Is there a way to lower the volume on imported audio?

i've just finished the visuals for a movie i'm making for my family and would like to have some music playing under the visuals, some of which are movie clips and othersare photos. i'd like to be able to have the music lowered so that when the talking clips are on, you can hear the talking and not have it drowned out by the music underneath. is this possible?

J Keller is correct, but be sure that you have the 'show clip volume levels' selected so you can raise and lower the volume level at the point you wish to make those changes. The selection is under 'view' in the top menu bar. If you have any audio clips that have a bit of silence at the beginning, you might also wish to 'show audio wave forms' so that you can see exactly where the sound actually begins. The wave forms are only for audio tracks, but the volume levels can be adjusted within the video clips as well. This works out well if you need to raise the volume to hear the talking, as well as lowering the volume of the music.

  • Is there a way to lower the volume on the themes with a soundtrack?

    Hi,
    Is there a way to lower the volume on the themes with soundtracks? The volume of my video is lower than the soundtrack on the theme.
    Thank you

    Which version of iDVD are you using? I see this is posted in the IDVD4 forum.
    I have 6. Clicking the "Menu" button at the bottom of the window brings up a dialogue where you can adjust the Loop Duration and Menu Volume. Is that what you are looking for?

  • Is there a way to boost the volume on an IPhone 3G

    Is there a way to boost the volume on my IPhone 3GS?

    I'm guessing you mean a way, other than pressing the volume UP button on the headphones cable...   Also, are you saying that the maximum volume (using the volume button) is not loud enough?  If so...
    I don't have the 3G iPod shuffle, but there is probably a Limit Maximum Volume setting, and it may currently be set lower than you want.  With the iPod shuffle selected in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES), go to the Settings or Summary tab (over to the right).  See if there is control there for limiting the maximum volume on the shuffle.  If so, disable it or set it to the desired max loudness.  Apply the change.

  • IS THERE A WAY OF INCREASING THE VOLUME ON A USB DOWNLOADED WITH I TUNES? WHEN I PLAY MUSIC FROM IT IN MY BMW IT IS NOT VERY LOUD.

    IS THERE A WAY OF INCREASING THE VOLUME ON A THUMB DRIVE DOWNLOADED WITH ITUNES MUSIC? WHEN PLAYBACK ON BMW RADIO, EVEN WITH THE RADIO VOLUME AT MAX, MUSIC IS NOT VERY LOUD.

    Can't answer the query, since I don't use thumb drives and my volume's very responsive. That said, please don't post using ALL CAPS. That's considered shouting and is very disconcerting.

  • Is there any way to control the volume on my Apple TV?

    Here's the scenario: I have a small amplifier under my couch that controls the speakers connected to my Apple TV. When I use Airplay from my iPhone to listen to music, I'm able to control the volume right from the music App on my phone- this is perfect because I don't like to reach under the couch to change the volume. However, there are two scenarios when I cannot seem to adjust the volume anywhere except on the amp. These are:
    First: Using Airplay while playing a video from my MacBook Pro to the Apple TV. In this case, the volume slider in iTunes suddenly has a little lock icon on it and is unadjustable. Is there any way to unlock the volume?
    Second: When using the Apple TV directly to play any media- music or movies. The volume up and down buttons on the Apple TV don't control the volume. I'm forced to reach under the couch to adjust the volume- which happens quite frequently. Is there any way to control the output volume of the Apple TV?
    The lack of volume control has been super disappointing. I've been a (multiple) airport express user for years so kind of expected Airplay to work the same for video- with the ability to control the volume from whatever device was transmitting. Can anyone help me?

    Andrew- this is how I would expect things to work. However, when I use airplay from my iPhone to say, play a youtube video, the volume on the phone is suddenly rendered useless and I'm forced to adjust the amplifier. When I just play audio from the phone, the volume works.
    It's the same on my macbook pro. If I mirror the screen, my computer's volume affects the speakers volume. However, if I am in itunes and play a movie and use airplay for that, I get a lock on the volume. Is this a setting somewhere?

  • Is There A Way To Normalize The Volume Of My Library Without "Sound Check"?

    Is there a way to put the volume of my entire library at say, +1.0 dB? It's annoying to have music that's at -5.7 and then listen to something that's at +2.0 and constantly having to adjust the volume. I have Sound Check enabled on my iPod but it really doesn't do much at all. Does anyone know if I can basically highlight everything or something and normalize the volume of my entire library so that it's at a specific dB level? The Volume Adjustment doesn't allow for specific figures and would require me to do it track by track which at 23,000+ tracks would take me an obscene amount of time to do. Thanks
    EDIT: Have no idea why part of this is italicized it just did that by itself it seems.

    You are correct, many people have noticed over the years that Sound Check does not work as advertised.
    A more effective approach is to treat the files with a 3rd party volume normalization program. Although I have not personally used it, many users on this Forum have reported good results from an inexpensive program called iVolume.

  • Is there a way to change the IMG # before importing to iphoto

    I have a "new" I pad and want to import the photos that I have taken with it to IPhoto. The issue is one that I have had with I Photo before, I already have photos with the IMG_0001,IMG_0002, ect.... and they will mess up my library if I import them.
    Is there a way to change the File name for these images or does anyone know a work around that does not include creating a new library?
    Thanks

    No
    Suggest to Apple
    You can make a smart album based on camera to seperate photos

  • I have a ringtone that works great on my computer but the volume is very soft on the phone.  I have adjusted the volume on the phone but the ringtone volume is still too low.  Is there any way to adjust the volume of a ringtone?

    I have managed to sync a ringtone to my ne i phone 5C but the volume is way too soft.
    The sound is great on my computer but hard to hear at all on the phone.  I have tried turning up the volume button on the phone but it doesn' do anything for the ringtone.  Any ideas on how to solve this problem.  The ringtone is "calypso blackberry" and I am not able to locate it in the Apple store ringtones.  This should be so simple and it is making me nuts.
    Help anyone please.

    So you use an RCA cable going into what before it hits the MBP?
    EDIT: Also in System Preferences > Sound > Input > you can select the input & adjust the volume accordingly as long as it's plugged in.

  • Is there a way to adjust the volume on all clips so they all have the same volume?

    I'm making a highlight film of my two children, and wonder if there is a way to make all clips have the same volume. I know I can adjust the individual clips decibel niveau, but ven though I adjust them to the same level i.e -6 decibel, the clips volume are not the same. Any suggestion, or do I have to adjust each clip with different decibels niveaus and try to make the volume the same, like one clip can have -6 decibel, one light have 3 decibel and so on in order for the volume to be Aamodt the same.

    On the Time Line you can copy the clip (Command-c) that has the levels you want. Select the other clips and hit Shift+Command-V to paste effects. Check the Audio attributes.

  • Is there any way to increase the volume beyond maximum volume?

    Is there any way I can increase the volume on the internal speaker on my MAC Pro Tower beyond what it is at maximum volume? 
    Thank you.

    Depending on what you're trying to do, there are a few solutions.
    If you're just using the machine normally & playing games, etc, then get some amplified speakers, or if you have a stereo system available at your work/home you can get an adapter cable that will let you run from the line out of the Mac Pro to the input jack on your stereo.
    If you're looking to so more serious audio production, then look for an audio interface.  Companies like M-Audio, MotU (Mark Of The Unicorn), Akai Pro, and Apogee (among others) make some great devices that connect via USB or Firewire, and will offer better sound out, which you can then connect either to an amplifier, studio monitors, or even PA gear.

  • HT1349 When I download music (from both Itunes and my own c.d.'s)  and then play them back, the volume is different on some songs.  Is there some way to regulate the volume so that it is the same for all?

    Can anyone help me with the above question?  I like to make up cd's of all time favorite songs, but the volume changes too much.  Is there anything I can do in order to get even sound? Thanks.

    That's what iTunes -> Preferences -> Playback -> Sound Check does - equalizes the volume across tracks to provide a more-even playback.

  • Is there a way to save the volume level in Win 7

    When I go to any web site and play a flash video the sound is very loud. I go into the control panel (Windows 7) and into "adjust system volume." There is a slider for firefox and flash player. The firefox slider has no affect on the volume, but the flash player slider does. The problem is that windows or flash player does not save that level. When I play another video later, I have to go in and adjust the sound level again.  Why won't it save the level like to other sliders do? Anyone?
