Some songs volume seems low

Hello,
just got the new 30Gb iPod and some of the song's volume won't go very high
I put it all the way up but it's probably not loud enough for a busy train or next to the highway where there's ;lots of ambienmt noise. Other songs are really loud , so what's happening?

This sounds like a problem with the recorded files.
Your best method is to run all of these files through MacMP3Gain, a graphical Mac OSX interface to the MP3Gain/AACGain software. It is best to make a playlist with your entire library in it, and use the program to process that playlist.
If you find that the volume is not loud enough, you may want to increase the target value to above 89dB. About 100dB should be your maximum, as distortion will occur above this level.
You can use iTunes' built in Sound Check feature, but this is probably inappropriate as it tends to reduce the volume of the louder files to match the level of the lower files. Some people have reported horrible distortion using this function also.

  • Song volume too low at 100%

    Other than the volume slider under the song info window, is there a way to increase the volume of recorded mp3s? I recorded some audio mp3s but the volume is lower than my other songs even after increasing it to 100%. Thanks.

    you could give iVolume a shot.
    happy new year !

  • Siri volume seems low - any way to increase it?

    I just got a new iPhone 5 today and am trying Siri for the first time. It seems to work ok, but the volume of Siri's voice seems quite low to me.
    The speakers on the iPhone 5 itself are ok because I can play music in iTunes very loudly, so it's not the general volume settings or the speakers. It seems to be just Siri's voice.
    Is there any way to increase Siri's voice volume?
    Thanks,

    Never mind. I see. Siri simply has it's own volume and you can adjust it while in Siri itself. It was set low by default.

  • Song volume really low?

    Hi, I'm using a presonus firebox firewire interface to record vocals, guitars, etc. My song soungs great, the only problem I have is that now that I'm done I've compressed it and everything and I have to turn my speakers up to 80% to be able to hear it. The master volume is all the way up in garageband and the track levels are normal or higher, and I have the box checked in preferences where it says "export at normal loudness" or whatever. Any ideas? Thanks!

    I really like my M-Audio Solaris, a nice, warm sound. Clear. Excellent gain compared to a Shure SM-57. M-Audio has condenser mics that are cheaper, but I am not familiar with their sound. The Solaris has more features, which may account for the expense. Compare the specs, especially the range, if you are interested.

    Hello Tutanium,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    I had a couple thoughts about the symptoms you are describing and found an article that should help you resolve the issue.
    It is one of our iPod Troubleshooting Assistants found here http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    Choose the model you have from the ones available, and follow the troubleshooting therein.

  • Hey why does some songs seem to be louder then others?

    Hey why does some songs seem to be louder then others? This is mostly noticeable between downloaded vs Imported cds..  Or is it my imagination?

    It isn't your imagination, you'll find that older recordings have lower gain and will sound softer. You can use sound check to somewhat balance this out if you want.

  • How do you increase/decrease volume on an iTunes song?  Also, some songs get cut off before they are over.

    This is in reference to Follow Up 286560206; under the control tab on "Libraries" the drop down indicates that a song can be increased in volume by pressing ctrl + up and decreased by pressing ctrl + down, but no matter how I try it nothing happens.  Also, some songs get cut short, and once I saw an option on how to lengthen the play time on a song, but I can't remember how to get back to this screen.  Thank you.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • Convert to lower bitrate hangs on some songs

    I recently had to restore an iPod classic. While syncing, I told it to convert all songs to lower bitrate (128 kbps). I've performed  this operation before without mishap, but this time, some songs appear to take MUCH longer to convert (on the order of day for an individual song). At the moment, it has restarted a sync, and it's working on song 5 of 18000. Songs 1-4 went at a normal rate, but song 5 has been working for 2 hours, with my processor (2 core i5 w/ HT) working at 300% on the iTunes process.
    If I remove the song in question (something titled "Intro"), iTunes proceeds along, and hangs on another song in a similar manner. If I uncheck the requirement to convert to lower bitrate, the sync proceeds normally and all of the songs make it onto the iPod.
    Is this a problem with iTunes 11? Or should I be looking at an issue with my individual files? My library is composed of a variety of formats, from 128kbps iTMS files to ALAC CD-rips. If I can avoid it, I'd like to avoid converting the whole library down to 128 or 256kbps AAC and then dealing with duplicates. Any advice?
    Thanks,
    Dustin

    Is there a batch process that runs in the evening? Perhaps that ends up cleaning out the data from the buffer cache, turning logical I/O's into physical I/O's early in the morning.
    Can you check the statistics on the table before the process starts and after you re-gather statistics? Perhaps there is a nightly process that is altering the statistics at an unfortunate time or in an unfortunate way.
    The previous poster's comment about getting a trace file is excellent as well-- whatever your session is waiting on will be apparent in the trace.

    We want you to be able to enjoy all your music! Were all the songs downloaded from the same source? Are all the songs that play at the low volume from the same place? Is the music you are listening to stored on your device or a 3rd party application?

    I called Apple and spoke with a customer service representative regarding this issue. I was given the two things to try, and if they don't work, I was told I can call back in:
    1. Go to iCloud.com and look at the advanced options. Since Photos can be deleted here, the representative thought there may be an option to remove songs here as well.
    2. Go into the library that has the songs that were deleted and click Update iTunes match.
    I tried #1--this didn't resolve the issue, as there is no option to remove songs this way. I can't try #2 right now since I'm at work, but if anybody else with this issue can try that step it can help us get the ball rolling on it. After I try that, I'll call Apple back to discuss this further.

  • Really need some help with this low earpiece volume issue.

    I'm taking my iPhone to an Apple Store Genius tomorrow to check out the low volume in the earpiece. Has anyone else taken their phone in to an Apple Store and had the issue addressed? Are Geniuses just saying it is within spec? Has Apple published an article on this?
    I realize that people are also frustrated over the low speakerphone volume, but the low volume in the earpiece is particularly concerning.
    While traveling down the road it is very difficult to hear the person on the other end of the phone when using just the earpiece (no earbuds, no BT headset). The volume while using the earbuds is plenty loud.
    Can anyone please shed some new light on this? I have had my iPhone for one week and I've got a bad feeling in my gut that this is a hardware issue and the earpiece speaker can't go any louder. Bummer.
    (Obviously, all of my volume settings are maxed out).
    -Joe

    When the iPhones were first released, some people reported on their posts that they were able to take them to the Genius Bar, have a tech test it out, the tech would agree that the volume sounded low, and get their phone swapped right away. Unfortunately, there is no cut and dry answer because people have reported all sorts of different things- that the various software updates have fixed their volume, messing with the volume setting within iTunes, etc.
    Personally, I think it is a software glitch. Why? I did this: I was playing the iPod without the earbuds and the volume was only set midrange. I covered the speaker on the bottom, cranked up the volume, and the sound coming out of the receiver was MUCH louder than it ever is when I am using the iPhone on a call. That to me indicates that the low volume it just a glitch that can be fixed, because it CAN obviously sound louder, just within a different function. Hope that makes sense.
    Good luck tomorrow.
