Low audio on mic w/60D

New at DSLR (but old on DV and film) and noted audio on my Canon EOS 60D isn't great. I got a corded lav mic and tried two different methods; first lav into 60D and then used digital recorder by itself. Obviously digital recorder was excellent but the lav mic plugged into 60D was very low.
I tried shotgun mic and it worked reasonably ok on 60D.
All new to me so any comments welcomed on low audio problem.

Hello Jaymack,
You probably need to adjust the sound recording level which will raise the audio recording level.  To do this, go into the Menu > Sound Recording function.  Switch Sound rec. to [Manual] and then press Set.  You would select Rec. level and look at the level meter while turning the <Quick Dial> to adjust the sound recording level.  You want the level adjusted so that the level meter sometimes lights up to the "12" (-12 dB) mark on the right for loudest sounds.

  • Low audio levels on itunes purchased music video's

    Can anyone tell me how to boost the audio levels on purchased itunes music video's ?
    I have purchased a few videos lately from the itunes music store and occasionally I find the odd one which has very low audio levels. I assume that itunes has not monitored some video/audio files closely enough when importing them into the in tunes system itself and the audio levels have fallen a little low on certain tracks. Have a look at some of the Eurythmics songs - 'Angel', 'Missionary Man', or 'Best of You' by the Foo Fighters for example.I have boosted these tracks by 100% within the in itunes track options, but its still a very low level compared to some of the other tracks I have downloaded.
    I tried to import one of these video files to Mpeg Stream Clip to see if I could use the audio boost function within that program but it didn't like the video file ? I presume because it was an itunes purchased video, therefore a protected file.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this or what setting I should be using, doing with Mpeg Streamclip to fix this problame if this program can fix this issue ?

    yes i have exactly same problem. Was all working fine till I upgraded to iTunes v8.1.
    TV shows, everything works fine... its just music videos dont show the video, no matter which setting I choose?
    Help please!!!

  • Low audio volume in DVD SP

    I've been experiencing low audio volume with burned DVDs in DVD SP 4.
    The audio volume is fine in FCP, and also in the self-contained exported QT file.
    But once imported into DVD SP and burned to a DVD, the volume is almost cut in half on multiple projects. The DVD's are short (< 30 minutes) so the audio is left as an AIFF file rather than converting it to an .ac3 with Compressor.
    I don't see any way to control the volume in DVD SP.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    There's no way to control volume in DVDSP.
    I had the same problem, but I had an ac3 file through Compressor. And there was this feature in it called "dialog normalization" that I had to turn off (setting it at -31dB), and my levels were good.
    If you can't solve your problem with AIFF, maybe try ac3, and see if it suits you.

  • Boot camp 5 is not support for audio and mice in windows 8.1

    i upgrade to windows 8.1, but, no audio and mice is not working properly. i used boot camp 5. any one can help.

    Windows 8.1 x64 RTM is running without any problems on MacBook Pro 13" i7 16GB Memory as I upgraded last week.
    If you are using the Beta version of Windows 8.1 I suggest you wait until it is available to the General Public on October 17.
    If you have the RTM (I am a Microsoft Partner) then just install and then run the Windows Support Software for Bootcamp 5 and the proper drivers will be installed.

  • IDT High Definition Audio CODEC v. 6.10.6395.​0 Upon installati​on I have very low audio output

    IDT High Definition Audio CODEC v. 6.10.6395.0.  5/21/ 2012
    Upon installation I have very low audio output!   Screen Shot    Screen Shot 2
        I have tried:
    un-installing and reinstalling the drivers.
    Installed the original drivers via HP's website sp53222 for my particular model.  HP  Pavilion HPE  h8-1070t
    Any suggestions? would be greatly appreciated.  It would appear IDT who I also emailed and they never responded is responsible for a codec pack that is not fully functional with this motherboard.
    was wir lieben meistens nicht kriegen

    Did you access the Catalyst Control Center in programs and look at the latest updates for your graphics card and make sure you didn't download the audio drivers they self install and are checked automatically each time you attempt an update for the card.
    Did you right click on the speaker in the system tray and go into recodring devices make sure everything is setup propper there sometimes they too can change.
    I'm familiar with cakewalk but never used it on Win7 its been many years since I played around with that. If you are using the onboard audio card and it has worked before and not now if I were in your situtation I would attempt to reisntall the dirvers via device manager they do sometimes become corrupt especially if you picked up any malware that was removed by your antivirus software due to the drivers and malware both reside inwindows\system32.
    After the reisntall of the drivers if the issue is not resolved I would upgrade the audio card with a  PCIe x1 component such as:
    Creative Labs SB1040 PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card
     http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Labs-SB1040-Express​-Blaster/dp/B000W7PNZI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357​...
    After I paid for a real soundcard with Recording: 24-bit/96kHz and Sound Output Mode - 7.1 and bypassed my onboard audiocard I never had any issues again. My onbaord worked too in the begining for certain things than stopped mysteryously and the reinstallation became ineffective after a while so I decided the money for the tower was invested mainly in the CPU i7 the RAM and HDD.
    *** Note if you did install the audio drivers for the graphics card you will have to change the onboard audio in the BIOS from automattic to enabled. Otherwise you will have no sound at all. So never take the audio drivers for the graphics card unless you need them for DVR recording or something. The PCIe audio cards are never effected by this however only the onboard audio. Another reason onboard is a cheap way to go and HP bundles it as cheap as it can my friend.
    Good Luck again!

  • Still low audio on DAC-100

    Hello,
    I am still having the problem of extremely low when importing any VHS video using the DAC-100, from my VCR, into Final Cut Pro. As I stated earlier, audio only comes in on one track in Final Cut, and it's very low at that. I cut the track that doesn't have any audio on it, then copy the track that does, but, that doesn't help much, & is too much add'l work.
    I used the suggestion here and selected the two audio tracks in the timeline after capture, and chose Modify/Make Stereo Pair. It didn’t work, as the result was that the audio meter read that sound was only coming from one side, whereas when I played it before making into a Stereo Pair, it looked like it was coming out of both, even though only one audio track had any sound waves on it. And it was still low audio.
    I checked all of my connections, they are all tight. I have a miniDV camera and can go from the camera to the VCR, but NOT the other way around. I have contacted the DAC-100 co. but apparently there is only one technician for the whole co. and he has not gotten back to me. I am at a loss, as I need to transfer several VHS tapes, and at the moment, have no way of doing that. Ok, thanks so much!
    Kristina

    "is the audio at a lower level compared to the original audio straight out of the VHS player?"
    Yes, the audio does come in much lower than compared to straight out of the VHS player.
    "Is the converter box is faulty, test by using another box?"
    I don't have another box...
    "Is there output level settings DIP switches somewhere you could change?"
    Hmm, I could try changing DIP switches, but was advised to keep on the factory settings. Besides, they've always been that way, and they USED to work...but, could perhaps try...
    "If the original audio level is at the same level feed the output from the VHS machine into a sound mixer and wind up the gain, then feed that into the converter."
    No sound mixer...only tv/vcr; dac-100; MAC...

  • Low audio when going from Xpress Pro to DVD SP

    When I output from Avid Xpress Pro to DVD SP I get low audio on the final DVD.
    I export my Xpress Pro sequences as QT References with the audio as an AIFF file. I was able to improve the audio a bit by going into APack and converting the AIFF to an AC3 file. Even after boosting all the audio in the sequence (back in Xpress Pro) 10DB it's still not great. Any ideas?

    Mix your audio as hot as you can in the Avid...if you are using the -27 Dialogue Normalization setting, you are going to get the levles cut considerably. Use -31 (IIRC) instead...

  • Laptop HP 14d-006La has only one audio jack (mic/headset)

    Laptop HP 14d-006La has only one audio jack (mic/headset) 
    How can I solve this?
    I need to use my headset built-in mic instead of the laptop intengrated mic but it has only 1 audio jack, Can I solve this by software? or at least can I choose wether use the jack as mic or use it as external speaker?
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Hi EdgarNaranjo,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP 14-d006la Notebook  and having issues with connecting a microphone. Audio-out (headphone)/Audio-in (microphone) jack connects optional powered stereo speakers, headphones, earbuds, a headset, or a television audio cable. Also connects an optional headset microphone. This jack does not support optional microphone-only devices. Be sure that the device cable has a 4-conductor, a connector that supports both audio-out (headphone) and audio-in (microphone). Here is a document on connecting a microphone.
    Hope this helps.

  • Low audio level in encoded ac3 file

    When I export from FCS 2 using Compressor, audio ac3 file has a low audio level. I was trying change settings in compressor but no result. Therefore I export audio from FCP as quick time movie - AIFF audio file. Then audio level is the same as in FCS. But file is so big. It takes so much space on my DVD when authoring with DVD Studio Pro. I make DVD - PAL. Anybody with the same problem?

    I'm glad you mentioned the preset, Silal. I kept meaning to bring that up, but forgot.
    Set Preprocessing to None. That will keep high level short duration sounds, like drums, etc., from overtaking your dialog, and crushing it.
    The way DIALNORM is intended to work, you set it to the average level of your dialog from your editing app. If you're working in FCP, then that might be something like -12. That setting will cause the player to attenuate the level so dialog is attenuated by 19dB (-31 minus -12 = 19dB of attenuation by the player).
    That, in turn, allows the ridiculously loud music and nat sounds in the film soundtrack to sound "more natural", as they blast your ear drums into bits. "More natural" means "much louder than dialog, just like they are in real life".
    Bah, humbug! Let me hear what the talent is saying. I don't care if I can hear every nuance of that rock ballad, I just want to be able to follow the story, the plot.
    Hey, I'm an old dude, you whippersnappers.
    But back to the point, by setting DIALNORM to -31, the player works out the math like this:
    -31 minus -31 = 0dB of attenuation
    So, your level should be exactly what it was before the compression/conversion. Why it isn't is a mystery, still.

  • Record audio through Mic on web site and send it to other place

    No, without FMS you can't save the audio from a mic.

  • QuickTime .avi Low Audio

    I have QuickTime Pro 7.0.2 with the DivX Fusion plugin. One of my .avi files has extremely low audio. I have the slider all the way up in QuickTime and my Mac's audio is also pegged. Is there any other way to boost the audio?
    Thanks in advance!

    Not all video files compressed in the old AVI container are playable on a Mac, but if VLC will play them then I am surprised that Perian doesn't work for you.
    You show as using Leopard 10.5.2 - you need to update to 10.5.8.
    Is there a freeware I can use to convert all my .avi to .mov (or a better formatt) for iMovie.
    Yes, mpegStreamclip: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    Is there a freeware I can use to make the movie other than iMovie that will except my avi direct rather than having to convert all the files first.
    Not that I know of.
