Different volume levels on songs

Hi
Just a question on volume levels. My songs all seem to have different volume levels. How do get to play the songs at the same volume level?
Thanks

You could also right-click your song file or files that need to be louder, and then click on Get Info (right-click menu) then in that window click on the Options Tab, and there is a volume adjusting slider.
Its what I use to raise the volume on my videos.
Hope I helped.

Songs play back in different volume levels

Some of my songs play back in different volume levels. How does one make the songs play back in the same volume. I know there's some setting you enable in itunes, but it's always enabled on my system. So why doesn't it work?

I know there's some setting you enable in itunes,
Do you know what this "some setting" is?
In iTunes, go to menu Edit -> Prefs - Playback.
Tick Soundcheck.
On the iPod, go to Setting Soundcheck and set to On.
Resync the iPod.
Note that Soundcheck is not foolproof and there may be some variances on the levels between songs.
You can use this application -> MP3Gain
to better analyze and adjust the levels of your songs.

Different volumes levels when I record tunes on a CD?

There are different volume levels when I copy tunes from my I-Tunes library. I'm trying to make a Sinatra CD from my I-tunes library and some songs are loud, others I can hardly hear. There must be a way to overcome this problem, but I don't know what it is. Can anyone help?

Repeating a post I made on another thread:
iVolume claims to work with iTunes' Sound Check to play songs at the same volume. The iVolume FAQ says the adjustment will carry over to burned CDs & iPods, too. It will not work on Music Store downloads due to DRM.
I've read people on this forum say it works pretty well. It's US$15.

Is it too much to ask from apple, an option for different volumes levels from different apps, including alarm, text, email, basically from every posible app?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Inconsistent volume levels from song to song

Hi guys. I've lurked here for the past week now and I haven't seen this complaint so I figured I would ask. I'm getting what seems to be inconsistent volume levels from song to song. On one song 70% volume seems loud but on the next I can kick the volume all the way up and it's not as loud. I've noticed this on the phone and through my truck which has a hardwired Ipod adapter.
I don't have the problem with the same library of tunes on my Gen V Ipod so I'm likened to believe it's a phone issue.
The problem is very noticable on my motorcycle as you have to find a sweet spot for the music to be loud enough to hear but not so loud as to hurt your ears. Last night on an hour ride it seemed as if some songs came through loud and clear and others were barely audible over the bike.
So anyone else? Other than this I have the typical problems with the low speaker/ headset volume and the Ipod software crashing when running Safari but I expected these things with a first gen product. Overall the phone is great and it's user interface makes my Ipod feel archaic. I'd put money on Apple releasing an Ipod in the near future with cover-flow and multitouch.

Thanks guys... That was indeed the problem. In fact I remember fiddling with this setting a couple days after buying the phone and I turned it on to see what it did. Not having immediately noticed any difference I completely forgot about the setting and didn't think to check it.
Problem solved.

Playlist songs are at different volume levels

I have created a playlist of songs from a particular group
however when I play the list or burn a CD of the playlist the
volume levels go up and down. How do I get them to play and
burn a CD closer to the same volume level?

Have you tried soundcheck? There is a sound check tick box in Edit>>Preferences>>playback.
When you select a playlist for burning the is also a sound check tick box on the burn preferences popup.
I haven't used either myself.

Differing Volume Levels-- Can't Find Answers

I play my iPod and iTunes through my stereo at times. JVC 140 watt stereo. My volume control has a series of marks around it similar to a clock
When I play a CD or vinyl record, the volume control for adequate sound is just a few notches above the "minimum" indicator near the volume knob (barely at "7" on the clock)
When I play the same tune from my Powerbook or iPod, I must turn the volume control on my stereo close to the "8" or even more for good sound. If I turn the stereo to radio instead of my Powerbook music, the sound is so loud it almost blasts me out and I have to turn it down.
If I compare the original recording with the second generation, I can tell the second generation recording lacks the punch and power of the original. It seems to me that a duplication should be just that-- a duplicate of the original.
I am using HiJack Pro to record my tapes and records. I also have simply inserted CD's into my computer to record in iTunes with the same results.
I have not been able to find anyone who can answer this question.
My question is: is it reasonable to expect that a recorded song should have the same volume level as the original?
If so, then how do I do it?
Thanks!

Neither the iPod or PowerBook have true line-level outputs so you will find connecting either of these in place of another device which outputs a higher voltage, gives a quieter volume. However, if you have a dock for your iPod, use the socket on that for sound and you'll find you get more volume.
On my PowerBook, I have created a custom preset within the EQ which just boosts gain. Solves the problem, although can occasionally result in distortion.
As for your encoding problem, an analogue 'copy' will rarely be perfect and relies on quality of cabling, software, but most importantly, the quality of digital/analogue/digital conversion. Which compression algorithm do you use? I can't stand the sound of MP3- even 192 is clear to me. AAC is far better to my ears and Apple Lossless, great- though results in too large file sizes for my purposes.

Setting individual volume levels per song

If i set my song volume levels individually through itunes. When i transfer them to my iphone will they be set at that level?
Also if the songs are already on my iphone and i change each a volume level on one particular song through itunes. When i plug in my iphone to itunes will itunes recognize that i have changed that songs volume level and correct it on my iphone?

1. Yes. Sound Check is supposed to do as you suggest, but it mangles the sound sometimes. I avoid it for this reason.
2. Yes. Usually the tracks for a given album are balanced well against each other. If, for example, you know a particular album is quiet, you can select all tracks in the album and boost their volume.
I'm sure iVolume works well for lots of people. My experience wasn't good. I used iVolume over two years ago and it didn't work with my protected music bought from the iTunes Store. I used iVolume's recommended setting at the time (can't remember what it was), and it made everything much more quiet than the protected music. Perhaps its algorithm or default is better now. If you use it, test it on a few tracks and then play them next to your protected tracks...

My 10G iPod-Volume Levels Erratic + Freezing...HELP!

Admittedly, I have a 3 year old 10G iPod. But I'd prefer to getting it working well if I can instead of junking it for a new model. We've been through a lot together...ha ha
The problem with mine is that the volume levels jump in-between songs pretty often. I will be listening to it on the bus and then suddenly a new song will start at a mind-numbingly LOUD level, even though I have not touched the pad. At first I attributed it to how albums are randomly mastered at different volume levels, but I generally make a point to equalize them before loading onto the iPod. I also have the sound check function clicked ON.
Anyone heard of this problem? any suggestions?
It will also freeze playing occasionally, even though the song timer continues to play out. I'd say this happens every 20 songs or so. What's that about?
Should I try to revert back to factory settings? Or should I just throw in the towel?

Hi, i bought my Ipod touch 8g last week, now, when i play my music ( without earphones ) the volume is very low even though it is on full, in fact its pretty useless, it was much louder, has anyone got any ideas please? Thanks.

Fat Player volume levels

Hi- I'm just wondering whether it's possible to set a volume level from source, individually for different songs in the Fat Player.
In my present arrangement, the four audio clips are for very different instrumental combinations and have different volume levels. So putting them in 4 different QT players was great because I could pre-set the volume fader on each one, for the opening volume.
I can see the advantages of the Fat player, but am wondering about this point.
Kay.

You can't set the volume for individual tracks in the player because it is using an XSPF playlist.
In professional recording we set the output level of each track to be the same and push this to the limit using a multi band compressor.
If your recordings are from different sources with different output levels, you need to load them into an audio editing application and reset the output levels to make them all the same.
To avoid distortion, you will have to reduce the level to that of the track with the lowest one unless you have some fairly sophisticated mastering tools.
The problem with applications like GarageBand is that people can make recordings without actually knowing anything about the subject!
Recording techniques and tools have progressed a lot in the last few years. When ripping CDs and putting them on an iPod, I notice a large difference in output levels between old and new - even between new and new!
Pop and Rock are usually pushed to the limit by the over enthusiasm of "sound engineers" whose clients want loud rather than quality.
I was listening to an album by Alison Krauss recently. That's how recordings should be made and mastered! I compared this to Fleetwood Mac's Greatest Hits which, in technical terms, is horrendous.
Loudness, volume and level are three different things and tend to be misused.
Volume is passive and can only be cut.
Level is active and can be boosted or cut.
Loudness requires the manipulation of the individual frequencies.
You probably don't want to hear all this but a basic understanding of sound and recording techniques will help you to get better reproduction on your website.

Help. Playback volume levels

I have downloaded several songs from CD, purchased and podcasts onto a playlist. They are saved at different volume levels and hence the volume varies from song to song on playback. Is it possible to equalise the volume of all songs in a playlist? Thanks

Use the soundcheck feature to level out the volume somewhat.
Apply it in iTunes using the edit/preferences/playback menu (Windows).
iTunes/preferences/playback (Macs).
Turn it on on the iPod using the settings/soundcheck/on menu.
After applying it in iTunes, sync your iPod to reflect the changes made.
There are 3rd party programs that do this more effectively (at least in my opinion).
For Windows there is mp3/aacGain.
However, this 3rd party software won't work on any DRM protected files such as those purchased from iTunes.

Is there any "mechanical" helper to get my volume levels the same?

I create playlists from ratings,(and comments),- and albums have different volume levels. As I always use my ipod to go to sleep, it is very destructive, to not be able to hear my music one minute, and then have it much too loud the next.
Is there ANYTHING, free or chargeable, physical or software, that can help me get my itunes library to all the same volume level. My problem is agrivated by the fact that I do have some shared downloads, and also someone put my vynils onto cd for me, but at a lower volume.
I might add, that I'm still a learner on the computer. I have been told to change the soundcheck -playback -preferences -itunes. I have tried it, ticked and unticked - it doesn't make any difference.
I'd be very gratefull for some advice. Please HELP, this has been going on for ages. Thank you, in anticipation.

I'm SO very grateful for your help! Have downloaded it, and have started to use it, but havn't listened to results yet.(just about to) THANKYOU SO MUCH.
Thankyou so much again, this could be the end of a long (negative) era!
A bit later: have listened to a little, seems a huge amount better. will update when used properley.
I'm anticipating some being way out. Though it says it can overcome old changed volume levels, is it best in your opinion, to put them back to original setting?
Many Best Wishes Vonnie

Volume levels in playback on a Bose.

Since when downloading many tunes from various groups, albums, artists, etc., I find that many (most) downloads come through on playback at many differing volume levels. Is there a way to 'level out' the output volume thereby eliminating having to constantly turn up, or turn down volume on playback?
Thanks!

Sorry, I forgot to say that I am using a Bose docking system, and I constantly have to use the remote volume control to adjust the level on many different tunes...

Setting/Controlling volume levels

I'd like to know what you guys do for volume levels.
I have the system volume, iTunes volume, and my Bose volume knob.
Basically, rather than worry about three volumes, I set my system volume and my iTunes volume to max, then just controll the overall volume with my Bose volume pod. This seems to work great.
I don't want to spend my day worrying about 3 different volume levels:)
Bryan

That sounds like a good idea. No pun intended. I don't like to set my sound set up to max, because I think it does not give you the best sound. Whenever I use source sound without amp to max (like a walkman), I notice that receiver or a sound device has noise or static to it. I like to set the source to medium and play with receiver or speakers for adjusting volume.

Final Cut x exporting different volumes

I have multiple nested clips in a single project. For some reason, when I export them individually through compressor (I'm using the same setting for each) They export at different volume levels. They sound and look the same in Final Cut so I have to check every single one once they've been exported and it's a nightmare. Anyone have any ideas? I'm using FCPX 10.1.1 and the latest version of compressor on Mavericks.

No ideas, but export one of the problem clips as a master file. Bring it into Compresssor and after processing, check the audio. Is it also a problem with that workflow?
