Varying volume levels

I am having to constantly adjust the volume on my IPOD mini. I have sound check on. I have songs that I have ripped from my CDs and songs from ITUNES. Really annoying. Is there any way to solve this problem. I do have an audio card on my computer. Is there a way to rip all tracks at the same volume level for playback.
Thanks,
Jerry

There are 3rd party programs that do this more effectively than soundcheck (at least in my opinion).
For Windows there is mp3/aacGain.

How can multiple speaker outputs be created with varying volume levels and retain keyboard master volume control? Multi-output and aggregate both cannot adjust sub-devices and lose keyboard volume control capabilities on my Mac. What's the solution?

Is it my Mac? Is there software I need? An app perhaps? This seems way too complicated to set up spkrs. I'm attempting to use 2 hdmi and 1 headphone outputs w/ control and varying levels (ie hdmi's quieter than desk spkrs) thanks for suggestions! -Tim

Hi Tim,
Not sure since I'm deaf,but if possible I'd think...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there.

Multiple volume levels on iPhone5

Something that has confounded me for some time is the (varied) volume level of my iPhone 5s over my car audio system. (I am running the latest iOS version)>
I have the iPhone plugged directly into the 3.5mm port of the car audio system; I am not using bluetooth.
After setting a comfortable volume for playing music via iTunes, I will get an incoming call and have to boost the volume considerably in order to hear the caller. When the call is terminated, the volume of the music is now, of course, deafening and I have to scramble to turn it down. Embarrassing when someone else is in the car as they conclude that I don't know how to set up my iPhone properly.
Thanks for any help on this.

but where is the manual!!!!!!!
That's easy! Go to http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipod
which clearly suggests that I use the volume buttoms on the left of the set and buttons are illustrated on the user manual diagram and yet my handset has no such buttons!
That's because the volume button is only on the new 2nd generation touches. If you don't have the external volume control, you have a 1st generation touch.

Is TV2 suposed to recognise iTunes settings(eg. start, end, volume level) for music videos ??

I am trying to run music videos from iTunes to AppleTV2. But any of the settings I have made in iTunes agnats the music video (eg. Video start time, stop time, volume level) don't seem to be recognised by TV2. Is this correct ? If so, how do I control varying volumes levels when playing via TV2 ?

I have this problem on occasion, below the song title and progress bar there are two symbols tap them 1 at a time and restart not sure witch one but one of them does this. I think the other causes the song to loop

When I play a playlist of music the volume levels seem to vary up

When I play a playlist off my Ipod touch on external sound system the volume level of my songs down loaded will vary.
I have down loaded music to itunes on our Mac desk top from cds & legal sounds.com. Really frustrating please could someone give advice
many thanks Tobias20

Which EQ setting + volume level is the most 'clear'?

Hi
Just got an iPod Classic this week (my first ever Apple Product other than iTunes). It's replacing a 30G player from another company from 2006 (ran out of room) that had really good sound. With a simple pair of JVC Marshmallow earbuds, the right mid-volume and the right EQ setting, I could hear all the musical instruments clearly and somewhat equally and the singer's voice was clear as well, as if we were in the same room.
I'd like to recreate this with my iPod Classic but I've noticed the EQ isn't customizable (unless I'm missing something) and that with some of the iPod's EQ settings I can hear instruments clearly but the vocals sound muffled, almost like they're dubbed from another source. But there's other settings (Vocal) where the singer comes in clear but the instruments are muffled in that dubbed way. I've tried Flat and Off but results with those vary.
My old player's EQ was set at a reverse of the iPod's Rock setting, lowest bars on the outside and highest in the middle. Is it possible to load an EQ setting like that from iTunes? If you can download a game, can you download an EQ setting?
AND is there a certain volume level where that 'same room' clarity shines through? Anything lower than 11 out of 20 on my old player and it would lose that clarity (anything higher than 13/20 was too loud). 12 was just right. If that makes any sense.
Or could it have something to do with how a song is ripped from a CD? Which is what my music collection started out as.
I'm hoping someone can help and shed some light on this for me. I got it engraved so I can't exactly return it. haha

Most audiophiles, switch off the iPod Classic EQ as it is crap, most probably designed by some team who like bubble-gum music. but if you must use, create a custom EQ presets
read this forum
http://www.head-fi.org/t/399487/ipod-custom-eq-yes-it-can-be-done
But try not to boost up greater than zero db, the new iPod audio chipset don't like it, your music will sound like something from some Oriental Opera, of course, unless you like the metallic tin highs.

How can a consistent volume level be set for all the songs in an iTunes library?

The volume of the songs in my iTunes library varies significantly when played on my iPod. Is there any way of setting a consistent/equal volume for the songs in my library so that I don't have to change the volume level when listening to my iPod?

I have used the $30 iVolume utility to equalize my iTunes song's volume for several years and it works well. I just wish it worked for music videos. iVolume is available on the Mac App Store, or you can try before you buy at the developer's site: http://www.mani.de/en/ivolume/index.html

Using compressor DVD Studio Pro 4 will only accept ac3 format in the burn process. ac3 makes a nnsense of the good sound delivered, 30% reduction in volume, auto volume levelling giving unwanted volume variations. Used to be able to burn using AIFF/WAVE,

AS Above. Edited in FCPX. Excellent sound file. Using Compressor 4 to DVD Studio 4. Wanting AIFF or WAVE sound for acurate sound.
Previously DVD Studio 4 has accepted AIFF etc and delivered sound as reuired. Now, during the burn process everything other than ac3 is declined as 'video bit rate too high', but will burn if the AIFF format is replaced with ac3 (which I presume meanss the 'video bit rate too high' is referring to the sound file)
The issue with ac3 format is the huge reduction in original volume and worse, the 'auto volume levelling' that makes a nonsense of the original soundtrack - with simply aweful unwanted variations in volume Throughout the the dvd.
I have tried everything I can think of to get around this. The 'volume gain' in compressor doesn't make any difference. Exporting just AIFF and the Video to DVD 4 doesn't make any difference, it always declines anything but the aweful sound ac3 delivers.
I have customers awaiting a musci DVD, not with thei quality I can't.
Cheers
Phil

The total video bit rate is determined by audio & video. Depending on what rate your video file was encoded at will determine how much room is left for audio. PCM(aiff/wav) audio requires a bigger piece of the pie. Video bit rate too high means your overall(video+audio) rate is going above 9Mbps which the format won't allow. The only way to use aiff would be to lower your video file's data rate. The length of your program is also a factor in all of this.
I had some problems in the past with using aiff instead ac3. Although there shouldn't be any issue I experienced playback issues on some players that couldn't be explained but were cleared up by ac3. I have been using the same specs as Dave's suggestion for almost nine years and have not had any issues with mix, quality, or levels.

Can I have multiple volume levels in one track?

I have a track composed of audio from a cassette recorder of a now deceased relative's voice.
Since the cassette was turned on and off during recording, the recordings are at different volumes.
I have been able to import the cassette into a GarageBand project, and delete dead space, but now I find that the volume is not consistent.
Any way to remedy that? I am wondering if I need to chop it up and make more than one track, and adjust the volume on each track? Will this work as long as the tracks don't overlap?
And then do I send the finished product to iTunes in order to be able to use it in an iMovie?
Or can I drag it right from GarageBand to iMovie?
Many thanks, I'm a very new GarageBand user.

Sometimes my iphone 5S produces low sound even on full volume level. Then i do restart it. But i am not sure where exactly the problem is? Need help.

Hi saiyed adil,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It appears that your iPhone 5s sometimes produces low sound, but a restart corrects it.
It can take some time to isolate and resolve intermittent issues like this one, and I'd recommend going through the steps in this guide the next time it occurs:
If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
All the best,

Is there any "mechanical" helper to get my volume levels the same?

I create playlists from ratings,(and comments),- and albums have different volume levels. As I always use my ipod to go to sleep, it is very destructive, to not be able to hear my music one minute, and then have it much too loud the next.
Is there ANYTHING, free or chargeable, physical or software, that can help me get my itunes library to all the same volume level. My problem is agrivated by the fact that I do have some shared downloads, and also someone put my vynils onto cd for me, but at a lower volume.
I might add, that I'm still a learner on the computer. I have been told to change the soundcheck -playback -preferences -itunes. I have tried it, ticked and unticked - it doesn't make any difference.
I'd be very gratefull for some advice. Please HELP, this has been going on for ages. Thank you, in anticipation.

I'm SO very grateful for your help! Have downloaded it, and have started to use it, but havn't listened to results yet.(just about to) THANKYOU SO MUCH.
Thankyou so much again, this could be the end of a long (negative) era!
A bit later: have listened to a little, seems a huge amount better. will update when used properley.
I'm anticipating some being way out. Though it says it can overcome old changed volume levels, is it best in your opinion, to put them back to original setting?
Many Best Wishes Vonnie

1020 There is no lock for ringer volume level, but...

Earlier today I posted in this Community regarding the Subject issue. Received good reply and marked it as a Solution. Had additional thoughts so I'm doing this new Post. Same Subject as before. I had asked if it's possible to LOCK the ring volume, at 10 for example, it's loudest, so I can hear it ring no matter what. I've been unpleasently surprised several times when my ringer rings BUT the volume is much much lower, way too low (2 or 3 maybe), way lower from where I had set it, up at (10). So then, I immediately adjust the volume back to 10, where I want it to stay, always. The volume up and down rocker button works fine. Problem is, the unexpexted, surprising and unwanted way very low ringer volume that causes me to MISS SOME CALLS. I have four kids. As a parent, missing calls can be a SERIOUS matter. If I could LOCK my ringer volume at 10 then I'll be happier. For me, thr parent, this tricky too low ringer volume problem is more than an annoying tech glich. What causes this problem, you may ask? The volume goes down without wanting it to do that because that while the phone is unlocked and in any kind of use or even while it is in screen lock mode, the very handling of the phone will sometimes unintendedly, unknowingly, without noticing it, press the down volume part of the volume rocker buttom. After all, the down volume part of the rocker button is the located at the lower end of that rocker and is closer to the center of the phone and close to the power button. That's right where anybody normally holds and works the phone, right there. AND worse yet, it takes only a little bit of pressure to accidently push the down volume rocker button. No wonder the down volume button unwillingly gets pressed alot. Also, unwanted down volume change, by pressing of the volume button, can happen in many ways such as in a pocket, carrying it in your hand, passing the phone around, lots of ways. This unwanted down volume change can and does happen on the 1020 while calling, texting, using apps and even during the screen lock mode, and that is with or without the pass code feature enabled. Only time this can't happen is when the phone is completely off and dark. I've searched the posts and don't find anyone else saying this. That doesn't mean it's not a real problem, like for us parents and others. But I know that what I say is correct, to my knowledge, because today an MS WP Community Moderator and also a Lumina Community contributor agreed with what I'm experiencing. This problem has always happened with my 1020 and my previous 920 always did exactly the same type of low volume TRICK. No updates are causing this problem along the way. It's just now that I got fed up enough to confirm within the Communities that there is NO WAY TO LOCK THE RINGER VOLUME on the 1020. I'm ranting about it to you fellow Lumina users. If you experience this, if it bugs you, if you agree that it's more than a mere tech glich nuisance, that it's causing missed calls for family and business, then please post in on this Lumina Community and demand a fix for it. I'm not a phone software expert but I'll bet that a minor software tweek followed by an update, is easily possible. This fix SHOULD be good for existing Lumina models, not just for future ones. I'm gonna work this. It can happen more surely and quickly if those Lumina users who share my concern will post about it. This post is not a critique nor does it infer defects in software or phones. I just want to peel a layer off this onion.

As far as the phone is locked, the volume key will not function .. so this should not affect the volume level.

When I set all the tracks in the latest Garageband to the same volume levels and save, when I open the file again they've changed back to a previous setting?

I'm trying to mix a recording in the latest 2014 version of Garageband, but when I set all the tracks in the latest Garageband to the same volume levels and save, when I open the file again they've changed back to a previous setting? Does anyone know why it changes even after saving the file?
Below is my iMac settings.

Do you have a back up?
If not you're into using file recovery software like File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

I locked my volume level, and forgot the code to unlock it, so how can i get my volume back to normal without a code??

About four years ago I set the volume lock on my ipod to half way up. To do that, you enter a four number code. I decided to change the code one day, and then ever since then i can not remember the code. I would like to remove my volume lock from half way, so that i can turn it up to max volume, but to do this it is asking for the old four number code, which i don't remember! So how can i take this volume lock off without knowing the code??? I tried to reset all settings, but that did not remove the volume lock. Please help me figure out how to achieve full volume level!
Thanks.

Macbook Pro 15" volume level changes by itself

Hi all!
About a month ago I have upgraded my rock-solid Macbook Pro 15" (mid 2012) from Mountain Lion to Mavericks. All seemed fine (with the exception of some known annoyances with WIFI) until last week when all of a sudden the volume level started to change by itself. It started going up and down, turning mute and turning on again and so on, just like an invisible hand or a remote access have taken control of my machine (it wouldn't even let me change the the volume using the volume buttons while this weirdness is happening). This has never happened before. To make things worse, I have then upgraded to Yosemite and all seemed fine but then the weird volume changes appeared again and I now am stuck with no straight forward way of reverting all the way back to the original Lion (which worked perfectly since Mac purchase back in 2012).
Can anyone help?
I have googled for similar issues and have seen some answers (mostly not that relevant) including a thread on this forum suggesting to reset the SMC. I have tried that using the suggested key-combination press, but it did not seam to have solved the problem, as the volime changes continue when I least expect it.
Is this a hardware problem? If so, would a change of the keyboard resolve things? [ At some stage I thought maybe the problem was caused by the fact the I have fiddled a little bit with the keyboard by lifting the :; key (next to L and under P) and applying a bit of WD40 to clean a tiny spil of sugary liqid that caused the key to get sticky. But the volume keys are way far on top of keybord so my assumtion was/is that the volume changes would not be related to the cleaning. ]
is this a software problem? Some thread on similar (not identical) issues had suggested there are some bugs in soft and Apple is aware. For this reason I gave Yosemite a go but the problem continues. Would reverting to Lion sole the problem you think? [ Maybe I should ask here if anyone can suggest how to go about this downgrade as Option-Cmd-R key-combination press at start up does not give me the Interner Recovery scree anymore, but keeps taking me (just like Cmd-R) straight to the OSX Utilities where can wipe of the disk (which I did) and reinstall Yosemite only. ]
I would very much apreciate any replies that might help me solve this issue.
Many thanks
Ty
