Volume control while burning CDs

When I burn CDs from itunes there are songs with different natural volumes. I've tried checking and unchecking the "use sound check" option in edit/preferences/advanced/burning, but the volumes of different songs are still different after burning to a CD. Does anyone know how to set all volumes to the same level on the CD?

Sound Check for burning does not work as advertised, and has not ever done so thru all the releases that I have used. You can try manually adjusting the volume of the individual wayward tracks, via Get Info > Options > Volume Adjustment.

  • Error 4261 issue while burning CDs.

    Hi... I have unfortunately received error 4261 while burning iTunes music onto a CD.  Fortunately, others have shared some great information through venues like this.  I have gotten through some of the suggestions on my own, including reducing the burn speed, trying different brands of CDs, and running diagnostics and updates.  My CD-ROM diagnostic did not reveal any problems nor did it indicate any software updates were necessary.  I did install a JAVA update and ran the "microsoft updates."  After I did this, iTunes was no longer working and I had to repair my iTunes installation.  Regardless of the updates and slower burning speeds, I am still having problems.
    Others seem to have cited anti-virus and firewall issues as the source to this problem. I haven't gone there yet because I don't want to compromise the integrity of the system since I don't exactly know what to "fix" there.
    Here are my iTunes diagnostics for the CD/DVD drive connections.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • How to restore the volume control while playing music in iTunes

    How do I recover the volume control (slider at the bottom of the screen) in iTunes when playing music? After I plugged the device into an iHome speaker, the volume control dissappeared.

    generdude,
    Not that I know of, but you can turn it off completely by going to System Preferences...>Sound>Sound Effects>Alert volume: (Uncheck) Play feedback when volume is changed.

  • Volume Controls while Sleeping...

    I accidentally did something cool the other day... I think. Can anyone tell me how to do this again =)
    When u hit the button on the top (to unsleep it, bring to "slide to unlock" screen) you cannot access volume controls for music the iPhone is currently playing. Well I believe I somehow had these controls.
    It was the << (back) >>(next) volume, etc.. Was this some fluke.. a glitch? Or can u access volume controls without "unsleeping" the phone?
    Thank You!

    Those were the iPod control buttons
    To do it again press the sleep/wake button once or the home button once(to get the slide to unlock message) then press the HOME button twice

  • Playback volume problems on burned CDs

    When I burn CD's from playlists on my iBook and play them on a home CD player (not iPod), the song playback volumes vary greatly from song to song. Some are very loud and some very soft. Is there any way to control this problem so all songs are about the same volume? The sound check option and going to "file/get info/changing volumes" on individual songs does not help.

    The Sound Check option (Playback) and changing the volumes in 'Get info' does not adjust the volume when burning.
    Ticking the checkbox 'Use Sound Check' in 'Preferences>Advanced>Burning' (for Audio CD only) might do the trick, but I don't find it satisfactory for me.
    You can adjust the volume (gain) for each individual track by using the 'Normalize' function in various audio editors (Audacity, Sound Studio etc.).
    This is a lengthy procedure, but it can be a solution when only a few tracks need adjusting. The tracks are permanently altered, unless you save it as a copy.
    Maybe there are similar programs, but what really does a good job for me, is 'Jam' (roxio.com). You can select all or selected tracks to 'normalize' them.
    Adjusting gain for each track individually is also possible, if some songs need to be louder or softer.
    The adjustments will not alter the tracks, but are saved in a separate file.

  • I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.

    I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.
    I am running Mac OSX 10.4.11. According to the System profiler the CD/DVD drive is a "PioneerDVD-RWDVR-112D." When I compare the information under this heading, the only unusual difference from my iMac is that the G5 reads "Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)." My iMac reads "Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)."
    Under the System Preferences the options are set to "Ask what to do" when a blank CD or DVD is inserted. Music CD set to open iTunes, Picture CD set to open iPhoto, Video DVD set to open DVD player.
    Do you have any suggestions?
    Thanks, Jack

    That's why you want to make a backup of the registry. If you didn't make a backup, use MS system restore to go back. The only values you should remove are UpperFilter or LowerFilter - one or both may be in there and can be removed. If neither value exists, then that is probably why you can't burn and Windows is not recognizing your drive as a writable drive.

    Hi
    Four thoughts
    • Brand and type of DVD/CD Media
    • Burn Speed ?
    • Ever used a Cleaning DVD ?
    • Free space on Main Start-Up Hard Disk ?
    Brand and type of DVD/CD Media: MATTERS
    - Memorex, NoName and other Cheap brands - most probably works for other things BUT NOT FOR VIDEO.
    I only use Verbatim
    - DVD-RW - usually do not work OK but with various kinds of problems. DVD+R is a more modern sort and use to give problems on older DVD-players
    I only use DVD-R
    Burn Speed (in iDVD or alike): Matters
    • Best or Max - is not best
    I set it down to x2 or x4 Max
    Ever used a Cleaning DVD ?
    I use one WITHOUT Liquid but with brushes from time to time
    Free space on Main Start-Up Hard Disk ?
    - Due to that Mac OS X - is UNIX - it behaves likewise. It needs lot's of space on Boot / Start-Up Hard Disk for it's and the applications temp files.
    I never go less than 25GB free space - If HD-Video material is used then 4-5 times more is a good thing.

  • Have tried everything in forum and cant burn cds or import them. itunes says to reinstall but doesn't fix problem.

    Hi.  I have had a message each time I open Itunes. It has varied but includes the following:
    Itunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn cds you must reinstall itunes.
    Itunes helper not installed correctly - Error 7
    Itunes is not the primary __ for CDs/DVDs. Please reinstall itunes
    THE REGISTRY SETTINGS USED BY THE ITUNES DRIVERS FOR IMPORTING AND BURNING CD'S AND DVD'S ARE MISSING. THIS CAN HAPPEN AS A RESULT OF INSTALLING OTHER CD BURNING SOFTWARE. RE-INSTALL ITUNES -
    I went through tons of steps that I found online including all of the steps to Fix Gear Drivers.  I did the registery steps, I updated my CD & DVD drivers, I uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes, Bonjour, Quicktime and all else in the long list.
    Nothing has helped.  What else can be done?  The message has changed as I have done all of the self-fix steps but it won't let me burn disks still and still get errors.
    Help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,
    FYI, the step that has me add back Upperfilters causes Itunes to no longer recognize the drives so I can't do this step.  I have tried everything listed.

    I cross posted also but this forum looks better.
    I've had the same problem. I notice that my Superdrive justs looks at the disc for a bit and then spits it out.
    When I boot from my clone of my 10.4.10 setup, I can mount and burn a CD-R in iTunes, although the names of the tracks and disc are screwed up (while the actual data is correct).
    But in 10.4.11 and Leopard (also testing that on an external drive) the blank disc won't mount at all.

  • Brightness and volume control keys not working with windows 7?

    brightness, volume control and some other keys keys are not working with windows 7 with macbook pro retina. Can I fix it?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Have you installed Boot Camp drivers? You need them to make your computer work properly on Windows, and to use your function keys as Play or Pause, volume and brightness keys.
    To install them, follow these steps:
    1. Press the X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X.
    2. Open Boot Camp Assistant and tick only the option to download Windows support software.
    3. Windows support software will be downloaded and Boot Camp Assistant will ask you to burn it into a DVD or USB drive, so do it.
    4. Start into Windows, insert the DVD or USB drive and install Boot Camp drivers. Your Mac and your volume and brightness keys will be working after installing the drivers
