Voice EQ Troubles
So I just recorded a new song on GarageBand and the vocals came out sounding great after I put the appropriate compressors and did some little tweaks to it. However, once I export the song, the vocals come out sounding too "loud" and they become muddled and sound distorted. But every time I play it in garageband it sounds just fine. Is it possible that my master mix is too loud or is it something more than that? I don't know a ton about music recording so I don't really know how to fix this problem. Any suggestions? Would really appreciate it.
Two thoughts:
• Make sure you have no clipping (the two little red dots in the meter) in GB, neither in the vocal track nor in the master mix - while GB is somewhat tolerant, you can hear the clipping in the exported audio file.
• Are you listening to your export in iTunes? Then you should make sure that you don't have the "sound enhancement" turned on and the EQ is flat. As a comparison, listen to the unaltered audio file in the Finder (press cmd-y for the preview.)

When People call me or when I try to retrieve my voice mails all anyone hears in a busy signal, there are other phones on my plan and they have no troubles. Help!
Call customer service - it sounds like you never set up your voicemail or it was never activated. A quick call to customer service should resolve this . . .

hello and thanks in advance for any help...mac mini voice recognition trouble
#1 it doesn't show an internal mic or allow calibration, though the floating mic appears. it doesn't appear to "hear" anything.
#2 the speech commands/commands windows are empty - all the commands are in "speakable commands", but i guess they need to be in the aforementioned location. if this is true, how?
i've seen some other posts addressing this problem, but none that could help me specifically.
once again, thanks to those who have the knowlwdge & time to assist.
hello apple- new to mac... superior product but i'm quite disillusioned with this self-help process.

mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.2)Hi. To address your points...
1. The Mac mini has no internal mic; depending whether you have a G4 mini or one of the new Intel models, you'll have to attach a USB or external line-in mic, or other audio interface for input.
2. The Speech Commands window keeps a written transcript of spoken commands, which obviously it can't do until a mic is connected.
One more thing, when you do get an external mic, be sure to check your System Sound prefs under "Input" to be sure the external mic is selected and recognized, and that the Input Volume is turned up enough.
Hope some of this helped.

How to put your PS3 or PS4 into a DMZ
Hello!
You're most likely here because you've thrown something out of your window in frustration at being randomly booted from an epic game of Modern Warfare 2. It's no fun, we know. But we're here to help you out...
Most problems like this can be resolved by placing your PlayStation 3 Console in a De-Militarised Zone (or DMZ). This means that your router will not block any internet traffic to your console, leaving you free to breathe the open air of MW2 multiplayer goodness. Ahhh....
Placing your console in a DMZ is not a difficult thing to do, but you will need to set aside half an hour to get to grips with the process - and you'll need administrator access to your router.
First things first, turn on your console and go to Settings > Network Settings.
From here, you can change all the bits and gubbins which help your PS3 connect to the internet.
You will need to give your PS3 a static IP address. IP addresses are like street addresses, only for your internet network. A static IP address will ensure that your router always knows where it can find your PS3.
To do this, first you'll need to go to the Settings and Connection Status List and make a note of 2 numbers:
1. The 'IP Address'
2. The 'Default Router'
Once you've got these, back out of this menu and go to the Internet Connection Settings menu. From here, follow these steps:
1. Select 'Custom'
2. Select the type of connection your using (If your PS3 is plugged in to the router, select 'Wired', if not you're using a wireless connection, select that intead.)
3. If you selected wireless, set up your connection as normal untill you get to the IP Address menu.
4. If you selected wired, select 'Auto-Detect' at the next screen and continue to the IP Address menu.
5. At the IP Address menu, select 'Manual'.
Remember those numbers you marked down earlier? Here's why you noted them!
You'll now see a screen with 5 options:
IP Address
Here, you need to input the number you noted down earlier. However, you should change the last group of 3 digits to something else. Your safest bet is to increase this number by 50 and use that. So, if the IP address you noted earlier was 192.168.0.50 then your new IP address would be 192.168.0.100
Note that the numbers here only go up to 255, so use that as a maximum if you need to. Be sure to ONLY change the last group of numbers! Make a note of the number you decided to go with.
Subnet Mask
This is almost always 255.255.255.0, don't change this unless you have a specific reason to do so.
Default Router
The second of the numbers you wrote down, all you need to do here is input the IP address of your router.
Primary DNS
This bit is super easy. Remember the number you placed in 'Default Router'? Whack it in here again!
Secondary DNS
You don't need anything at all here, unless you have a specific reason to input a Secondary DNS.
Once you're done here, make sure to make a note of the IP address you entered at this menu and hit right on the d-pad to advance.
6. For MTU - select Automatic
7. Do not use a proxy server, unless you have a specific reason to use one!
8. UPnP - it's usually a good idea to enable this, but if you have voice comms trouble after using this guide, try disabling it.
9. Review the settings and test the connection!
Now, don't panic. Your PS3 may scream at you that it cant connect to PSN. In the words of Revolver Ocelot, "We're not finished yet!"
Your next task is to log on to your router as an administrator. Check your router's manual for details on how to do this (alternatively, google is your friend).
Somewhere in the plethora of settings and techy bits that make up your router's menu will be an option to assign a 'DMZ'. I cant point you directly to this since every router differs, your best bet is that good ole' friend google.
Once you find it, you'll be asked to input an IP address for your DMZ. Here, you need to put in the IP address you gave your PS3 earlier, the one you noted down after step 5 of this guide. Once you've done that, save your settings, wait for your router to sort itself out, then dance a bit - you're nearly done.
Troop over to your PS3 and go back into Network Settings. From here, select Internet Connection Test. If all has gone swimmingly, your test will be successful and your NAT Type will read '2'. Hurrah! Your console is demilitarised and has nothing to fear from aerial bombings* or multiplayer connection troubles.
If it fails, something has gone horribly wrong. Maybe terrorists intercepted your traffic and changed an IP address whilst you weren't looking, or maybe you forgot something. Fear not - post in this thread with the results of your internet connection test and our lovely community will do their best to help you out.
Enjoy!
MusterBuster.
*I cant guarantee your PlayStation will survive an actual aerial bombing. Sorry bout that.

"De-Militarised Zone" sounds a bit scary lol. So "your router will not block any internet traffic to your console" but what does that actually mean? Could someone hack your PS3 or something? Are there any other benefits of putting your PS3 in DMZ?
We're yet to hear of anyone hacking a PS3, no one has ever done it from over the internet, and we're pretty confident that no one can.
Mind you, coming from me that will sound very biased! But perhaps our community members can reassure you that this is safe?
My PS3 is in a DMZ, if that'll reassure you
The benefits are that your side of gaming wont cause any connection problems. What it cannot do is protect you from dropouts/disconnects from users who are connecting from behind a ridiculously secure network. -
Is anyone having trouble with their RAZR not ringing or only ringing sometimes? I also lose the use of any voice technology when this happens.

I am glad to know that you like your Nexus! It appears that you are having some issues with your device that we can help with. I completely understand the need of the device to work as it should. Let's start with the Voice Action Commands. Try to disable contact sync to see if the issue persists: Settings -> Accounts & Sync -> Your Account -> Uncheck Sync Contacts. Here is additional information that will help you with voice commands: http://support.google.com/android/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1715292
G-mail Sync issue:
Go to Menu -> Settings -> Accounts & Sync -> G-mail -> Disable sync -> Power off device -> power back on -> go back to enable sync and test.
Let us know if the issue persists with either one of these issues.
Thank you,

Lumia 925, earpiece audio trouble (voice calls)
Background: I am a T-Mobile USA subscriber. Previously owned a Lumia 710, then switched to 810 when it became available. Great products; I've been very happy with both. Two weeks ago gave the 810 to another family member and got the Lumia 925.
I love the 925. The screen is great, the phone is light, and the camera amazing. Except for one thing. The first day I had the 925, I noticed that the audio from the earpiece did not no sound right. While on calls, the earpiece had a nasty buzz to it, sounding like a damaged speaker. The audio quality while on speakerphone was perfect, so I could not blame T-Mobile's network. I took the phone back to T-Mobile and they replaced it, no questions asked.
The second 925 sounded great. The earpiece audio was clear, without any buzzing or audio glitches. I was a happy man and everything was great, that is, until yesterday. Now the second 925 developed a similar bad audio quality during calls, but only from the earpiece. The speakerphone sounds fine, and using a bluetooth headset sounds fine also. It is not easy to describe the "badness" of the audio but there is a significant decrease in quality. The audio level seems to be down; with the volume all the way up, you can barely hear the other caller. The audio also has a buzzy, muffled quality to it, almost as if it is coming out of a tin can, and it is not easy to understand the caller. I tried calling my old Lumia 810 and the sound on the 810 is just fine. The trouble seems to be only the earpiece on the 925.
This morning I went back to T-Mobile and they replaced the SIM card. I'm not sure how that would help, but they said it should help if this is a network issue. That was 5 hours ago and the audio quality has not improved at all. I have also performed a full phone reset, then reloaded my previous settings, but the problem persists. At this point it appears to be a hardware issue, but it is very odd that it happened on the first 925 right away, and on the replacement one as well, but after two weeks. Beside the bad earpiece audio the phone works great. The apps work as they should, and the camera is lovely, but if I first need the device to function as a phone.
I am debating if I should try a third Lumia 925. I am a bit reluctant, as I'm afraid that it might break again. At least now it is within the 30 day return period, but what if this issue happens later? I would love to stick with Lumia but these issues with the 925 are worrisome.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

I'm having the same problem with my Nokia Lumia 925. Voice in the earpiece audio is otherwise ok but when the other person is saying the S-letter in a word the earpiece audio makes it sound like other person is having a lisp or something. It's really annoying. Same effect comes when other person on the line is inhaling or exhaling. There is this whoosh sound the earpiece is making on S-letters, inhale - exhale sounds and on other low frequency background noices. Phone was like this from my first calls after unboxing. ...
I was thinking how to describe my audio problems with 925 but you did it perfectly! I have exactly the same problems with the S-letters, inhaling, exhaling etc. which makes every voice call more or less annoying experience.
I was thinking to replace the unit but the longer I read this thread, the more I start to think this is "a feature" i.e. bad design and/or poor HW choices. That said, ff this is so common issue, I wonder howcome there wasn't anything about this in those several reviews L925 was subjected to when it was released. Or are the reviewers so busy in testing the 'smart phone' feature that they do not spend time to mundane stuff like voice call quality.
I love the phone otherwise; looks great, has fantastic camera, crisp and cleat display - anyhow, had I known about this, I would have left this to the store.
EDIT:

I was making a Skype call from my Lumia 925 yesterday and with Skype the earpiece audio was clear and there was no whooshing disturbing the call. So i guess the speaker is working properly in Lumia 925 but the problem might be in 3G/4G reception (or somewhere else) that disturbs the call quality creating this whooshing in a call.
Havent' tried myself but if this is true, this starts to sound like some voice codec issue. ...which would be strange since one would think that the same speech encoding/decoding implementations are used in all Lumias so why would there be problems specifically in 925.
The good with this option would be that it's probably possible to fix with SW update. Provided that Nokia is aware of the problem or better yet, interested to anything about it. -
Trouble getting all voice memo's to transfer to iTunes.
I have an iPhone 3, and have recently started to have trouble saving voice memos into iTunes.
I record myself practicing playing music, so the clips are usually 3 min but can be up to 10-15. In the past I've had 25 min recordings transfer just fine, so this is a mystery.
When I plug iPhone into my laptop, it egins syncing in iTunes and some voice memoes will transfer but not all. The ones that wont, are also split - some will play on the phone & some wont.
Any ideas?
thanks

Trouble backing up and restoring voice memos
I tried to save my voice memos from my iphone 5s to my (pc) computer. I successfully did this one month ago, I created a backup of my iphone and then synced the iphone with the computer. Now a month later I am trying to do this again with the new voice memos. I plugged my iphone in and made a backup and then tried to sync the phone. When I tried to sync, itunes told me that my iphone is synced to another itunes library. (not true, I last synced it to this same library on this same computer!) Since I had just made a backup, I figured it should be safe to sync (which means erasing the phone, because itunes claims that my phone is synced to another computer), and then restore from the backup I just made. I did this, and everything was restored except the voice memos. There are only voice memos from the last month, and nothing previous to that. (also strange, there are two of each voice memo!) When I use 3rd party software to see what is contained in the backup, it says there are 300 voice memos. However, when I restore from this same backup, there is only a small portion of that. Why is this happening? How do I get my voice memos back? I could buy the third party software to extract all the voice memos, but these files don't contain the names I gave them, only a numeric code containing the date and time they were made. This isn't very useful. I want the voice memos back on my phone, with their names intact.
Also, for whatever reason, when I last tried to sync my phone a month ago, apparently it didn't actually put the voice memos into my itunes folder on my computer, so even though I thought that voice memos from before a month ago should be safely saved on my computer in itunes, they actually aren't. This means I have lost ALL my voice memos except for the last month. please help!!! I am just trying to make a second copy of my voice memos on my computer to keep them safely backed up, but every time I do this it ends up deleting the original copy! There must be some way to do this, and to retrieve the voice memos I know are contained in the backup.anyone? help please?

Trouble viewing audio levels in Voice Over tool
Hello,
I often record voice over into Final Cut Pro using the Voice Over tool. In the middle section of the Voice Over window there is a 'Level' meter that flashes Green to Yellow and Red, illustrating the level of audio being fed into the Mac. For some reason though, this has stopped working for me.
My set up is this: A Mic in our voice over booth connects to a Soundcraft 4 channel mixing desk via an XLR cable. The mixing desk is linked to a JVC HD tape desk, which is connected to the Mac via FireWire.
Previously, to capture Voice Over I set the tape deck to 'Line' input, in 'DV' mode and set the Voice Over tool to 'DV Audio' as the source.
I can see sound levels on the mixing desk. I can see sound levels on the tape deck, but I can't see sound levels on the Mac's VO tool. Despite this, it does still capture voice over (I just can't 'see' it).
This problem is annoying because it means Im unsure whether the Mac is actually receiving an audio feed or not unless I do a test recording first.
Any suggestions as to why the Voice Over tool would suddenly stop showing me Levels, would be greatly appreciated!My secondary Mac works fine when the AV settings are set to HDV, despite it receiving standard DV audio input. Whether FCP is set to DV or not doesn't seem to matter in this case.
In trying to resolve the issue I played around with DV/HDV settings within FCP and the Deck; trying different combinations, but with no success.
+To recap (just to clarify in my own head), the situation is this:+
+Both of my Macs, Primary and Secondary, happily record Voice Over, via the Voice Over tool.+
+The Mic in the sound room connects to a Mixing desk via an XLR cable. The mixing desk is also connected to 2 sets of headphones, one for the Artist and one for the Engineer. 2 audio jacks connect the mixing desk to the JVC tape deck. The JVC tape deck connects to my Mac via FireWire to the port at the rear of the Mac.+
+The issue is that the Primary Mac does not display audio Levels in the Voice Over tool, whilst it does on the Secondary Mac.+
+While Im recording Voice Over on my secondary Mac I can see that there is an Audio input because the Green/Yellow/Red bar flashes up. On my Primary mac this bar is inactive and therefore gives me no clues as to the level of audio being fed into the Mac.+ -
