Podcast volume

Hi everyone
We're trying to record a podcast. We have a very good mic (Blue Snowball) but the volume is just way too low. How can we get a higher volume? We've already moved the two sliders: the track slider and the master slider.
Thanks.
Dan

try the input volume in sound section of system preferences, and the input volume in garage band. it's in the info panel to the right near where it says to record mono or stereo. by the way you should have mono as if you have stereo it will only come out on one side of the pan cutting the volume in half

  • Podcasts volume turned down...

    I've uploaded several podcasts- they download fine to iTunes and appear to work- but when you try to watch/listen to them on the .mac page, the volume in the quicktime controls is turned all the way down. I spent a lot of time playing with my speakers before I realized that the volume control ON THE QT controls was there and it was turned all the way down. Turn it up, and all is well. Why would all of our podcasts be turned down? Is the a setting in iweb/.mac to turn them up globally? thanks

    When you add the video to your podcast page (in iweb), you see the same controller bar with the little speaker on the left (it's QT volume control); you can set the volume there too.

  • Pause podcasts during audible notifications?

    During my commute I oftentimes use GPS apps (e.g., Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze) while listening to podcasts using the native Podcast app on iOS 8, all via my vehicle's Bluetooth connection. When these apps generate audible notifications, alerts, or turn-by-turn navigation, the podcast volume is simply lowered until the alert completes, then it returns to its original level. That frequently causes that portion of the podcast to be unlistenable and, therefore, missed, since manipulating the controls on the phone to (say) go back 30 seconds is too dangerous while driving.
    Is there any way to make podcasts pause playback during audible notifications?

    As of today (October 26, 2013) the AutoSilent App available on the App store has a new update which will allow for audible alerts to be muted while on a call. I just tried it and it works. Great job AutoSilent!

  • Workflow does not work from Script Menu or as Application

    Hi,
    I create a really simple script to adjust podcast volume...
    1. Get Specified iTunes Items (Recently added podcast – my smart folders of recently downloaded items)
    2. Filter Songs in iTunes (Volume Adjustment is 0: so the workflow will not touch podcasts already adjusted.)
    3. Set Options of iTunes Songs (Volume Adjustment: 80)
    The workflow works find when running from Automator. But when I save it as script plug-in or application and try to run it, nothing happens. Please help. Thanks.
    P.S. I tried to create folder action script that adjust the volume automatically when a podcast is downloaded (get selected items -> set options in iTunes songs). At first it works. Now it doesn't.

    It starts by pausing iTunes, executes a applescript where there are say commands, pauses for 3 seconds, gets info from ical, filters out todays events, speaks these events out loud, fetches a weather report via web(xml), speaks out loud, pauses a couple of seconds, gets current itunes song, resumes playing of this song and the workflow is finished.
    It quits right before it is about to announce todays events. Doesnt matter if there are events for today or not. If I start the application manually however, everything seems fine.
    The Applescript used to launch the program:
    tell application "TodaysiCal"
    run
    end tell
    Any suggestions now ?

  • Ipod touch 4 creates high pitch noise from cassette adapter

    Did not have this issue with my ipod touch 2nd generation.
    Have a Monster cassette adapter in my car (looks to be an earlier model than what is currently for sale at Apple website). ipod touch runs off of battery (not plugged into power source).
    Creates a high pitch noise through the speakers. Not particularly loud, but annoying and very noticeable during quiet moments of music/podcasts
    Volume of noise does not change with changing the volume on the car audio system.
    Will start when the ipod touch starts playing. Will persist as long as the ipod is playing. Will not immediately stop when the music is paused. It will stop though after about 10-15 seconds.
    Any ideas of what is causing this and why it did not happen with my previous ipod touch (2nd gen)?
    Using iOS 4.1

    Thanks for the suggestions/questions
    If I plug the touch into my wife's car that uses a straight plug-in (no cassette adapter), I don't hear the noise. Unfortunately this is not an option on my car.
    Have not tried plugging it into an actual home stereo but can give that a try.
    If the engine is shut off, the noise is still present. Unaffected by the engine or RPM of it.
    One other clarification - the noise is constant coming from the ipod. It does not vary based on the ipod volume. What this means is that if I turn up the ipod to full volume (and turn down the volume of the car stereo), the noise is less noticeable.
    Of course the noise gets amplified with the rest of the music by the car stereo volume.
    Will also try other suggestion and see what happens if I turn Airplane mode on.
    Thanks

  • Can't turn up the volume on more than one podcast ITunes 11.1.1

    This also happened in Itunes 11.1 but when I am in list view and select all podcasts to set the volume between 95 and 100 percent when I choose Get Info a message comes up, "Your selection contains more than one kind of media.  All items must be the same kind of order to view or edit them together."  I have maybe 1 or two video podcasts but mostly all of them are audio podcasts.  I'd like to be able to turn the sound up on all of them at one time like I used to.

    Yes, it just took some time to build the waveforms for the second track. I went and got a snack, and when I came back from the kitchen the waveforms were there. Thanks!

  • Volume too low on 6300, and listening to podcasts

    I believe this question has been asked so many times, but is there ANY way to make the allowable volume any higher on headsets? I'd like to listen to music while riding my bicycle and even the sound of the damn tires on the road is louder than the max volume settings.
    Only workaround I found is to use a custom equalizer and bump up all frequency bands. Sound then kinda sucks.
    Last, I tried listening to podcasts, but the audio playing interface is a joke: try fast forwarding into a 20 min podcast ... you can't! The fast forward button moves 6s forward every 2s. Oh that's fast! NOT!
    I wonder how Nokia believes they can ever displace Apple's iPod if they can't even get the most BASIC function right. For frak's sake, my 30 year old cassette Walkman does fast forward right!
    I'm FACEPALMing just thinking about those Nokia suits at the next marketing meeting, scheming on how they're going to take over the world of MP3 players and all that, but little do they know that their l33t engineers can't even do FF right!
    / facepalming

    Thanks for the suggestion JKramer. I should have been more clear about having adjusted all volumes up in the settings screen. Assuming all sound options are located within the "Settings --> Sound & Display" screen, then yes, I have tried changing them. I have also tried changing the option to "use incoming call volume for notifications" under the "ringer volume" settings, after reading that someone had success in improving volume that way.
    This issue is not a problem all of the time. It is only an issue when there is an elevated level of background noise, such as driving on the freeway, or having music or a movie playing in the room.
    The phone is otherwise excellent! I live and commute in areas of very spotty reception (with all cell providers), and this phone will keep calls and not even have voices garble where my past two phones have consistently dropped calls in at least five problem locations. So far, everything else about it seems to work great!
    Maybe some of these phones don't have this issue. Or, maybe the people who say they don't encounter the problem are lucky enough to live in relatively quite environments most of the time. In a quiet house or office, it is certainly loud enough. It just needs to have the option for increased volume when in noisy places. The issue is that its "max volume" settings are not as loud as with other phones.
    Searching for something like "Droid X volume" will indeed show many people experiencing these same problems on various forums...

  • Volume Adjustment on ipod for podcasts

    Up until reecently I could manuallly increase the volume of podcasts, and highlight all and adjust them all together. This no longer works. Help.

    Thanks for your response. I just tried using it in the normal way and it sorted itself out. The volume turns up in XM now.
    I'll put it down to a little glitch as I uploaded the MP3s this morning and so it's the first time I've used XM. Maybe it takes a few hours/attempts to have everything functioning.

  • Podcast Playback Volume

    Have recently really got into Podcasts, great time killer to and from work...however on the whole whenever they play back, they are so quiet. So, for example, trying to listen to Sunday Supplement on the train or bus is impossible due to background noise.....even at full volume....
    Please help!!

    If you right-click the podcast in itunes, and then select "Get Info", under "Options", you can adjust playback volume. Have you adjusted the volume here, coupled with the volume controls on the phone?

  • Adjusting volume on mulitiple podcasts iTunes 11.3

    It seems like adjusting the volume on multiple podcasts has been fixed in iTunes 11.3 update because it goes faster but no it seems like podcasts aren't deleting 24 hours after because I just keep the most current podcasts for the week.  Is anyone else experiencing this?
    I have one NHL hockey podcast which has a 7/1/2014 podcast as the latest but when turning up the volume on all podcasts it seems like its going back through the NHL hockey podcasts and every one since 2012.  Is there any way to stop this?  It really should just be saving one podcast.  I have Limit Episodes set to Most Recent and Delete Played episodes set to on.

  • Volume of podcasts

    Hi,
    I'm creating some podcasts which are housed on my job's server. The volume on the podcasts is fine when I listen to them on my computer. When I access them through iTunes, the volume is so low I can barely hear the podcast. Why is this? I'm trying to make the files smaller as they're just huge-- would this affect how they're heard through iTunes? Please help-- I'm doing this for my job. I have no equipment and no training and I'm just at a loss!
    Thank you!

    iTunes has an option to adjust the volume of an audio file on import. It's in Preferences > Playback, the checkbox labeled "Sound Check". If you turn this on, and then import your podcast audio file it may adjust the level (you can see this in the Get Info window for the file: the Summary pane will show you a Volume level, and the Options pane shows a Volume Adjustment slider).
    I think it's probably a good idea to import the file to iTunes for volume adjustment before uploading it - my understanding is that this volume adjustment is part of the metadata and will be honored when downloaded by other listeners.
    Don't know your workflow, but if you are using an audio program (Audacity, GarageBand) to edit your podcast it would be good to run a Normalize filter over the file before exporting the compressed version for podcasting.

  • Ipod won't play video/podcasts or audio only a black screen with the play symbol and volume/progress bar. games work fine! any ideas?

    Ipod video classic 5th gen won't play video/podcasts or audio only a black screen with the play symbol and volume/progress bar. games work fine! any ideas?

    Here's some more info.
    I tried installing the latest iTunes to my housemate's PC, logging into iTMS with my account, authorizing his machine to play my content, restoring my iPod to the factory settings, downloading the videos and copying them to my iPod.
    It worked fine, and I can play my videos.
    I have done the exact SAME thing on my own home PC twice, after completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and the Apple Software Updater. But I still can't get any videos downloaded on my home PC to play on my iPods.
    Any thoughts?

  • My volume won't work on some of my apps but works on podcasts and my music.  What is happening

    When I use my apps like I funny and tapped out or want to watch video clips there is no sound, but I can listen to my music and podcasts without any problem. I have tried restarting my iPad several times and it still does not work.  Any suggestions?

    Your system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • HT5295 Unable to adjust volume via airplay in the podcast app

    I'm not able to change the volume of the podcast in the app when playing through airplay on my apple tv. Do we need an app update?

    Thanks for the response Eric.  I did previously try that hoping it would cure the problem.  I ran Disk Utility again and it came up with the same long list of issues.
    It appeared that I successfully repaired all of them except the one relating to the SUID file warning.  I immediately verified the disk again, but the same list of issues were listed.
    Interestingly, I did install a trial version of Parallels a few weeks ago.  I don't recall having these problems prior to that.  Last night, when my computer went into its altered state, Parallels was the only program that would successfully open.  I have since removed it using AppZapper.  We will wait and see.

  • Volume drop with 5c during Podcasts

    I have a 5c and have noticed over the last few weeks that when I listen to podcasts with earphones after a few minutes the volume level drops by about half. It shows as still being at full volume on the controls so I can't put it up. And if I receive a text message whilst listening then the volume resets itself.
    Anyone else had this problem or know what causes it?

    Did you check the expression on the channel strip to see what it is set to? In many software instruments, expression controls the input level. Maybe expression is being sent by one of your knobs on your hardware accidentally, or you have some on screen object mapped to send expression. In the first case, you can check by leaving midi monitor open and spying on the input, to see if expression is being sent at any point...
