Can't Adjust Audio

I searched Apple support on this issue to no avail. I'm sure someone knows the answer to this. I'm using Quicktime 7.2 and I'm listening to the streaming audio of a radio station. I'm getting too much bass, but when I bring up the A/V Controls all the sliders are shaded and can't be adjusted. Is there anything I can do to adjust the sound?

True "streaming" media can't be controlled via the A/V Control window of QuickTime.

Can't adjust audio keyframes for certain sequences?!

I have a Sequence that I used Pluraleyes on (syncs multiple cameras automatically) but to do this, you're reuired to export a FCP .xml, import it in Pluraleyes, run the sync, which it exports a new FCP .xml, which you have to import back into Premiere... but now I've lost the ability to adjust ANY Audio keyframes! The Keyframe switch on the left of the timeline just stay greyed ouy for all my video clips!
I've created new sequences and dropped the same video into those, and it works fine...
Does anyone know why, and how to fix it?
Thanks all!
Aza

Nevermind, figured it out... Pluraleyes was somehow splitting the stereo audio into two mono tracks upon import into premiere, and I guess this confused Premiere...
Not sure if this is a Premiere .xml import bug, or a Pluraleyes bug...

Can't adjust audio slider when viewing video

I just got the January update a couple of days ago. When viewing movie I cannot change the audio level using the slider. I can still move the video forward/back slider and the pause/play button. Can someone help?

It now seems I'm having problems with any icon or control on the very leftmost side of the screen. It can several touches to get any thing to respond. Anyone heard of any defects like this?

Can you adjust audio volume at the beginning and end of a clip?

I want to add portions of songs into my iMovie videos. When I do that they abruptly start and end. Is there no way to adjust add a fade at the beginning and end of an audio clip?

As said above, you cannot.
The only work around is to edit audio in an external app.
So please do suggest to Apple to add this feature in the next update.

Can't adjust recording level with M-Audio Fast Track Pro

I downloaded the appropriate driver for my M-Audio Fast Track Pro interface & everything looks fine... BUT I can't adjust the Recording level at all. I am not sure if this is an issue with the M-audio device, or garage band??? It is driving me crazy, since I just want to make some music and can't even hear what is being recorded. ???

Thanks, .... Yes to all of the above. I am wracking my brain & will call M-Audio tomorrow. Everything looks perfect on the interface & on garage band - but, even though the Fast track Pro shows up in my sound preferences & I can select it as the input & output source, etc., when I go to its window, even hooked up, it says no "device is not connected." Then it details that there are "no input controls" under sound in system preferences. I have two working usb cords & it does the same on either. I think this is the problem & have no idea how to fix it. I just want to plug it all in and record & have lost So much time . Hmmmmm???

I'm getting audio in voiceover only on the right side in iMovie.. how can I adjust the pan. Both right and left work in Garageband but not in Imovie.

I'm getting audio in voiceover recordings only on the right side in playback. How can I adjust the balance? I'm using an external mic and preamp that work fine (both channels) in Garageband, so it's not my recording setup. Balance is Ok using internal mic but the sound is not as good.

When you share your project, use SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME.
Click Options.
In the Sound settings/Channels, choose MONO.
In the Video settings, choose the codec of your choice (probably h.264) under Compression.

Adobe Crashes upon adjusting Audio Gain and when exporting

First a bit about the systems in question
I have four identical edit bays. Each has a Dual Core 2.5 Ghz Pentium processor, 3.0 gbs of ram, a single sata drive split into two partitions (system 30 gb and video 470 gb). I am running up to date PPro 5.0.2, freshly installed on virgin drives. I was running Avsynth and FFdshow as a way to be able to import my old MJPEG footage, but thanks to Colin Brougham, I have that particular demon slain (and I am removing those two programs).I have two of the bays with the most up to date 64 bit manufacturer video and audio drivers, and two bays with Windows 7 automatically installed video and audio drivers. The problem is the same in all four bays.
We dump in one of two ways: either a direct DV dump via firewire or downloading .MXF files from our Panasonic P2 cameras via USB (can't seem to get the firewire PC dump to work correctly). The project settings I am using are DV-NTSC - Standard 48 Khz, with a slight change of requiring upper fields first (we're using a Maxx500 playout server, and it requires upper fields first). We have been experiencing intermittent crashes for a week and a half, but in the last few days they have picked up (no new updates applied, so its not that). I have two culprits:
One is an error code that thanks to this thread I know is related to the audio gain. My problem is that I have done everything I can think of and still no luck. It's been crashing with such regularity that my reporters are saving every few minutes, and I have the auto save set to 5 minutes. Today I had to reinstall this bay because it was crashing every time audio gain was adjusted.
My other problem relates to export. I use the MainConcept MPEG Encoder to output mpegs for the playout server, and about every fourth or fifth time the program will crash on export. Its not a pain to recover from, since at that point the reporters have saved and merely have to reopen and reset up the export, but it is happening far to regularly. Event Viewer references windows/system32/ntdll.dll as the faulting module. Again, I am having this error on two different bays, one with manufacturer drivers and one with Windows 7 installed drivers.
I know that despite my efforts I've probably not given enough info, so let me know what you need.

...downloading .MXF files from our Panasonic P2 cameras via USB (can't seem to get the firewire PC dump to work correctly).
That's correct. Avoid FW offloading on a PC; in fact, while it used to be the way to interface a P2 camera with a Mac, it's all USB there now, as well. Stick with USB, and you'll be fine. (I know this wasn't the gist of your thread, but I thought I'd shine a little light on that.)
One is an error code that thanks to this thread I know is related to the audio gain. My problem is that I have done everything I can think of and still no luck. It's been crashing with such regularity that my reporters are saving every few minutes, and I have the auto save set to 5 minutes. Today I had to reinstall this bay because it was crashing every time audio gain was adjusted.
This is known/acknowledged/as-yet-unsquashed bug, assuming that you're remapping your MXF audio channels from the two mono channels that are originally produced by the camera to a single stereo channel. You may be doing this manually, in the bin, or you might have a preference set to do this automatically on import (Edit > Preferences > Audio > Source Channel Mapping; if it's set to Stereo, try setting it to Use File). This bug only seems to rear its head when the mono channels of an MXF clip are remapped to stereo; if they remain as mono, you can use the Audio Gain command successfully.
If, however, your audio channels aren't stereo, post back; there might be something else going on.
My other problem relates to export. I use the MainConcept MPEG Encoder to output mpegs for the playout server, and about every fourth or fifth time the program will crash on export.

Event Viewer references windows/system32/ntdll.dll as the faulting module. Again, I am having this error on two different bays, one with manufacturer drivers and one with Windows 7 installed drivers.
When you say "MainConcept MPEG Encoder," are you referring to the MPEG2 encoder that is part of Premiere/AME, or are you referring to some sort of add-on encoder?

A way to adjust audio when capturing video?

I transfered some video/audio and am having distortion in some audio.
The original audio does not peak and when I captured it in Premiere CS6, it is not peaking out, but when I play back, I can hear occasional distortion. The video is up at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNNgJiZMrRA
Does this sound like it is overmodulating or is something else happening?
Is there a way to adjust audio when capturing audio or is it a straight feed? Wondering if I can lower the audio input to try to fix.
thanks in advance for your help,
Charlie

How are you capturing the content? Because in my experince premiere doesn't have a way to adjust the audio levels of what your capturing. However if you post how you are capturing the footage in more detail I might be able to help. Please tell me exactly how you have everything hooked up.
For example if you have the camera hooked straight to the computer or if you're using a capture card if so what kind. Some capture cards have audio gain settings which might be causing the issue. Also some decks and cameras have audio playback volume settings which can also cause audio to be sent to premiere louder than what it started as. So if you give more detail I may be able to offer some sort of help.
One thing you might try though to remove that distortion is too add a lowpass filter to the audio, and start off by setting the low pass filter to like 3000 and just adjust by 500 up or down from there until the distortion goes away. I've had to do this in the past with audio that's distorted before. (Although I haven't experinced the specific issue you're experincing before.) Although it will make the persons voice sound muffled it will take most of the distortion out. Which getting rid of distortion at the cost of making it sound somewhat muffled is a decent trade off if worse comes to worse and you can't get the issue figured out.

How do I adjust audio levels at various points on timeline??

How do I make volume level adjustments in a single clip on the FCP-X timeline? I have a music bed and need to adjust audio levels at various points in the song. In past Final Cut programs. This should be very easy but I can't find how to do it in Final Cut Pro-X. I don't want to adjust the entire clip.
Also, I recorded voice on channel 2 and shot gun on channel 1. I only want the voice (channel 2). How can I select a individual channel once I have edited the piece. I know I can re-import the video and designate which channel to bring in but I don't want to have to do that.
Thanks!!

Select a range and lower the level, or hold the Option key to click on the level line to add a keyframe.

MSI G70, can't adjust volume in game using keyboard shortcuts

Hello! Brand new MSI laptop, so awesome. However, I am unable to adjust the volume in-game using the keyboard shortcut FN+left arrow or FN+right arrow. It works fine outside of the game. I can also adjust the brightness in the game using FN+up arrow or FN+down arrow.
The games I've tried this in so far are Skyrim and Team Fortress 2. Any suggestions?

Quote from: RX-8 on 02-March-15, 12:38:02
The game just preempts the audio control from OS and make function keys ineffective. You'll need to ask the game designer.
I don't think that can be right. I didn't have any problem adjusting the volume in these same games with my last laptop using the keyboard shortcuts.

Suddenly most of the applications have no sound and I can't adjust the volume, and when I try with the volume button, appear the message "sound effect" and nothing append

Hello, Miryam Maria.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I see you are experiencing issues with sound on applications when playing video/audio content. If this is the case, the first thing I would check is if the side switch is set to silent as this can cause applications to be mute. Below I have included an article that covers adjusting the settings for the side switch. Also, make sure to close all applications in Multitasking and power cycle the device. Test the sound issue after processing these steps.

Premiere Pro CS5 crash when adjusting audio gain

Premiere Pro CS5 crash when adjusting audio gain
The same on another workstations.
Have any idea?

Hi Dennis,
I just had a go and can reproduce the problem straight away too.
Created a new project then a new XDCAM EX 1080p25 sequence. Imported a short Sony PMW-350 clip. Dragging it straight to the timeline and then setting audio gain is OK (Source channel mapping preferences set to mono).
However, if I Modify - Audio Channels and then set track format as stereo or mono as stereo and then drag the clip to the timeline and right click - gain, Premiere crashes about 1/2 to 1 second after the audio gain dialogue box appears. Error log below if it's useful.

Adjusting Audio levels on the timeline

In Final Cut I could just grab the audio line and adjust the volume of the clip. Is this possible to do in Premier without going to soundbooth? I can use the audio transitions but I just want to go up and down with the interview I have. Please advise. Thanks.

Yes, you can grab the Volume "rubber band," which is shown by default. You can also Rt-click, and chose to modify the Gain.
For adjusting up/down in an interview, I would strongly recommend using the Effects Control Panel, and then setting Keyframes for the fixed Effect>Volume. One can also "ride Levels" in Audio Mixer, but that will apply Track Keyframes, so should only be done when all Video editing is done.
Good luck,
Hunt

Adjusting Audio Levels Of Two Tracks

How do you adjust the audio level's of different tracks. I have a video and for parts I want the background music (two channel stereo) to play and for other parts I want to hear the audio from the video (two channel stero). Also, for some parts I want to hear a mix of the two tracks.
From previous experience the audio from music is a lot louder than the audio from my video camera thus, I will need to adjust the volume of the music track (make quieter) or the audio of my video track (make louder) to obtain a consistent audio level for the whole movie.
Any help is much appreciated!

Changing audio levels?
At the bottom left of the Timeline is a button with a ZigZag line. This is called the Overlays, it puts lines over the clips in the Timeline that can be adjusted, they represent the audio levels or video opacity in the case of video tracks.
With the lines visible, Click the Pen Tool (P key) and the cursor changes to a Pen Nib. Click the red line in the audio tracks to insert Key Frames (pink dots).
You can drag them up and down to change volume. Put in at least two to change levels from one point to the other, they can be dragged left or right as well, to lengthen a fade, for example.

Adjust audio level across a whole project

Captivate v5.5
I have created a project with slide narration added over 2-3 days.
I now want to ensure the level of my slide by slide narration is consistant across the project.
If I select "Normalise" from Audio/Edit Project/Adjust Volume what (if anything) should I do with the Volume slider on the left ?
Would you recommend this as being the best option ?
Is there a better option ?
Thanks,
Noel

Noel,
Normalising audio is usually done to even out difference in volume between audio on different slides in your project. So if you noticed that some slides were significantly louder or softer than others, you could use normalisation to get them all sounding more or less the same.
I'm not sure if you have the ELS suite or just Captivate, but his blog post has a quick overview of how to perform edits on audio across multiple Captivate slides using Adobe Audition. You can use other audio editors in a similar way to some extent, but the roundtripping between Captivate and audio editors that belong to the ELS is usually superior.
