Sound Check and audio levels

My Ipod touch will not let me change the audio settings.  Before I upgraded to the latest os for my ipod touch I used sound check and the levels of my music was mostly the same, now it is all over the place and I can't seem to fix it.  I will gladly take any advice on this please.

I have the same problem when disconnecting my Cintiq Companion Hybrid but its very intermident as if you continue to connect and discount it you can get it working again. Also the keyboard and track pad and cut out when you first plug it in, but have found that by keeping the trackpad active (moving your finger on it) while it goes to mirrored screen mode, it can help keep both working.

    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 running on? Can we assume that this audio plays back OK
    on the same computer when you are using a computer player independent of Premiere Elements?

  • Equaliser, Sound Check and Volume make no difference to the Shuffle!

    Hi there
    I want to boost the volume of my First Generation iPod so it will sound pretty good on my passive speakers.
    However, I notice that adjusting the volume on the iTunes file and adjusting the equaliser makes no difference when playing the shuffle back!!
    Also Ive discovered along the way that, although there is an option for sound check, it does nothing either!!
    Why put a 'Sound Check' box in the option if it makes no difference?!
    Also, how can I boost the output of my shuffle. I cant seem to get the shuffle to 'read' tracks I have modified!
    Tc

    You didn't mention adjusting the volume using the control button on the front of the shuffle. I'd expect you'll need to run it up to maximum. Even then, I have my doubts about how much volume you'll be able to get out of even mini desktop passive speakers, although I know they're sold.
    If you tried enabling Sound Check (both in iTunes and the shuffle's settings) and adjusting the volume in the song's Info/Options, I wouldn't expect an audible difference since they'd work to cancel each other out.
    I've never tried the equalizer at all, but in the past I've used the volume adjustment in a song's Info/Options to adjust for differences between songs. It worked for me, for that purpose. I haven't tried it as an overall volume boost, though.
    A utility like MacMP3Gain does a bit better job of normalizing song to song volume than Sound Check, to my ears. I haven't included a link to the program, since this board has disallowed that in the past. It's pretty easy to find, though.
    That said, these days I'm just using Sound Check and from time to time tweaking the results with the shuffle's front button. But that's a different application than yours.
    Good luck

  • Sound check and normalization

    when i play mp3 with winamp (sorry guys, but my most favourite player) or edit the tag infos, i can see the normalization infos of itunes (itunnorm 78978977879) and not my infos!!!!!!!!!
    i tried 2 disable this funktion in itunes, but on every restart itunes begins 2 analyse all tracks again....
    how can i turn off the sound check funktion?

    First, I would consider leaving it on, and to stop using Winamp. Winamp shouldn't display this info, and if it is, then it's Winamp's bug. You might be able to stop Winamp doing this by using iTunes to Convert the ID3 tags on your MP3's to v2.3 tags. Right click the track in iTunes and tell it to convert the ID3 tag. If that works, you can do it on the whole library at once (CTRL-A to select all, then same thing).
    But, you can disable SoundCheck entirely by turning off Sound Check in the Preferences screen AND by turning off the "Use Sound Check" on the burning preferences tab as well. Both of them must be turned off or it will scan your files for volume level information.

  • Sound Check and Alarm

    What does the "sound check" option actually do. It appears to just limit the volume, but how does it know what volume to which to limit?
    Also, is there any way of making the alarm BEEP louder?

    What does the "sound check" option actually do. It appears to just limit the volume, but how does it know what volume to which to limit?
    Audio CDs are mastered differently, so you may have discrepancies in volume between songs on different albums.
    You can use the soundcheck feature to standardize the volume of all the songs in your music library.
    Apply it in iTunes using the edit/preferences/playback menu (Windows).
    iTunes/preferences/playback (Macs).
    Turn it on on the iPod using the settings/soundcheck/on menu.
    After applying it in iTunes, sync your iPod to reflect the changes made.
    There are 3rd party programs that do this more effectively (at least in my opinion).
    For Macs there is iVolume.
    Also Macmp3Gain.
    Also, is there any way of making the alarm BEEP louder?
    Not as far as i know.

  • Sound off and audio/video apps blocked

    For a few days I have a very weird problem. After a few hours of using the computer (4-5, I leave it on when I go to work so I can stream my music), everything related to sound is dead.
    For example, mpd dies without any errors written in the error log. If I try to restart it doesn't work. It just hangs with no errors. Also, if I try to open a flash video in any browser, the browser just hangs on with no errors. I even tried to open amarok from the shell and just hangs with no errors.
    The problem disappears after I reboot the computer, so I think it's something related to the sound driver. I have a Creative Audigy SE card.
    I'd like to be more explicit, but I don't know what and where to look for logs. Maybe next time it happens I'll put here some logs if someone gave me a hint.

    Don't seem like a hardware failure to me (at least little probable). I'm experiencing the same problem.
    As long as I can remember I've got this one at one point in the past too, but back then I haven't got much time to investigate and after some updates all have sorted out itself.
    I also don't think it's a client problem since the hang happens with both mpc and sonata on my setup. Also mdp (runned as --verbose --no-daemon --stdout) says:
    interface 0: process command "status"
    interface 0: command returned 0
    interface 0: process command "currentsong"
    interface 0: command returned 0
    interface 0: process command "play"
    Bang! Nothing more at this point: no actions calls, no events, no more infos. Although after a couple of minutes or after killing mpd there's added:
    interface 0: command returned 0
    interface 1: opened from 192.168.0.3
    interface 0: process command "status"

    and experienced it previously on some via and cmi. I hope someone will come with solution soon. I mean—it's getting bad on my listening addiction .
    Oh! I forgot to mention that I've tried both specifying "device" and leaving it out in "audio_output".

  • IOS 5 Sound Quality and Sound Check issues

    So since upgrading my iPod to iOS 5 the sound quality of my music has deteriorated massively and sound check no longer works as it should.
    Tracks sound crackly and audio volume will remain balanced for a few tracks when sound check is on, then all of a sudden become completely unbalanced and all over the place. My iPod is only just about useable, it's a bit of a disaster that its main feature doesn't work as it should.
    Everything else in my iOS5 works as it should.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Richard.

    Since I bought iPhone4 and listened my songs with "Ipod app" and external speakears I was amazed how brilliant, sharp, intense, clear, perfect bass, perfect trebble the sound was, there was no distortions or saturations ever... The sound quality was just PERFECT with the equalization OFF!!!  Not remember if I had SoundCheck ON before but now it doesn't make any difference. I installed iOS 5 over 4.3.1 or so and now sound is just more like noise compared to iOS 4,  I have selected all presets or equalizations but ALL are poor, maybe some presets work better with some songs but still they are poor.... Songs did not have clarity!! The volume force was like degraded, now I have to set higher volume to produce same force than before with less volume... iOS 5 max volume (100%) is like iOS 4.2.1 85-90% of volume. Difference is that iOS 5 maximum volume starts slightly to distort or saturate audio quality... before with iOS 4 sound quality was Crystal Clear even with max volume!!! In short SOUND QUALITY is DEGRADED... or perhaps I'm a very critical and nonconformist guy in terms of audio quality... this kind of degradation is quite notorious when one loves music!! or is there some other configuration I'm missing here??
    Totally agree with Richard!!
    At first I thought it was a problem with my phone... I used to believe iOS 5 was engineered for new iPhone 4S hardware and since it is shipped with dual-core processor, I thought my phone was short in resources!!!
    Why max volume is lower in intensity???
    Why equalization with the EQ Off changed?? All my songs were stored on iTunes, they must have same sound quality properties as they were when first ripped..
    I hope Apple enginneers did not sacrifice volume output force in favor of saving some battery, because normally we charge battery when listening music at home with our personal speakers equipment.
    I would like to understand the reasons why the new "Music App" was "changed", and why these changes have to go backwards!! That is sad... because for iPhone or iPod lovers music was always important.
    thanks

  • Lets get Apple to increase the audio levels again

    Hi everyone! Well, I sold my 2.16 C2D on eBay and I just bought the new 2.2 model. I broke even selling the old and buying this one. So I think its a great deal. Anyway, I'm happy with the new machine. Speed and everything else is the same to me but the graphics are killer. Way better than the 128mb x1600. So far I've only tried it out on call of duty 2 but I'm more than satisfied.
    So my reason for starting this thread is that we should all write to Apple's feedback section (which I can not find right now) and let them know that we would like the audio levels to increase again just like in 10.4.9.
    The audio was low up to 10.4.8, in 10.4.9 the audio was much louder, and in 10.4.10 it went back to how it used to be. Now I know why Apple did this. It was because of all the 24" iMac users who complained about the audio being way too loud on the lowest volume setting. I know exactly how loud it was- my brother is one of those 24" iMac users. Reverting the audio level makes sense for iMac users but for everyone else its a downgrade. Especially since Apple sells a lot more notebooks than desktops.
    A solution to this would be putting out a patch for just notebook users. Its really a major issue to me and I have not upgraded to 10.4.10 on this new machine because I'm in love with the fact of actually being able to hear the speakers on the MBP.

    Are you serious? I'm running 10.4.9 right now I can't hear anything on iTunes until the 2nd or 3rd volume setting. Yes, I have sound check and everything else off.
    Don't even wanna imagine what it will be like again when I have to go to 10.4.10.

  • Audio Level Way Too Low On Movie

    I just downloaded my first movie 'Mamma Mia' from iTunes and the audio level is dramatically lower than the hundreds of songs I have purchased.
    Furthermore, the preamp, equalizer, sound check and sound enhancer functions in iTunes 8.02.20 don't seem to work on movie audio although they are fine on music. Bottom line, there is not enough audio level from my iPod Touch to drive parallel headphones on an airplane.
    Does anyone know if all iTunes movies have this problem, and if so, what can be done about it? I am used to the normal variations in songs but this is ridiculous. iTunes customer service either doesn't know or won't tell me what is going on.
    Thanks

    "When the iPod is connected right click on the file (on the iPod) and click Properties."
    Well, now it's right click on the file -> Get Info -> Options. And yes, both a volume adjustment and equalizer preset come up but neither is active in the window (not on songs either...) I tried changing several options under the iTunes preferences but wasn't able to activate these adjustments - probably not available on the iPod Touch.
    Thanks for the idea, anyway!

  • "Disable" Sound Check

    There has been much discussion about the pros and cons of Sound Check, and some excellent details are provided about how it works and how difficult a process it is to standardize volume. Generally, I'm happy with the feature with one exception: live concerts, especially with songs that segue, like a Dead or Zappa concert. If I want to listen to the contiguous show, sometimes there are significant swings in volume between tracks. Yes, joining tracks is one option, but that creates very long "songs." I could also go track by track and manually set each song's volume to some standard, but my ear ain't that good. So my questions:
    (1) After tracks have been imported and Sound Checked, is there a way to reset a certain group of songs to the original, non-varying, un-Sound Checked volume level?
    (2) If not, can I re-import the concerts and somehow maintain the consistent volume level for the tracks that make up each show? Would I have to turn off Sound Check in perpetuity to do this?
    Thanks for any suggestions

    Sound Check works well on an iPod when listening through the headphones. Works on all iPods, as far as I know.
    Some iPods have their 'Line Out' audio (Dock Connector) affected by Sound Check, others do not.
    If may be iPod 'Generational' differences &/or Firmware differences - I do not know. The only way to determine if the Sound Check feature works via the Dock is to perform some simple tests (if you have the appropriate connections).
    I determined that my 2Gen iPod mini with Firmware v1.3 does not pass Sound Checked audio via the Dock. Makes it more work to manually adjust the volume in my car (via a Direct Interface) or my home speakers.

  • Best/fastest way to standardize different audio levels in long projects????

    Hey all,
    I regularly have long projects with lots of different audio and audio levels (eg weddings and events) and am trying to figure the fastest and best way to set all the different levels to output around a standard level (eg around -4dB) and not peak!
    I want to be able to do this at the end of my project(workflow) rather than individually adjusting each audio clip as i go, which wastes a lot of time.
    I'm sure there has to be a simple way to do this but i haven't learnt it yet, so has anyone got the best/fastest method?

    Well IMO "best" and "fastest" don't go together in a sentence very often!
    However I think the key is in establishing a rock-solid set monitoring level (ie volume) for the speakers you mix on which never changes (at least while you mix). In professional mixing it's done with equipment to analyze the mixing room and calibrate everything to a nominal 85dB spl at the mixing position (for the cinema... which is quite loud!).
    While you might not want to emulate this you can get some content you are happy with (your projects, CD's, DVD's etc) and play them in you environment with your mixing software faders at zero gain and the meters reading -12dB or thereabouts (they will if the content was mixed correctly). Now adjust your listening volume (on your speakers or amp) until you get a comfortable listening/mixing level (you could get a Radio Shack sound pressure meter and try to set the volume to around 70-80dB spl or whatever so if you ever need to reset you can) and mark the amp/speaker levels with a grease pencil. Never Move this control again.
    From now on whenever your audio tracks reach this 'ideal' listening level, your level meters will show the ideal -12dB. Your ears just have to "learn" how loud this is... and then you can mix by ear... keeping an eye on the meters to make sure you are on target. If you want the audio to sound 'normal' mix to a comfortable listening level, if you want it softer lower the track's fader until it sounds right ... louder? Well turn it up. Although you can only go louder until your meters overload... which is at 12dB. (that's why some people like to set their "ideal" level lower -15 or -18dB, so there's more room to get loud (especially in the cinema!). It's all easier said than done ... but once you learn your listening levels you'll just adjust tracks correctly as you go, then tune it all up on a mixing pass.
    If you have a completed project you still have to do all the above... set your listening level. Then scan through your material. I like to find the worst clip (probably too low) and tweak it to sound the best you can (add gain, eq, etc) trying to get it up around -15 to -12 dB. Then run though the whole project bringing other clips down to match the worst. This will get everything basically even.
    After all this you might try running the whole mix through a single Sub Mix and insert a compressor across it (with a basic 'Mix" preset) to even the whole thing out. Though a lot of the time, with Doco type sound, I find a pretty even mix can be done by ear alone!
    It's a lot to think about ... but the key is learning what your ideal target level sounds like. Then use your ears.. and check your STP level meters to make sure all is OK.
    Hope this helps

  • Sound Check Errors

    I recently activated Sound Check, and iTunes gave me a message like "determining sound level" and it only scrolled through 10 songs. Shouldn't it scan through all the tracks?

    That doesn't look like it should compile correctly. You've got initWithFileName:andExt: defined inside the playSound: method.

  • Reinstalled iTunes - "Sound Check" option no longer effective

    I've always used and liked the "Sound Check" option in iTunes. Recently, due to 13-year-old hijinx, my library became corrupt. I uninstalled iTunes, downloaded the most recent version, and reinstalled it. I assumed the "Sound Check" option defaulted to "off", so I proceeded to add all my music folders to create a new library in the newly installed iTunes. Then I realized the "Sound Check" option was actually turned on - why I don't know, since I hadn't switched it on. I had assumed after the "add music folders" process I would turn on "Sound Check" and iTunes would read the music files to obtain the volume (usually a several hour process with my 6000+ songs). But it never did read the files. And now, even though "Sound Check" is on, it doesn't seem to me that the songs play at the same level. I've tried switching "Sound Check" off and then turning it on again to no avail. Is there a way to manually force iTunes to re-listen to the music files to re-set the levels for "Sound Check"? -Murray

    hmmmmm. this is going to be experimental. (because i've never seen the problem i'm checking on manifest in quite this way before.) but in theory, it could help identify the cause.
    Sound Check is an itunes preference. sometimes we get cases of preferences refusing to change for folks because one of the itunes preference files has gone skunky in some way. so it's plausible that you've got a preference file gone bad here.
    let's try an experiment aimed at seeing if this might be the cause of the problem in your case.
    quit itunes.
    head into your user accounts control panel and create a new user account with full administrative rights. (there's help documentation on how to do that at the left of the control panel screen.) while you're in that control panel, switch off "fast user switching" in your logging-on preferences.
    now log out of the old account and log into the new account.
    launch itunes.
    import some music into the (currently empty) library in the user account. (perhaps a couple of different albums with fairly wildly different recording levels.) listen to them with Sound Check on, and with Sound Check off.
    does sound check make a difference in the new account?
    (there's a different set of preference files in the new account and the old account, which is why a preference problem in one account usually doesn't affect preferences in a different account, and why this experiment may indicate the preference files are at fault in the old account.)
