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 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 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 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?

    Hi Gilad
    Thanks for the reply
    I'm not sure how to create an action I have Acrobat Pro 8.

  • Is there a way to use the preview in browser function without an Internet connection?

    This morning our cable modem was down and I was making some changes to a page in a Muse site I'm designing. I wanted to preview the changes in a browser, but when I clicked on the Preview button (or clicked on preview in browser), I received a notification that it was checking for an Internet connection and the preview page never completed. Is there a way to use the preview in browser function in Muse without an Internet connection?

    Thanks for getting back to me! When our cable modem went down, we were still connected to Airport Base Station, and perhaps it appeared to Muse that we did have an Internet connection. In any case, we have now received a new cable modem and our network is working again. As you suggested, I disconnected from the network and tried preview in Muse again, and now it seems to be working just fine. Perhaps it was just the circumstances of our network problem this morning. Good to know I can use the Muse Preview function off-line!

  • I duplicated all the pictures in my library. Is there any way to delete the duplicates at one time without going and deleting them one by one

    I duplicated all my pictures. Is there any way to delete the duplicates without deleting them one at a time. I now have 44,000 pictures and have 22,000 duplicates

    Easiest solution: restore from your back up.
    Other than that: For dealing with duplicates in iPhoto check out Duplicate Annihilator or Decloner

  • 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.

  • 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.
    Bob

    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.
