QT 7 Pro - Volume of  audio is very low when I record from a microphone.

Possibly someone can help me here, I am trying to record audio using a microphone and QuickTime Pro. I want to put this audio on my Nano.
I cannot get the audio volume up to the level of existing imported audio programs when I record a audio program using QTP and a mic.
I have already tried to set the microphone volume to a higher level. In the Quicktime Program I set the Menu/Edit/Preferences/Quicktime Preferences
I then go to the Audio tab, select audio recording and playback devices, select "audio playback and recording devices" and set the volume slider on the microphone to high, go to the advanced tab, set the microphone to boost, still I get a very low volume.
When I record using the Windows Sound Recorder I get a high volume, but the output is a wave file and the quality is not as good as I really want. But clearly the microphone and driver work. I have tried updating the driver, still get low volume for my recorded audio.

So you use an RCA cable going into what before it hits the MBP?
EDIT: Also in System Preferences > Sound > Input > you can select the input & adjust the volume accordingly as long as it's plugged in.

  • Audio very low when i use blutooth Handset in my L...

    Hi,
    I have the Handset BH-106 which was working fine with my old Nokia Phones, after i got the Lumia 920 i Found that the Audio became very low after start the Call, it will start good but dropping down with the time, it was very old so i decided to buy i new one and i have selected the BH-217.
    i have tested it in the store the Audio was perfect, after few days the same issue accure and now im sure its the Phone issue not the Handset.
    i did soo many soft/Hard Resets, i also got the Portico update, and i got other nokia Update (like Audio and others) but nothing worked.
    is it really the Phone Issue because i dont want to buy newer handset like BH-220 with no benifits !
    what is the soulution and what is the best Audio Hanset (for phone calls only i dont listen to music), which is have a car base like the BH-217 and can go to stand-by Mode.
    Regards,

    It seems like this is a common problem with the BH-217 and it's auto adjust volume. You should be able to adjust volume on the phone.
    Others have the same problem.

    Any bluetooth headset should work for you.

  • AC3 audio is VERY low compared to apples menu presets

    AC3 audio is VERY low compared to apples menu presets,
    The original aiff files are at a good level, concert footage professionally recorded, nothing peaking, nothing too low.
    THe AC3 is at minus 10DB on the vu meter, the aiff peaks at 100.
    The apple menu music, which are .mov files, peek at plus 1-2.
    My old version of compressor did not do this.
    I do not have enough room on my disk for all AIFF but I do want to use the Apple Menus and provided music.
    Any thoughts?

    You can increase the Ac 3 "reference level" to 0 dB (it should be -27 dB)
    Reference level? There is no such thing - I believe you are referring to Dialog Normalization, and it is extremely unwise to set this to zero... it is most certainly not a good way of increasing the overall volume of the file. -27 happens to be the application's default value, but it in no way means it should be set to -27. There are a few factors you need to consider when using AC3 encoding...
    The DNV setting is the amount of attenuation that the file will get, according to a formula:
    attenuation = 31 + DNV setting
    Therefore if you set the DNV to be 0 you will alter all AC3 streams by 31 Db, which is enough to make it unplayable without serious distortion:
    0 = 31 + (-31)
    If you want to get the exact same audio levels out of A.Pack (or Compressor 2, if you are using that) then your DNV setting should be set to -31. This means there is absolutely NO attenuation to the file, meaning you get the same levels out as went in...
    What I recommend here is to edit the audio in an application such as Peak and get it sounding exactly as you want it. When you encode to AC3 set the DNV to -31 and set the compression to 'none' (not film standard or anything else, there's nothing worse than badly applied compression). These settings then give you a basic output which is nearer to what you start off with. The other setting much talked about is RF Overmodulation protection. This is useful to turn on if you think the player will be sending the output signal to an RF input on a TV rather than through scart or something else. It certainly used to be the case that such signals were boosted by 11db, causing overmodulation. The setting is a way of preventing that hapening, but as more and more folk have stopped using RF as an input it makes sense to turn it off. If in doubt, turn it on, but listen to the output file and see if it is acceptible.
    As for the basic bitrate, for a stereo file, lower it to no less than 192kbps.
    Now, if you want to run a few tests, then keep all the settings above and encode the same 10 second piece of audio. Change the DNV to -31, then -20, then -8 and then 0 and play the resulting files back and listen to what happens each time.
    Head over to http://www.macprovideo.com and download some of the tutorials there for A.Pack. They have been created by Martin Sitter (who has helped and guided me more than once) and will give you a far better understanding of AC3 encoding than anything else I can think of. You will pay for them, but it is a wise investment if you are at all unsure of how to get the best audio onto your discs. Let's face it, audio accounts for at least 2/3rds of the experience when watching TV - it is as well to get it right.

  • HT204370 the volume is very low on downloaded movies from itunes, and my volume is turned up all the way, and my volume is fine all other times???

    My volume is very low when I download a movie from itunes, and my sound is turn all the way up.  The volume works fine on everything else.  It's really hard to even watch the movie and enjoy it.  Why is this happening?

    Morning Al My issue has since been resolved after some advice from a friend. It was simple, push the optical cables in firmly until they click, however mine didnt click but there was definatley room for them to be pushed in further as if they are loose they "leak".  in addition to this on the TV settings, make sure that the TV speakers are turned off

  • When I make an outgoing call the recipient cannot hear me very well as though the volume was turned down very low. However when I activate the speakerphone the recipient can hear me loud and clear. I transferred my SIM Card into a new device Same problem

    When I make an outgoing call the recipient cannot hear me very well as though the volume was turned down very low. However when I activate the speakerphone the recipient can hear me loud and clear. I transferred my SIM Card into a new device only to be subjected to the exact same problem. I have reset the phone clearing all the data and updated to the most recent software version available from itunes; and still no improvements. The results of my switching to a new phone would indicate a software issue.
    Does anyone out there have this problem and how can it be fixed?
    Thanks,
    Teresa

    Try removing the screen protector that is covering the microphone.
    Scratch that; wrong answer. I thought you meant you had trouble hearing.

  • How do I separate audio channels to edit them seperatly ... they are both in the same clip when I record from two diffrent mics on two diffrent channels

    How do I separate audio channels to edit them seperatly ... they are both in the same clip when I record from two diffrent mics on two diffrent channels

    timc
    I do not see a way to separate audio channels to edit them separately in Premiere Elements (any version).
    Premiere Elements does have audio effects including Balance, Fill Right/Fill Left, and Swap channels, but that is not what you are seeking.
    I would refer you to an audio editor such as the free Audacity for what you want to do.
    Splitting and Joining Stereo Tracks - Audacity Manual
    I am not sure if this is close to what you seek
    https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/883383
    But, the opportunity seems to be in Premiere Pro, not Premiere Elements
    Please review and consider and then let me your thinking on the matter relating to your Premiere Elements 12 (what operating system).
    Thanks.

  • Volume on iphone is very low, this is a common problem, Apple Needs to FIX!

    I have a new iphone 3GS that I got at the end of July, 2009. Since then i've been having problems with the volume! I called support because i had this problem along with my screen turning blank and freezing up. Support said to take the case off and this might help. well it did help the screen issue (which is kind of dumb when you think about it because the case is supposed to protect the phone and instead it caused it to malfunction!!,wierd), but the volume issue never really changed. I am hearing impaired and I do wear hearing aids, BUT....I have ALWAYS been able to use cell phones that have good loud volume, as i need to remove my aids to use the phone. My LG phone had BEAUTIFUL volume, never had a problem!
    So, then I started to do some research and saw this is a very common problem! everyone I know that has an iphone has this problem, and all these people are normal hearing people! So then i decided to just get some really good, superduper headphones, because the headphones that came with the phone were ok, but i had to hold them in my ears.
    The other day i bought the new Bose in-ear headphones with superior sound quality and at $130 bucks, they better be and the are compatable with the iphone. But.....again, while actually talking to someone on the phone the sound, even with the headphones and all volumes max'd, was still very low!! and i know its not the headphones because listening to the ipod is fantastic! it must be the phone!!!
    I even used the "accessibility" setting that is on the phone and selected the mono audio feature which pushes both L&R sounds through one channel, and still doesnt help!
    I even called support back today and one guy said i had to "restore" my phone by plugging it into my computer (not really sure what he means) but we got disconnected and the other guy said that i should bring my phone into the apple store. Both tech guys denied that there are lots of calls or complaints about this....but as you all know from reading the many posts, that this is a very common problem!!!
    I think Apple should do the right thing and recall these phones or at least fix them or SOMETHING!!!! this volume issue is internally, because when i make a call and an automated voice comes on, it works fine (majority of the time) but as soon as a live voice comes on the phone, the volume drops! there must be some type of automatic voice adjuster that is just not working properly. I mean i love my phone!!! But....i cant use it!!! And now, im going to have to return my Bose headphones and try to find something else.
    Can anyone really help me?????

    I agree with you about the volume on the phone itself. (I have 3Gs). It needs to be louder. I also wear hearing aids. However I do think there may be something wrong with your phone because when I connect my earbuds (Klipsh) I get very good volume through them. In fact at full volume it's way too loud. I would push for a replacement phone.
    FWIW, my daughter (who also wears hearing aids) has trouble hearing her iphone. It appears to have more to do with the speaker not being lined up with the hearing aid's input. Her audiologist pointed out that some current hearing aids support bluetooth, I think we will get those next time we replace her hearing aids.

  • Iphone 5 volume on calls is very low

    Loads of people are reporting low volume through the iPhone 5 handset (when holding up to the ear).
    An no, there is no film over the speaker !!
    When someone calls, the sound is muffled, sounds like a very low bit-rate call. All the volumes are up as high as they go, and i can take the call in a quiet room and it sounds the same (so not the noise-cancelling part).
    help, this is most annoying.

    Ok after some web searches and no resolution, I took advantage of my user rights (sale of goods act for the uk).
    Arranged for tech support to call me and we arranged a replacement.
    New phone arrived.
    Problem solved

  • I can hear the video when played on iPhone5 but when emailed the audio is very low

    I'm unable to hear the videos when they are emailed from an iphone5. I can play it on the phone but the volume is extremely low when sent to email.  Any answers on how I can hear the video played louder when I open it from email on pc?

    To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
    Operating   system  
    Browser  
    Flash   Player version
    When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details.  Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
    Windows  
    Mac
    Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player.  I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform.  If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing.  You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.

  • On my iPhone 4s the video play back , the audio is very low . All other audio is good on phone even older video plays nice and loud . I have no idea what is wrong?

    On my iPhone 4s taking video then playing back ,the audio is so low you can barely hear it . I played older videos and the audio works perfect . All other audio works perfect on the phone too. I have no idea what is going on ?

    Hey!
    I have tried holding down the home and power button countless of times. It doesnt respond at all. Plug my phone to a charger and hold down the power button and my phone switched on. But it said Activation Required and said connect to Itunes. As e screen remains on the connect to Itunes screen, I disconnect the charger from my phone and my phone went dead instantly. My battery is full btw. Tried connecting to Itunes through my Macbook Pro but iTunes doesnt detect my device and the apple logo flashes for about a few seconds on my phone and then disappear and then came back on again. My Iphone has been connected to my laptop for about 30 mins and the apple logo has been coming on and off for 30 minutes now and Itunes has not detect my device yet.
    SIGHHH.

  • Audio outputting very low

    I'm outputting to flv's and there is sound but very low. I converted three files the same exact way and only one came out the way it should have. The only difference I see is I used the real camera audio on the one that sounds like it should and wav files for the other two that came out low. The wav files are clean and at the same level as the original.
    The thing that baffles me is that I exported all 3 to QT reference files and they all sound great.
    I have converted to another format and still low. I have also created a new QT reference and still the same problem.
    Anyone know why and how to fix this...why does it look and sound great in my QT reference but not outputting that way?

    I'm just going to make a wild guess here.
    Sometimes, if you have two audio tracks that are out of phase,
    when you combine them, the result is very quiet or disappears.
    If, for example, if the left and right channels are out of phase,
    you will hear them OK in stereo, but if they are both panned center,
    and there is a phase problem, you could be losing a lot of level.
    If you just use one track and mute the other, is the problem still there?
    Does the problem only happen when you're using both tracks?
    That would be a phase problem.
    In that case, you could try just use one track and pan it center.

  • After immersion audio is very low

    After testing immersion in water, my SmartWatch2 was working correctly. A few hours later, the screen went black and never started again. I detected some moisture in the corners of the screen. Also, tested this for my Xperia Z1. Phone is working, but sound is very low even when I set it to max level. Some forums state that after 2 hours it should be working normally again, but It's been 3 days now and still the same issue.

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    About your SmartWatch 2, its only water resistant. Not proof. So if it has been submerged it may take damage by the water.
    Regarding your Xperia Z1. It sounds like some moisture might still be trapped inside somehow. Try blowing into the speaker holes and check if you notice any difference.

    So basically if a iphone has a fault after the 1 year warranty period is over, there is nothing the consumer can do but purchase a new phone??
    Pretty much. Except that Apple will replace it for a fixed fee that is far less than the cost of a new phone. In the US the replacement cost for an iPhone 4 is $149. It is comparable in the UK. Unless you can prove that the fault was present at the time of purchase. A switch wearing out would probably be considered normal wear and tear, not a "fault".

  • Microphone/ very LOW level / bad records

    hi
    i want to record simple voices into my G5-Dual 1.8GHz - but in every application (iMovie, FinalCut, Garageband, Quicktime) there is a very LOW audio-recording-level and i can't get a clear signal. the level controller at the audio interface is set to MAX-Input.
    I'm using the TASCAM US122 audio-interface and different microphones (Bus Powered).
    testdrive with other mics and a brandnew interface (TAPCO/Mackie Link.USB)
    result the same bad recordings at lowest level.
    1. Audio/MIDI configuration is set to the audio interface/s.
    2. System-Audio Preferences are set to the audio-interface/s
    3. Deleting the Audio/MIDI-preference-files within the Pref-Folder will take NO CHANGES.
    4. Application-Preferences are set to the audio-interface/s
    Thanks for any ideas.
    regards mike

    i've checked the different mics with phantom power turned ON (with new battery) To testdrive the mics i've connected and checked them all with my acoustic-amp. They are ALL working well there.
    next i've tried a brand new USB-Audio-Interface (with Mackie Preamps)
    connect it with my G5 and... got the same bad records like the cheaper TASCAM.
    Once more i think the G5 has an error - maybe the USB-ports?
    (I've tried every USB-port).
    Should i buy and try a FIREWIRE-interface?
