Change song volume manually and precisely

Does anyone know of a way to set a song's volume specifically? I have a bunch of files that I'd like to set manually to -10dB. The slider in iTunes is woefully inaccurate, nonlinear, and gives no feedback in dB. I can't seem to find another program that'll let me do this. It seems like it should be easy enough.
Thanks.

There is a little program I use for trimming MP3 files called, shockingly enough, MP3 Trimmer which is shareware. It does have a gain adjust feature, but I have not played with it much. It doesn't show DB unfortunately but you can boost the gain by percent. I just tried it with one tune and a 20% increase in gain (saved to a new file on my desktop) is definitely louder. I opened both versions with QuickTime player so iTunes was out of the loop, and the +20% gain one does play louder now.

EDIT: OK I just added the track back into my iTunes and both versions seem to play at the same volume. ODD! They are definitely different OUTSIDE itunes when played with QT Player. Hmmm...

ITunes changes song volume

I downloaded Keep 'Em Seperated off a USB stick my friend gave me with a bunch of music. Well, when I play the song, it normally starts out with a quiter intro as opposed to the rest of the song. iTunes made it so that the song is all the same volume level. It's annoying me to no end. Anyone know how to fix it? I turned off Sound Check, and turned off the EQ.

The problem is likely in the file itself. Buy a fresh copy from the iTunes Store or Amazon MP3 and it will probably sound much better.

Can't change song options a and then disappears from library

I am importing audio books into my iMac (Leopard). I just updated to iTunes 8. When I import a cd, I go into info to change some of the options like from music to audiobook, compilation>no, remember position>yes, etc. When I do that, as it is "changing" all of the files, it's deleting them at the same time (just from the library, not the computer). I can't ad them back in. It acts like it's adding them, but nothing appears. The only way to get them back is to delete the library and add everything in the library folder back. Any suggestions?

I bought my daughter a MacBook Pro when she went away to college, and I then transfered my music collection from my computer into her iMac (which she no longer uses, so I do). Like xLegend above, I cannot change the info on the songs on the iMac.
The collection consists of songs I bought at the iTMS to a small degree, and songs I have ripped from my CD collection to a larger degree. There are also a number of songs that I have composed myself using Pro Tools and GarageBand, and I cannot change the info even on those...
Does anyone have an idea why this is, and how I can reclaim the ability to change information on the songs in my collection? Thank you for your help.

My ipod wont change song manually or the volume cant be changed even though ive tried double clicking on the earplugs

hmmmm. let's quickly check on this to begin with:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and slide the scrub through songs. This has always worked for me until now. I have not changed any settings

While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and scrub through songs. This has always worked for me until now. As far as i know, i have not changed any settings. This is whle my phone is locked both on the slide up toolbar/menu interface and on the normal screen before i slide to unlock.

I skimmed through this very long post but from what I read, this sounds much more like a coverage issue with your network than a device issue. I have not seen or heard of this issue before and I do not have this issue personnally and & I use the music app quite frequently while working in the yard.
The DND feature should not be a factor at all if you're sure it's turned off. I always recommend restarting your phone by holding down the home button + the lock button for 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Once the phone reboots, do a test to see if this has helped to resolve the issue.
If not, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Then, test it out again. Post back if neither of these solutions solve your issue.

Completely inappropriate, and they all also not help with volume adjustments. Fades will only apply to Audio Regions in the Tracks area: they will not fade out the complete mix unless you first Bounce it, add that to the Tracks area, apply the Fades with the Fade tool, then Bounce in Place (Again).
Much much better to make use of Track automation to take care of Volume adjustments, and to Fade out the end of the song by applying Track Automation to the Output Channel

Can you change the volume display at bottom of screen to the song time instead?

I have just bought a new Ipod Nano and really like it! The only problem I'm having is when playing songs the bottom of the screen shows the volume level rather than how far it is through the song in time (like the old nanos used to show). I find it really annoying not knowing at a quick glance how much more of a song is left to play.
I know this info is displayed by double tapping the screen (although it is only shown temporarily). Is there a way of changing the volume level icon at the bottom of the screen to display the song time instead?
Thanks in advance.

There is not. You can let Apple know how you feel about it using the form on this page.

Manually Manage Music option is GONE...when I plug in my IPHONE (which is already synced to this computer) I can no longer manually manage songs. I have already opted to do this but all my songs are grey and it won't allow me to manage ANY songs?

I cannot delete or add any songs to my Iphone (or my son's ipod) for some reason..all the songs are grey and cannot be manually managed. Any feedback is appreciated.

You will need to restore your phone as a new one using the itunes on your computer. This WILL erase everything on the phone but it will let you change the name of the phone and then you can add content to it.

How do i change over from automatically adding songs to manually adding

Using 2 ipods on the computer and don't want all of the other person's songs. How can i change from automatically adding songs to manually managing the songs that go on to the ipod. If i plug it in, i'm afraid that i will mess up all my current songs on there. Please help.

Here are the instructions as they are written in the IPod PDF manual:
In iTunes, select iPod nano in the source list and click the Summary tab.
2 In the Options section, select “Manually manage music and video.”
3 Click Apply.
Note: When you manage songs and video yourself, you must always eject iPod nano
from iTunes before you disconnect it.
To add a song, video, or other item to iPod nano:
1 Click Music or another Library item in the iTunes source list.
2 Drag a song or other item to the iPod nano icon in the source list
Hope this helps you.

Can I change the volume of songs in a playlist without permanently changing file?

I'm making playlists and sometimes the songs have a very different volume. It doesn't matter when you play a whole album but the contrast of loud and quiet in a playlist can be jarring.
If I burn the playlist to a disk I can apply the "Soundcheck" that helps. But what can I do if I just play off my computer?
I don't want permanantly to change the volumes because then the songs would sound funny when played out of the playlist.
Any easy solutions?
I'm using iTunes 10.6.1 on an iMac running OS X 10.6.8
Thanks

Any easy solutions?
No. You can't have a "special" volume adjustment for use in a playlist.

Manually Changing song dynamics when in the cloud using iTunes Match

I would like to know if I am capable of changing the volume or adding an equalizer setting to a song that was uploaded to the cloud and is matched using iTunes Match? This song/album was initially ripped from a CD.

Hi,
What you will get is the Matched version. Any volume adjustment or equalisation setting will not apply. If track had been uploaded instead of matched, the track would be identical to the original.
If you downloaded the matched track to replace the original on your computer, you would have to redo the adjustments.

Is there a way to change the volume of a track in the middle of a song on iPhone?

I am writing some songs, but I don't know if I can change the volume of certain tracks during certain parts of the song. I know you can change them for the WHOLE THING, but I want to drop down the volume of the background instruments, so I can start the solos much better.

Hi this is said to be working but I haven't tested it:
if (sequencer instanceof Synthesizer)
     Synthesizer synthesizer = (Synthesizer)sequencer;
     MidiChannel[] channels = synthesizer.getChannels();
     // gain is a value between 0 and 1.
     for (int i=0; i<channels.length; i++)
          channels.controlChange(7, (int)(gain * 127.0));

I can't turn the volume up, change songs or turn off my Muvo N

I have a Muvo N200 and once I turn it on it won't do anything. The display screen just says creative,? I can't turn up the volume, change a song or even turn it off. I have to take the battery out to turn it off. I have tried deleting the songs on there and putting them back on and updating firmware and even did a recovery. Can someone help me with this?thank you

Try going into Recovery Mode and loading an earlier version of firmware - see the link below. If this doesn't work then the player could be beyond repair. PB
