Setting volume levels in a single track

How do I change the playback level of several seconds of a single track?

Good to hear that you were able to sort it out. It sounds as though you were really pushing up against the limits of the disk, so the window of opportunity for the break point would have been very narrow. If you want to experiment with the 8.5gb version again I would suggest guesstimating approximately where the middle of the project is and then scattering chapter markers in that general area. You should come up with one that is in the right place to make it work.

  • 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

    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.

  • 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.

  • Is there an Audition equivalent of volume leveling?

    Greetings!
    I spend a lot of time editing long interviews, and unfortunately the microphones in our studio are set to drastically different volumes (not something I can easily correct due to limitations in our board and the way the studio was built).  So I usually have to fix these differences in audio levels using extensive volume envelopes in Audition 2.0. I do this by either raising the track volume or clip volume, and then using the envelope automation points to dip where necessary.
    This can be really time-consuming, and it seems to me that there's got to be a better way.  I've tried using the multiband compressor built-in to Audition 2, but it sounds rather unnatural (a lot of "pumping" action) compared to using envelopes.  Hard limiting helps, but only to a certain extent -- again envelopes really get the job done more naturally (though it takes so long to do).  I've also tried to use The Levelator, but again it can sound artificial and rather compressed (pumping) at times.  Also, it does not appear to play well with music, if present during the interview.
    One option I've found interesting is Audacity's "leveller" function.  This effect makes quiet passages louder and loud passages quieter -- and it sounds more natural.  I understand that Adobe's Soundbooth has an equivalent "Volume Correction" function that can match the volume levels within a single audio clip.
    So my question is:  Is there an equivalent function in Audition 2.0 that can do this?  If not, are there an VST or DirectX plugins that can achieve this result?  Curious to hear your thoughts.
    Thanks in advance for your time!
    Sincerely,
    Stephen

    "our engineer says he has the mic inputs set as high as they can go"
    But according to AudioArts web site, the D75 has four mic preamps "as standard".
    That hardly seems to equate with the problem being discussed here especially given the quote above!
    Edit:  Checking again the web site, the input level range for the mic inputs is described as "Adjustable -70 to -31 dBu".  Is the output of those EVs not enough for these inputs?

  • Volume level

    is the only place to adjust the volume level of a selected "track" with those volume level lines. They seem to make such a little difference and it seems as though certain audio clips just cant even get loud. There must be a logical answer , i know it. Can anyone help?

    ok. I'll try, if you insist.
    You should be able to adjust the levels using the line within the tracks and by marking points and pulling the tracks up and down. This works fine for everyone - except, apparently - you.
    Perhaps your tracks are intrinsically not loud enough? In which case - and forgive me, but I'm not in front of my FCP computer right now - find the menu item called "normalise". It's in the latets evrsion of FCP, but I'm not sure if it's in earlier versions. By applying that you will increase the track level to the maximum, and you can then, perhaps find the feature within the timeline will work better for you.

  • Normalization of Music Volume Level on To

    I am wondering if there is a way that I can transfer my tracks to my player making the volume level constant between all tracks. I don?t think media source can? So, now with Play For Sure, is there something out there that will do this? Will Notmad?
    I don?t care if I have to transcode it's And is there something that will transfer .pls or .m3u playlists?

    which is actually gaining my music right in this moment.
    big advantage of mp3gain: it actually changes the files itself, so any player, wmp, winamp, mediamonkey or hardwareplayer will play in the correct volume.

  • When I set all the tracks in the latest Garageband to the same volume levels and save, when I open the file again they've changed back to a previous setting?

    I'm trying to mix a recording in the latest 2014 version of Garageband, but when I set all the tracks in the latest Garageband to the same volume levels and save, when I open the file again they've changed back to a previous setting? Does anyone know why it changes even after saving the file?
    Below is my iMac settings.

    Do you have a back up?
    If not you're into using file recovery software like  File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
    There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

  • "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.

  • How to adjust volume within a single track?

    I have recently purchased Logic Express 9 as I moved from a PC to MAC.If i record a single track, such as vocals, is there any way I can adjust the volume level at different places on that single track? I was able to do this very easily in Acid Pro. All I see in Logic is the ability to increase or decrease the track volume as a whole. Thanks!

    To add to the tips… Make your right tool the marquee tool in Logic. Now when you are in the vocal track and in automation mode, hold Command and you'll get the Marquee tool. Drag a box around the phrase you want to adjust, release command (returning to the pointer) and click on the selection. Now you'll have 4 nodes or handles. Drag the automation line up and down to taste. I manually "compress" all my vocal tracks with an automation pass using this trick.

  • 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???

    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.

    Just make sure

  • 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...

  • Fluctuating volume levels during a track

    'Ello. Has anyone else ever experienced the volume levels changing during a song? The only way I can describe it is it feels like someone's playing with the volume, lowering it for half a second before returning it to it's previous level. It only does it on a handful of tracks, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this? Could it be an earphone/headphone problem? Any help would be much appreciated. Rich

    I have Windows 8.1 and this only happens with Spotify, not Songza, Amazon Cloud Player, or Pandora. It started happening just in the last week and I have no membory of downloading any new software.  I've played with disabling/enabling on Spotify:- View > Hardware Acceleration- Properties> Music Quality> High Quality Streaming- Advanced Settigns> Crossfade tracks- Advanced Settigns> Set the same volume level for all tracks On my PC's Sound settings I checked "Do nothing" in Communications and I tried different options with Beats, which was included with my laptop. Sound does NOT fluctuate using the app on my phone, so I can only assume it's either my PC or the PC application. I believe I've tried everything listed in this topic, but posting again in a last ditch effort before I have to end my subscription :( 

  • How to fade in/out single track volume?

    I'm new to GarageBand, but shouldn't there be a slider or control for individual tracks?  The Help menu doesn't seem to give me info, nor does the Track menu.
    I just want to be able to fade tracks in and out - it's called mixing, right?  The fade line at the bottom (in purple) controls all the tracks...but isn't there a fade in/out control for single tracks besides setting the level for that track section?
    For instance, in the photo, below, the "Acoustic Guiter Rock Picking", highlighted,  is where I'd like to fade it in at the beginning and fade out at the end, while having the other tracks stay the same.  Advice appreciated, thanks.
    I saw in another post that there's a track slider in GB '11, but as I have '08, there seems to be no triangle to click.  Any workarounds?  Can't imagine why this basic feature wasn't in earlier version, if so.

    Looks like the answer was right under my nose.  I thought it only applied to later versions of GB, but the track option is in v. 4 (mine) too.
    Here's the simple solution:

  • 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

  • Can I have multiple volume levels in one track?

    I have a track composed of audio from a cassette recorder of a now deceased relative's voice.
    Since the cassette was turned on and off during recording, the recordings are at different volumes.
    I have been able to import the cassette into a GarageBand project, and delete dead space, but now I find that the volume is not consistent.
    Any way to remedy that? I am wondering if I need to chop it up and make more than one track, and adjust the volume on each track? Will this work as long as the tracks don't overlap?
    And then do I send the finished product to iTunes in order to be able to use it in an iMovie?
    Or can I drag it right from GarageBand to iMovie?
    Many thanks, I'm a very new GarageBand user.
