then download it from a PC, the PC defaults to RealTime, tries to play it on that, and then determines that it can't.
Is there a way for me to export and upload a file that will automatically play in whatever is the best option for a given user?
If not, what should I be aiming for here? I want this to work easily for the largest number of people possible - IE on a PC.
Thanks a lot.
J.

if the PC user has the machine set for particular files to run in a particular application, the files will only load as directed
you would need to write an applet to run when files are down loaded, determine what applications are on the PC, and change the files preference settings.
if you have users on a network or have a fireall or security software installed, then those may block downloads or applets changing settings anyway!
do you know any proggrammers?

I can't get audio or video files into iTunes from my computer. Please help!

Using Windows 7: My wife and I have seperate iTune accounts in our respective computer profiles. In my profile and iTune account, everything works fine. In my wife's account, she's always being asked to sign into iTunes as an administrator. Also, her account will not allow her to transfer music or video files into iTunes by drag and drop. If I click on "Add File to Library" or "Add Folder To Library", It will add the file but double it in the process so there are two of everything. And to make matters worse, when iTunes open in her profile, it changes the color of the Windows theme. Someone PLEASE help me. Thank you.

Am I correct in saying that the file is on your computer? Is it in a format that iTunes recognises?
If so, open iTunes, click on the small icon in the top left of the iTunes window and select Add File to Library. Navigate to the folder where the file is located and select it, click on Open. The song is now in your Library, but don't forget that the song's title, artist etc. will reflect the information within the file. So if the file did not have a song title or artist, it will appear in your iTunes as something like "Track 01", by "Unknown Artist".

Can you raise audio level on just the left side of a stereo track?

Video with two lavs and two channels but capturing as stereo. One of the lavs is really low. Anyway to just raise that one side? I have Premiere CS5.52 and Audition 5.5 but don't see an obvious way to do what I need in either program.
Thanks for any help.

Jim Simon wrote:
For myself, I prefer the Fill effects. That'll center the channels. You'll have to duplicate the audio track and use Fill Left on one and Fill Right on the other, but you end up with easily adjustable audio.
But doesn't that leave you with two same mono tracks with the whole signal from both channels in there?
For me the easiest way is either apply the Channel Volume effect from the effects panel to the audio clip in the timeline
or, as Bill suggests, the Break out to Mono from the context menu to the source clip in the project panel.

Can't move photos & "open" from file now hangs all programs

I downloaded the free Photoshop Album Starter that was offered with the Adobe Acrobat 7.07 upgrade. When I opened it, it started to automatically download my photos and I stopped it after a few files were loaded. I have so many photos it would have been a hard-drive space disaster to load them all.
I can no longer use the "move" command (although delete still works) in the microsoft picture manager list (I have microsoft XP Pro 2000) and whenever I use "open" from the file menu of any program the window opens with no files showing and cannot be closed. I have to use CTL/ALT/DEL to end the non-responding program. Needless to say this is more that inconvenient! I have the Creative Suite CS2 and don't really need this program. How do I safely remove it? I have read that others have lost photos in the process and that would not be good. I have been working on saving all my photos to CD's so that may not be a problem. I want my computer back to it's original working condition! Any suggestions and how do I let Adobe know about this?

Hi Lauren,
I'm not quite sure I understand your concern. What are you downloading from
that has more images than your hard drive has space? Is it possible that you
confused downloading with indexing?
PSASE needs to catalog where your images are but it is not recreating them
or moving them. Please clarify.
At this point, you should uninstalled PSASE and reinstall. It sounds like
you corrupted something when you interrupted the job.
Cheers
