Setting individual volume levels per song

If i set my song volume levels individually through itunes. When i transfer them to my iphone will they be set at that level?
Also if the songs are already on my iphone and i change each a volume level on one particular song through itunes. When i plug in my iphone to itunes will itunes recognize that i have changed that songs volume level and correct it on my iphone?

1. Yes. Sound Check is supposed to do as you suggest, but it mangles the sound sometimes. I avoid it for this reason.
2. Yes. Usually the tracks for a given album are balanced well against each other. If, for example, you know a particular album is quiet, you can select all tracks in the album and boost their volume.
I'm sure iVolume works well for lots of people. My experience wasn't good. I used iVolume over two years ago and it didn't work with my protected music bought from the iTunes Store. I used iVolume's recommended setting at the time (can't remember what it was), and it made everything much more quiet than the protected music. Perhaps its algorithm or default is better now. If you use it, test it on a few tracks and then play them next to your protected tracks...

  • Inconsistent volume levels from song to song

    Hi guys. I've lurked here for the past week now and I haven't seen this complaint so I figured I would ask. I'm getting what seems to be inconsistent volume levels from song to song. On one song 70% volume seems loud but on the next I can kick the volume all the way up and it's not as loud. I've noticed this on the phone and through my truck which has a hardwired Ipod adapter.
    I don't have the problem with the same library of tunes on my Gen V Ipod so I'm likened to believe it's a phone issue.
    The problem is very noticable on my motorcycle as you have to find a sweet spot for the music to be loud enough to hear but not so loud as to hurt your ears. Last night on an hour ride it seemed as if some songs came through loud and clear and others were barely audible over the bike.
    So anyone else? Other than this I have the typical problems with the low speaker/ headset volume and the Ipod software crashing when running Safari but I expected these things with a first gen product. Overall the phone is great and it's user interface makes my Ipod feel archaic. I'd put money on Apple releasing an Ipod in the near future with cover-flow and multitouch.

    Thanks guys... That was indeed the problem. In fact I remember fiddling with this setting a couple days after buying the phone and I turned it on to see what it did. Not having immediately noticed any difference I completely forgot about the setting and didn't think to check it.
    Problem solved.

  • Setting default volume level.

    I have a 2nd Gen Nano which I am using in my car. I have an OEM adapter which connects to the iPod through the dock adapter and allows the car's stereo controls to operate the iPod. (The stereo thinks it's a really big CD changer.)
    My problem is that the sound level from the iPod is significantly lower than that from either the radio or the actual CD changer, so when I have finished listening to the iPod I have to be careful and remember to crank the volume way down or else the radio blasts when I select a different source.
    Looking at the iPod I have made sure that the volume limit is set to maximum, and I am confident that I don't have a EU crippled unit since the sound level through the earbuds is plenty loud even at half volume and keeps going up from there.
    The thing is that when it first wakes up the volume level is always set to 50% on the slider. I cannot manually change the volume level when connected to the car because when it's connected to the adapter the iPod's controls don't work (besides it is mounted in a fairly inaccessible location), but I don't even know if doing so would help since it communicates with the stereo through the dock connector.
    My question is: Does the iPod's volume control have any effect on the signal level out through the dock connector, and if so is there a way to permanently adjust the default volume level the unit uses when it starts up? What I'd like to do is set the default volume level on the iPod to, say, 75% or whatever will balance it with the other source input levels that the car stereo uses. I tried adjusting the volume manually and then sliding the lock switch to 'Lock' but it didn't work.
    Thanks in advance.

    This sounds like the problem that I'm experiencing and <a href-"http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2694517#2694517">aske d about a couple of days ago. The sound level resets to 50% after shutdown.
    I tried setting the levels in Audio MIDI Set Up as suggested above, but that hasn't changed anything.
    In answer to B_web, I am running my external speakers through the headphone jack.
    So, any other suggestions?

  • Different volume levels on songs

    Hi
    Just a question on volume levels. My songs all seem to have different volume levels. How do get to play the songs at the same volume level?
    Thanks

    You could also right-click your song file or files that need to be louder, and then click on Get Info (right-click menu) then in that window click on the Options Tab, and there is a volume adjusting slider.
    Its what I use to raise the volume on my videos.
    Hope I helped.

  • Setting/Controlling volume levels

    I'd like to know what you guys do for volume levels.
    I have the system volume, iTunes volume, and my Bose volume knob.
    Basically, rather than worry about three volumes, I set my system volume and my iTunes volume to max, then just controll the overall volume with my Bose volume pod. This seems to work great.
    I don't want to spend my day worrying about 3 different volume levels:)
    Bryan

    That sounds like a good idea. No pun intended. I don't like to set my sound set up to max, because I think it does not give you the best sound. Whenever I use source sound without amp to max (like a walkman), I notice that receiver or a sound device has noise or static to it. I like to set the source to medium and play with receiver or speakers for adjusting volume.

  • 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.

  • Setting uniform volume level

    Is there a way in Pr Pro to set the volume of all clips to the same level aside from directly adjusting each clip's volume?

    You are correct, normalize sets the peak level of the clip to whatever value you select.
    This does not necessarily do what you want - a clip which is mostly fairly low level audio, with a single loud burst (eg a shot of a peaceful lake where a Mallard suddenly lets rip close to the camera) will not fit with other normalized clips taken at the same lake where there is just the usual background chatter of the waterfowl.
    In the first clip the duck's shout will be set at say -6 dB, whilst the background may be at -20 dB.  In the other clips, the background will be at -6 dB as this is effectively the peak level.
    What I usually do is use Audition to set the background level of each clip to the same value, and for the occasional overloud burst, selectively apply a cut in level to keep the peak within bounds.
    Beware also of the "pumping" effect that you get when automatic gain control is on in the camera - after Donald's outburst there will be a clearly audible short term drop in audio level.

  • "Sound Check" - Setting 1 volume level burning multiple tracks-iTunes7.1.1

    Hi,
    I've tried to get one playback level after burning many tracks onto 1 CD.
    I found the Sound Check option under Preferences/Advanced/Burning; but, I still get one or more tracks still out of level with others (a shock to one's hearing on playback).
    Any help to obtain the desired result would be much appreciated.

  • Fat Player volume levels

    Hi- I'm just wondering whether it's possible to set a volume level from source, individually for different songs in the Fat Player.
    In my present arrangement, the four audio clips are for very different instrumental combinations and have different volume levels. So putting them in 4 different QT players was great because I could pre-set the volume fader on each one, for the opening volume.
    I can see the advantages of the Fat player, but am wondering about this point.
    Kay.

    You can't set the volume for individual tracks in the player because it is using an XSPF playlist.
    In professional recording we set the output level of each track to be the same and push this to the limit using a multi band compressor.
    If your recordings are from different sources with different output levels, you need to load them into an audio editing application and reset the output levels to make them all the same.
    To avoid distortion, you will have to reduce the level to that of the track with the lowest one unless you have some fairly sophisticated mastering tools.
    The problem with applications like GarageBand is that people can make recordings without actually knowing anything about the subject!
    Recording techniques and tools have progressed a lot in the last few years. When ripping CDs and putting them on an iPod, I notice a large difference in output levels between old and new - even between new and new!
    Pop and Rock are usually pushed to the limit by the over enthusiasm of "sound engineers" whose clients want loud rather than quality.
    I was listening to an album by Alison Krauss recently. That's how recordings should be made and mastered! I compared this to Fleetwood Mac's Greatest Hits which, in technical terms, is horrendous.
    Loudness, volume and level are three different things and tend to be misused.
    Volume is passive and can only be cut.
    Level is active and can be boosted or cut.
    Loudness requires the manipulation of the individual frequencies.
    You probably don't want to hear all this but a basic understanding of sound and recording techniques will help you to get better reproduction on your website.

    Hi,
    I am trying to Set/Get Volume level of Input device which has only single channel but no master channel, then it fails to retrieve the kAudioDevicePropertyPreferredChannelsForStereo and intermittently kAudioDevicePropertyVolumeScalar for each channel. But this works well for Output device.
    So is there any difference in setting/getting the volume of input channels?

    That works but the the game will not be in full screen, it will have an empty strip at the bottom.
    I actually found out what's the problem. I traced the stageWidth and stageHeight during resizing event. I found out that when it first resized, the stage width and height were the size with the notification bar. So when I pass the stage into startling, myStarling = new Starling(Game,stage), the stage is in the wrong size. For some reason, I can only get the correct stage width and height after the third resizing event.
    So now I need to restart Starling everytime a resizing event happened. It gives me the right result but I am not sure it is a good idea to do that.
    And thanks a lot for your time kglad~I really appriciate your help.

  • Setting audio volume

    Hi,
    I can't figure out how to set the volume level of the audio I have dragged into the opening screens. The volume is always way too loud when I put the DVD in. I want to be able to match the volume of the content to what is in the main pages and chapter screens.
    Thanks,
    Lori

    You will need to change volumes in Soundtrack or other editor, DVD SP does not handle those changes...also if you encoded differently there can be volume shifts but it sounds like more than that...

  • How can a consistent volume level be set for all the songs in an iTunes library?

    The volume of the songs in my iTunes library varies significantly when played on my iPod.  Is there any way of setting a consistent/equal volume for the songs in my library so that I don't have to change the volume level when listening to my iPod?

    I have used the $30 iVolume utility to equalize my iTunes song's volume for several years and it works well. I just wish it worked for music videos.  iVolume is available on the Mac  App Store, or you can try before you buy at the developer's site: http://www.mani.de/en/ivolume/index.html

  • How to set volume levels in individual apps.

    I know on windows, you can set the volume for programs in the background, how do I do something similar to this on my mac?
    Best Regards,

    No, unfortunately.
    There is no  Volume Mixer / Windows  like utility available in OS X.
    Google it. I do not use any third party utility.
    Best.

  • Why is the volume level different from song to song in iTunes & on iPod?

    When I play back songs in iTunes and most of all on my iPod the volume level is different depending what songs I am listing to. The biggest problem is with the songs that I get from my CD’s because the volume is very low. Why does this happen and can I fix it? Thanks, Robert

    iTunes uses a feature called "SoundCheck" to attempt to equalize playback volume. There are actually 3 Sound Checks: 1 is for iTunes playback (set in Preferences), 1 is for iTunes burning (set on the Burn Disc dialog), and 1 is for iPod playback (in iPod Settings).
    Make sure they are all enabled.
    They are far from perfect, but they should help.

  • Which EQ setting + volume level is the most 'clear'?

    Hi
    Just got an iPod Classic this week (my first ever Apple Product other than iTunes). It's replacing a 30G player from another company from 2006 (ran out of room) that had really good sound. With a simple pair of JVC Marshmallow earbuds, the right mid-volume and the right EQ setting, I could hear all the musical instruments clearly and somewhat equally and the singer's voice was clear as well, as if we were in the same room.
    I'd like to recreate this with my iPod Classic but I've noticed the EQ isn't customizable (unless I'm missing something) and that with some of the iPod's EQ settings I can hear instruments clearly but the vocals sound muffled, almost like they're dubbed from another source. But there's other settings (Vocal) where the singer comes in clear but the instruments are muffled in that dubbed way. I've tried Flat and Off but results with those vary.
    My old player's EQ was set at a reverse of the iPod's Rock setting, lowest bars on the outside and highest in the middle. Is it possible to load an EQ setting like that from iTunes? If you can download a game, can you download an EQ setting?
    AND is there a certain volume level where that 'same room' clarity shines through? Anything lower than 11 out of 20 on my old player and it would lose that clarity (anything higher than 13/20 was too loud). 12 was just right. If that makes any sense.
    Or could it have something to do with how a song is ripped from a CD? Which is what my music collection started out as.
    I'm hoping someone can help and shed some light on this for me. I got it engraved so I can't exactly return it. haha

    Most audiophiles, switch off the iPod Classic EQ as it is crap, most probably designed by some team who like bubble-gum music. but if you must use, create a custom EQ presets
    read this forum

    But try not to boost up greater than zero db, the new iPod audio chipset don't like it, your music will sound like something from some Oriental Opera, of course, unless you like the metallic tin highs.
