Cd burn volume

Hello all!
my iTunes has all of a sudden 'remarked' that it can't find certain songs from my library after synchronizing my ipod - they were all the last songs in 15 different albums.
after that while trying to re-copy those songs it begun to copy audio cd's in "large" format, if up till now i would copy a cd for 40mb, now it copies it for 400mb - even same cd's i have in my library.
i have tried to change my import rate but with no success.
what should i do? please help!!
thank you

You might want to make sure you have sound check UNCHECKED. To verify:
in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Burning. Look for the sound check box and make sure it is unchecked.
You many have to restart iTunes for the change to take effect.

ITunes Burning Volume

Has anyone noticed a change in the volume when burning CDs in iTunes.

closer0,
Make sure "Sound Check" is not enabled in Edit->Preferences-> Advanced Tab -> Burning
Sound Check tries to equalize the volume throughout the songs. Sometimes this leads to decreased volume.
Hope this helps,

Burning Sound Level

Is there any option to show the "burn" volume level, of a complete playlist, before it is burned to disc?
The purpose of the exercise is to take recordings from old CDs and make a mix CD. The mix CD playlist has been carefully adjusted to make an improvement to the relative sound level between tracks, but it will not burn a consistent sound-level CD.
Sound Check is not working well enough, and manual adjustment to the volume adjustment of each track is not sufficient.
Are there any other factors that could be adjusted in iTunes, or is there other software that will do this accurately?
Thanks,

It sounds like you're looking for a "CD Mastering" service. I don't have any recommendations, but you could try googling "CD Mastering Services" and see what comes up.
One warning: By "original" music--I assume you mean you own the copyrights. If you are working with tracks from "original" CDs created by others--you may run into some copyright issues.
You might want to consider one of these "Audio Production Software" titles:

Unfortunately, I don't have any recommendations, although CNET does have user forums and allows users to write reviews so you might find helpful advice on the site from other users.

Disk manager not assigning usb enclosure drive a letter

LAPTOP: Toshiba Satellite 1135-S155 Windows XP Home Edition.
current preinstalled 40 GB HDD message says it is failing & backup. want to backup to usb enclosure using western digital 80 GB HBB (didn't want to shock the system). computer does detect my toshiba 4 GB flash drive & assigns drive letter E. DEVICE MANAGER detects the western digital hdd as: usb device generic void disc, PROPERTIES claims Location 0; VOLUME shows Disk 1, unknown, unreadable, partion style as Not Applicable, 0 MB. Disk Management does not show usb device thus doesn't even assign a Drive letter to it. not attaching any other usb device while i have usb enclosure hdd hookup. have gone through troubleshooting, reinstall, basically what i can find to do from "Windows XP Inside Out Manual" unless not looking in right place.
Should i place new western digital 80 GB HDD into computer, use original restore discs that came with system, then place old 40 GB HDD into usb enclsoure and copy that hard drive onto the new 80 GB HDD? Or what?
found a hero once in this forum & hopefully will find you again. love my old clunker & don't want to give her up yet!

Hey, I'm back. And with SUCCESS!!!!
Was able to take new hard drive and connect to a laptop running VISTA. VISTA recognized the new hard drive that was in the same USB external enclosure that I was using. VISTA recognized in both Device Manager & the much needed DISK MANAGER. Was able to initialize immediately w/no problemos!! YIPEE SKIPPY.
Did I dare to be BAD? You betcha! Took the initialized HD back home & hooked up to the TOSHIBA Satellite 1135-S155. Again, success. My old DISK MANAGER saw it, I was able to continue to partition & format it!!! Why WinXP Home Edition couldn't initialize it? - Is one I'll leave for the cosmos.
Anyway - Who says you can teach an old dog new tricks - HA! Little did they know about ME - oh, ahem, and of course JERRY aka The HERO and also The Wondrous CEE-64.
So excited was I, and how could I NOT be? That I immediately tried the FREE Acronis True Image Western Digital Edition that was suggested by The Wondrous CEE-64 on the 08-29-2009 7:03 PM session. As I was hoochie-cooching around in my NEWER SHOES, I suddenly I noticed that after burning 'Volume 5' onto a CD-R - ERROR MESSAGE (Error occurred while writing to file), hmmm - inserted a different CD-R, again same message, hmmm - inserted a different CD-R yet, hmmm - same message & got the hint. Shall I go on? OK you asked for it.
After checking Western Digital website & running one of their programs. The initialized, partitioned, formatted WD Scorprio Blue HD was just being recognized as a USB Generic Mass Storage Device. Hmmm - maybe because the Western Digital Edition couldn't detect the new hd being from WD, could that be the problem? Closed and uninstalled the FREE Acronis True Image Western Digital Edition.
Per HERO Jerry's suggestion on 8-27-2009 12:00 PM, I downloaded FREE Acronis True Image 2010 Home Edition. Loaded fine, reread the users guide (serveral times). Attached the USB external enclosure (YES, the hard drive was inside) started the program, used CLONE DISK option, TA-DA it worked.
Yep, it has to reboot. Okey-dokey. UNTIL it came to me having a problem. This TOSHIBA requires an F1 button to be pushed after start up AND it doesn't like the USB GENERIC MASS STORAGE DEVICE to be attached during boot up. It stops & requests either F2 (setup) or F_ (I forget) and doesn't respond until I 'safely remove the USB device', then the F1 button. SOMEHOW, after swapping out the drives (THAT went really well, pat on the back) & Started the computer up. YUP, Toshiba intro screen pops up, then the F2 etc. screen, & waited longer than usual. Pushed the F2, saw that it is the WD drive with larger capacity, exit, then a dark screen with a flashing cursor in the upper left hand corner came on. That was it. Nothing for a minute or two, tried just shutting the laptop off. Wouldn't. Ended up swapping the hard drives while the fan was running. Using the old TOSHIBA 40GB drive again.
Whada say? One more time for old times sake? Or should I just hang it up? What do I do now, pleazzzze and thank-you.
PS - Can't wait, this stuff is getting good!

Using compressor DVD Studio Pro 4 will only accept ac3 format in the burn process. ac3 makes a nnsense of the good sound delivered, 30% reduction in volume, auto volume levelling giving unwanted volume variations. Used to be able to burn using AIFF/WAVE,

AS Above. Edited in FCPX. Excellent sound file. Using Compressor 4 to DVD Studio 4. Wanting AIFF or WAVE sound for acurate sound.
Previously DVD Studio 4 has accepted AIFF etc and delivered sound as reuired. Now, during the burn process everything other than ac3 is declined as 'video bit rate too high', but will burn if the AIFF format is replaced with ac3 (which I presume meanss the 'video bit rate too high' is referring to the sound file)
The issue with ac3 format is the huge reduction in original volume and worse, the 'auto volume levelling' that makes a nonsense of the original soundtrack - with simply aweful unwanted variations in volume Throughout the the dvd.
I have tried everything I can think of to get around this. The 'volume gain' in compressor doesn't make any difference. Exporting just AIFF and the Video to DVD 4 doesn't make any difference, it always declines anything but the aweful sound ac3 delivers.
I have customers awaiting a musci DVD, not with thei quality I can't.
Cheers
Phil

The total video bit rate is determined by audio & video. Depending on what rate your video file was encoded at will determine how much room is left for audio. PCM(aiff/wav) audio requires a bigger piece of the pie. Video bit rate too high means your overall(video+audio) rate is going above 9Mbps which the format won't allow. The only way to use aiff would be to lower your video file's data rate. The length of your program is also a factor in all of this.
I had some problems in the past with using aiff instead ac3. Although there shouldn't be any issue I experienced playback issues on some players that couldn't be explained but were cleared up by ac3. I have been using the same specs as Dave's suggestion for almost nine years and have not had any issues with mix, quality, or levels.

Volume Too Low on Burned Discs

Hello,
I buy from discs from the iTunes store. Load them catalogue them in the Libray/Playlists. The I burn a copy and ie: play it in the car and it is inferior I have to crank the volume all the way and it is just not overly loud; ie:2 I take the burned disc and play it on the Powerbook or iMac and no issues, until I go to the iTunes store and listen to their sample and it is way louder.
Can you help me out please?
T.J.

Do you have sound check on when you burn cds (in the burning options preference) or do you have it on when you are playing music from your library. If you have it on when you are playing music from your library then i suggest you turn it on in the burning options but if you do not use it while playing music from your library and have it on in the burning preferences then turn it off.

Volume inconsistent after burning a CD

Hi: Even though my 'sound check' is turned on, my CD's are being burned with big variations in volume between songs. The songs in particular had burned just fine not that long ago and all of a sudden, they have gotten much quieter. I've redownloaded, and repaid for the songs, and it's still happening? Can anybody help??
Thanks

MY BURNED CD'S SONGS DIFFERENT VOLUMES/BASS

I looked around and could not find an answer to this. Why, when I burn a CD with various artists and genera is one song quiet and the next song loud with a bass so bad I have to turn it OFF in my car? This is really annoying. I tried different things to no avail.

*From iTunes Help ...*
◼ When you burn a CD, iTunes automatically adjusts the recording speed to the blank CD’s rating. However, if your blank CD is rated for a slower speed than the maximum speed of your drive, or if you experience problems creating CDs, you may want to change the CD recording speed to match the CD’s rating by choosing an option from the Preferred Speed pop-up menu.
◼ To change the length of the silience between songs, choose an option from the Gap Between Songs pop-up menu.
◼ *To have all the songs on the CD play at the same volume, select Use Sound Check.*
◼ CD players in some vehicles can display information stored on CDs; select Include CD Text to use this option.

Volume fluctuations on burned discs

I recently created my first project on iDVD and burned it to a disc. the sound levels kept fluctuating, raising at some points, then dropping down low. since i had made the project using Magic iDVD, i went back and created it manually. i saved it to disc image to test. both the disc image and the project itself sounded fine, but when i burned to a new disc, the volume fluctuations werew evident again when i play it on my tv (through my panasonic dvd player). can someone help me fix this?

Hi rob Nixon
What media brand are you using? And does the iDVD play ok in the computer? I recommend using Verbatim DVD-R Minus and burn at 4x or slower from a disc image.
If the above fails to work then I suggest using a high quality (ie, Maxell or 3M Scotch) DVD Lens cleaner kit (use this kit on the panasonic dvd player). It should play your iDVD fine thereafter but if not ....
Post back if neither of the above suggestions resolves this issue.
Also you may wish to try out the iDVD at a local consumer electronics store that sells several DVD Players to see if it plays normally on these machines as well. Hope this helps.

Burned CD volume level too low

I have noticed that CDs burned with GB are at a lower volume level than commercially recorded CDs. The GB master volume is as high as I dare go without constant peaking. Can this be adjusted some other way?

Is there a way to burn old cd's with new cd's and get the same volume/quality on playback?

RIP the CD as AIFF or WAV.
Create a playlist then burn an audio CD.

Volume levels burning to CD

I know this problem has been raised before but I wondered what were the latest thoughts on getting consistent volume levels when burning a mixed source playlist to a CD. Some songs on the CD are a lot quieter than others.
In the info box on the individual songs I noticed I have a range of volumes from 2.3db to 12 db.
I have iTunes 6.0.5 and wondered if this is the version 2 that people say has improved on the previous one when it comes to this problem?
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Thanks for the feedback---I was sure i wasn't the only one this happened to. That is an idea about the iTunes version---i need to redo some of my old playlists and see if they turn out better. I did a few playlist that were better---but it's hard to know if the source music is better or the new iTunes.

Troubles shooting with burning data on my mac, I try to burn pictures on a CD-R disk, and I get a window that says, "Burning failed", one of the volumes on the disc is still in use", what does this mean??

Trying to burn data on a CD-R disk, but then I get a window that says, "Burning failed" , and that one of the volumes on the disc is still in use", so what does this mean? Not sure what they mean by volume still in use, this apparentely is keeping me from burning info such a pictures and or video's, how can I fix this?

You have a disc inside your optical drive.

Remove the extra disc.
My answers are basic because:
You never told us which model iMac you have?
How you are burning? Through iMac? External burner?
Which OS you are currently using?

Volume levels when burning finished product

I just burned a project from imovie 11 onto a dvd using idvd. The volume came out much lower on the burned dvd than it was in imovie. Is this common? If I finalize and/or do expert settings and then burn the project, will that help? Or do I need to bump up the volume on all of my clips?

Using Sound Check for audio CD burning has been quite hit or miss for users with different gear since at least version 4.x from what I can recall. However, when a problem like this only affects certain systems, it's hard to pinpoint when it really started. Also, with Sound Check, it's up to users' perception of loudness whether the routing did its thing like it was supposed to or not.

How can I increase volume when burning to CD ???

After I download i-Tunes to my Windows XP computer, I then burn to CD to play in my car. However, the volume of the CD songs is limited. I want louder playbanck. How can I burn songs wiuth "increased" audio volume?
Dell Dimension Windows XP

I have the same question. Have you heard from anyone on this subject yet. I am going to try burning without the "soundcheck" option to see if that helps, although I suspect that will put the volume in the car all over the map. My theory is that the program has no option other than to limit the volume of the louder recordings to match the volume of the quieter ones. We'll see
