Songs play back in different volume levels

Some of my songs play back in different volume levels. How does one make the songs play back in the same volume. I know there's some setting you enable in itunes, but it's always enabled on my system. So why doesn't it work?

I know there's some setting you enable in itunes,
Do you know what this "some setting" is?
In iTunes, go to menu Edit -> Prefs - Playback.
Tick Soundcheck.
On the iPod, go to Setting Soundcheck and set to On.
Resync the iPod.
Note that Soundcheck is not foolproof and there may be some variances on the levels between songs.
You can use this application -> MP3Gain
to better analyze and adjust the levels of your songs.

  • 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.

  • Different volumes levels when I record tunes on a CD?

    There are different volume levels when I copy tunes from my I-Tunes library. I'm trying to make a Sinatra CD from my I-tunes library and some songs are loud, others I can hardly hear. There must be a way to overcome this problem, but I don't know what it is. Can anyone help?

    Repeating a post I made on another thread:
    iVolume claims to work with iTunes' Sound Check to play songs at the same volume. The iVolume FAQ says the adjustment will carry over to burned CDs & iPods, too. It will not work on Music Store downloads due to DRM.
    I've read people on this forum say it works pretty well. It's US$15.

  • 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!

    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.

  • Is it too much to ask from apple, an option for different volumes levels from different apps, including alarm, text, email, basically from every posible app?

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

    Turn on iTunes Sound Check, which you can do by going to Edit > Preferences > Playback and checking the box.
    Let us know if that does the trick.  If by any chance it does not, use the 3rd party program iVolume.

  • Playlist songs are at different volume levels

    I have created a playlist of songs from a particular group
    however when I play the list or burn a CD of the playlist the
    volume levels go up and down. How do I get them to play and
    burn a CD closer to the same volume level?

    Have you tried soundcheck? There is a sound check tick box in Edit>>Preferences>>playback.
    When you select a playlist for burning the is also a sound check tick box on the burn preferences popup.
    I haven't used either myself.

  • Songs play back too fast

    For some reason the songs seem to play back faster than they should. Any ideas?
    I even went on youtube and played the songs simultaneoulsy and it isnt just one song it seems to be that my entire itune library plays back faster than it normally would. Any ideas at all?

    For some reason the songs seem to play back faster than they should. Any ideas?
    How much faster? Have you timed the playback speed with a stop watch and compared the actual duration with the duration (Time) in the browser?
    If youtube plays back slower, it might be caused by the network.
    I have only seen this on iTunes for Windows so far - you are not by any chance on Windows right now, are you?
    Are you running the latest version of iTunes?
    And do you have any non-standard Audio devices installed - look at System Preferences > Audio > Output ?
    Did you install any Audio Drivers?
    Also look at the Audio Devices in Audio MIDI setup (Applications > Utilities):
    Check the Format for you output device if it is set to 441000 Hz (compare the setting to the sample rate you see on your songs in the iTunes Library).
    If this setting is wrong, iTunes may try to playback at the wrong speed.

  • Canvas window - video plays back at different speeds from the timeline. Why

    I've scanned 25 pages of topics but found nothing that mentioned this as a problem. When I play a sequence in the timeline, the video in the Canvas window slows down (and sometimes suddenly speeds up to catch up with the audio) About the audio, it sounds find regardless of how the video is playing back. if I hit the space bar to stop play back, the video snaps to the correct position.
    Any ideas why?
    Sometthings I've noticed : If I restart my computer, the video tends to play back fine. But if I leave the program open and use it alot, the play back problem happens over time. If I make the canvas window tiny (25% size), the video plays fine but at 50% - I get video speed changes. (audio, always good)
    Here is what Im using : The project is about 20 mins long. I have over 50 gigs of HD space (the Macs main drive) Im using FCP version 4.5 on a Dual G5. 2.5 GB of Ram.
    Well thanks to any one who respones.

    Does this happen in any other sequences within this FCP project? Or, for that matter, with any other projects on your FCP system?
    And, to confirm, your media is running off your system drive? That is, your machine has only one hard drive on it, correct? (Partitioned or not)

  • Multiple copies of music on iPad, and some songs play as a different song

    Hi,
    I've been having this weird problem that I have been looking into for many times and never have found a straight answer. 
    I've been finding that I have multiple copies of the same song on my Music (built-in) app on the iPad 2.  I don't know why it's been doing this.  Yesterday, I finally got a chance to restore my iPad 2.  After the restore, the same problem consisted.  Not only has that been happening, but I also have been having another weird problem with the music app too.  I have a song that I want to play , but it ends up playing a different song.   For example,  choose the song "we are the champions" or some song, and then it plays a different song like "We will rock you" or some other song. (it's not these songs, I don't have them in my library.  They are just examples) but it keeps the name.  So when the iPad "says" it's playing "we are the champions" it is actually playing "we will rock you" or any other song.
    Sorry if I haven't made this clear enough.  I tried the best I could.  I have never had this problem until I updated to iOS 5.  I am currently running iOS 5.0.1
    Is there any way I can fix this problem I have been having?  I already tried the restore.  I don't know what else to do.

    I'm not sure about the playing a different song when you choose a nother, but I Just figured out the multiple copies issue.I had been having the same problem and realize that some of the songs in that album were marked as "part of a compilation." SO i went to each individual song in that album and unchecked the box (when you go to th e"get info" screen) Hope that helps.

  • My ipod plays music at different volumes

    one song will play normal and then the next one will ether be louder or much more quiet.

    In Settings>Music is Sound Check ON?

  • Backing up different volumes to different disks

    Im going to try to explain this as best that I can.
    I've got an original 500GB Time Capsule that I would like to serve as the backup disk for my internal hard drive.
    I've also got an external FireWire drive that stores all of my media connected to my iMac that I'd like to be backed up to a 3TB USB disk that is attached to my Time Capsule.
    I'm pretty sure I've accomplished the first, I excluded my external FireWire drive from backups to the internal Time Capsule disk in System Preferences. Now, how do I setup the FireWire drive to backup to the USB disk attached to the Time Capsule?
    If Time Machine can do it, that'd be fantastic. If not, what software do I need to accomplish this?
    PS: never buy Western Digital drives, I've had three fail in 9 months, taking all of my music and movies with them. That's why I'm now a fanatic about backing up.
    I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction on this, before another disk starts its ritual "clicking."

    What disk is in the 3TB holder?? Unfortunately all the new TC have WD green drives.. those are the most common drives around.
    Time Machine cannot have multiple setups..
    You will need one of the other backup programs.. pretty well listed in lots of posts.. CCC (carbon copy cloner), SuperDuper, Chronosync. Any of those will do the job.

  • My 10G iPod-Volume Levels Erratic + Freezing...HELP!

    Admittedly, I have a 3 year old 10G iPod. But I'd prefer to getting it working well if I can instead of junking it for a new model. We've been through a lot together...ha ha
    The problem with mine is that the volume levels jump in-between songs pretty often. I will be listening to it on the bus and then suddenly a new song will start at a mind-numbingly LOUD level, even though I have not touched the pad. At first I attributed it to how albums are randomly mastered at different volume levels, but I generally make a point to equalize them before loading onto the iPod. I also have the sound check function clicked ON.
    Anyone heard of this problem? any suggestions?
    It will also freeze playing occasionally, even though the song timer continues to play out. I'd say this happens every 20 songs or so. What's that about?
    Should I try to revert back to factory settings? Or should I just throw in the towel?

    Hi, i bought my Ipod touch 8g last week, now, when i play my music ( without earphones ) the volume is very low even though it is on full, in fact its pretty useless, it was much louder, has anyone got any ideas please? Thanks.
    Maureen.
