Equalize Volume Levels Grayed Out

I have been working with premiere pro for quite a while but my company was looking for a way to speed up and simplify the process quite a bit, and since volume has been the main problem soundbooth seemed to be a good choice. From what I have read about the equalize volume levels feature in soundbooth, this would eliminate most of the problems and anyone here would be able to do it. I had the video open in premiere and selected render and replace in sb on the audio, but the option to equalize volume levels is always grayed out. I tried selecting portions of the track, as well as selecting different windows in the workspace to see if it was just an issue with the selection but I can't seem to get the equalize volume levels option to become available. What could be causing this option to be unavailable?

When you bring the audio over, what format is it?

"Normalize Clip Volume" is grayed out

Sorry for posting such a basic question, but I'm at wits end. I have a very simple movie (iM 8.0.4), a dozen clips or so, and want to "even out" the audio levels. When I select multiple clips (really I want to do the whole movie), open the inspector and click Audio, the Normalize Clip Volume option is not available (it's grayed out). Curiously, when I only have 1 clip selected, that button is available. Thanks, Jeff

You need to do it one clip at a time.
Here is a way to do it for multiple clips that might work, but I have not tried it.:
If you have multiple clips, try setting it to Normalize for the first clip.
Then withe the first clip still selected, EDIT/COPY
Then EDIT/SELECT ALL
Then EDIT/PASTE ADJUSTMENTS/AUDIO ADJUSTMENTS
(But this may over-ride any other audio adjustments you have made clip-by clip and set them all at the settings for the first clip)

Why is the volume control grayed out?

Hi,
I am attempting to record from a Sony ECM-MS957 mike that is connected to my iBook with a Griffin iMic onto GarageBand3.
I am following the "Learn to Podcast" tutorials from Apple. With the Sony mic connected the volume control in the track info window is grayed out. If I un-plug the Sony mic and use the built in mic the volume control becomes active.
I have the iMic selected in the System Preferences and the volume indicator responds to the mic. The iMic is also selected in the GarageBand preferences.
Can someone explain to me what I am doing wrong here.
Thanks

Volume button grayed out

The volume button is grayed out and theres a circle with a slash under it. I am using an iMac and I do not know what has happened!

The computer can't detect any speakers connected. In order to fix this, first open System Preferences > Sound > Output, and choose "Internal Speakers". If this doesn't work, reset the PRAM > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 The PRAM contains the speaker information, so it will be reset to default settings. After restarting the Mac again, it should be working without any problem.
If not, open System Preferences > Sound > Output, and select "Internal Speakers"

Recording Level grays out when I plug in my mic

Today I bought a Sennheiser e838 microphone with XLR cable and a MXL Mic Mate (to adapt it to USB) so I could record my voice. I plugged it in and it was working just fine and I recorded my song.
When I changed to a different session, the Recording Levels meter grayed out. When I unplugged the mic I was able to get it to come back on. I went back to the original session and plugged the mic back in and the Recording Levels meter grayed back out again. I unplugged the mic from the hub (the kind that has a power cord that plugs into the wall) and plugged it directly into the back of my computer but the recording meter was still grayed out.
I upgraded to GarageBand '11 to see if that would help, but the problem is the same. Does anyone have an idea why this happened and how I can fix it? I just paid about $200 for a mic and cable and everything and I hate for it to be worthless, but as soon as I plug it into Garageband, that Recording Levels meter is gone.

since none of the "meters" get disabled, i'm guessing you mean the Input Control (slider):

Possible fix for no audio & grayed-out volume control

Hi, I just thought I'd post this fix I found for my Mac Mini losing audio and also having the volume control grayed-out as if permanently muted.
I have had this problem a couple of times on my Intel 2 GHz Core 2 Duo Mac Mini. I have tried some of the software solutions found on the web such as zapping PRAM, deleting certain Plists, etc. But in my experience the fix that has worked is to open the Mac Mini and unseat and then reseat the orange Foxconn ribbon audio cable where it connects from the Mini's audio board to what I assume is the main circuit board. Then when you reassemble and turn on your Mac, audio will be back.
My theory is that unplugging and re-plugging USB and audio cables on the back of the Mini near the audio board eventually loosens the internal ribbon cable and causes the audio to stop working. My latest attempt at a permanent solution is to have USB and analog 2.5mm stereo audio 'extender' cables plugged in on the back of my Mini, which loop forwards over the top of the Mini where they are all taped down securely. This allows me to plug and unplug cables without ever disturbing the actual USB and audio ports on the back of the Mini. I am hoping this will help avoid the lost audio & grayed-out volume control problem in the future since the connection of the internal audio ribbon cable is less likely to be disturbed. It is a somewhat ugly solution but seems to be working so far. I'll post later on if the volume control gets grayed out again even with these measures.

Not on mac though

Equalize Volume in Soundbooth CS4

I have a low volume 5.1 audio tracks in Soundbooth and the Equalize Volume Levels' function is grayed out everywhere (in the Process menu, the Task window and at the bottom of the Editor panel).
What do I need to do?

Click the Make louder in the edit menu. I'm not sure what you mean about the "process menu". I suggest using the search in the help menu...God Bless

Asmca has grayed out Volumes and ASM Cluster File Systems 11.2.0.3

I've got a two node cluster which is up and running with the latest 11.2.0.3 grid install on Oracle Linux 6.3
I need to get a shared storage location I can use for File I/O testing, ASM looks like the solution with an ASM Cluster File System.
When I run asmca I do not have the ability to create these volumes or file systems as they are Grayed out.
I found some instructions on how to get it to work, and they said to use acfsload to start up the required daemons:
[root@oracleA bin]# ./acfsload start -s
ACFS-9459: ADVM/ACFS is not supported on this OS version: '2.6.39-300.17.3.el6uek.x86_64'
I installed Patches: 13146560, 14596051 - Which I thought would fix the problem. Rebooted after successfully applying the patches, but asmca still shows them greyed out
and not supported on this OS error persists.
I see some posts online saying to edit osds_acfslib.pm and update it to allow for the supported ORACLE version
Right now it shows: ($release =~ /^oraclelinux-release/))) # Oracle Linux
under /etc it only has oracle-release - could that have something to do with it not passing the check?
uname -r
2.6.39-300.17.3.el6uek.x86_64
From what I can tell this kernal should support asm..
Any help in getting these shared storage asm disks setup would be very helpful, oracleasm creates them and sees them fine for databases. Thanks.

Turns out the Kernel version 2.6.39 does not have support for the ASM Drivers for the ACFS mounting.
I'm going to have to use Oracle Linux 6.2 (instead of Oracle Linux 6.3) and rebuild my RAC to get a supported version of the drivers -> Kernel version 2.6.32

"Next" button grayed out in Extend Volume Wizard

Greetings,
I'm kind of stumped, I've never seen this before. I've seen where the "Extend Volume" option is grayed out, but never have I seen where you can get into the Wizard, but not continue.
Here is a screenshot:
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Have you tried diskpart from command line? I've seen cases where the GUI has issues but diskpart goes right through.
I presume there's no volume between this & the free space or - just like you said - the entire option would have been greyed out to begin with.

Export 3D Layer grayed out (need to export my volume)

Here's the situation.
I have a lot of single-frame DICOM files that I have loaded into layers by using File > Scripts > load multiple DICOM files. I then select all the layers and go 3D > New Volume From Layers. Everything works well up to this point - I can rotate and view the object in different render settings. It looks good.
Now I need to export this 3d object to a file I can open in 3ds max. According to the adobe help (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Photoshop/11.0/WS09CA93D5-A4AE-4936-956F-3F2742FF3F91.html) I should use the 3D > Export 3d Layer. However, this option is grayed out for me; I can't click it! Why not - did I miss a step or something?
Because I got as far as creating a volume, I assume it's not a problem with the DICOM files or my method of loading them. Because the volume is already there it's a volume-related problem, as far as I can tell.
(Just to make sure it isn't a problem with my computer, I did a simple unrelated 3D postcard, and then the option was available.)

did I miss a step or something?
Volumes have no polygons, so there is nothing to export, plain and simple. Guess why in most medical viz bones and organs are still hand-modeled using conventional techniques! If it were that simple as exporting a few MRT scans from a volume, then there would be no need for that. You will need a proper tool to generate polygon meshes from volume slices and voxels. VoluMedic is for Lightwave, but I'm sure something similar and equally expensive also exists for MAX.

Gray out site-level profile options

Hi All,
Kindly let me know if there is any sql statement for graying out site-level profile otion for all the profile optinos.
So that the dev user can only modify the profile options at user or resp level but not at the site level.
Kindly help me out with some sql query which can gray out the site - level field at profile options.
Thanks is advance.

Hi,
But they can simply login to Application Developer responsibility (assign it to themselves if they do not have it as they have access to System Administrator) and revert all the changes :)
If each use has his/her own username, you should be able to know who is the one who updated the profile option value.
As mentioned in my first reply, update the site updatable columns in the table, this should stop the users from updating those profile options (try this on a test/dev instance and take a backup of the table first -- please do not apply the same on your production instance).
One other possible workaround/solution would be using forms personalization to hide the system profile option values at the site level but again if some one has the apps password and System Administrator responsibility he should be able to disable the code.
Thanks,
Hussein

I'm getting a very low signal from my Blackbird interface. The fire wire connection is selected properly and track recording sliders set. However the recording level slider in the lower right corner is grayed out. How can I get better signal?

If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up.
You should have a look in:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/Extensions
You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple.

I have a MacBook Pro. Lately my volume button is grayed out and not working. Any solutions on how to fix this? Thanks.

I have an older MacBook Pro (circa 2009). Lately I've noticed my volume button is grayed out and I cannot adjust it. I've tried rebooting. Sometimes it becomes available to use and other times not. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!

Reset the SMC. Check the Audio Midi Setup utility. If connected to an external display that has audio, that may have hijacked the audio.

Disk Management - Cannot Extend Volume - Grayed out

Hello,
i can not select extend volume as it is grayed out.
im wanting to extend my windows 7 partition into the unallocated space to the right of it, but cant.
i also have a small 30mb partition left over im wanting to extend the xp partition into it, this is also grayed out.
please help.

Hi there,
If you want to extend volume, you should make sure there is no partition between the original partition and free space (PS: it will not work if the free space is in "Extended partition"). Attached a simple screenshot in my test machine:
http://cid-9c88b7cb6fa32a48.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/Extend.jpg
If you have dual-boot Windows XP and Windows 7, I suggest you create new partition with left free space and mount this partition as a folder to XP (or Windows 7 ) partition which is quite easy.
What do you think about it?
The OP is right on this one, and the replies are not accurate. I too have Win 7 installed on C: and on its own during setup is used only 100gb of my 1tb drive. So I have 900gb unallocated.
Win 7 will not allow C: to be extended to use the unallocated space. The option is grayed out.
