Standard Sound Levels for Multiple Songs in Audio Tract

I have a video with numerous songs from iTunes in the audio track of the video.
The songs have a wide variety of playback level in the video's audio track.
I know that I can adjust each one manually so that they sound to my ear (and to the audio meter) to be playing at about the same level.
However, is there a simple way to select one of the songs and have automatically have the remaining songs readjust to the selected standard song?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Just closing the loop here ...
I ended up doing the separate track and audio mixer volume adjustment with some individual clip gain tweaks.   Turns out one of my cameras was quiet and another loud, so I used three audio tracks in my movie, one for footage from each camera (luckily the two offenders were more limited).   The nice thing about this approach is that adjustments are easy to make across the board.
On the 6db volume gain, turns out that was enough.  Maybe someone has some input here, but I find that watching video on my TV with my surround sound system the volume levels are way more sensitive than my PC.   Ok, not 100% - there were a couple of clips where I upped the gain as well.
The gain adjustment and looking at the waveform diagram is very useful for getting an idea of what level of adjustment is required.   So I did make use of this feature to get feedback on how to adjust the volume level noted above.
If I was really serious, I would have done a bunch of marking key frames and adjusting the volume within the clips.   One of my cameras is really loud when the person filming speaks but the other subjects are much softer.  But I took an 80/20 approach and the movie is a little loud in some spots and a little soft in others, but not so much that I have to adjust the volume button.  It would be tedious to edit all the footage in this way.   Although I did make use of the key frames for some background music.
Needles: I was looking for a consumer level solution, although admittedly didn't investigate what you suggested.

  • 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 change the start/stop time for multiple songs not just one song at a time?

    How do I chnage the start/stop time for multiple songs not just one song at a time?

    I don't think you can in iTunes.
    Multiple editing in Get Info does not offer an option to change start/stop times.

  • How do I get the volume on my ipod classic to the same level for all songs?  Some are louder than others.

    How do I get the volume on my ipod classic to the same level for all songs?  Some songs are a lot lower than others.

    Coverflow in iTunes is sorted by Album Artist whereas coverflow on the iPod classic is sorted by Artist. Unfortunately, there is no way to set this on your iPod. This is such a fumble on Apple's part that I'm beginning to think they're becoming another Microsloth with buggy firmware and products.

  • Ability to Edit info for multiple Songs seems missing in iTunes 12

    From a review of this forum, it appears that iTunes 12 no longer permits editing of certain fields for multiple songs.
    Formerly, one could select any group of songs and, via using Get Info, edit virtually any field for all songs at the same time.
    In iTunes 12 this ability seems missing for certain fields.
    Am I missing something or is this highly useful feature now gone?
    I can't seem to get a clear picture of this from current forum posts.
    Thanks for any comments.

    marked as solving problem.
    did not mean to do that as use of 3rd party scripts should not be necessary for such a core function in itunes
    apple need to restore that basic feature. I will submit a request to them directly.

  • Master Levels for multiple tracks on one CD

    working on an LP. of course, i would like all songs to be of the same volume/presence. how can i do this. with the little scrub volume marker on the lower right? i always thought it was levels for simply listening, but just realized it must be for the sake of Exporting to iTunes as well, right? i know you can adjust the master vol and master pitch via the track, but what role does the scrub marker in the lower right hand corner play?
    thanks!!!

    It's exactly what you think it is, it sets the final playing and exported level of the entire mix. To get all songs to sound like they're at a similar level you use the Master volume control with Compression, or limiting with-in GB. Using other software for proper mastering you might likely use a combination of Compression/EQ/Limiting.
    Search the web for "Mastering" to learn more.

  • Sound levels for hearing impairment

    How can I increase sound levels of incoming calls?   I'm a bit deaf.

    Hmmm. . . .
    don't take my word as read, I usually master to DVD at -12db this seems to avoid the nasty volume surprise when you switch audio sources from broadcast tv to your dvd player.
    That said you would be surprised at the number of DVDs from top name movie houses that have -12db movies with 0db menus . . . talk about left hand (movie co.) doesn't know what the right hand (Yes geezer we make menus inc.) is doing.
    If you are suppling a DVD via a professional replication house do what I do and ask them for advice. My opinion says its more professional to ask than not (and yes I realise thats what you are doing here . . . . )

  • Patch Setup For Multiple Songs / Digitech GNX 4 (two questions)

    Hello,
    As per the title this is a two-question question.
    1. A little bit of background: I play in a band and I've been using my laptop with MIDI controller since May. My current method is simple and a bit of a jury rig, but it works. We have a repertoire of about 80 songs for which I've created separate GarageBand files for each song containing each sound needed for a tune in a separate recording track. Of late, I've been needing a way to use two controllers to control two sounds and so I've just gotten Logic Studio and have been futzing with MainStage. My question is as follows:
    It seems that theoretically I could make one Project file and literally load patches sorted by song for our entire repertoire, but it would cause my computer to be ridiculously slow since I only have 1GB RAM. Because I only have 1GB should I just make separate Project files for each song or is there a way I can load everything in one file without making the computer be slow? I do plan on upgrading the RAM to 4GB if this all works out.
    2. I also have a Digitech GNX4. It has a USB port for computer recording and it's worked with Garage Band. Can I assume it will work with the guitar effects of MainStage? (The USB port is broken and since I haven't really needed it, I haven't had it repaired. If the GNX4 does work with MainStage, you can bet it's going to the repair center).
    I've loaded some of the guitar effect presets that have like 20+ patches and it takes a long time to load which I'm guessing is tied to only having 1GB RAM.
    Thanks for anyone's help.
    +My Gear apart from laptop:+
    +- M-Audio Keystation 88es+
    +- M-Audio KeyStudio 49+
    +- M-Audio Oxygen 49 (just bought, arriving tomorrow and will most likely be returning the KeyStudio if it works well)+
    +- Digitech GNX4 guitar effects processor+

    Right (as MIDI controller). I was speaking about that solely as able to use the amp modeling features of Main Stage.
    My RAM should be arriving on Wednesday, upgrading from 1GB to 3GB
    I have two MIDI controllers; M-Audio Keystation 88es and Oxygen 61.
    My live situation is 95% keys (my various sounds split between the two controllers), and just running my guitar clean direct to amp for the few tunes when I use it (my guitar is a Rickenbacker 360-12). We're starting a few new songs where I'll have to use my six string so that's why I was curious if my GNX4 via USB can, again, use the amp modeling for those few songs. It's on it's way to the repair shop so it'll be a few weeks before I can test it.

  • How do you apply multiple songs or audio clips to one slideshow?

    I created a large project, 200+ slides. I wanted to to use multiple songs so when one ends a new one comes on. Everytime a dragged a new audio clip from Itunes it just replaced the other song. 

    You have to make one "song' in iTunes that includes all the songs you want to play.

  • How Do I put in the same image for multiple songs on iTunes

    Hi,
    I know if I click on the song on "info", I am able to change the album image. Is there a way for me to select multiple songs and do a bulk change with the same image?
    Thanks.

    Yes.
    Select multiple songs, get info and paste the artwork.
    Or select multiple songs and drag the artwork to the artwork window at the lower left of iTunes.

  • One player for multiple songs on webpage. How do I do it?

    I have multiple songs listed on a webpage and I'm looking for a way to listen to them without opening a new page eveytime you click on a song. It doesn't have to be a fancy player interface.
    Something that allows the viewer to continue reading the contents, of that same page, while listening to their song of choice.
    Also, can someone suggest a way to present the songs for listening only, while disallowing the ability to download the actual file?
    Thanks,

  • Audio Volume Sliders for multiple channels of audio

    I don't even know if this is possible, but I was wondering if
    there was any way you can set up volume sliders to control multiple
    channels of audio. For a project I'm working on I am going to have
    background audio and comentary. I want the user to be able to
    adjust the volume of both the background audio and the comentary.
    Is there any was I can make seperate sliders for each of those
    tracks of audio?
    Thanks!

    you can not.
    the only workaround i can think of would be to create a volume curve on one track, and then duplicate that track as many times as needed, and drag the regions of your other tracks into these duplicated tracks.

  • Updating info for multiple songs at the same time?

    Is there a way to highlight multiple songs and change info for the songs at the same time without having to do it for each individual song? Example: changing the album or the genre for a batch of songs?
    Thanks.

    Michael,
    You can shift-click to make a continuous selection or command-shift to make a discontinuous selection.
    Then choose Get Info from the file menu.

  • How do I organize my itunes library so that album name only shows up once for multiple song?

    When I view the songs in my itunes library, it appears that album names appear multiple times even though they are the same album. (that I may have added to my itunes library at different times).
    For example: For U2 album War, there are multiple songs in my library which I downloaded or uploaded in my itunes album at different times. Now the album War under artist U2, appears multiple times. How do I organize and make songs that belong in the same album appear under the album once so when I choose the specific album, all the songs are available there so I can listen to it all or shuffle it within the album. I don't want single songs under the same album names. It is very irritating. Please help to organize my itunes library better, I have a large album and it would be much easier if the album names would appear once when I have multiple songs for that album. Thanks!

    Each tune gets a file name - that is how iTunes works. iTunes is a data base manager.
    In a PlayList a reference is created that will link to a specific tune.
    You can take the tunes that you do not want listed under a particular album name and change the album name using 'Get Info' for that tune(s) from the iTunes window.
