Master level is extremely low((((

Spent lotsa time remixing one track and now when everything mixed and polished and I like the sound, ca y est! the master level peaks at -22 or sth, even with the Logic Adaptive limiter, when I try to bounce the output 1-2 channel track there are even no waveform peaks on the file image, and everything is still extremely low...I think I overcompressed the track but I like the sound and I simply won't be able to redo it (nor I have any desire to), how can I get it to at least -5 or more?

By the way, excellent advice John. This is one of those questions that is hard to answer without the project itself. Even a screenshot of the complete mixer plus one of the complete (=all tracks from start to finish cisible) arrange could tell us a lot.
To the OP: this is how to get screenshots in a post here:
+You can only post screenshots if you upload the Screenshots to an internet site/server first. I upload my screens to Flickr http://www.flickr.com, but there are other free photo-upload sites. If you have a .mac account, you could use that instead.+
+Taking screenshots:+
Shift+CMD3 takes a shot of the entire screen.+
Shift+CMD4 turns the cursor into a rectangular marquee tool. Clickdrag until you have the right area framed, then release the mousebutton to take the shot. If you choose the wrong starting point for the marquee, hit Esc and try again.+
+Once you've uploaded it, go to where it is uploaded, right- or ctrl-click on the picture and choose *Copy Image Location*. Go to your post and add the following syntax to it:+
+{img src="pastecopiedImageLocationhere"}+
+You must substitute < and > for the {}braces shown above, and the +quotation marks are essential.
+Use the Preview tab (right above the five format buttons) when writing a post to check if the screenshot shows up in your post, before actually posting it.+

  • Losing sound on the right channel or sound level is extremely low

    This started happening when I got my 5. speaker system ( Logitech Z-5500 ) sometimes I would lose all sound from the right channel ( both front and rear and sometimes including center ) and sometimes the volume is at an extremely low level even if the sound card output is at 00% now fixing this is either a reboot or a change of audio mode Game to Ent ( vice versa ) Is creative working on a permanent fix for this one ? Im using X-Fi Extreme Music and Windows 7 64bit 8GB of ram

  • LE 8 Master Level Doesn't Work

    Hi. Can anyone tell me how to get my master level slider on the Transport Bar to work? Clicking the Dim button works, but moving the slider has no effect on the Master Level channel strip in the mixer and of course doesn't change the audio level. Neither does the right button which is supposed to set the level to 0db.

    Now this is new! When I click the Dim button, the Dim icon highlights, the level drops and the slider jumps to about 3/4 of the way to the end of the range of the slider. Then I move the slider and nothing changes aurally or in the Master Output Channel Strip. When I click the Dim button again ( to deselect it), the button un-highlights, the slider jumps back to the same 3/4 spot. Subsequent slider wiggling has no effect. Also, I've noticed that pressing the 0 db switch on the right has no effect on the Master Output switch, or the level of the signal, but it does cause the Master Level slider to move to that 3/4 spot. What's new is that rather than dimming to the level that I've set in Audio Prefs, the signal is apparently dropping by some set amount subtracted from what the Master Output is set at, ie, when MO slider is low, Dim switch drops the signal to an inaudible level, rather than what I've set in Prefs. What's up with that, do you suppose?
    Since I wrote the above, I went back and tried a blank template project file, and the slider works more like what you'd expect, except I was expecting the Master Output slider to actually move along with the Master Level slider in the Transport Bar, which it does not. In the blank template project, moving the slider causes a level change, the Dim and 0db switches work OK. So there is apparently something in the project I'm working on causing the disconnect. Any ideas?

  • Satellite A100-532: microphone sound volume is extremely low

    I just bought Satellite A100-532 and I have a problem with sound input. I can't use microphone to chat with my friend on msn or even to record my voice on to the hard drive because the sound volume is extremely low.
    I tried turning up all the volume on the desktop and on the RealTek HD sound manager but did not help. Microphone is working perfectly fine as I can hear myself well on the speakers.
    Normally, with my old laptop (M30 series) I could use the Sound Recorder to record music which I play using Winamp or WinMediaPlayer but for this new laptop it does not detect any sound at all..just silence.
    Please advise.

    Hi
    You should check also the volume controls in the "Sound & Audio devices" in control panel.
    In the "Volume" tab please go to "Advanced".
    Then a "Volume control" should appear.
    Check if all controls are set to high level.
    Furthermore enter the "options" and "properties" and enable all volume controls.
    Change also to "recording" and enable there also all controls.
    Additional you should check if the all "recording controls" are set to high.
    Use "Advanced" option of mic and play around with the mic boost settings.
    I'm sure you will find the best settings for your mic recording

  • Vocals are extremely low...help!

    On iTunes, my audio is okay except the vocals are extremely low (or sometimes even unaudible). But when I listen to the songs on my iPod, the vocals are totally normal. I've tried fooling around with the equalizer, and then completely turning the equalizer off, but it still doesn't work. I've checked all the forums, but no one seems to have this problem. Then I uninstalled iTunes and installed it again, but the problem remains.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?!

    Are you aware that you can adjust the volume levels from within iMovie by clicking on the icon located in the centre of the screen amongst 10 other icons, it's the one that looks like a ray gun attack!!! (2nd from right icon)
    Failing this, what settings are you using in MPEG Streamclip?
    I use EXPORT TO QUICKTIME, then select compression 'APPLE DV - PAL' from the dropdown menu, and move the quality bar to 100%.
    Click on 'Make movie'.

  • Volume output is extremly low on Z3

    My xperia z3's volume output is extremly low comparted to my old iphone 4 and also without any bass even when trying the same set of headphones on both of them , and i tried clear audo+ and DSEE HX but they dont help at all with the volume they make it worse and i tired increasing everything in the equalizer inluding the bass and still nothing is there anyway i could fix this or is there something wrong with my phone?

    Seems this is a common problem for people, I'm experiencing the same problem with my z3 compact.
    The way to fix this is to root your phone and then it's just a matter of editing a text file inside your phone to raise the overall volume level.
    I've posted up a message here too about it, just want for someone to pass it onto Sony and hope that it can be fixed, it's not a major thing for them, it would be quite easy for them to fix.

  • B590 - Sound w/ headphones extremely low

    Hi! I have looked around, but haven't found a solution. I just got this laptop and I am already running into problems. When connecting the headphones the sound is extremely low. I maxed out the sound bars, but it doesn't work. Also went into the control panel and checked the volume equalizer - to no avail. Does anybody know what to do?? Hope you can help.
    Greetings, S.

    I am still attempting to fix this issue. I have did a fresh install of windows 8, tried installing drivers from Toshiba, realtek drivers, also assorted other fixes that would seem to help. It does it both out of speakers and through headphones. You will be watching a movie, video, etc, randomly the sound level will drop to where you need to crank the app volume up over 80% and the system volume up above 80-90% and then you can mostly hear it. The only fix seems to be closing the application that is using the sound device (tried media player, media player classic, winamp, and Toshiba DVD player) then reopening the application which resets it, it may not drop again for the rest of the video or might drop immediately. Trying to use the laptop to listen to music and closing the lid can cause it to drop, but like I said it is random. Headphones, speakers, doesn't matter. Anyone else having this trouble? I use this laptop all the time therefore I really cannot be without it for weeks just for a diagnostics program to see the system is fine and still having it happen when I get it back.

  • Extremely low message throughput with MQ 3.6

    We performed some load tests to determine maximum throughput of the Sun JMS framework when used in conditions similar to our application.
    The achieved throughput is extremely low: around 10 messages / second while we expected around 100. Could you please verify what may be the reason?
    We encountered one particular problem: the time of closing JMS producers increases much during the test. Message throughput decreases proportionally. Time periods of other phases of the JMS API usage remain constant. What can be the reason?
    detailed information:
    Our configuration used:
    server machine:
    cpu: Intel Celeron 2.8 Ghz
    ram: 1GB
    os: CentOS release 4.4 (Final), 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL
    application server: Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.1 2005Q2 UR2
    java version: 1.5.0_04
    we use default imqbroker configuration
    client machine:
    Intel Celeron 2Ghz
    ram: 512MB
    os: Fedora Core release 3, 2.6.12-1.1381_FC3
    java version: 1.4.02
    Test description (find attached test unit sources presenting our way of using JMS API):
    Load test is performed by running a number of concurrent test units against the JMS broker. Number of units is constant in time. Additionally, every unit test at the end of its life cycle launches another unit to keep long test time perspective.
    Each test unit is self-contained. It contains of a producer and a consumer (MessageListener). It sends messages to itself . Also each message unit sleeps for some time to simulate message processing.
    Messages are non-persistent, no durable subscriptions are used. All units are using one shared Queue for whole messaging. Message selectors are utilized to guarantee that messages are delivered to intended receiver.
    By this test we wanted to determine a maximum value of message throughput for which all messages are delivered successfully and in some reasonable time (say less than 1 minute).
    Some variations of test units are possible, e.g. JMS connections and/or sessions can be open/closed for every sent message or shared among multiple producers. But (contrary to our expectations) we encountered no visible differences in message throughput and message delivery time.

    My Small Business Router has been sending me email messages. This is a RVS-4000 version 1.
    I just want to understand what my Router is emailing me or telling me...
    The last message I received from my RVS-4000 was:
       Oct 30 13:44:09 - IPSEC EVENT: KLIPS device ipsec0 shut down.
    IPSEC EVENT sounds important. Whatever it is... And what is a KLIPS device ipsec0 shutdown????
    I have Log Levels 0-3 selected...
    Log Level
    Setting which level log Router should recorder. Level from 0 ~ 7 means:
    0: LOG_EMERG(system is unusable)
    1: LOG_ALERT(action must be taken immediately)
    2: LOG_CRIT(critical conditions)
    3: LOG_ERR(error conditions)
    4: LOG_WARNING(warning conditions)
    5: LOG_NOTICE(normal, but significant, condition)
    6: LOG_INFO(informational message)
    7: LOG_DEBUG(debug-level message)
    So, when I get any messages... I'm a little concerned. Because the RVS-4000 thinks it's an Error or better.
    What I would like from Cisco is the meaning of all level 3 or lower email messages my Router can send to me. So, that I can take the appropriate actions.
    I know Cisco inhered these Small Business Routers. When they bought Linksys. However, they have not discontinued them totally and they are still for sale. And Cisco has released a new version 2 of the same Router. So I believe Cisco should support them as well.
    Yes, I'm a pain to Cisco. However, I think you understand I'm being scared by my Routers messages to me... And would like some relief.

    Great suggestions. Problems is this is not the forum for your "wish list" as Apple does not read these USER forums.

  • Multiple Country of Origin at a Material Master level- Foreign Trade import

    Hi Gurus,
    We have a requirement to store Multiple Country of origin at a Material Master level . One Part/Material is sourced from different vendors and they are manufactured in different countries . Please note that we are not using Batch Management . Is there any workaround to have this scenario without using standard Batch Management .
    Thanks,
    Prabuddha

    hi,
    you can use split valuation for this by using the valuation category field in material master in accounting 1 view.
    in this you have to maintain valuation category as "H" = ORIGIN.
    For split valution procedure you have to reffer the  follow this link.

  • Audio Level Way Too Low On Movie

    I just downloaded my first movie 'Mamma Mia' from iTunes and the audio level is dramatically lower than the hundreds of songs I have purchased.
    Furthermore, the preamp, equalizer, sound check and sound enhancer functions in iTunes 8.02.20 don't seem to work on movie audio although they are fine on music. Bottom line, there is not enough audio level from my iPod Touch to drive parallel headphones on an airplane.
    Does anyone know if all iTunes movies have this problem, and if so, what can be done about it? I am used to the normal variations in songs but this is ridiculous. iTunes customer service either doesn't know or won't tell me what is going on.
    Thanks

    "When the iPod is connected right click on the file (on the iPod) and click Properties."
    Well, now it's right click on the file -> Get Info -> Options. And yes, both a volume adjustment and equalizer preset come up but neither is active in the window (not on songs either...) I tried changing several options under the iTunes preferences but wasn't able to activate these adjustments - probably not available on the iPod Touch.
    Thanks for the idea, anyway!

    Points will be assigned
    Thanks
    Supriya

    Hi
    May be as 'Shannon' said, we can do the substitution at vendor master level.
    But, this is not like using TCODE:GGB1 - this is a user exit at the Vendor master program level.
    Thanks you 'Shannon', i don't have an idea on this exit part, thanks for sharing the information.

  • The volume of Youtube is extremely low, even maxed out.

    I would say that for the past two-three weeks I've been having a problem where my Youtube volume in Firefox is extremely low. In order to hear anything really I have to have my Windows volume at 100%, my speaker volume maxed out, and Youtube volume at its highest.
    I Watched the exact same youtube video in chrome and its so LOUD! I had to turn my windows volume to 50% and my speakers way down and it was still louder than Firefox. I searched for similar issues and found one that exactly matched my problem, I even followed the suggested steps to fixing the issue at hand but nothing has worked.
    Steps completed so far:
    -Fresh install
    -Cleared cookies, cache, site preferences and offline data
    -re installing flash
    -Cleared flash cookies and settings
    I dont want to abandon firefox but this issue is extremely annoying and there doesnt seem to be a logical fix available. Any help is appreciated.

    Philip,
    I want to thank you for your suggestion. There was an issue where the volume for the Firefox application was turned down extremely low resulting in the issue at hand. I have since corrected this thanks to you!
    James,
    I appreciate you trying to help but I explained in my question that I had the YouTube volume up to 100%.
