HI - HOW DO I LOWER SOUND LEVELS ON CERTAIN TRACKS ON PLAYLISTS /BURNING TO CD TO AVOID BEING BLASTED? THANKS

I have a selection of music, but some of the tracks are far louder than others - can i adjust these levels before burning to CD or loading playlist to iphone?

Thanks Jolly Giant!  I have a simple solution suggested by Natryann - command + 'i' and adjust - perfect for current priject.  iVolume looks very interesting and will look at it further when got more time and more sound managing to do!  Many thanks.

  • Low sound levels in Photo Booth and Imovie

    I am a new Mac user and I am trying to record a short video to email using the built-in Isight camera. I have tried to use Photo Booth and Imovie and both of them produce videos with very, very low sound levels. You can barely hear it even when turned up to the max. I have checked the Sound preferences, and it is set to the built-in microphone, about mid-level. I've tried cranking it up to the max and with and without Use ambient noise reduction checked. It has no effect. How do I get a decent sound level? It is unusable at this point. I've updated my Software and repaired permissions, and still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks for the response. I checked my midi audio settings and they are at the suggested rate. I called up an Apple support tech, and after trying a few things he basically said the internal mics are junk and go buy an external one. In the mean time, I've cranked up the sound levels to max, so I can hear it a little, but there is a ton of background hiss. I've done a web search and several people have reported this problem. so I think it might be something besides junk mics. Why do they install them if they are completely unusable? Thanks again. I'll try trashing the sound pref's too.

  • How do change the sound level input at the premiere cs6

    Hello:
             I would like to know how to change the sound level input al the premiere cs6?.
    Sincerely, Gabriel Conde

    The input sound levels will be determined by the media files you use.  The output volume can be adjusted in several ways.

  • Low sound level when I using BT earphones

    When I use BT earphones to listen mp3 songs on my Nokia N95, the volume always starts from very low level. At the beginning, I thought there was no sound. Once I turned it up, everything is ok. Can anyone tell me how to increase the default sound level or ideally recall last listening level.
    Thanks!

  • HT5517 How can I adjust sound level when streaming radio from my Apple TV through Airplay speakers?

    I have a 2nd Gen Apple TV with an airport express set up as airplay speakers.  I can stream the new radio through using the Airplay speakers pretty well.  The problem is that once I've got it going, I cannot adjust the sound level without laboriously backing out of the radio menu, going back to the top level menu then drilling down into the Airplay settings to raise or lower the speaker's sound level.
    Is there an easier way to do this?

    go to system preferences > Sound > Output. then change the output from "built-in" to HDMI.

  • Volume level on line-in at 100% but still low sound level when I rec

    For many years and hundreds of times I have successfully recorded wave files using a wave editor (Goldwave). I have transferred albums, tapes, and now satellite radio by running stereo cables from my receiver into my line-in on my sound card (using a stereo-to-mono adapter). The volume level on the line-in was always too loud on my old sound card, so I always turned the volume of the line-in down to about 20% and it worked just fine.
    Two weeks ago my old sound card fried (don't know the brand - got it from a friend, and I've already thrown it out). I replaced it with a Sound Blaster Li've! 24-Bit. However, using the same configuration (receiver into line-in on card), when I record now the volume level that it records at is way too low. Even when I set the line-in level at 00% the volume that it records at is not even half the level it was with my old sound card set at 20%. Basically, when I record now at 00% on the line-in, the volume level it records at is too low. I have no problem with the line-out level - when I play mp3's or anything else on my hard dri've the volume is crisp, clear, and plenty loud at 40%.
    But what is the deal with the low volume recording level? Is there another setting I need to change? Or do I not have the right sound card to do this with? Please let me know if it is a setting issue, or if I just need a different sound card to do this. Thanks.

    I've had an Audigy2-nx for a week and have struggled with low
    recording levels as well.
    Have you tried selecting "what you hear" instead of "Line-In"?
    This gives me about 20% higher input levels.
    I gave up on MedeaSource for variable bitrate recordings and
    moved to dbPowerAmp. (direct recording to lame-mp3)
    Others here mention good VBR recordings with MedeaSource, but
    it won't exceed 90kbs (average) on my system.
    I'm finally getting decent recordings from line-in.

  • Tecra S11 - Low sound level

    I have recently purchased an S11 and as a previous owner of the Tecra line I was quite disappointed in the Audio level. I realize that the S11 is a Business machine and not a multimedia machine, but I have to sit very close and make sure there is no noise in the room to hear the on board speakers.
    Is there a way to overcome this? Even 50% more audio would be a tremendous improvement.

    Hi Pman,
    Im not a Tecra S11 owner but I cant imagine that the sound level is so low as you described.
    What program you use for listening music?
    What kind of files you have more music?
    What operating system you have?
    I can recommend the multimedia player VLC media player. Thats a freeware tool which is really great and play the most audio and vide files.
    Furthermore make also sure that you have highest sound level and try updating the sound driver.

  • AirTunes using Airport Express - Low sounds level in speakers

    Recently, I started having a problem with the sound level coming from the speakers connected to my Airport Express. The setup worked fine until a few weeks ago.
    Actions I have tried:
    (1) a hard reset of the Airport Express - no improvement
    (2) connecting speakers directly to laptop - sounds level was great
    Software I'm using:
    - iTunes v7.1.1.5
    - Airport Express Firmware v6.2
    Thank you in advance for any help.

    I suggest that you upgrade your AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) firmware to version 6.3.

  • [SOLVED] Very low sound level after installing kernel26-2.6.30

    I can't see this issue anywhere, so I'm sorry if I duplicate it here.
    Since the upgrade to 2.6.30, the sound on my desktop system (VIA P4M890) is very low.  (I also have a Thinkpad with an Intel GM45 chipset, and this is working like a charm.)
    I'm using a very simple ALSA configuration.  There is sound, but it is just almost inaudible.  I've set the highest possible level in alsamixer and when I turn up the volume to the maximum, I can hear sound.  But it is very weak and not very clear.  It's not related to hardware failure: rolling back to 2.6.29 fixes the problem.
    Did anyone detect the same issue?

    Alright mate, thanks.  Let me try that.
    In fact, I didn't have that new channel, but I set the VIA DXS mixers to 100% (like described here: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Via) and now everything is working.
    Great!

  • How do I lower sound file volume during video play?

    I have a Flash CS4 project with sound that starts to play in the first scene, set to event/loop so that it plays all through the entire time.
    But I have a piece of video with audio in another scene and I would like to have the sound file playing at a lower volume while the video is playing, then get it to return to normal volume when the video is over.
    I have no actionscript at this point. Just timeline animations, etc.
    Anyone  have an idea how I could accomplish this?
    Thanks!

    Thank you for this, but unfortunately, I don't think this quite does what I am aiming for.
    1) Now the file is in AS3.
    2) I have one audio file making background music throughout the entire file.
    3) The video comes in at a later scene.
    4) I want to lower the volume of the background music file while the video is playing, then get it to normal volume after the video.
    Thanks for your help.

  • How to identify low volume/level audio segments in a recording?

    Iam newbie to Audition and trying to edit/master a 2 hour long lecture done in a live setting (not studio). Since the speaker sometimes moves away from the microphone the level of the audio sometimes falls off or reduces sometimes for a few seconds to a few minutes. I would like to identify all segments greater than 5 seconds which fall below say -5db.
    I have tried using Diagnostics >>Effect : Mark Audio and set a Custom setting. I defined Silence has : Signal is below -5 dB, For more than 5000 ms (5 seconds) and Define Audio has Signal is above -15dB for more than 27 ms. It works to some extent in the sense it marks the Proper Audio segments in between the segments that are between the segments that are identified/marked as Silence but I would like the opposite. I would like to get the segments which are defined as Silence to be marked.
    I am sure it is possible to do in Audition, appreciate all your help in figuring out how to do it.
    To do the same in Audacity is very straightforward, Go to Analyze >> Silence Finder and define Treat audio below this level as silence : -5dB, Minimum duration of silence : 5 seconds. Thats it. That easy.
    Would appreciate help from all the masters in the forum. Thank you for your time in advance.

    Is what you are going to do when you have identified these sections to raise the volume. That can be done automatically without previously identifying them by using the Dynamic Processing or Speech Volume Leveling effects.

    I have narrowed it down a little more. It is only when I am connected to my wireless network. I can have Wi-Fi enabled, and connected to the internet via a mobile internet connection and there are no issues.
    When I am connected via the router, I have this issue. You could say it is the router, however I have various other machines connected to the same router, without issue.
    So, to clarify.
    WiFi on - not connected to internet via router, however connect by other means - All ok

  • Sound levels

    Hi!
    I have a movie of a group of singers at an event. The event sound levels were set up for speaking and there was a direct XLR feed into the camera. When all five of them are singing it's very distorted .... is there anyway to adjust this in iMovie? I've turned down the sound level, but of course this doesn't help much with the distortion.
    Thanks!
    JC

    XLR feeds have - to my knowledge - a much higher signal then the average, consumer line-out…
    most consumer cameras don't have a "from tape/behind tapehead" audio control; it doesn't play while recording what's on tape, but just the input. this way, you can NOT control the final result… for sure, the XLR signal was fine… but too much for your camera… next time, you need to make a short test-recording, rew, then play + listen.
    in QTpro, you have access to the 4 (6?) audio tracks, which are included in a dv-stream… apple-j/audio/track selection allows to play around with seperate tracks, with a very little chance, you could lower the distorted tracks and "find" a less distorted one (as from mic)… but, as said, very little chance…
    no "restauration" known to repair "over exposure" in audio, sorry :-/

  • Sound levels for hearing impairment

    How can I increase sound levels of incoming calls?   I'm a bit deaf.

    Hmmm. . . .
    don't take my word as read, I usually master to DVD at -12db this seems to avoid the nasty volume surprise when you switch audio sources from broadcast tv to your dvd player.
    That said you would be surprised at the number of DVDs from top name movie houses that have -12db movies with 0db menus . . . talk about left hand (movie co.) doesn't know what the right hand (Yes geezer we make menus inc.) is doing.
    If you are suppling a DVD via a professional replication house do what I do and ask them for advice. My opinion says its more professional to ask than not (and yes I realise thats what you are doing here . . . . )
