How to add bass to sound

Just got this macbook, and i'm not impressed
How do i add bass to the sound? The sound quality is terrible and gives me a headache. I tried looking on the app store but its not free.
On my pc, it's built in

Your expectation of sound quality will never be realized simply due to the physical constraints of the speakers in the MBA.  The speaker should be viewed as strictly utilitarian.  If you want good sound, attach quality external speakers or quality earphones.  Those are your only realistic choices.

  • How to add new alert sounds to Sound Effects in Sys. Prefs

    I'd like to add a sound (it's in MP3) to the Sound Effects in System Preferences. How do I do this?

    Hi Craig, if it isn't playing in the actual folder then something went wrong in your conversion. Exactly how did you do the conversion? And how did you get it out of iTunes (if that is what you used for the conversion) to use it as a sound effect?
    I have a one second piano chord in mp3 stashed away in a sound collection folder. I double click it and it opens in iTunes. I then go to iTunes Preferences, click on Advanced, then click the Importing tab, and change "Import Using" to "AIFF Encoder" (my default is MP3 Encoder) and click the OK button. Go back to the regular iTunes window and select your mp3 file, then go up to the Advanced menu and select "Convert Selection to AIFF"--it should convert it very quickly. Grab the new aif file and drag out of iTunes window onto the Desktop. Do GetInfo on it and change the extension to .aiff (iTunes exports it plain name.aif). While you are in GetInfo verify that it plays in the Preview section. Now add it to the /System/Library/Sounds folder. Oh, and remove the one that doesn't work. You'll have to authenticate to do that too.

  • How to add sounds to Garageband on the ipad2?

    I was wondering how to add sound libraries to the ipad2. I am looking to use the ipad2 as a sound module so when I plug it up to my keyboard I can play any sound I want. I got the idea from a Jamal Hartwell Video.

    Tap on the Spanner icon, tap on Share and Print, Tap on Print.
    You will also need to have an Air-Print enabled printer and both the printer and ipad must be connected to the same network.  If your printer isn`t Air-Print enabled then there is a work-a-round but you will have to use google to obtain the files and instructions, do a search on google for Air-Print for PC or Air-Print for Mac.
    To save a document in Pages for iPad just tap on Documents to take you back to your list of documents and the one you are currently working on will automatically save, you can then tap on the documents name to change it.

  • How to add a sound on some slides?

    How to add a sound on some slides? Not only one slide and not all the slideshow?
    Is it possible? It must be!

    Keynote is not Powerpoint and vice versa. The way music is currently handled in Keynote has been explained. If you wish music to play across only a few contiguous slides, you make them a seperate file and hyperlink to them using an object for the hyperlink.
    Once built, and properly used, the transition from one set of slides to the next set is smooth and the audience will not know (or care) if there is one, two or fifty hyperlinked files behind the curtain. What they see is the content, the message and the effective use of a visuals to backup your actual live presentation. The files you create are not the presentation, you and all you bring to the audience are the presentation.  You are simply using a tool to assist youself to help your audience better understand your message.
    Using Keynote is found by many presenters to be an easier application to use. If you find Powerpoint easier, by all means use it. Your message will be basically the same to your audience, if done properly.
    Feedback is a good way to ask for changes but given the rate of change, learning those few simple workarounds and using them effectively will help you use Keynote (or Powerpoint - yes there are limitations there too) to easily put your point across. Your audience will sense your frustrations as a distraction so it is better to accept the few limitations and make your presentation shine in spite of them.
    Good luck.

    That's the wrong file path. You want to go to the artwork and effects palette, find the layer styles section, and choose your style there.

  • How can I improve my sound for around $300 - $500

    My simple setup is this...
    iMac G5
    Presonus FireBox preamp / interface
    Rode NT1-A condencer mic
    Audio Technica AT2020 condencer mic
    Sure SM57 dynamic mic
    monitor w/ my home stereo system with Cambridge SoundWorks
    Classic Series Model Six Two-Way Bookshelf Speakers (8inch woofers)
    I record acoustic guitar with the condencer mics and electric guitar with my 70s Fender Princeton amp, clean with the condencer mics and if I am using a overdrivesound on the guitar I often use the SM57 mic.
    I only record guitar and bass guitar, no vocals. I use the built-in soft synths and loops in LE as well.
    So, as you can see this is a "low end" budget system.
    Over the July 4th weekend I had the pleasure of recording with a Jazz quartet at a very high end studio in New York City. The owner (an old friend of mine) had serious gear (Neve mixing board, about 10 qute old Neumann mics, tons of old analog tube outboad gear (compressors, preamps etc..). He had both Pro Tools and a 24 track tape machine. Our budget for the recording was low so we recorded on to Pro Tools.
    The sound was great to say the least.
    My question to you all is........
    With my limite finances, where should I spent next on my gear.
    -Real Monitor Speakers instead of my home stereo system? (I was thinking of powered monitors perhaps)
    -Some type of outboard gear? (channel strip, mic preamp, compressor) Are the preamps in the FireBox good enough for my level? I notice that ART and Berhinger have low cost outboard gear. Would they help?
    -A better mic?
    -What abouit a small mixer to perhaps run some outboard gear through or run LE through to perhaps warm up the sound a bit?
    Generally I have been quite pleased with the guitar sounds I get at the moment with the above equipment. But when I saw all the gear at the big studio I started thinking about what little improvements I might be able to make in my setup. My friend who owned the studio in NYC did make use of lots of the outboad gear.
    I've been reading several articles on the Tweekheadz site.
    http://www.tweakheadz.com/
    And I've been learning how to get a good sound with what I have.
    Thanks for your help,

    Definitely monitors. It doesn't matter how
    well your room is tuned, nor what kind of mics or
    mixer you have, if the actual speakers are not up to
    par. If your speakers are putting out inaccurate
    sound, then you'll never get a good mix. Not to say
    that a well-tuned room isn't well worth the price.
    I'm just saying that if you have to choose one or the
    other, go with the monitors. Then, when your budget
    allows, tune your room, or get Neumanns, or
    whatever.
    But, get powered speakers, so that you don't have to
    put the signal through a crappy amp before it gets to
    the speakers.
    For under $500, I'd probably suggest the
    M
    ackie HR624. Sweetwater is listing them
    her
    e for $449.99. They're good speakers for the
    price, they're powered, and they'll definitely give
    you a more accurate picture of what you're doing than
    a home stereo system, which is build more for
    "excitement" than studio accuracy.
    Edited to add: P.S., if you can afford an extra $150,
    I'd recommend stepping up to the Mackie HR824, which
    is a little bit bigger speaker. Sweetwater sells them
    for a little over $600.00
    Wow, I couldn't disagree more. I'll take a good room before half-as*ed monitors any day.
    Monitors are CRUCIAL for good mixes, so I would save my money and get something that will last me for 20 years or more. Don't skimp on analog components (preamps). Don't buy cheap transducers (mics, speakers).
    A $500 input into most rooms will make a world of difference, and will improve the music SO much more than a pair of HR624s, which, while not a bad set of speakers by any means, are not something I'd consider as my "20 year" set of monitors. By contrast, those MiniTraps will ALWAYS be useful.

  • How to add a gradient or 50% transparent fill to an .ai imported path?

    Hello All;
    I need some help. My task sounds simple enough but not sure how to accomplish it.
    I created the following path in Illustrator (See attached illustration - the top one). This is actually for a lower-third graphic.
    I have been successful at importating that into .ai. Though should I be using a solid or a shape layer or doesn't it matter ?
    I can add a stroke which affects the color and thickness of the outlines OK.
    However, I can't figure out how to add either a gradient fill or one that is 50% transparent ? Can anyone help ?
    Oh ... I'll mention I'm using After Effects CS3.
    Thanks.
    Tim

    Rick;
    I've used Illustrator for quite a while both at home and at work but I really havn't had to do anything that complex yet. Same goes for Photoshop. I bought DVD tutorials for most of the productivity software I use and when you gave your first explanation, I watched the DVD tutorial on Importing into AE so I know what you're referring to when you say to import as composition. So far, I've only tried to import into AE by copying and pasting. I think that's why I just got the path and not the background. I'll try importing a composition shortly and see if I get the fill too. I actually found a tutorial on making the type of shape I need to in Photoshop so maybe I'll try that instead of Illustrator and then import that into AE.
    Btw - It may not actually be a gradient fill I need to use but instead a solid fill with the top half lighter and buttom half darker.
    In case you're interested, here's actually what I'm trying to create for a video project. I could actually buy the animation for $8 but I figured that this can't be that difficult and I need to learn this stuff anyway ... http://videohive.net/item/lower-third-15-different-colour-schemes/145337?WT.ac=category_th umb&WT.seg_1=category_thumb&WT.z_author=berol

  • SQL Server Distributed Partitioning Views how to add a new node online

    We are using distributed partitioning views in SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition for scaling out our data across more than one servers. Now we faced to question how to add a new node (server) into the scale outed db servers system without sending the servers
    down, so our users will be able to use them during the process as well.
    For example we have 4 servers with scaled out data. When we add the new empty server, the CHECKINGs for the partitioning columns should be reorganized. But during the process the partitioning views are not working.
    The High Availability, Always On or Failover Cluster approaches seem are not resolve the problems.
    So my question is how to add new node online?
    KH

    Thank you Erland for the reply.
    Yes, it's sounds as possible solution but has some not resolvable nuance in it. Let's say we copied some data from Node5 to new added Node6. Let's assume in Node5 we had data in Table1 with partitioning column's values 100,101,102,103,104,105,106.  Now
    we want to copy part of the rows with partitioning column's values 103,104,105,106 from Node5.Table1 into Node6.Table1. With this Node5 will contain less data and will work more quickly (less IO, less CPU usage etc), and the rest data will be contained on
    Node6. But because of Node5 is already in use, the Node5.Table1 contains CHECK CONSTRAINT = ParttionColumn should be from 100 up to 106. This is check for Node5. The Distributed Partitioning Views are already using the CHECKs to identify what server should
    be used to get data from.
    Now when we copied part of the Node5.Table1 rows to Node6.Table1 the views are still using the 103-106 rows from Node5.Table1 because the CHECK points there. Then we include the newest Node6.Table1 in the distributed partitioning views. OK, but we should
    set some CHECK on new Node6.Table1 which will be used by views. We can't set intersecting checking like Node5 has CHECK 100-106 and Node6 has CHECK 103-106. We also can't edit Node5 check and set it 100-102 untill the data will be removed in it. But this means
    that the data will not be available during the execution. 
    So, any ideas ?
    KH

  • Can't add songs or sound effects

    Until a few days ago, I was able to drag and drop tracks I'd purchased on iTunes into my iMovie projects.  Now, even royalty-free music tracks are not playable once I import them into iMovie.
    What has happened?  These videos are for my own personal use, and I do not sell them to anyone. How may I use the tracks in good faith that I've purchased?
    Thank you so much.

    UPDATE: Now it appears that I *can* add music and sound effects as long as there is no overlap.  This is different.  How can I *layer* audio tracks on top of one another in iMovie the way I used to be able to do? 
    I can't imagine Apple would have changed this critical component of editing overnight for no good reason.  What say you? 

  • HT3576 how to assigne a unique sound to a single incoming e mail address and have it aleart when in lock screen 4s Iphone 6.13

    how to assign a unique sound to a single incoming e mail address and have it alert when in lock screen on 4s Iphone 6.1.3
    I receive emergency requests for service thru e mails. my old BB let you assign separate sounds for incoming e mail addresses. can I duplicate that with Iphone or MUST I be woken with each and every incoming e mail?

    I have email messages alert sounds turned off except for VIP addresses (of which I have only one). That means I only get alerted for that one address.
    To add a Contacts entry to VIP senders in iPhone Mail:
    Open your list of mailboxes in iPhone Mail.
    Tap the > button next to VIP.
    Select Add VIP… at the list's end.
    Tap the desired entry from your contacts.
    Then, in Notifications>Mail, turn off the souds for your email account but enable them for VIP.
    Note that all VIP emails will have the same tone. It's more like the Priority feature on a BB than custom text tones.
    Best of luck.

  • How do you you get sound to TV when showing a movie from Netflicks using HDMI

    When I'm looking at a movie downloaded from Netflicks using the new HDMI cable from my MacBook Pro, the picture shows fine, but the sound stays with the computer. How do you get the sound from MacBook to HDTV?

    to: MartinR
    Thanks for the response. Here's the answers to your questions. I have a new MacBook Pro with Retnia display (13") late 2012 model, so it's solid state, love the unit, maybe my 10th Mac/Apple. It comes with a HDMI outlet, so I bought a 6' HDMI 19 pin cable. The TV is a new Vizio 39" that has a side mount HDMI imput plug. I tried it through this and through the main HDMI by removing the Comcast box. Both work the same, excellent HD projection, no sound. I even tried using a jack from the headphone outlet to the red and white sound imputs on the TV and that won't add sound. So that doesn't seem to be the solution. I ended up using an iPod portable sound system, but the whole thing is a lot of wires and junk to watch a movie. I thought maybe there is something I need to turn on first. I was just sure the sound should be carried on the HDMI cable and not need seperate output leads.

  • How to add picture in garageband 10.2?

    Hi, I've just updated my garagaband to a new 10.0.2 version and I cant seem to find a photo option in the media browser, they have videos and music but no photos? Also where is their podcast setting option.
    Im running a mac os 10.9.2 system.
    Can anyone let me know how to add/ insert pictures in to a podcast on the new 10.0.2 garagaband version?
    Thank you.

    The new GarageBAnd does no longer support podcast, only sound tracks.
    You can import a video to create a soundtrack for the video and later write the audio to the video. But you cannot any longer add still frames and export a podcast with a photo thumbnail.
    Continue to use your GarageBand '11 for podcast creation. If you did not delete it, when you upgraded to GarageBand 10, your old GarageBAnd '11 will still e in a subfolder of Applications waiting for you.
