Software with volume levelling built

to save battery, off with the smart volume. but, i don't want to have to thumb up/down a lot, so do either the creative programs or any others have ability to adjust and level the volume of tracks before moving to the device? thanks!

It isn't this simple. MP3Gain is just one program that only affects MP3s. Creative would have to create a program for both WMAs and MP3s, along with the many other functions there software performs. As we have these utilities available anyway, it's not worth Creative tackling them as well really is it's No offence to Creative, but they do tend to make a half stab at things as well.

Exporting OMF with Volume Levels

My movie's done, I'm trying to export the audio as OMF files for my post guy to use on his machines at work.
Problem is that I can't figure out a way to export and leave my volume levels intact. We've done a lot of the mixing already, but according to Mr. Audio the OMF files I burned for him have all volume levels at 0, no deviation.
Can I export OMF with the volume controls using only Final Cut 5 or Soundtrack?
Next question is about Automatic Duck, a Final Cut plug-in that is supposed to solve my problem. I tried installing it and it seems to not want to work without a copy of After Effects on the same machine. Is there a way to load that plug in for just Final Cut and have it work?
Thanks

hey Mike
welcome to the FCP forum.
FCP5 does not to my knowledge export clip based audio gain or pan adjustment data in its OMF export ... you'll need something like Automaic Duck's Pro Export plug-in for that
if you already own Automatic Duck's fabulous plug-in then you should have no problem exporting your timline with (almost) all dissolves, keyframes and effects intact.
if you are having a problem then I can only guess you've bought the wrong plug-in ... you need the FCP Pro Export plug-in.
you'll be glad to know that Wes Plate, from Automatic Duck is a regular contributor to the forum so you can be sure you'll get the advice you need.

Problems with volume control, built-in speaker on HP ProBook

Hi
Recently installed Arch on a HP ProBook 4330s. Initially sound was working perfectly, but now I'm having problems with the built-in speaker.
Using alsamixer in the terminal, I can independently control the volume of the headphone jack and the speaker, but it seems like the speaker is linked to the headphone volume instead of the speaker volume. Thus raising the speaker volume in alsamixer has no effect on the speaker itself, which only outputs sound as long as the headphone volume is raised and the loopback box is checked. This also means that the speakers cannot be muted while using headphones.
I installed pavucontrol to see if I could gain any insight, but trying to select "Speakers" as output port seems only to have an effect the volume sliders in alsamixer. So no settings in PulseAudio UI could solve my issue.
I have googled wide and far, but haven't found anything helpful. I tried reoading kernel modules snd-hda-intel, snd-hda-codec-idt, snd-hda-codec-generic, but nothing changed.
Below is some info of my system. Please let me know if I need provide more. Any help is appreciated.

I do have all those packages installed. The volume controls were working perfectly for about 3 week, but now suddenly they are not behaving as expected. I don't know of any changes I made to my system that could have caused this. I suspected it might be a problem with the drivers, so I tried to find the appropriate driver at https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentatio … Models.txt
[frwdrik@frwdrik ~]$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 | grep -i codec
Codec: IDT 92HD87B1/3
But I cannot find this codec on that page.

Sound check (volume leveling) not working newest ipod

Dear Apple community,
Thank you for your help with this problem.
I am extremely disappointed with my new iPod. I have been using iPods for 15 years. Many years ago I solved the problem with volume leveling by using a fantastic program called iVolume. I have over 25,000 songs (collected over 20 years) in my music library and I have never had a problem with the different sound levels when I play them back through my various Ipods and Iphones over the years.
Unfortunately when I recently purchased the latest generation of iPod I quickly found out that volume leveling no longer works. The discrepancy in the sound playback is most apparent when I use the bluetooth connection but is also present even when I play through the audio jack. I have tried turning sound check on and off, and have done a complete reboot of my ipod, and have not seen any difference.
Any help with this problem would be most appreciated.
Sincerely,
David Rojer
Maplewood, NJ

Specs:
I am using a Mac with OS X version 10.9.4.
My Itunes is version 12.0.1.26.
My iVolume is version 3.7.4.
My Ipod is model PD478LL with version 1.0.3 Mac.

Nevermind I worked it out. Just had to restart iTunes. Classic IT Crowd: "Have you tried turning off and on again?". Lol.

RAID 5 raidctl -- operation not support with volume of this level

How can I make a RAID-5 with 6 disks?
raidctl -c -r 5 c1t2d0 c1t3d0 c1t4d0 c1t5d0 c1t6d0
Creating RAID volume will destroy all data on spare space of member disks, proceed (yes/no)? yes
Operation not support with volume of this level.
I'm not sure what the message "Operation not support with volume of this level" means or how to fix it.

Hi,
I presume you are trying to create a RAID volume on the internal disks of a Sun Server?
If so the LSI RAID controller chip may not support RAID5 in this server.
What is the model of the Sun Server Hardware you are trying this on?
You may also wish to post the output of "raidctl -S" to show us the particular LSI
RAID chip in use.

Unhappy with max volume level of ZEN NANO P

Does anyone know how I can increase the volume level of my Zen Nano Plus.
At the moment it goes to 25, but it is still quite low.
Is it something to do with the way the mp3s are ripped or can I change something on my MP3 player?
Thanks for your help!
Neil

As I stated in my earlier post, I don't have a Zen Nano Plus - I have a Zen Vision:M. Replacing the EU firmware with the US version has worked in this case - as it also did with my previous player (a 4GB MuVo^2). It has also worked with my friend's Zen Sleek Photo.
There is no real reason why the firmware will not work, as the player's hardware is the same in both territories. Therefore, I can only put the problem down to a problem with the firmware update.
Try replacing the battery with a fresh one (to ensure there is power) and follow the instructions on the <a href=http://us.creative.com/support/kb target=_blank>Creative KnowledgeBase[/url] for updating the firmware, as there is a recovery procedure outlined.
The Solution ID is 265 - you can also find it as number 7 on the 8 most common solutions after selecting the Zen Nano Plus from the list ("Updating firmware for MuVo N200 or Zen Nano Plus"). You will need to redownload the firmware updater program from the Creative US website if you have deleted it.Message Edited by Lokiz0r on 07-2-2006 0:03 PM

IPad Mini with Retina Display's Volume Down button sticks, have to press really hard to make it unstick and then decrease volume level. Anyone else seeing this issue?

When trying to press the physical down volume button on my iPad mini with Retina Display, it sticks making you have to press really hard before it unsticks then allows you to decrease the volume level. Not sure if this is a common issue and not sure if its worth a genius appointment but it does seem to be getting worse. Anyone having this issue or know a fix? Thanks

Thanks for letting me know, I will have AppleCare arrange a replacement rather than getting a new retail box. I find the replacements are usually better quality when it is a new product. The AppleCare team said they wouldn't be sending a refurbished/repaired handset this early which gives me some confidence.
My home button does feel different and definatley sounds different but from what people have said this is normal. Someone posted a video of their and it was the same as mine so I'm not concerned.

Creating CDs in Logic with proper volume levels

I took some songs off of both audio tape and CD, and combined them into 1 compilation. I originally recorded the audio tapes into logic, then bounced them as AAC files. Then I brought those AAC files, plus songs from commercial CDs into iTunes and burned everything to a CD. However, all the volume levels were mismatched....the more I read about iTunes the more it sounds like the program does not do a good job at evening out all the volumes. Is it possible to use Logic to do this, and even burn the CD within Logic...I assume Logic would have this capability based upon it sophistication, Im just not sure how to do it. Thanks!

Also, is there any way to measure the level of each track within Logic
double click on the region to open it in the Sample editor window.
There under Functions select Change gain...Search maximum
Have you tried using Waveburner?

I can not control volume levels with headphones

I tried lot's of models but none of them let me control volume levels. Since the xperia z 3 is a big phone and I carry it in my pocket all the time, sometimes it's really hard to reach the phone to lover or increase the music level. It's a big shame that sony doesn't think of it.... Please help me if u know any headphone models that allows volume control. Thnx

That's a great suggestion @viridis
@suffer666 you might want to consider smartweart, either a SmartWatch2 or SmartBand or SmartBand Talk or SmartWatch 3

Macbook Pro 15" volume level changes by itself

Hi all!
About a month ago I have upgraded my rock-solid Macbook Pro 15" (mid 2012) from Mountain Lion to Mavericks. All seemed fine (with the exception of some known annoyances with WIFI) until last week when all of a sudden the volume level started to change by itself. It started going up and down, turning mute and turning on again and so on, just like an invisible hand or a remote access have taken control of my machine (it wouldn't even let me change the the volume using the volume buttons while this weirdness is happening). This has never happened before. To make things worse, I have then upgraded to Yosemite and all seemed fine but then the weird volume changes appeared again and I now am stuck with no straight forward way of reverting all the way back to the original Lion (which worked perfectly since Mac purchase back in 2012).
Can anyone help?
I have googled for similar issues and have seen some answers (mostly not that relevant) including a thread on this forum suggesting to reset the SMC. I have tried that using the suggested key-combination press, but it did not seam to have solved the problem, as the volime changes continue when I least expect it.
Is this a hardware problem? If so, would a change of the keyboard resolve things? [ At some stage I thought maybe the problem was caused by the fact the I have fiddled a little bit with the keyboard by lifting the :; key (next to L and under P) and applying a bit of WD40 to clean a tiny spil of sugary liqid that caused the key to get sticky. But the volume keys are way far on top of keybord so my assumtion was/is that the volume changes would not be related to the cleaning. ]
is this a software problem? Some thread on similar (not identical) issues had suggested there are some bugs in soft and Apple is aware. For this reason I gave Yosemite a go but the problem continues. Would reverting to Lion sole the problem you think? [ Maybe I should ask here if anyone can suggest how to go about this downgrade as Option-Cmd-R key-combination press at start up does not give me the Interner Recovery scree anymore, but keeps taking me (just like Cmd-R) straight to the OSX Utilities where can wipe of the disk (which I did) and reinstall Yosemite only. ]
I would very much apreciate any replies that might help me solve this issue.
Many thanks
Ty

Low volume level on Audig

a few days back i found out that may Audigy2z card is not working fine.
i have low and distorted volume level on the analog output.
i tried re-installing all the software using clean boot on my machine, but nothing seems to work.
also ran a registry cleaner to remove all leftovers, just in case, nothing...
here some additional info:
WinXP pro, SP2
Soyo MoBo, VIA266 Chip

Any help will be highly appreciated

Hi
First of all you should not compare the sound level of the speakers with other speakers built in multimedia notebook.
As far as I know the notebook has been equipped with common stereo speaker as you can see here:
http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/products/computers/satellite/c665/psc55a-013008/specifications#details
This are not Harman Kardon speakers which are used in much expensive multimedia notebooks.
At the other hand you should also check the sound settings in control panel -> sound
You can click right on the playback tab to see if all sound level controls are set to the highest level.
But listen: my notebooks internal speakers are also not really loud but I use external sound speakers from Logitech to get a nice sound while gaming.
Would recommend using such external sound system.

1020 There is no lock for ringer volume level, but...

Earlier today I posted in this Community regarding the Subject issue. Received good reply and marked it as a Solution. Had additional thoughts so I'm doing this new Post. Same Subject as before. I had asked if it's possible to LOCK the ring volume, at 10 for example, it's loudest, so I can hear it ring no matter what. I've been unpleasently surprised several times when my ringer rings BUT the volume is much much lower, way too low (2 or 3 maybe), way lower from where I had set it, up at (10). So then, I immediately adjust the volume back to 10, where I want it to stay, always. The volume up and down rocker button works fine. Problem is, the unexpexted, surprising and unwanted way very low ringer volume that causes me to MISS SOME CALLS. I have four kids. As a parent, missing calls can be a SERIOUS matter. If I could LOCK my ringer volume at 10 then I'll be happier. For me, thr parent, this tricky too low ringer volume problem is more than an annoying tech glich. What causes this problem, you may ask? The volume goes down without wanting it to do that because that while the phone is unlocked and in any kind of use or even while it is in screen lock mode, the very handling of the phone will sometimes unintendedly, unknowingly, without noticing it, press the down volume part of the volume rocker buttom. After all, the down volume part of the rocker button is the located at the lower end of that rocker and is closer to the center of the phone and close to the power button. That's right where anybody normally holds and works the phone, right there. AND worse yet, it takes only a little bit of pressure to accidently push the down volume rocker button. No wonder the down volume button unwillingly gets pressed alot. Also, unwanted down volume change, by pressing of the volume button, can happen in many ways such as in a pocket, carrying it in your hand, passing the phone around, lots of ways. This unwanted down volume change can and does happen on the 1020 while calling, texting, using apps and even during the screen lock mode, and that is with or without the pass code feature enabled. Only time this can't happen is when the phone is completely off and dark. I've searched the posts and don't find anyone else saying this. That doesn't mean it's not a real problem, like for us parents and others. But I know that what I say is correct, to my knowledge, because today an MS WP Community Moderator and also a Lumina Community contributor agreed with what I'm experiencing. This problem has always happened with my 1020 and my previous 920 always did exactly the same type of low volume TRICK. No updates are causing this problem along the way. It's just now that I got fed up enough to confirm within the Communities that there is NO WAY TO LOCK THE RINGER VOLUME on the 1020. I'm ranting about it to you fellow Lumina users. If you experience this, if it bugs you, if you agree that it's more than a mere tech glich nuisance, that it's causing missed calls for family and business, then please post in on this Lumina Community and demand a fix for it. I'm not a phone software expert but I'll bet that a minor software tweek followed by an update, is easily possible. This fix SHOULD be good for existing Lumina models, not just for future ones. I'm gonna work this. It can happen more surely and quickly if those Lumina users who share my concern will post about it. This post is not a critique nor does it infer defects in software or phones. I just want to peel a layer off this onion.

As far as the phone is locked, the volume key will not function .. so this should not affect the volume level.

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

Volume level ZEN NANO PLUS, can it be chang

I have a new ZEN NANO PLUS that I have bought in Spain.
I?ve had this model before and I know that, because of the EU ruling ( **bleep** those bureaucrats! ), the volume level is not as loud as the model you can buy in the US.
A few people have suggested flashing the firmware and installing the US firmware, has anyone tried this, and did they have any success?
I downloaded the US firmware and tried to install it on my player but no luck, and the player died aswell, but I?m not sure if I did the correct thing...
If anyone knows anything about this any info would be greatly received.
Thanks in advance
Neil

You shouldn't have problem using both player together in MediaSource even in transferring audio files(non-protected content). Are you referring to being able to playback PlayForSure subscription content? I doubt it is possible(personal opinion) for the player since I believe it's more to do with the hardware rather than software.

Differing Volume Levels-- Can't Find Answers

I play my iPod and iTunes through my stereo at times. JVC 140 watt stereo. My volume control has a series of marks around it similar to a clock
When I play a CD or vinyl record, the volume control for adequate sound is just a few notches above the "minimum" indicator near the volume knob (barely at "7" on the clock)
When I play the same tune from my Powerbook or iPod, I must turn the volume control on my stereo close to the "8" or even more for good sound. If I turn the stereo to radio instead of my Powerbook music, the sound is so loud it almost blasts me out and I have to turn it down.
If I compare the original recording with the second generation, I can tell the second generation recording lacks the punch and power of the original. It seems to me that a duplication should be just that-- a duplicate of the original.
I am using HiJack Pro to record my tapes and records. I also have simply inserted CD's into my computer to record in iTunes with the same results.
I have not been able to find anyone who can answer this question.
My question is: is it reasonable to expect that a recorded song should have the same volume level as the original?
If so, then how do I do it?
Thanks!
17" 1.67 Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Neither the iPod or PowerBook have true line-level outputs so you will find connecting either of these in place of another device which outputs a higher voltage, gives a quieter volume. However, if you have a dock for your iPod, use the socket on that for sound and you'll find you get more volume.
On my PowerBook, I have created a custom preset within the EQ which just boosts gain. Solves the problem, although can occasionally result in distortion.
As for your encoding problem, an analogue 'copy' will rarely be perfect and relies on quality of cabling, software, but most importantly, the quality of digital/analogue/digital conversion. Which compression algorithm do you use? I can't stand the sound of MP3- even 192 is clear to me. AAC is far better to my ears and Apple Lossless, great- though results in too large file sizes for my purposes.
