Volume Issues with Full Orchestra

This is my first full orchestra piece digitally - been able to produce quite a few smaller chamber works no problem, but can't get the volume up on this without blowing into the red zone on the Output 1-2. In order to keep the peaks under it, the whole thing has to be bounced at to low of a volume. All my chamber pieces are higher volume on my ouput equipment than this thing.
Help?

I know a lot of movie scores are compressed and limited, but that's because they are composed to support the movie and not "get in the way", but I really don't want to go that way. I'm writing orchestral music and want the full dynamic range.
I've written a lot for orchestra (but not digitally) and am confident I'm not writing things that are compositionally thick/heavy and over-scored. So I guess that leaves "MIDI-rendering", and I'm baffled as to how this one element could keep me from red-zoning. I've tried dropping the velocity and raising the bus and output volumes, raising the velocity and dropping the volumes, pulling back on sends (while pumping up the reverb), pulling back on reverb, using a smaller "room", etc. Nothing gets me the volume needed.
FYI - I'm using VSL almost exclusively as my samples, with Platinum as my reverb.
We live in a world of abundance. Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Volume issues with GE60 Apache Pro-003

    I recently picked up the new GE60 Apache Pro notebook, and I've been running it for about a week now. I should of course mention that I also did a clean windows install after adding an SSD to the system (and now can't figure out how to add back that cool MSI panel that was there when I first got the system).
    Anyway, I've noticed that there seems to be volume issues with the system no matter WHAT kind of settings I tweak, or drivers I try to use. With all sliders up at maximum, the volume levels still never seem to surpass around 50% (from observing the volume gauges in the Windows Volume mixer panel). My previous notebook's speakers put out significantly higher volume, and was also able to put out far more power to my headphones (Audio Technica ATH-M50).
    Any possible ideas for the cause and solution to this problem? Thanks in advance, and let me know if there is anything else I need to mention.

    What are you using to gauge the '50%'? MP3's? Windows sounds? or what?
    Pretty much everything. Music, games, online videos... According to the volume mixer, the audio levels never seem to pass 50%. The grey bar bounces to the peak, but the green bar never seems to pass the 50% level. It's as if there's some sort of limiter in place I'm not aware of. And since I reformatted the notebook as soon as I got it, I was never able to see if the volume control worked correctly before the reformat.

  • Is anyone having volume issues with the new Iphone 4S?

    Is anyone having volume issues with the new Iphone 4S?

    Yes, the volume on my iPhone 4s will max out without me touching any button or setting.  When opening mail, for instance, the ringer icon will appear and the volume level goes to max volume - and I'm not touching the volume buttons.  It seems to happen randomly, at least I can't identify a pattern, but thankfully it doesn't happen all the time, but at least once a day.  
    Anyone else seen this?

  • OS X LION Issues with Full-Screen; iPhoto, Image Capture & Mail

    Hello,
    I'm experiencing un-Apple-like issues (bugs) with Lion in Full-Screen mode.
    For example - iPhoto doesn't seem to like Full-Screen mode. If iPhoto is open and I connect a camera, for which I prefer Image Capture to retrieve my pics... Image Capture opens 'behind' the full-screen iPhoto, but I can't get to it. Image Capture shows as open on the menu bar in iPhoto's full-screen mode. If I go to the desktop (where it should be opening) Image Capture isn't 'on top' and clicking it takes me back to iPhoto full-screen
    Similarly, if I get mail and return to the desktop (the only way to see the dock) and I click on the 'Mail' app icon - I am catapulted into Image Capture... or iPhoto. Returning to the Desktop to click the Mail icon from the dock... takes me to Image Capture... or iPhoto. The 3rd try takes me to the Mail.app which is usually always open and in full-screen mode.
    While I'm complaining about bugs, I'd like to mention that I am fully dismayed by the loss of control in full-screen mode when using apps such as Mail or iPhoto. The Mail app opens an email to edit (such as a reply) but you can't access any other mail docs to 'cut and paste' info from. I can only click SEND or CANCEL.
    What if I don't want to CANCEL? I just want to go to another email and cut a piece to paste.. I have to exit full-screen mode which allows me to open two email documents at once, then cut and paste. Essentially Mail in Full-Screen is only a reader... not a work area. I can only access the document I have open, since it greys out the Message Viewer. You can't click on the message viewer nor access any of the features of Mail.app. You can only write your email and either Cancel or Send. Where is the 'hold on a second while I go cut and paste'? I don't want to cancel.
    Can't seem to use Safari since I'm constantly three-finger swiping it away. My cursor hovers over a text field and suddenly it's zooming in and locks text input. I have to iPhone-like swipe to expand to exit this inadvertent partial (very slight) zoom. Sometimes the zoom is so partial that I can't figure out what's going on until I just exit full-screen mode, close the window and start over.
    Seems like I'm starting over and over and over... just to do simple things. Inadvertent zooming, inadvertent 3-finger returning to Desktop, inadvertent changing apps... ugh.
    I'm willing to let go of the old and embrace the new future but so far it's been pretty uncomfortable for me to constantly monitor my overly sensitive trackpad gesturing combined with constant bugs and glitches. I'll save complaining about iPhoto's over-simplification (apparently for dummies) like the new Edit menu, Export menu, etc.. since it's more iLife than Lion related. Rate Lion: 2 out of 5 stars for ease of use & features complicated by unrefined software issues.

    I've tried follwoing these instructions but I have an issue with
    # Create snort user. The intention is to let user snort have access only to the snort database.
    $ sudo createuser -U _postgres -P snort

  • Cisco Agent Desktop / Supervisor Desktop Issue with Full Disk Encryption

    Has anyone had any issues related to running Cisco Agent Desktop or Cisco Supervisor Desktop on a machine running full disk encryption?  Our desktop team installed full disk encryption software from Check Point, and it seams to be causing some issues with call monitoring, screen pops via workflow and connectivity to the UCCX server.  It's not effecting every machine (that we know of), but the fix for us right now is to provide a desktop without the encryption software.  I'm just wondering if this is related to us, or if there is any supporting documentation out there? 
    Any help is apprecicated.

    CAD for IPCCX v4 does not support windows 7. See compatibility matrix:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/crs/express_compatibility/matrix/crscomtx.pdf
    In my experience if you already have CAD installed and you upgrade the OS (without a fresh rebuild) CAD will work - but it is NOT supported. You should test this though.
    You will not be able to install the older version of CAD on windows 7, the installer will give you errors.

  • Issue with Full Screen & Input languages (Mavericks 10.9.1)

    I have two issues with the latest (Version 8.0.24308) Microsoft Remote Desktop from the Mac App store:
    1. If I tick the connection entry "Start session in fullscreen" option, after connect the desktop slips upwards like on the screenshot (below on the link)
    2. The default input method switches to Latvian after connect (never used Latvian anywhere...).
    On my Mac:
    - System language: Hungarian
    - Input language: Hungarian
    On the server:
    - System language: English
    - Input language: Hungarian (default) + English
    +: the app doesn't supports Retina display resolution :(
    Screen Shot link:
    db.tt/yYKN0arM

    Hi,
    1. The version 8.0.24308 offers updated functionality for full screen mode to users of OS X 10.7+:
    OS X native: The native full screen feature for the Mac OS X version.
    Custom: The custom full screen mode enables the multi-monitor feature in order to provide a better experience for users of Mac OS X versions 10.7 and 10.8.
    Important information for users of 10.9: if you have disabled "Displays have separate Spaces" in Mavericks
    (System Preferences > Mission Control) go to Preferences > Resolution in the Microsoft Remote Desktop client and configure the setting using the same option.
    Please try the OS X native mode and see how it works.
    2. The OS keyboard locale, is suggested to the remote PC. Therefore, please check the keyboard locale.
    Hope this helps.

  • Issue with Full-Text (FTS) master merge on SQL Server 2012 SP2

    Hi,
    On my current project we have really annoying issue with master merge process that occurs after Full Population of FTS Index.
    Let me describe our process: we have continuous build that setup environment and run unit tests after each commit in our source control. For each run we create new DB (on the same SQL Server) then fill it with test data and run unit tests. Sometimes unit
    tests failed because FTS Index population cannot finish in time.
    We have constantly seeing in [sysprocesses] table lots of sessions with wait type FT_MASTER_MERGE that block our tests
    In FTS log we have following error:
    The master merge started at the end of the full crawl of table or indexed view [TABLENAME] failed with HRESULT = '0x80000049'. Database ID is '45', table id is
    706101556, catalog ID: 5.
    Here is an example of how we create FTS catalog and add table to it (As you can see it's created with auto change tracking together with
    index update in background):
    -- Create FTS catalog
    EXEC sp_fulltext_catalog 'WilcoFTSCatalog', 'create'EXEC sp_fulltext_table 'Users', 'create', 'WilcoFTSCatalog', 'PK_Users'
    EXEC sp_fulltext_column 'Users', 'UserId', 'add'
    EXEC sp_fulltext_column 'Users', 'Name', 'add'
    EXEC sp_fulltext_table 'Users', 'activate'
    EXEC sp_fulltext_table 'Users', 'start_change_tracking'
    EXEC sp_fulltext_table 'Users', 'start_background_updateindex'
    Does anybody know what is the root cause of this issue and what should be done to avoid it?

  • Volume issue with certain songs

    Certain songs will not play as loudly as they do in iTunes on my Mini, I tried turning on and off the sound check option but this actually has no effect on these songs at all. The songs were all extracted from alternative sources (DVDs, Quicktime movies) As I said they play fine in iTunes, but seem really soft on the Mini, especially with background noise.

    You could try one of the 3rd party programs that work more effectively at leveling out the song volume (at least in my opinion).
    For Macs there is iVolume.
    The full version isn't free, but it has a trial version that allows you to use the program with just a few songs at a time so you could try it and see if it has any effect.

  • CRM Data source 0CRM_OPPT_H  issue with full update

    Hi Gurus!
    When I tried to start Full Upload via 0CRM_OPPT_H data source at BW side  I faced with issue that
    No data available
    Diagnosis
    The data request was a full update.
    In this case, the corresponding table in the source system does not
    contain any data.
    System Response
    Info IDoc received with status 8.
    Procedure
    Check the data basis in the source system.
    I have checked the data source via RSA3 at CRM side and can extract 11 entries. The table CRMD_ORDER_INDEX has 39 entries.
    What have I done:
    1. Activate data source at CRM side in RSA5 and can see it in RSA6
    2. Activate BW Adapter Metadata in BWA5
    3. Tried to start full uploading at BW side but got error(No data available).

  • Volume issues with some itunes movies

    I just downloaded the movie Sucker Punch, but when i play it on itunes the volume is very low.  i don't have that problem with downloaded music, just with some movies and it's not the first time it happens, this has happened multiple times in the past.
    all my softwares are up to date as far as i can tell, itunes 11.0.4, on a mac OS X 10.6.8 with 2.26 GHz Core 2 Duo.
    It a bit frustrating because i can't seem to do anything about it, which renders itunes movie store pretty useless to me.
    Please help..

    Hi, aloosh1.
    This can happen depending on how the media was created.  However, there is a solution.  Most media volume can be adjusted by selecting the media, either control click or select the file menu from the menu bar and choose Get Info.  From there you can select the options tab and adjust the volume.  I have attached a screen shot of the process for reference. 
    Hope this helps.
