  • Low sound levels in Photo Booth and Imovie

    I am a new Mac user and I am trying to record a short video to email using the built-in Isight camera. I have tried to use Photo Booth and Imovie and both of them produce videos with very, very low sound levels. You can barely hear it even when turned up to the max. I have checked the Sound preferences, and it is set to the built-in microphone, about mid-level. I've tried cranking it up to the max and with and without Use ambient noise reduction checked. It has no effect. How do I get a decent sound level? It is unusable at this point. I've updated my Software and repaired permissions, and still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks for the response. I checked my midi audio settings and they are at the suggested rate. I called up an Apple support tech, and after trying a few things he basically said the internal mics are junk and go buy an external one. In the mean time, I've cranked up the sound levels to max, so I can hear it a little, but there is a ton of background hiss. I've done a web search and several people have reported this problem. so I think it might be something besides junk mics. Why do they install them if they are completely unusable? Thanks again. I'll try trashing the sound pref's too.

  • Different Sound Levels For Key Pad And Incoming Ca...

    I have a Nokia Lumia 520.
    How do I set the volume differently so that I have:-
    A quiet tone (say level 1/30) when I type numbers into the key pad for dialling numbers AND
    a louder ring tone for incoming calls (say level 15/30).
    Thanks in advance for any replies.

  • Can one share album cover art between WMP and iTunes?

    I am regularly using Windows Media Player as well as iTunes (the latter mainly to fill my iPod). All my albums (well-organized in subdirectories) contain a file "folder.jpg" (which is the standard unser windows) containing the album's cover art.
    iTunes apparently goes off and tries to download the cover art from some server and then stores it in its own setup under .../My Music/iTunes/Album Artwork/..., but obviously isn't very good at that, since it finds only maybe 20% of the covers, the rest remains empty. Is there a way to tell iTunes to pick up the cover art from those folder.jpg files?
    Ideal would of course be, if the two could share these files (i.e. pointing to the same file (e.g. using NTFS hard-links). Is that possible? Does anyone know a tool or script that does that automagically?

    {quote}Is there a way to tell iTunes to pick up the cover art from those folder.jpg files?{quote}
    No. You can work around this by using another program like Mp3tag to embed the artwork from folder.jpg into the ID3 tag. Despite its "mp3" name, Mp3tag will also work on AAC files.
    You cannot use hard links because the iTunes artwork files are not simply picture files. The pictures are embedded in some other (undocumented of course) ITC format (I say ITC format because that is the file extension -- I have no idea what it means). Also, you would have to figure out the folder structure.
    Another option is to use an external program to "trick" itunes into downloading the artwork from your own server. See these threads/posts:

  • We have a new iPod  Classic and would like some help in choosing "Import Settings" (under Peferences) when loading the iPod from the Mac.  We want to be sure that we can maintain a constant sound level.  Used with Bose sound dock. OS 10.6.8 iTunes 10.6.1.

    Using an iPod Classic on a Bose sound dock....when loading the iPod from the Mac, what  "Import Settings" (under iTune "Preferences"),  should be used to maintain a constant sound level when playing music?  Mac OS 10.6.8, iTunes 10.6.1.
    There are many Import Settings available and it is somewhat confusing.  Any suggestions?

    Go to iTunes>Preferences>Playback. Tick "Sound Check."

  • Why such sorry sound quality on iTunes? On some of my purchases the sound level is suppressed on the audio. On others the volume is so low that if I have it set for another song and a new one starts I have to increase the volume to hear it.

    Why such sorry sound quality on iTunes? On some of my purchases the sound level is suppressed on the audio. On others the volume is so low that if I have it set for another song and a new one starts I have to increase the volume to hear it.
    There is so much distortion on some of the music I have to play it with QuickTime to get a "clean" track.
    What can be done to get a consistent volume level or is this another typical Apple product that you have to take what you get and be happy because it's not a Microsoft product?

    If that's the best you can do why don't you get on another forum?

  • How do I get a descent sound level and quality when exporting out of Logic ??

    Hi guys,
    I know this topic's been discussed many times before but I still can't fix my problem
    I'm going crazy right now. It's been weeks I've been working on beats on Logic and I think they now sound pretty cool.
    So I'm trying to export them out of Logic on mp3,or wav, or aiff but everytime it comes out very low. So when I'm applying different tips (limiter, adaptative limiter and different things I found on the internet... ) the sound level is a bit higher but still the quality is not as good as it is on Logic
    So here's my questions : first, is it possible to get the exact same quality as the one you have when listening into logic ?
    then how to get the best quality with a normal sound level  so when you listening to the mp3 or wave or aiff on itunes just after a normal song you don't have to turn the sound up
    Thank you very much for you help !!
    Ben

  • My pc sound level is very low on playback from dvd and most websites even though its at 100 percent

    the playback level on dvd and most video streams is very low.(youtube seems ok)This is my second pavillion g7 w/ windows 7 .The first had a defective fan but the sound level was ok and there was a graphic eq section for sound control with other output options.I've yet to find that area on this pc in the month I,ve had it even though their identical computers.I,m at a loss for the cause of the problem.Headphones work fine but are annoying.

    i use professional studio monitors to monitor the audio
    the issue , is if i turn up the audio it will clip on premieres main output.  so i cant turn it up any more.
    the specific moment i took the screenshot the audio volume was at -18db, but even if it was up at 0db it would not even reach half volume on my computers main output
    this is the case regardless of the nature of the audio, be it stock music, dialogue, or sound effects  maybe there is a hidden master output that im unaware of

  • Screensaver, system sounds and itunes problem

    I did all the updates and even used migration assistant so my computer has been through allot already. I do not know which update affected my screen saver and optical audio but my screen saver is having the same issue with two monitors. My VGA monitor displays photos when the screen saver kicks in but my macbook just says looking for pictures. I tried reseting pram, repairing permissions and "safe boot" but nothing works. My optical audio somehow messes with my system sounds and iTunes on first song or podcast played. Sometimes the progress bar will freeze and I can't move it.(the time counter for a track in iTunes). The system sound works off and on when I use optical audio out to my stereo receiver. I talked to apple care and the genius bar and they said I might need to archive and install from the recovery discs that came with my computer. I think if I did that and did all the updates then the problem would return because I think it is a firmware or software update problem and not third party software interacting with the system.

    iTunes shouldn't do that. Normally when iTunes finds that it would like to move/rename a file after download or a tag edit, and the filename it wants to use is already in use, it adds a " 1" or " 2" to the end of the filename. It does not overwrite the original file. In fact if it had reused the filename then there would be two entries in your library, which would both have the same information and content. Is this the case? How exactly is the title of the film spelt?
    File & folder names are limited to 40 characters in Windows so I would expect (judging by the titles given in the store) to find the movies in a folder called:
    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - P
    and to be called
    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.m4v and
    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallo 1.m4v
    Hopefully you have a backup of the missing file as, in principle, you are only allowed to create one copy using the redemption code.

  • Output sound level from gramophone and from computer should be the same

    Dear friends,
    Why the output sound level isn't equal if we listen the LP directly from the gramophone (AUX1) or from the computer during the recording the track on the computer?
    We are using The E-MU 0404 USB 2.0 Audio/MIDI Interface:
    http://ixbtlabs.com/articles2/proaudio/emu-0404-usb.html
    http://www.emu.com/products/product.asp?product=10447&nav=features
    and we have connected E-MU with the (gramohone) speakers through the headphone output on the E-MU and turn the headphone level to the maximum, but the sound level is still lower from the same speakers.
    If we compare the track after the recording with the LP on the gramphone is the level of the sound the same/equal.
    So we need to have all three sound levels equal:
    -from the LP form the gramophone
    -from the computer during the recording
    -from our track on the hard disk after the recording
    Thank you for your answer.

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    Connecting loudspeakers to the headphone output on the E-mu sounds like completely the wrong thing to do altogether - you should
    only connect headphones to a headphone output, and nothing else at all.
    We will buy the cable as you mentioned and connect it in the line level (S/PDIF).
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    Almost certainly you will need to adjust the monitoring levels in Patchmix to get this the way you want it
    Then we will try to adjust the monitoring levels in Patch (I will report if and how did we manage it).

  • Sound Quality changes between itunes 8.2.1 and itunes 9.1

    I am using itunes and a modified Airport Express as my audio source in my Hifi Stereo system.
    It is working so well that I have discarded my high end audiophile CD player.
    However I found an issue with itunes consistency from version to version in audio quality.
    Here is the experience I conducted:
    Using:
    - a mac mini with Snow Leopard and itunes 8.2.1 and a macbook pro with Snow Leopard and itunes 9.1.
    - Identical Wav (full res 16bit 44.1Khz) files local to each mac.
    to be completely accurate the music used was:
    Ben Webster Meets Oscar Peterson: T01 The Touch Of Your Lips
    Diana Krall Live in Paris: T11 A Case of You
    - in both cases itunes streams to the Airport Express (same one)
    -> The result is that the there is a difference in sound between the two itunes, and I would like to understand what changed or why this difference?
    If I were to describe the differences I would say that itunes 8.2.1 delivers a softer sound with more medium than itunes 9.1. Itunes 9.1 would have a brighter sound with less medium than itunes 8.2.1.
    (On a side note, not relevant for the problem above, but could interest some people: When I access with my mac with itunes 9.1 the itunes 8.2.1 library on the other mac, the sound quality streamed to the AE is poor compared to either itunes version used with local files. I wonder how apple streams the music from one itunes to the next but that music it altered may be compressed in this case.)
    Message was edited by: cdfr

    Chris thanks for this answer.
    I did check the settings on both Macs/itunes and they are identical. Everything is disabled. The remote volume is also disabled on both.
    So the sound quality difference cannot be explained by that.

  • Win7 wmp dups and itunes ??

    Hi..I didnt think I was an idiot but I do now, I cant seem to seperate itunes from win media player in win 7 on my new laptop.
    I dont want all those dup's in win media player like that.
    I tried to move itunes file but its just not working for me I guess im clueless as to how to move the files and what files to where, even when I set itunes to new locale it wont work, it dup's files to wmp still.
    I removed itunes twice now and just keeps happening.
    This is irritating me enough to trash itunes, my old desk top isnt going to live forever and I wanted this on my new win 7 machine but not if its this big of a pia. (my husband uses wmp and I use itunes its too confusing all messed together.)
    Any help appreciated I guess you better explain it carefully Im stupid all of the sudden! Thanks in advance

    More on letting iTunes & Windows Media Player live happily together.
    Using *Edit > Preferences > Advanced* take a note of the location of your *iTunes Media* folder, here for example I have my library living at the root of my H: drive. I choose to organise my files manually but generally recommend setting the *Keep iTunes Media folder organised* option to others as it requires less housekeeping. Having *Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library* set often encourages unnecessary duplication but the choice is yours. If letting iTunes manage files then move your imports into the *Automatically add to iTunes* folder, otherwise arrange them to your taste within the iTunes Media folder before manually adding them to the library.
    On the *Preferences > General* tab set your import settings to mp3 with a sample rate to suit your taste and the capacity of your devices.
    In Windows Media Player use *Library > More Options > Rip Music* to set WMP's rip folder to *<iTunes Media Folder>\Music*. Set the format to mp3 and choose your quality settings. Disable the *Rip when CD inserted option* so you can choose whether to rip with WMP or iTunes.
    On the Library tab make sure the highlighted check boxes are not ticked. This prevents WMP from automatically updating files and moving them about which can confuse iTunes. With both programs sharing the same media folders you should also take care when deleting tracks from one library that you don't accidentally delete the files if they should be left for the alternate library.
    WMP is able to detect when media has been moved from one location to another (providing it is monitoring the target folder) so you can move any music that is currently organised in your main <User>Music folder into your iTunesiTunes MediaMusic folder and WMP will reconnect to it. You can then add those folders that you want to into iTunes without creating duplicates. Of course you may have already duplicated some material so you'll need to consider this before deciding what to move around and what to delete.
    Existing WMA or AAC files in each library can be set out in the same folder structure accessible only to the WMP or iTunes libraries respectively or you can opt to convert them to a common format when the need arises.
