Keeping the volume when converting an AIFF file to MP3

Hello,
I use Garageband to make a podcast that I then send to iTunes. Within iTunes I get the name, artist, date etc. set, then I convert the AIFF to an MP3.
However, I have noticed that the volume of the converted MP3 file is significantly lower than the original AIFF. I have tried converting to AAC and the same applies.
The volume of the original AIFF seems perfect to me... How can I get the MP3 file to be at the same level when converting?
Thanks in advance...

The only thing I can think of is that you have Sound Check enableb and so it is lowering the volume when you convert to keep it the same as the rest of your library. Try turning it off.
It is also possible that having it off could cause the same problem, so if it is off, try turning it on and see what happens.
To check the status of Sound Check, go to the Playback tab in Preferences.

    How can I keep the formatting when converting from Word to pages?

    Use only formatting that is supported (in the same manner) in both applications. You'll need to find which that is through trial and error. Beyond those formatting options, you'll need to do some corrections, as Fruhulda suggests.

    Nothing much. Different formats.
    How to fix?
    Try editing the original file. Resample pics to a lower resolution, check out other graphics, check table borders (eliminate any dotted lines or borders), check font usage. When generating PDF, try Save As (instead of Print > Save As), although I don't expect that'll make much difference.
    Next, open the PDF in Preview, choose File > Save As, choose Format: PDF, Quartz Filterz: Reduce File Size. If that isn't enough, you can use ColorSync Utility to duplicate the Reduce File Size filter, and then edit it for a more aggressive size reduction. But keep in mind that size reduction means lower quality.

  • In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings.  Has anyone found a fix for this?

    In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings.  Has anyone found a fix for this?

    It shouldn't print each page as a separate job and
    each tab has a different name, so, even if it did, it
    ought to give the printouts the name of the tabs.
    It doesn't print each page as a separate job unless the orientation is different - that's the bug. And the name of the job is taken from the name of the window, not the name of the tabs. That's how every application works, which, I think, is why Excel allows the specific selection or the active sheets to be printed.
    Still, that does sound like a plausible explanation.
    However, even if presented with multiple prints with
    the same name, the spooler should print each one!
    The spooler does print each one - you can watch the spooler process the multiple jobs. I think, though, that they are being overwritten since all the jobs have the name of the window as the job title. And since this happens after the Save Dialog is presented, there's really nothing the application can do. To Excel, it's one job, the multiple orientations don't matter; it's just that Apple doesn't handle it correctly.
    As a workaround, you can print the selections one at a time and give them unique names and then rejoin them in one PDF file.

  • I'm having trouble converting my RAW files to jpegs. Even though my RAW files are 90MB plus, the jpegs when converted are only around 6MB.  Am I doing something wrong?  Thanks,  A

    Dear Forum,
    I realise this isn’t necessarily your problem, buy I’m having trouble converting my RAW files to jpegs.
    Even though my RAW files are 90MB plus, the jpegs when converted are only around 6MB.
    Am I doing something wrong?

    HHi Barbara, thanks for replying to my post.
    No there's nothing wrong with the Jpegs, but I want to srart uploading images for sale in Alamy, but they say they must be a minimum of 17mb un compressed. Does that mean that at 6mb compressed from 90mb they'd be acceptable?

    or can iTunes or Quicktime perform this task?
    Yes to both.
    In Quicktime Export -> Export Sound to Wave
    In iTunes, check your preferences for General>Import and then right click on the file to convert to WAV
    Also STP can do that.
    Double click the file to open it in the File Editor and Save as, then select Wave as the filetype.

  • How to maintain original lines when converting a word file in a PDF

    Unfortunately the table lines often change when converting a word file in a PDF, e.g. dotted/broken lines into straight lines or different kinds of broken lines. How can I maintain the original lines when converting the documents?
    Many thanks in advance for your advice.

    Hello,
    Ok, this is the background.
    I’m a publisher. Any document to end user will go as pdf. And off course it preserves the word appearance. We ship our manuals only in pdf.  At this point my end users have to copy the “CODES” into his editor to run the product.  So when doing it, the “Codes” copied from pdf to his editor loses its format.  Editor need not be the actual one; you can also test in a notepad.
    P.S: You can find the difference by copying the code from word to notepad and pdf to notepad
    Hope you now understood the purpose what I’m looking at for.

  • How can you globally keep the existing origin points in CS4 files.

    Is thre a way to globally keep the existing origin points in CS4 files.
    I understand that there are now Global Rulers and Artboard Rulers in Illustrator CS5 -
    ...but ALL the origin points in our current Illustrator documents (saved in CS4) that we use as templates for new work (last count, over 300!) and in all archived completed work have all moved to the top left of the page. All these documents were saved with different origin points to define non printing objects on the page such as our custom slug line and colour bars. Do we have to open and re-save each document with a new Global origin.

    I am in a similar situation, but with thousands of Illustrator files with 0,0 origins placed at the bottom left of objects. Now when I open a legacy document and change to global rulers, the Y axis above 0 are now negative values, they were positive in CS4 and earlier. My X values are correct.
    Is there a way to reverse the rulers so I don't have to enter negative values for everything above 0? Or is this a feature request / bug fix that needs a lobby?

  • How do I ensure that a semi-transparent background stays that way when converting a pptx file to PDF

    I can't seem to get a semi-transparent background image when converting to PDF file.  Every time I try it - the image converts to a full color - zero transparency background, muting out the text on the page.
    Please help.
    Thank you.

    Hi LeighAnnie,
    If you're running Windows, you could try setting up the CreatePDF Desktop printer.

  • Having problems with adobe color engine when converting a 32bit file into an 8bit in Photoshop CC.

    I'm having problems with the "adobe color engine" when converting a 32bit file into an 8bit.
    Error Message reads: "could not convert the image to 8 bit/channel because of a problem using the adobe color engine.
    Never had this problem before, just recently started happening! I've tried multiply files since and some work, some don't, can't work out why!? thought it might be due to a large file size?...any suggestions?

    That would require much more info about your files, your system and the version of PS you are using. Presumably there is some color profile issue at play here.

At the moment when I create a file using Word it is apparently given the extension .docx but Word doesn't recognise its own files. How do I allocate the extension .docx to Word?

  • Can I find the date when I transferred some files to someone else's pc?

    Hi, have a MacBook Pro but don't really know how to use it!
    I need to find out the date when I transferred some files to someone else's computer. Is there an area with some sort of history of actions where I can see what I did?
    thanks for any help
    M

    (Woggledog, I think the OP is trying to find out the date the files were copied from the Mac, not to the Mac.)
    If you are trying to determine when you transferred the files +without access to the PC that they were transferred to+, you are out of luck, I'm afraid. There's no log for that information. If you can access the PC the files were transferred to, the created/accessed dates on the PC will reflect the move. But I suspect you can't access that computer, which is why you're seeking a log of some sort...
    How did you move the files? If you used a flash drive, for example, and still have that, check there...even if the files were deleted from the drive, they may be recoverable.
    Hope this helps...
