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.

  • Lower volume level on Auxiliary that Airtunes is playing thru

    Anyone got any advice here? I have airtunes working on my Bose stereo from both computers in my house. When I play it, however, it is at a noticeably lower volume level than that of the CD or even FM radio. Volume on iTunes is at the max.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Chris

    Which input are you using on the Bose stereo? You should be using a line level input (for example "Tape In"). A phonograph input expects a much different signal and won't work properly.

  • How do I lower or compress audio for ALL clips?

    I'm early in this so bear with me...How do I lower the volume for all the clips at once or at least compress it and set a limit of how loud the volume can get to? Thanks much!

    To adjust the gain for a group of clips, select (highlight) all the clips to be adjusted then go to Modify->Levels. The adjustment window will open where you can make either an "absolute" or "relative" adjustment (+ or -)
    To add a Compressor/Limiter or Dynamic Processor filter, drag it to one clip then load that clip into the Viewer to make adjustments to the filter. Once you have the settings where you want them, copy that clip in the Timeline (Command c). Now select (highlight) all remaining clips to which you want the filter applied. Right-click on one and select Paste Attributes. When the attributes window opens, click the Filters button on the audio side.

  • How do you export a specific audio segment in timeline

    I recently tried to reduce noise from a specific clip by exporting a short segment of my audio to create a file I can use with audacity. I ended up exporting the entire audio segment of the project.
    How can I select a specific clip segment that is only a part of the video and export it to create a file I can then edit using audacity?
    I would like to avoid exporting the entire event clip from which that segment came. I have done considerable editing of the original video footage in the event and trying to figure out where that segment came from would require a considerable amount of time.
    Any help or guidance is appreciated.

    in fcpx 10.0.6, if you have a range selection, the export will be only that segment.
    Hold down the R key and click-drag a range selection, or use the playhead to mark In ('i' key) and Out ('o' key) points.
    Select Share > Export File
    In the dialog, select Settings
    For Format: Audio Only
    Audio File Format: I recommend AIFF, CAF or WAVE (depending on your target audio editor.) [AAC, AC3, and MP3 are "delivery" formats, not editing formats.]
    then hit Next and save it.
    I recommend setting a marker at the in point so you can easily line up the edited audio when you re-import it.

  • How can I lower volume of the beep soud?

    I have a T400, every time I unplug the power cable or close the lid, the beed soud from the computer is too loud. How can i lower the volume?

    I don't know if you can actually lower the volume, but you can turn the beep off completely.
    Go into Power Manager (double click the plug or battery icon in the tray). Click the  "Global Power Settings" tab. Uncheck the "Beep when power state changes" box. Click "Apply" then "Close."
    There you go.

    Hi
    First of all you should not compare the sound level of the speakers with other speakers built in multimedia notebook.
    As far as I know the notebook has been equipped with common stereo speaker as you can see here:
    http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/products/computers/satellite/c665/psc55a-013008/specifications#details
    This are not Harman Kardon speakers which are used in much expensive multimedia notebooks.
    At the other hand you should also check the sound settings in control panel -> sound
    You can click right on the playback tab to see if all sound level controls are set to the highest level.
    But listen: my notebooks internal speakers are also not really loud but I use external sound speakers from Logitech to get a nice sound while gaming.
    Would recommend using such external sound system.

  • How can a consistent volume level be set for all the songs in an iTunes library?

    The volume of the songs in my iTunes library varies significantly when played on my iPod.  Is there any way of setting a consistent/equal volume for the songs in my library so that I don't have to change the volume level when listening to my iPod?

    I have used the $30 iVolume utility to equalize my iTunes song's volume for several years and it works well. I just wish it worked for music videos.  iVolume is available on the Mac  App Store, or you can try before you buy at the developer's site: http://www.mani.de/en/ivolume/index.html

  • Trouble with snoowball usb mic  in GB3....low volume levels or bad clipping

    I have rebooted the computer several times. This usb mic has no driver software and was working fine until I got a audio core driver message of some sort.
    Any pointers?

    dollarblower,
    If it's not the Snowball, then I'm not sure.
    You can give the following a try; I don't know if it will help you, but it won't hurt you, and it often solves weird issues in GB:
    Use Disk Utility to repair your system permissions (/Applications/Utilities);
    Then, trash your GarageBand Preference files (don't worry, it will replace them; you can reset any prefs to what they were in the app)
    Search for the two files:
    com.apple.garageband.cs -and-
    com.apple.garageband.plist
    and discard them.
    (Normally, they are in /Library/Preferences/ or in user/Library/Preferences/
    but do a search to make sure you get all the copies.)
