Lower dB Level

I use the forward selection tool to select all audio tracks a1 and a2 in my movie. I then use the Selection Tool to lower the Audio in Clip #1 to -4 dB, expecting all tracks to follow suit but they do not. What am I missing? Surely I do not need to lower the dB in each and every clip individually, or do I?   

Select all the audio clips in the Timeline.
From the Menu, Modify>Levels.
A Gain Adjust window appears.
In the Make Changes field you can select Relative or Absolute.
Choose Relative and set the Adjust gain by: to -4 db.
All audio should now be changed.

  • Why lower audo levels when connecting to home stereo system

    I have connected an audio cable to the earphone output on the Nano.This cable has two RCA connectors that connect to the line-in of my home stereo system. It works fine except for one thing. The volume is lower than other sources that feed into a "line-in" input. To make things even across the system, is there some type of devise that will increase the output level of the headphone jack on the Nano? Or does using an Apple cable make any difference. I would think this little problem is just a case of the headphone output being of a lower output level than a "line-out" output.
    Thanks for suggestions.

    "I would think this little problem is just a case of the headphone output being of a lower output level than a "line-out" output."
    It is, which is why many people who want to do this use the iPod dock, which has a proper 'line out' socket.

  • 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 ?

    TV shows, everything works fine... its just music videos dont show the video, no matter which setting I choose?
    Help please!!!

  • Low Ink level warning on new inks.

    I own a Photosmart c309a and I am about ready to throw the thing out of the window.
    I purchased all 5 inks required today, printed 1 test photo (6x4), 2 personal photos (6x4) and about 7 test pages as I have not used the printer for a couple of months and had to clean the printer head 7 times.
    The problem I am now faced with is low ink levels. The Cyan, Magenta and Yellow inks are nearly empty, the Black is just over half full and the photo black is about a quarter full.
    Remember, these official HP cartridges are brand new and purchased TODAY!
    As my warranty expired with Comet about 2 months ago and HP is of no help at all as the automatic HP warranty check is a dead end, I am at a loss as to what t o do next, other than dumping the whole lot in the bin and buying a new (non HP) printer. Can anyone help?

    Hi @Mondo1, I'd be happy to help1   
    You can try changing the settings in the Printer Server Properties.
    Click to highlight your printer, click Printer Server Properties, then click Advanced tab and check both "Show informational notifications..." boxes.  Click Apply and then click OK.  
    As you can see, this screenshot is not specific to your printer. you will need to look for your 6600.

  • Low sound levels in Photo Booth and Imovie

    I am a new Mac user and I am trying to record a short video to email using the built-in Isight camera. I have tried to use Photo Booth and Imovie and both of them produce videos with very, very low sound levels. You can barely hear it even when turned up to the max. I have checked the Sound preferences, and it is set to the built-in microphone, about mid-level. I've tried cranking it up to the max and with and without Use ambient noise reduction checked. It has no effect. How do I get a decent sound level? It is unusable at this point. I've updated my Software and repaired permissions, and still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks for the response. I checked my midi audio settings and they are at the suggested rate. I called up an Apple support tech, and after trying a few things he basically said the internal mics are junk and go buy an external one. In the mean time, I've cranked up the sound levels to max, so I can hear it a little, but there is a ton of background hiss. I've done a web search and several people have reported this problem. so I think it might be something besides junk mics. Why do they install them if they are completely unusable? Thanks again. I'll try trashing the sound pref's too.

  • Volume level on line-in at 100% but still low sound level when I rec

    For many years and hundreds of times I have successfully recorded wave files using a wave editor (Goldwave). I have transferred albums, tapes, and now satellite radio by running stereo cables from my receiver into my line-in on my sound card (using a stereo-to-mono adapter). The volume level on the line-in was always too loud on my old sound card, so I always turned the volume of the line-in down to about 20% and it worked just fine.
    Two weeks ago my old sound card fried (don't know the brand - got it from a friend, and I've already thrown it out). I replaced it with a Sound Blaster Li've! 24-Bit. However, using the same configuration (receiver into line-in on card), when I record now the volume level that it records at is way too low. Even when I set the line-in level at 00% the volume that it records at is not even half the level it was with my old sound card set at 20%. Basically, when I record now at 00% on the line-in, the volume level it records at is too low. I have no problem with the line-out level - when I play mp3's or anything else on my hard dri've the volume is crisp, clear, and plenty loud at 40%.
    But what is the deal with the low volume recording level? Is there another setting I need to change? Or do I not have the right sound card to do this with? Please let me know if it is a setting issue, or if I just need a different sound card to do this. Thanks.

    I've had an Audigy2-nx for a week and have struggled with low
    recording levels as well.
    Have you tried selecting "what you hear" instead of "Line-In"?
    This gives me about 20% higher input levels.
    I gave up on MedeaSource for variable bitrate recordings and
    moved to dbPowerAmp. (direct recording to lame-mp3)
    Others here mention good VBR recordings with MedeaSource, but
    it won't exceed 90kbs (average) on my system.
    I'm finally getting decent recordings from line-in.

  • Lower volume level on Auxiliary that Airtunes is playing thru

    Anyone got any advice here? I have airtunes working on my Bose stereo from both computers in my house. When I play it, however, it is at a noticeably lower volume level than that of the CD or even FM radio. Volume on iTunes is at the max.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Chris

    Which input are you using on the Bose stereo? You should be using a line level input (for example "Tape In"). A phonograph input expects a much different signal and won't work properly.

  • Low bass level after burning CD from iTunes.

    I like lots of bass through my subwoofers when I'm driving. Unfortunately within the last 6 months or so, every cd I've burned through iTunes has low bass level. I can tell the difference when I compare an original cd to a burned cd. Is it normal for burned cds to have lower bass, or are there some options/preferences I haven't found yet that I can adjust the bass?
    *Edit* Sorry, I just noticed that I posted this in the wrong section. Is there a way I can move it?

  • M476dw no longer prints in Econo mode is this due to low toner level?

    I have an M476DW AIO color laser printer.My black cartridge reports "zero" remaining pages available, but still prints fine, so i have been waiting till the toner is "really" gone to install the new cartridge. I have been printing most documents in "econo mode" using less toner, but yesterday econo-mode seems to have stopped working ... Does anyone know if this is this an intentional design feature? I.E. econo-mode is disabled on low toner level to improve print quality, or do I have something else going on?I've made no changes to my settings / system.... Thanks,jim

  • 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.

  • How do I troubelsho​ot "low battery level detected" message?

    I recently restored my Windows 7 Home Premium to its factory default settings through hp recovery manager. All went fine but I am getting this really annoying message at the startup that "low battery level detected" and the battery needs to be replaced. Before the restore operation, I was getting almost 3 hours of battery support and after the restore I am now getting only half an hour.
    I am sure its not the battery, there is something else.
    I have tried updating the BIOS.
    Tried calibrating the battery.
    I even have calculated the battery rated output voltages and its giving in 11.02 V even after the system recognizes the battery completely drained. There is nothing wrong with the battery.
    Can anyone help me out?

  • IPhone 4S switches off at low battery levels

    Hello everyone,
    My iPhone 4S with less than 2 years is having problems. It powers off when it reaches (not so) low battery levels. It happened at as high as 16% of battery, and although it mostly happens when I try to open apps like Facebook or the Camera, it has happened also with stuff like the Phone app. It gets even worse, because although it still has more than 10% battery charge, the only way to power it up again is by pluging it to the transformer.
    Could this be battery related or is this a know iOS issue? I have been really careful with the battery since day one, so I would expect not to have such problems. It's really annoying, because I now have 85% of battery usage, not 100%, and I never know when it's going to power off next.
    Can anyone relate to this? Any suggestions about what I should try to fix it?
    I'm on the latest update of iOS 7.
    Thanks a lot!

    The best way to test the battery and make sure the level being displayed is as correct as it can be is to let the battery die completely, then plug it in to charge to 100% without using it. After that, see when it powers off. You can also make an appointment at the Genius Bar at Apple or your Authorized Apple Service Provider and they can test your battery.

  • Low Audio Level for USB Audio device

    Hello,
    I'm recording a voice over for a keynote presentation.
    -The internal mic records just fine, but when I use an external usb mic, the level into keynote registers very low.
    - in the system preferences the audio input for this exteral mic is perfectly fine.
    -the mic has been tested in a pc and records just fine at a good level
    -the same thing happens when I run a mic through a mixing board and use the line in on the mac...it shows up fine in audio settings, but has a low level in keynote.
    any ideas?

  • Will not print black. ink cartridge is new. also shows low black level with new cartridge.

    HP Photosmart C6180  all-in-one.  Will not print Black.  Also shows low black ink on ink level.  Cartridge is new and HP brand.

  • Bootcamp 3.1 & Windows 7 x64 - no external sound input, low speakers level

    Hi all,
    I just installed long awaited Bootcamp 3.1 update. I am rather disappointed.
    The only thing that has changed is that the red light on the audio output is off. This thing actually bothered me the least.
    External sound input line does not seem to work at all. No matter if mike or standard line device is connected. System recognizes that something is connected but there is no sound coming, level indicator does not rise.
    Speakers level is still low. As far as I know all it takes to fix it is to alter some settings in the *.ini file. Someone did it and posted for other to download but why it is sho hard for Cirrus and Apple? What is the matter?
    Is there any way to get sound output via Mini Port under Windows 7?
    System does not even see such device.
    Thanks,
    Thomas

    What about the iMac though? 2008 Model w/ Realtek to be specific. The audio is low and poor and I haven't even tried the audio out. I'm running Win7 x64 and everything works well aside from my audio and my external WD Studio FW800 drive disconnecting randomly with repeated directory changes. I can avoid that on my system... but the audio is a real disappointment. Makes me feel like I need an external FW sound card.
