ITunes 12 Volume

After upgrade to OS-X and latest iTunes, my iTunes song volume is significantly reduced--even with system volume at maximum. Anyone having similar problems? Thanks.

Disregard previous post; the upgrade to OS X reset volume output to USB display vice "line out" for my external Bose speaker system. Set sound to line out; All is ok.

When I send project to iTunes the volume is too low. I have auto normalize checked.

When I save project to itunes the volume is too low on the entire project. I have auto normalize checked. I have been sure to reduce the volumes below the red clipping dots. This includes the master volume. It is fine in GB, but in itunes I need to increase the volume slider to max to bring it up to what I was hearing in GB. Is sthere something else I should do to reproduce more volume when I share a project to itunes? Thank you.

DId you try a comparioson when exporting the same song with and without "Auto Normaize".
Technically there is the possibility that "Auto Normilize" will reduce the overall level of your final mix. If there is a short spike above 0dB that you don't hear as an audible pop and GarageBand brings down the overall level to that that spike to 0dBFS, and by doing so, lowering that level of your mix by that amount.
Hope that helps

Il-Logic-al: When I share to iTunes, the volume drops.

I've been recording tracks in Logic Pro X, and when I play them it's nice and loud. But when I share I share to iTunes, the volume is very low, about half the volume of a typical iTunes song. How can I keep the volume up?

Turn OFF Normalize in the bounce dialog.

IPod/iTunes Sound Volume problems

I listen to my iPod Mini on my car radio, and used to enjoy turning the music up loud sometimes. Now I cannot GET it loud, even though I have the volume on my radio and iPod set to the maximum. For audiobooks, I can no longer hear the words clearly over the sounds of traffic. The volume on the iPod used to match the volume of the radio. Now it doesn't -- if I should flip to the radio without lowering the volume, I get hit with a blast of sound.
I think I might have done something in iTunes that is causing this. I cut off Sound Check and the equalizer. I also raised the volume using the Get Info options. It doesn't seem to have made any difference for the iPod when I updated. I still can't hear it very well through my tape adapter on the car radio.
Have I done anything mentioned above to cause or fix this problem? If so, do I need to delete everything from the iPod and re-load it?

Gary,
There is a lot I don't know yet, but I definitely managed to raise the volume by cutting off the sound check and the equalizer when importing new stuff. As a test, I can now hear the words in an audiobook, although the volume is still on maximum for my iPod and car tape player. Unfortunately the old stuff still sounds too faint. (Is this iPod actually updating?)
There is a problem with my car tape player. I haven't bought a head cleaning kit yet, but plan to do so. I connected an FM transmitter and tested the sound -- it was a lot louder. (In my area, I cannot use an FM transmitter in the city because of FM interference. No empty stations. So I either need earphones or to make the tape player work. Or a new car
I don't know yet whether it's the Sound Check or Equalizer that makes the difference. I don't think I ever used Sound Enhancer.
You can raise the volume by selecting songs, going to "Get Info" and resetting the volume bar. This seems to make it louder on the Mac speakers. I cannot tell that anything is getting through to the iPod -- I simply don't hear it yet.
I don't know yet if importing when using Sound Check does anything permanent to the volume of the song. I hope not.

Problems exporting GB2 songs to iTunes/equalizing volume

I’m posting this in both GB and iTunes becuase I don’t know where the problems lies.
1) I’ve exported five tunes I created in GB2.
a) Average length of song is about 3 minutes;
b) Volume settings were pretty much the same. I deliberately set them as close as I could. Especially the Master volume;
c) Average composition of songs is: 3-4 green (MIDI) tracks and 2 or 3 blue (Digital or “real” instrument tracks;
d) All volume settings in iTunes were the same.
When I exported them to iTunes, they were all “Bounced.” To the best I could observe...difficult because the little window just flashed a message under the “Bounced” message, reasons were “Unknown Album Artwork,” something about “Volume,” and another reason I coundn’t decifer.
However,
It appeared iTunes really did accept these songs. They were listed as “Bounced,” “Bounced 2,” “Bounced 3,” etc.
When I played them back, they sounded alright. So, I typed in the acutal name of the songs (By deleting “Bounced” and typing) and put them into the playlist I wanted.
When finished, burned a CD. However, the audio volume of the songs did not equalize. I did, indeed, ensure that the “check volume” button was checked in iTunes. But when I played back from the CD, volume levels were clearly not equalized. (I know iTunes will not perfectly “equalize,” but these are obviously out of whack.
Bottom line: It is going to be very difficult to burn a CD with volume levels for every song jumping all over the place.
What’s wrong and how do I remedy this?
Addendum: I have an iPOD mini. When I play songs from any given playlist, volume is also a problem. One song is at a given level, the next much louder, another much softer.

When I share a garageband file to itunes the volume is way too soft.

I don't know what I did. Suddenly everything I export to iTunes comes out way too soft compared to files I have exported before. My master volume seems to be set right, it plays loud enough in GB, my export settings are set to Auto Normalize, compression is on, my volume in iTunes is turned up - I'm at a loss here. Please help!

Where has my iTunes mini volume slider gone?

I have iTunes 11.0.4 on my Macbook. I use the mini box all the time, and until today, a slider would appear in the 11.0.4 mini box if I ran the cursor over it. (Not, in my opinion, an improvement over the previous version, where it was visible all the time, but oh, well.)
Today I opened iTunes and the volume slider in the mini was gone. Can anyone tell me how to get it back without wasting time going to the regular iTunes window (or having to adjust the volume on my computer)?
I found a thread from December, 2012 complaining about the missing volume slider and asking why Apple would do such a dumb thing. But that would be so dumb, so totally unnecessary, and such an inconvenience to so many people that I can't believe Apple would do such a thing, or at least fail to get it patched by now, 7 months later. (Tell us it ain't so, Apple.)
Besides, it was there yesterday, and I haven't updated anything in the last 24 hours. Anyone know where my slider might have gone to? Thanks!!

ITunes says volume tuned all the way down - no iTunes sound!

Today iTunes pops up a notification saying 'iTunes volume turned all the way down'. The speakers are on, volume is up. All other media play fine - but there is no sound if I try and play anything through iTunes!
I've never had this problem before.
I downloaded iTunes again, restarted my Mac and still, same problem. Any ideas? Thanks!

FYI, I can't say for sure this will fix your prob, but reinstalling an app on a Mac does NOT re-do the Preferences file, so if the Prefs are wonky, the reinstall will make no difference.
*Renewing the Prefs*
with iTunes not running, move the file Users>YourAccountName>Library>Preferences>com.apple.iTunes.plist to the desktop
Launch iTunes (the app will automagically create a new prefs file)
If the prob is now fixed, move that prefs file to the Trash. There might be some personal settings in iTunes you will need to re-do.

Sharing to iTunes sometimes volume to high

Hello,
i'm working on a project for a language course where i record words and there translation. After cleaning up i export the pieces to iTunes. In most cases the result is good but out of the 54 recordings there are 2 recordings that go out to iTunes with a high volume (+18,5 db and +21db), they sound louder (the volume value i get from the info of that track in iTunes on the first tab). normaly it hangs between -1 and +8 db. I already unchecked the 'export with full intensity' checkbox in the advanced settings in garageband, but when i share the project the volume stays high. The master volume regulator is set to 0db.
any suggestions?
thanks
Marco

Hmm, I don't see volume data on any of the iTunes Get Info tabs.
Perhaps there's a preference in iTunes that's affecting the tracks, like the Soundcheck option under Playback.
Or go to the Options tab in Get Info and look at the Volume Adjustment or Equalizer Preset.

Itunes 7 Volume Control

My problem is whenever i try to lower the volume in Itunes 7 the sound becomes distorted and maybe even louder. I have tried the solutions posted in other boards about changing quicktimes settings but this does not help. I dont want to leave the volume at a hundred percent either. Any ideas would be helpful.

here's an idea- downgrade to iTunes 6.0.5
this won't be the first problem you run into with this iTunes 7 "update"

ITunes Burning Volume

Has anyone noticed a change in the volume when burning CDs in iTunes.

closer0,
Make sure "Sound Check" is not enabled in Edit->Preferences-> Advanced Tab -> Burning
Sound Check tries to equalize the volume throughout the songs. Sometimes this leads to decreased volume.
Hope this helps,

Ipad iTunes rental volume

Just rented my first movie on my iPad and the volume is too low even at the highest setting. The preview for the movie was plenty loud, but the rental is unwatchable. I've checked my volume settings on the iPad and it is set to the highest level.
Any ideas?

I see most responses to questions about low volume say "get powered speakers". But that seems like an incorrect response to your question. I don't expect great volume from the iPad and I am satisfied with the volume except when it comes to videos. With videos the volume is half or less what it is for everything else. If it was nighttime and I was trying to be quiet it might be loud enough but that's about it. The videos are normal loudness on my Macs but not on the iPad so I do not think it is an encoding issue. I think there is an issue with the iPad.

Songs on CD burned in iTunes have volume level issues

When I burn a playlist to a CD, some songs exhibit reduced vocals volume levels. When I play the CD on my home stereo system, the songs have greater bass response. It appears the burning process tries to level the music response within each song.

This article will explain why that is happening.

Disconnect between Itunes play volume and burned CD volumes

I have a 20-song playlist; when played from there in Itunes, the songs are nicely normaled. But when I burn CDs from the playlist, on playback on other CD players, some of the songs are absurdly louder than others. Changing EQ settings for those before burning the CD doesn't work; and I've had the same result whethet or not "Sound check" has been selected in Preferences.

Dennis,
Sound Check and EQ settings only affect playback in
iTunes. They will not affect how the song is burned
to CD.
Matt
Just to expand on this, SoundCheck is specifically designed to normalise playback from iTunes in direct playback. That's why it takes up CPU cycles and screws with your battery life if you're on a laptop.
To be honest, the best product for creating CDs that have a bit of craft attached to them is Roxio's Toast/Jam product. The Jam part allows adjustable gain on a track-by-track basis, or automated normalisation. The product also gives you complete control on crossfades and both Toast and Jam support CD-TEXT which is nice if you have a compatible head unit in the car or whatever.
That said, you may wish to try and see if altering the gain/eq in the individual tracks info (Click on a track, and CTRL+I or CMD+I depending on platform) follows through to a CD burn. I would check myself, but I've just used my last disc in the flat and I'm not going to the car till tomorrow morning.
