Question about VOLUME LEVELS for BURNING...

when i download music from the itunes store, the volume levels sound fine when i play them from itunes or the ipod. but when i burn the albums to CD, the volume is significantly LOWER than other audio CD's. the same is true when i burn them in mp3 format. does anyone know how to adjust the sound levels (turn them up) when i burn the albums, or is this a common problem with music downloaded through itunes? i don't encounter this when i copy directly from an audio CD and burn to another. someone HAS to know something about this. it's really frustrating. help me out, friends.
Dell E1505 Windows XP

With all due respect, I have burned alot of CDs with soundcheck checked and the recipients of my 'mixes' all complained. I noticed it as well. Perhaps there is another place where user checks soundcheck...?
I know soundcheck can make playing disparate tracks in itunes level, but that does me no good for burning.
Thanks for the reply.
PS: here are reviews I read re: ivolume. I have no idea whether or not they reflect the views of others, but they do exist (source: http://www.macupdate.com/reviews.php?id=12687&pid=142223). I hesitated considering ivolume because some of the problems seem to be linked with itunes 7, which I use.

Question about volume level automation (GB newbie here)

I know how volume level automation works for the master track, i.e. in and out and such, but can you do this with a single track? basically one of the tracks in a song I've recorded has a bit of hiss at the end of it, which I would like to fade out. I've tried to cut that bit out completely, but it ruins the feel of that particular track, so I was wondering if there was a way to make that track fade out.

on the right end of the row of buttons just under the track name, there is a triangle. click it and the automation of the track will become visible. you can automate volume and pan using points on the line that runs throgh the timeline.
before you start playing with complex curves, make sure you've got the level of the loudest part set to where you want it using the slider - otherwise, you'll have to adjust each point on the automation curve to adjust overall volume... that's troublesome (if someone has a work around/key command i'd love to hear it!).

Can i change the volume level for just a part of a track?

i am trying to raise the volume level for just a little section of a track without raising the volume for the whole track, just a one little section. can i do that on garage band? how would it do that?

Yes you can
On the track instrument selector, there is a row of small buttons, one being an upside down triangle. Click the triangle to display Automation. The default controller is Track Volume. You will see a bright green line which is the volume level throughout the track..
Simply, go to the location where you want to reduce the volume, click on the green line to insert a control point. The first click is used the maintain the current volume. Go to the point where you want the volume to be reduce to, and click-and-hold the line and drag the new control point to the target volume.
NOTE: Use the Shift key to adjust incremental amounts.
Have fun!!

Questions about Feature Licenses for 1800, 2800, 3800, 2900, 3900 series ISRs

Hey all,
I have a question about feature licensing for Cisco ISR 1800, 2800, 3800, 2900 series. I know there are differences between all of the series. My main question which applies for all the Cisco ISR series is this:
"If I want to upgrade the IOS to a newer version and upgrade from the basic feature set, do I need to get a license from Cisco? "
If yes:
And if so, how do I go about purchasing a license? Is a support contract needed?
Again, I need to know for each Cisco ISR series. I'd appreciate any help on this.
Thanks,
John

You probably want to reach your SE/AM about this so they can explain you exactly how this works, maybe some sales material, or you can also reach pre-sales.

Setting default volume level for Java Desktop

Hello,
I am running Sol 10 11/06 for sparc. How do I permanently set the default volume level for the Java desktop? If I change the volume manually and "save settings" on logoff, the saved setting is not saved after a reboot, after which I have to set it again.
Thank you......

Annoying, isn't it?
Unfortunately the only thing you can do is lower your system volume before opening those pages. The volume could be controlled by the Web page author but most are clueless.

Export All Tracks as Audio Files ? about volume levels.

1. Do you export with each track at the volume level in the mix?
2. Or do you set the CS volume faders at 0.0 to get the maximum signal?
The first option allows me to recreate a mix with the volume levels already set.
But the second option gives me audio files at original record levels so that I can create a different sounding mix, or use audio regions in another project, setting levels as needed.
What's the better approach???

CSeye wrote:
I just started exploring Export Tracks to Audio and had the misconception that whatever fader & pan positions were set in the mixer would be rendered in the export. Good to know that Bounce is the way to go if that's needed.
Just be sure to UN check the 'include volume and pan info' esp if someone else is gonna mix for you
On the other hand for archiving purposes including fx and pan and vol is a failsafe way of doing things
My question is really about two situations: The most important one is archiving/future proofing a project, and the other is how best to share a mix with a collaborator.
Good information.
Best
Just make sure

What about volume leveling :(

I've scrapped three CD so far.
How this option works? if it's work.... I will return to JukeBox soon...
I only want that all the tunes I burn on a CD are at the same volume. With Media JukeBox it was so simple and always right.
What's the problem with iTunes? Besides it can't burn continuous live CD.
Who developed this scrap?
Oh, I know... a dumb Mac user?

It does'nt work to check "Use Sound Check" on the burning. Stop saying that to people...
That's funny, because it works for me. Volume levelling is what Sound Check does. That's the whole point.
I encoded an home-made CD in mp3. I checked the volume leveling in both Playing and burning menus. I burned another CD... and no volume leveling... it's the same as the original CD : some songs are to high, and some are too low, like the original CD.
In the "Get Info" window for the songs you're wanting to burn, look at the first tab. Does it have a number listed next to the "volume", like 3.4 dB or what have you?
If it does, then yes, it most definitely works.
If it doesn't, then iTunes has not scanned that song yet. Restarting iTunes usually does the trick to get it into scanning mode for me.
If the SoundCheck volume levelling doesn't satisfy you, well, sorry, there's no other way to do what you want using iTunes. I suggest using some other program to burn. Perhaps Nero or foobar 2000 with the ReplayGain volume adjustment mode will be more to your liking.

Ideal ipod volume level for vehicle use?

what is the ideal volume level to have your ipod at when used in your vehicle, considering volume control would then be controlled from the vehicles head unit? clear signal and sound quality are my concern. thanks.

It depends on far more information than you are giving.
How is it connected up to to the head unit?
Eith some connections, teh volume of the iPod is self is irrelevant and makes no difference.
I have mine connected thru a cassette tape adapter.
I set the iPod to about 2/3 way up. This seems to eliminate any distortion/static caused by the head unit trying to amplify too small of a signal (thereby boosting the noise also).

Is TV2 suposed to recognise iTunes settings(eg. start, end, volume level) for music videos ??

I am trying to run music videos from iTunes to AppleTV2. But any of the settings I have made in iTunes agnats the music video (eg. Video start time, stop time, volume level) don't seem to be recognised by TV2. Is this correct ? If so, how do I control varying volumes levels when playing via TV2 ?

I have this problem on occasion, below the song title and progress bar there are two symbols tap them 1 at a time and restart not sure witch one but one of them does this. I think the other causes the song to loop

A Question About Volume

I've been staying up late for a few weeks finishing up 8 songs that I've composed that I'm going to burn to CD's for Christmas gifts for the family (they'll be my captive audience...now, they'll HAVE to listen to my songs).
Presently, they sound fantastic. I've been listening to them through iTunes and they are ready. But, I'm wondering about the volume. I had set the master volume in GB at 0.0db and with Bose headphones and iTunes up as high as it goes, the songs really sound wonderful. There is no earsplitting nausea happening with the higher notes and the low sounds are deep without causing my inner organs to collapse. I'm loving it.
However, I'm clueless as to how to make sure the volume setting is correct for a CD. This sounds good to me, but is there a rule of thumb to follow for songs intended for a CD?
I've read about clipping Right now, there is no clipping at all. But, should I set the volume higher than 0.0db or leave it there?

So, in a nutshell, what you're telling me is that I'm taking TippyToes on the path to being a sound geek? That'll work for me.
I'm making a sound flow chart index card to stick on my desk. I truly do appreciate all of your patient advice. That little index card with be the first of my sound study. It's very confusing though. The necessary combination of Art with Science. I didn't know it would get that difficult. But, I definitely see how imperative it is to understand. I admire all those who do. It's an interesting science. Without it, the Art has to be hand carried to everywhere it is to go. With it, it can travel to the far reaches of outer space in a rocket ships CD player slot. Art can be destroyed by a bad application of the Science, and most importantly enhanced with a well thought out consideration of it. My geek thing is kicking in. It feels weird though. It's something entirely alien for me to look at scientically.
Ummagumma? I would not worthy to scrape the gum from under the seats after a concert.
While on the subject of sound, what do you think of my thunder roll before the timpani hits in "The Window"? You're "messing with it" advice inspired me to mess with the timpani to get a thunder without having to spend a night auditioning thunder .wav files. The timpani "thunder" is just what I wanted, but now I'm worrying if it's too loud via meters and such. It's loud, but I was able to turn the sound up as high as it goes in iTunes/my computer without it being so loud as to being damaging and I tested it on myself through headphones...which was dumb, because I don't think it's so wise for me to work ambiant/electronica/avant garde kind of music through headphones AND be a finger klutch with the keyboards. Ever try deleting/trashing a song in iTunes with the headphones on and the volume as high as it goes? It's not fun. If you don't know, don't try. Just believe. So, because I've made too many mistakes...like an AU I tried that was OMG...so bad, that I know that I had God and many sound Angels holding my eardrums in place to keep them from instantly bursting because it should have. That it didn't, gives me another chance to hear birds sing. But, to hear those little nuances of a note when a filter's been applied can be so subtle that it's difficult to distinguish a hum or a buzz on the track from the hum of the refrigerator, high tension wires or cicadas. So the headphones help isolate the sound to hear it purely as it is. Which, with Electronica/Ambiant music I am making myself, with all it's home made sounds and such and software instruments, which aside from my piano, is all I ever use can be risky on the hearing. Some of those AU's, when auditioning them on the fly with headphones and not knowing what to expect...like clicking on a preset and OMG! It's dangerously loud! I think, that what I need to do is audition ALL my presets one of these days...without the headphones...and delete any presets that is one click away from permanent deafness. I owe it to myself to be kind. I really love the freedom and creativity that Electronica/Ambiant music allows me...as a raw green amatuer...but I need to create an oasis of safety for myself. I never realized just how powerful these AU's are until having played around with some of them.
I've let my thoughts run away from me...too far. I still have a lot of other Christmas gifts to work on.
I'll shut up now.

PXI 2527 & PXI 4071 -Questions about EMF considerations for high accuracy measurements and EMF calibration schemes?

Hi!
I need to perform an in-depth analysis of the overall system accuracy for a proposed system. I'm well underway using the extensive documentation in the start-menu National Instruments\NI-DMM\ and ..\NI-Switch\ Documenation folders...
While typing the question, I think I partially answered myself while cross-referencing NI documents... However a couple of questions remain:
If I connect a DMM to a 2 by X arranged switch/mux, each DMM probe will see twice the listed internal "Differential thermal EMF" at a typical value of 2.5uV and a max value of less than 12uV (per relay). So the total effect on the DMM uncertainty caused by the switch EMF would be 2*2.5uV = 5uV? Or should these be added as RSS: = sqrt(2.5^2+2.5^2) since you can not know if the two relays have the same emf?
Is there anything that can be done to characterize or account for this EMF (software cal, etc?)?
For example, assuming the following:
* Instruments and standards are powered on for several hours to allow thermal stability inside of the rack and enclosures
* temperature in room outside of rack is constant
Is there a reliable way of measureing/zeroing the effect of system emf? Could this be done by applying a high quality, low emf short at the point where the DUT would normally be located, followed by a series of long-aperture voltage average measurements at the lowest DMM range, where the end result (say (+)8.9....uV) could be taken as a system calibration constant accurate to the spec's of the DMM?
What would the accuracy of the 4071 DMM be, can I calculate it as follows, using 8.9uV +-700.16nV using 90 days and 8.9uV +- 700.16nV + 150nV due to "Additional noise error" assuming integration time of 1 (aperture) for ease of reading the chart, and a multiplier of 15 for the 100mV range. (Is this equivalent to averaging a reading of 1 aperture 100 times?)
So, given the above assumptions, would it be correct to say that I could characterize the system EMF to within 8.5uV+- [700.16nV (DMM cal data) + 0.025ppm*15 (RMS noise, assuming aperture time of 100*100ms = 10s)] = +-[700.16nV+37.5nV] = +- 737.66nV? Or should the ppm accuracy uncertainties be RSS as such: 8.5uV +- sqrt[700.16nV^2 + 37.5nV^2] = 8.5uV +-701.16nV??
As evident by my above line of thought, I am not at all sure how to properly sum the uncertainties (I think you always do RSS for uncertainties from different sources?) and more importantly, how to read and use the graph/table in the NI 4071 Specifications.pdf on page 3. What exactly does it entail to have an integration time larger than 1? Should I adjust the aperture time or would it be more accurate to just leave aperture at default (100ms for current range) and just average multiple readings, say average 10 to get a 10x aperture equivalent?
The below text includes what was going to be the post until I think I answered myself. I left it in as it is relevant to the problem above and includes what I hope to be correct statements. If you are tired of reading now, just stop, if you are bored, feel free to comment on the below section as well.
The problem I have is one of fully understanding part of this documenation. In particular, since a relay consists of (at least) 2 dissimilar metal junctions (as mentioned in the NI Switch help\Fundamentals\General Switching Considerations\Thermal EMF and Offset Voltage section) and because of the thermo-couple effect (Seebeck voltage), it seems that there would be an offset voltage generated inside each of the relays at the point of the junction. It refeers the "Thermocouple Measurements" section (in the same help document) for further details, but this is where my confusion starts to creep up.
In equation (1) it gives the expression for determining E_EMF which for my application is what I care about, I think (see below for details on my application).
What confuses me is this: If my goal is to, as accurately as possible, determine the overall uncertainty in a system consisting of a DMM and a Switch module, do I use the "Differential thermal EMF" as found in the switch data-sheet, or do I need to try and estimate temperatures in the switch and use the equation?
*MY answer to my own question:
By carefully re-reading the example in the thermocouple section of the switch, I realized that they calculate 2 EMF's, one for the internal switch, calculated as 2.5uV (given in the spec sheet of the switch as the typical value) and one for the actual thermocouple. I say actual, because I think my initial confusion stems from the fact that the documenation talks about the relay/switch junctions as thermocouples in one section, and then talks about an external "probe" thermocouple in the next and I got them confused.
As such, if I can ensure low temperatures inside the switch at the location of the junctions (by adequate ventilation and powering down latching relays), I should be able to use 2.5uV as my EMF from the switch module, or to be conservative, <12uV max (from data sheet of 2527 again).
I guess now I have a hard time believeing the 2.5uV typical value listed.. They say the junctions in the relays are typically an iron-nickel alloy against a copper-alloy. Well, those combinations are not explicitly listed in the documenation table for Seebeck coefficients, but even a very small value, like 0.3uV/C adds up to 7.5uV at 25degC. I'm thinking maybe the table values in the NI documentation reffers to the Seebeck values at 25C?

Seebeck EMV needs temperature gradients , in your relays you hopefully have low temperature gradients ... however in a switching contact you can have all kind diffusions and 'funny' effects, keeping them on same temperature is the best you can do.
Since you work with a multiplexer and with TCs, you need a good Cold junction ( for serious calibrations at 0°C ) and there is the good place for your short cut to measure the zero EMV. Another good test is loop the 'hot junction' back to the cold junction and observe the residual EMV. Touching (or heating/cooling) the TC loop gives another number for the uncertainty calculation: the inhomogeneous material of the TC itself..

I have put 1 piece of music on my movie and it is ok but when I put a second piece on later in the movie I am unable to work with it. Even though I have dropped volume levels for speech it doesn't move. Any ideas ?c

I am using iMovie 11 and have put down a piece of music which is fine. I have done all the adjustments that I needed so far. My problem is that i wish to add another piece of music and whilst I can move it on to the timeline I am unable to control it. I have no adjustments on the track like the earlier piece. Full volume only. Any ideas ?
