Creating CDs in Logic with proper volume levels

I took some songs off of both audio tape and CD, and combined them into 1 compilation. I originally recorded the audio tapes into logic, then bounced them as AAC files. Then I brought those AAC files, plus songs from commercial CDs into iTunes and burned everything to a CD. However, all the volume levels were mismatched....the more I read about iTunes the more it sounds like the program does not do a good job at evening out all the volumes. Is it possible to use Logic to do this, and even burn the CD within Logic...I assume Logic would have this capability based upon it sophistication, Im just not sure how to do it. Thanks!

Also, is there any way to measure the level of each track within Logic
double click on the region to open it in the Sample editor window.
There under Functions select Change gain...Search maximum
Have you tried using Waveburner?

Unhappy with max volume level of ZEN NANO P

Does anyone know how I can increase the volume level of my Zen Nano Plus.
At the moment it goes to 25, but it is still quite low.
Is it something to do with the way the mp3s are ripped or can I change something on my MP3 player?
Thanks for your help!
Neil

As I stated in my earlier post, I don't have a Zen Nano Plus - I have a Zen Vision:M. Replacing the EU firmware with the US version has worked in this case - as it also did with my previous player (a 4GB MuVo^2). It has also worked with my friend's Zen Sleek Photo.
There is no real reason why the firmware will not work, as the player's hardware is the same in both territories. Therefore, I can only put the problem down to a problem with the firmware update.
Try replacing the battery with a fresh one (to ensure there is power) and follow the instructions on the <a href=http://us.creative.com/support/kb target=_blank>Creative KnowledgeBase[/url] for updating the firmware, as there is a recovery procedure outlined.
The Solution ID is 265 - you can also find it as number 7 on the 8 most common solutions after selecting the Zen Nano Plus from the list ("Updating firmware for MuVo N200 or Zen Nano Plus"). You will need to redownload the firmware updater program from the Creative US website if you have deleted it.Message Edited by Lokiz0r on 07-2-2006 0:03 PM

Reclassification - Posting Logic with Different Posting Levels

Hi *,
we've a reclassification task on posting level 30.
In SAP online help I've found the statement "The system includes all values of the triggering object(s) entered or posted with a posting level less than or equal to 30.". So I assume that also PL 12 and 22 is covered by our reclassification task. However, I've realized that the task doesn't consider postings on PL 12 or PL22. Within the SAP help I couldn't find a remark that cons group changes are exluded.
Does anyone know whether cons group changes have to be considered by the system?
Thanks in advance!
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
AFAIK, 00, 01, 10, 20 and 30 PLs are considered by the system in case of reclass on the PL 30.
PLs of cons groups changes ( 02, 12 and 22) are not considered.

How can multiple speaker outputs be created with varying volume levels and retain keyboard master volume control? Multi-output and aggregate both cannot adjust sub-devices and lose keyboard volume control capabilities on my Mac. What's the solution?

Is it my Mac? Is there software I need? An app perhaps? This seems way too complicated to set up spkrs. I'm attempting to use 2 hdmi and 1 headphone outputs w/ control and varying levels (ie hdmi's quieter than desk spkrs) thanks for suggestions! -Tim

Hi Tim,
Not sure since I'm deaf,but if possible I'd think...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there.

Very low sound with 100% volume level

Hello. I have bought HP G42 - 369TU laptop 2 weeks back. I have some problem reguarding the sound. Eventhough I kept in the maximum sound.. the sound i hear is less than my privous laptop G6000 . Is there any hardware problem? or is that model has low volume sound? Please advice..
Thank you.

I have a similar problem with my Mini 110 netbook. My maximum setting appears to be 50. I have posted this problem tonight and am awaiting a reply.

How can i create a zip-file with multiple volumes

Hi,
i've to zip a large file (250 MB and more). But the zip file shouldn't be greater than 5 MB, because i have to send the file via E-Mail. So i've thought, that the solution of this problem can be to zip the large file in smaller zip-files, which are multiple volumes of a zip-archive. I've searched very long in WWW, but didn't find something. Perhaps you can help.
Sorry, about the bad english. :-)
Timo Bunger

Hi
Who said your english is bad ?. OK, are you looking for compressing the 250 MB file in to multiple versions using a java program ?. If not, there is a shareware you can download and split the file into multiple parts by specifying size of each part. You can send these parts via email and the other person can combine these parts into a single file again.
Find this @

You may need to read a bit about it on how to use.

I play my music via an airport express attached to my hi fi system. Since upgrading to maverick the sound quality is very poor. It sounds very flakey with the volume level going up and down. Tried Ethernet and wireless, but no good

I play music on my hi fi via an airport express attached to my iMac.
Since installing maverick the sound quality is terrible and I get frequent distortion, which never happened before.
I have reset the airport express and reconfigure my wireless settings. I have also used Ethernet on its own but still get the same sound problems.
I would love to turn itunes sound off as you used to be able to do, but this I believe can't be done.
Has anyone else been having the same types of problem, and better still has anyone got the answer?

So if I connect my ipad or iPod to an airport express that is being "extended" from the main airport express (the main router which is plug into my audio system), I should still be able to listen to my music, correct?
Yes but be sure to turn on Airplay at whatever Airport connects to the audio.

Also, will the date rate be decreased if they are connected by cat 5e Ethernet cable? I thought signal drop is minimal.
That's a whole different ball game and a much better solution if it's practical to implement. The data rate will not decrease.

Export All Tracks as Audio Files ? about volume levels.

1. Do you export with each track at the volume level in the mix?
2. Or do you set the CS volume faders at 0.0 to get the maximum signal?
The first option allows me to recreate a mix with the volume levels already set.
But the second option gives me audio files at original record levels so that I can create a different sounding mix, or use audio regions in another project, setting levels as needed.
What's the better approach???

CSeye wrote:
I just started exploring Export Tracks to Audio and had the misconception that whatever fader & pan positions were set in the mixer would be rendered in the export. Good to know that Bounce is the way to go if that's needed.
Just be sure to UN check the 'include volume and pan info' esp if someone else is gonna mix for you
On the other hand for archiving purposes including fx and pan and vol is a failsafe way of doing things
My question is really about two situations: The most important one is archiving/future proofing a project, and the other is how best to share a mix with a collaborator.
Good information.
Best
Just make sure

Volume level

is the only place to adjust the volume level of a selected "track" with those volume level lines. They seem to make such a little difference and it seems as though certain audio clips just cant even get loud. There must be a logical answer , i know it. Can anyone help?

ok. I'll try, if you insist.
You should be able to adjust the levels using the line within the tracks and by marking points and pulling the tracks up and down. This works fine for everyone - except, apparently - you.
Perhaps your tracks are intrinsically not loud enough? In which case - and forgive me, but I'm not in front of my FCP computer right now - find the menu item called "normalise". It's in the latets evrsion of FCP, but I'm not sure if it's in earlier versions. By applying that you will increase the track level to the maximum, and you can then, perhaps find the feature within the timeline will work better for you.

Speech Volume Leveler settings

Hi,
I'm recording voice overs, and I have a few clips on a track that are louder or softer than others. I'm looking for the best track compression effect to keep the volume consistent. I'm trying the "Speech Volume Leveler" effect (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/audition/cs/using/WS2bacbdf8d487e5822ff37ac212ce304d19b-8000.h tml) , but I can't figure out what values to select for "Target Volume Level" and "Leveling Amount". I apply a "hard limiter" to -3db as my last track effect.
Thanks for the help.

The "Speech Volume Leveler" effect (under Effect > amplitude & compression) creates an artifact or noise in my recording.
* Here is the recording with all track effects disabled: No speech leveler
* Here is the exact same clip, on the same track, with only the "Speech Volume Leveler" effect enabled : with speech volume leveler . There is a suction sound towards the end.
* I've tried the default setting , I've also tried reducing the leveling amount, but I still get the same noise at the end.
* All other tracks are muted.
I'd really appreciate any solutions.
thx

N8 Volume Levels

How is your experience with N8 volume levels both in external(rear) and internal speaker? I find it to be somewhat low. As in at full volume I cant get the sound to be jarring or anything close to it. It just seems about adequate at full volume without any signs of the speaker straining at full volume. This is strange to me. Ipods at full volume you surely hear LOUD stuff which is just beyond your comfort zone. I almost suspect its a fault in the handset. Also the music player app doesnt seem to have any internal volume control? Is this correct behaviour?
Anyone else experience this?

This is an interesting subject .... I recently got a Sansa Clip (great MP3 player for the price) but the volume at max was pitiful. A search on the internet showed that due to an EU directive (I think) the volume was capped. I found instructions to reset the device and instead of Europe enter USA during the setup process. I did just that and now the volume is fine - much louder. So ... this may be a legal requirement imposed on us (and Nokia) by our elders and betters (HAH).
Extract from another website;
"Finally, your comment on European Union iPods. You are correct, all iPods (and all other makes of mp3 player) sold within the European Union (EU) countries have lower volume output than those sold in the rest of the world. This is because the EU has decided that we should be protected from ourselves."
So iPods seem to be subject to this as well - from my knowledge it applies to any device capable of playing sound - and I suspect this includes mobile phones.
The regulations have been introduced as listening to 85db for more than 40 hours a week, or 89db for more than 5 hours per week have been shown to have long term damaging effects on hearing. Given the fact that on public transport I can regularly here the music (from so-called personal devices) of half a dozen young people round me, I wouldn't be surprised if half the population currently at teenage is deaf by the time they are 30.

How to create an ABAP Query with OR logical expression in the select-where

Hi,
In trying to create an ABAP query with parameters. So it will select data where fields are equal to the parameters entered. The default logical expression is SELECT.. WHERE... AND.. However I want to have an OR logical expression instead of AND.. how can I attain this??
Please help me on this.. Points will be rewarded.
Thanks a lot.

Question Man

Hi Bhupal, Shanthi, and Saipriya,
Thanks for your replies. But that didn't answer my question.
Bhupal,
You cannot just replace AND with OR in an ABAP QUERY. ABAP QUERY is a self generated SAP code. You'll just declare the tables, input parameters and output fields to be displayed and it will create a SAP standard code. If you'll try to change the code and replace the AND with OR in the SAP standard code, the system will require you to enter access key/object key for that particular query.
Shanthi,
Yes, that is exactly what need to have. I need to retireve DATA whenever one of the conditions was satisfied.
Saipriya,
Like what I have said, this is a standard SAP code so we can't do your suggestion.
I have already tried to insert a code in the ABAP query (there's a part there wherein you can have extra code) but that didn't work. Can anybody help me on this.
Thanks a lot.
Points will be rewarded.

TS4498 Is music created in logic pro compatible with the logic pro x ? for instance if you have created something in logic pro and wont to add or tweak it a bit is that possible?

Is music created in logic pro compatible with the logic pro x ? for instance if you have created something in logic pro and want to add or tweak it, is that possible? I suppose you would need the original logic folder?

Yes it is more or less compatible, except the use of 32 bit plugins, which is prohibited from now on. So although you're able to open Logic projects as far as down to v5 I believe, it is advisable to remain for 'adding and tweaking' in your pre LPX environment.
Have a nice day!

What is the proper way to create a monotone image with real looking contrast?

Once I apply a color to my previously created black and white image everything looks washed out.
I have an artwork with 3D representation of the letterforms, casting shadows on the textured surface. Shadows are deep black. I need this artwork to be colored in gold. My client forwarded me the specs for the metallic gold which he got from the PANTONE. They are:Gold (871); Adobe 1998 RGB: 126-113-76
HSB*: 44 degrees-40%-50%
What is the proper way of applying those values to the desired image.
My idea was to make the image black and white and than create a monotone image with the above specs. In this case the image gets washed out as the darkest black in the shadows becomes this Pantone gold. Is there any other way?

A duotone will work, however you are going to want to work closely with your printer . Most printers will want the second color in CMYK (Possibly C60 M40 Y0 K100 instead of RGB values or specify a Pantone Rich Black (I personally like 6C)but it will cost you more for the wash up of both heads of the printer...
Go to Image>Mode>Duotone (image must be greyscale first for this to work) then add the desired colors to your ink scales.

Volume levels in logic pro X keep jumping up to +5.2 and +5.0 by itself?

Volume levels in logic pro X keep jumping up to 5.2 and 5.0 by itself.There are no plugins nor automation activated on tracks? how can i stop the track levels from jumping?
What do i do to avoid this?

I and the same problem and neither of these fixes solved it. Defintely not a controller problem as guessed.
The problem was solved by going to the step editor - similar to automation - but more hidden, and also taking place in the track at a point that I had trimmed out that heppened before the beginning of the composition.
I solved the problem by going into the step editor of the track and deleting the bar in the volume track that kept setting it, and not showing up as an automation curve.
I found this problem infuriating ,I really hope this solution helps.
