Good tip re: iTunes / iPod sound

Some songs download with a lot of bass... Amy Winehouse's "You Know I'm No Good" sounded awful when synced to my iPod Nano. The bass vibrated & changing EQ on iPod didn't help.
Tip = adjust the EQUALIZER IN iTUNES for that song. For the above, I chose "small speakers" and it sounds much better!

Copy the entire /iTunes/ folder from your backup to /Music/.

  • 'Thin' sound from itunes & ipod

    I seem to be getting a 'thin' sound from itunes & my ipod either after upgrading to itunes 7.1.1.5 or after loading some music software for my SonyEricsson mobile phone. Anyone else found this?
    I've played with the manual equalizer, pre-amp and sound enhancer settings until I'm dizzy, but the sound I'm getting through the same headphones or speaker set-up still makes the itunes/ipod sound like they're playing through a tin can compared to when I plug my mobile phone in and play exactly the same track (both at 320kbps). The latter sounds much richer. I'm buffled quite frankly! Either something has happened with itunes 7 or it's a conspiracy by SonyEricsson to make any other music software you have loaded to sound terrible in comparison!!

  • Rip dvd's into itunes/ipod???

    Hi -- with itunes 6 and the new ipod, how can I transfer my own video files to the ipod? can i rip a dvd I own to itunes/ipod???
    -Eric

    I don't understand the snobbery attached to paying a few dollars for a piece of software when all of us spend thousands on equipment.
    All the mentioned software is available for download and tryout, if you like you buy - simple!
    For me "DVD to AppleTV Converter" runs incredibly slow on my Quad as it doesn't support multi-processing, so no good. I have no idea of the quality of it's conversions because I binned it as soon as I realised this flaw and wasn't prepared to pay for a product that failed to utilise the power of my machine.
    "VisualHub" however is amazing. The quality is great, and it's fast - maxing out all four processors, so I have no problem shelling out a few quid for it.
    "Mediafork" is another great utility, and has the advantage of being able to rip straight from a dvd, and the quality is great.

  • Tips for making strings sound more real

    Basically i'm having trouble getting my strings from the exsp24 to sound real. mainly the violins. does anyone have any good tips?

    It very much depends on what sort of music you are writing and what you want the strings to achieve.
    As well as having decent sounding samples, you must make sure that what you are writing are typical string parts. You can have the most wonderful string samples in the world, but if you play "Chopsticks" with two fingers they'l still sound like some chimp playing "Chopsticks" with two fingers.
    Broadly speaking, chords should be structured with wider spacing between the bottom notes than the top. Although complex classical music can have chords made up of 8 or more notes, pop music tends to have much simpler writing with perhaps only 4 parts or fewer.
    Dynamics are also very important. Listen to any piece of classical string music and you'll notice there is a very wide dynamic range within phrases, and even within the length of a single note.
    In general, the sort of sound that comes with Logic are good for long legato lines, or sustained block chords, or perhaps short stabbing sounds (think "Psycho). Because the violin is a fretless, fluid instrument, parts that require more sophisticated articulations will require a more up-scale library that features these articulations, and even then the results are not always great.

  • Apple iTunes/iPod Technical Support?!

    Is there a phone number I can call to get real live tech. support help with my iTunes & iPod? I find that this forum only gives a majority of the people the run around a good percentage of the time. For a product such as this, that rules the world, there should be an easier, softer way to get answers to your problems than posting on forums and taking some days, weeks, or even months for replies. A lot of the time, persons still do not get a proper response to their questions and have to look elsewhere for solutions. I speak of this due to numerous crashes, freezes, & errors since Version 7.0 came out (iTunes Plus and Quicktime). A bulk of the issues seem to be coming from Windows Vista. With quite a few coming from Windows XP as well. I rarely, if at all, get help from this forum and that is sad! I also have to ask when the next new official release of iTunes/Quicktime is set to be published? Many folks have been wanting to know. Will many troubles be fixed? Larry

  • ITunes 7 Sounds Crunchy and Thin

    After moving to iTunes 7 all my songs sound crunchy and thin. Even at low volume. I don't have these sound issues when playing songs off the CD. . Even the pod-casts that I have on my computer sound different. Again, crunchy and thin. ( So I think this rules out a hardware problem, speakers, headphones etc )
    This leaves me with an iTunes 7 problem.
    Any suggestions?

    I read this somewhere online and it worked... I hadn't used itunes in months because my videos were playing distorted sounds (kinda choppy) I stopped buying tv shows and everything because I couldn't fix the problem. I updated to 7.0 and it was better, but now even my mp3's were distorted. So, I tried everything from this site and nothing worked until I did a search on dogpile for "Itunes distorted sounds." Here is what it said to do (from dukeybabes):
    "Open up QuickTime and in the Audio tab, lower the sound quality settings to 48Khz/16 bit ( I used 32Khz).
    If this doesn't work, try different combinations of settings (but still keep them a little lower). This has worked for me.
    Good luck.

  • Bought 5 new songs on itunes. ipod syncs but songs do not show up on any playlist

    Bought 5 new songs on itunes . ipod syncs but the new songs don't show up on the play list that is on the ipod . the do appear on itunes library. what am i doing wrong ?

    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs? (iTunes purchases only)

    how can i sync my iPod with new iTunes on new computer without losing my old library? There is no backup iTunes/iPod files available.

    If you connect your ipod to your computer then look in the hidden folder labeled "iPod_Control" . (This is on a Mac version, but i think it's the same for Windows) and in "Music" is all your music mixed up in different folders. Just drag the MUSIC folder onto itunes then BAM! It's done ;D

  • ITunes/iPod Nano Problem?

    I recently purchased a refurbished iPod Nano 4th generation from GameStop. When I went to sync the iPod with iTunes, it proceeds to tell me that it is installing "Natrual Voice Text to Speech Reader Standard". After a moment, it shows this -
    When I click "Cancel", it proceeds to show the same thing all over again.I have to end the task in Windows Task Manager to get the box to go away, and this closes iTunes with it. iTunes still works when the box is present, but the iPod is not recognized in iTunes.
    Thinking this could be a virus, I ran antivirus scans on the computer and the iPod. Nothing showed up.
    At this point, what should I do?

    I cannot activate a ringtone which I prepared with Iringer. It appears in iTunes under sounds but doesn't appear in sounds on the iPhone!!!

    if you created a ringtone, it should appear in the tone menu in itunes.
    Is the ringtone 30 seconds or less?
    Also I would check the iringer support site to resolve your issue.
