Volume level adjustment

Well, it's looking pretty good, except for volume levels. The levels were terrific in imovie, but once burned, they are too soft. The menu theme, however, plays nice and loud (this is an imported wav file.)
I can, of course, lower the menu theme volume, but that sounds perfect. It's the imovie files which need to be bumped up, and they are already maxed out in imovie.
Question: Does the slider for volume level in idvd menus have any impact on what plays in the content portion of the menu? Does setting the menu level volume at its midpoint affect imovie sound? If I maxed out that slider, would it bump up the content?
Thanks for your help!

Question: Does the slider for volume level in idvd menus have any impact on what plays in the content portion of the menu?
Answer: No it does not. Only the movie content slider can do this. (ref. yellow hilighted area on menu/play movie and it's appropriate QT content slider which has no effect on volume per se).
Q:Does setting the menu level volume at its midpoint affect imovie sound?
A: No. It will not effect the movie portion of the DVD but only the volume on the menu (as shown above).
Q: If I maxed out that slider, would it bump up the content?
A: No.... assuming you mean the slider that the above black arrow is pointing to. In order to bump up/adjust QT content simply adjust the slider directly above the yellow hilighted movie shown above.
Question for you .... Was all of the video footage used in your iDVD project originally shot in 16 bit or 12 bit audio? (You will get best results when you stay with 16 bit audio only).

Always set your camera's audio to 16 bit if you plan to use i-apps.
Hope this is Helpful.

  • Automatic adjusting of the volum level

    Does anybody know in witch way/how the player does the automatic adjusting of the volum level? How does the automatic adjusting of the volum level work? Is it just the decibel that is "normalising"? How does the player measure it? Are the frequenses exactly the same in a song/tune after the automatic adjusting?
    Is there anything else in the sound that is influenced in any way?

    Again, camickr is great, and, clever.
    Here's the working code basing on his suggestion.
    It is my first time for calling prepareRenderer() from within application code.
    I have had overridden it many times in the past, though.
        width = 0;
        cc = table.getColumnCount();
        rc = table.getRowCount();
        for (int c = 0; c < cc; ++c){

            int w = compo.getPreferredSize().width;
            if (w > maxcw){
              maxcw = w;
          maxcw += 7; // somehow, this handcraft is necessary
          table.getColumn(table.getColumnName(c)).setPreferredWidth(maxcw);
          width += maxcw;
        height = (table.getRowCount() + 1) * table.getRowHeight(); // +1 == header

  • I cannot adjust my volume level

    I'm really hoping that someone out there has an answer for this one. I just bought an ipod nano yesterday and excitedly added songs today, however, I discovered that I can't change the volume level. I can play the songs and adjust the scroll bar in the volume control screen but the volume does not change at all. I've searched various forums for volume control solutions but the only topic I can find involves setting the maximum volume control, I can't find any answers to simply being able to change the volume on a currently playing song. I even tried restoring my ipod, that didn't fix the problem. I'd really appreciate any suggestions you might have!

    I had the exact same thing happen on my 2 day old nano! Using the scroll wheel to adjust the volume only resulted in the volume (and volume bar) going down for a sec and then going right back up to the orginal volume. I reset my nano and it seems to have solved the problem.
    To reset your iPod:
    1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    2. Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
    After I did this it worked fine!

  • Record Level Adjust for Audio in Voice Memo or Video Recorder

    I would like to request that Apple allow me to adjust the record audio volume level when recording in Voice Memo or Video Recorder modes. Often I find that the audio is distorting and most times I cannot step back far enough to avoid distortion levels. While I love the ability to SEE the audio level in Voice Memo mode, I am hoping that it is only a matter of firmware upgrade to be able to ADJUST the record level.
    Also, if it is possible, it would be great to see some indication of audio level when recording video... something simple like a bar graph with green, yellow and red bars with the highest level reached sticking for a few seconds so that I can tell what the level is.
    An alternate solution (if none of the above is possible in a firmware update) would be to automatically adjust the recording level to prevent audio distortion.
    Thanks for the great iPod and here's hoping for a great firmware update in the near future!

    Thanks, I've submitted my recommendation to Apple.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How can I lock a track volume level to never move in Garageband?

    Hi there
    I'm currently creating a backing track of a popular song and I have built up all the parts of the songs against a wav track which contains the original version of the song.
    I want to be able to mix the volumes of the tracks Ive built to the main proper recording, but I need to be able to LOCK the actual wav song track at say the 1.7db mark. Is this possible?
    As I cant do it now, I keep accidently adjusting the volume level of the actual wav song track, so then all my volume mixes on other tracks are rendered useless (As you cant UNDO a volume change back to how it was)
    Even if I engage the padlock "lock" button on the actual wav song track I can still move the volume of that track up and down. So its not 100% locked in my opinion.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Do you mean:-
    Select the track
    Click Down Arrow
    Make sure Track Volume is selected
    Click on the dot that has been created at the start of the track (to check its number level)
    Click on the line now showing at the very end of the song and make sure the NEW dot you've just created is at the same number level as the one at the start.
    As this seems to work.
    If I dont put any dots on it, you can move it as you please still.

  • Project Volume levels in iMovie 10.0.2

    The old imovie 9 provided a 'volume levels' indicator that I found very useful for ensuring a constant volume level throughout any project.
    i.e.
    Is there an equivalent facility somewhere in the latest imovie version please?

    No, not as it did in iMovie 9.
    You can view the wavefroms though, they will change colour from blue->yellow->red depending on the volume.
    The "automatic" adjust will analyse all clips and adjust them; not only volume but also background noise sound improvement etc. You can manually override these adjustments and you also can change your volume and other sound-settings per individual clip.

  • ITunes volume level vs. OS X volume level

    Hello,
    Is there any method to "lock" the iTunes volume level to OS X? Ie. i don't want two options to adjust volume level (inside iTunes and in OS X on my MacBook Pro). I just want one. The thing is that i want to be able to adjust the volume level using the Remote app on my iphone. But i always leave the volume bar on max inside iTunes, so i'm only able to decrease the volume and not increase it.
    Let me explain this with an example:
    iTunes is playing some song.
    iTunes volume is a 100%
    OS X volume is at 50%
    I'm not next to my computer and i wan't to increase the volume of the music.
    I pull out my iphone from my pocket, launch Remote and the volume bar is at 100% - hence i'm only able to decrease the volume.
    Until now i would turn down the volume in itunes to lets say 50% and the volume in OS X to 100%. That way i would be able to both de- and increase the volume from the Remote. But this means that all other sound on my MacBook is at 100% and that is sometimes too loud.
    So what i would like some patch or app that adjust the volume in itunes if i manually adjust the OS X volume, to match the same percentage. And vice versa; if i adjust the volume in itunes (inside itunes on my mac or through the Remote app) it should adjust the it should automatically adjust it to the corresponding percentage in OS X.
    Thanks.

    are you using Sound Check?

  • Setting default volume level.

    I have a 2nd Gen Nano which I am using in my car. I have an OEM adapter which connects to the iPod through the dock adapter and allows the car's stereo controls to operate the iPod. (The stereo thinks it's a really big CD changer.)
    My problem is that the sound level from the iPod is significantly lower than that from either the radio or the actual CD changer, so when I have finished listening to the iPod I have to be careful and remember to crank the volume way down or else the radio blasts when I select a different source.
    Looking at the iPod I have made sure that the volume limit is set to maximum, and I am confident that I don't have a EU crippled unit since the sound level through the earbuds is plenty loud even at half volume and keeps going up from there.
    The thing is that when it first wakes up the volume level is always set to 50% on the slider. I cannot manually change the volume level when connected to the car because when it's connected to the adapter the iPod's controls don't work (besides it is mounted in a fairly inaccessible location), but I don't even know if doing so would help since it communicates with the stereo through the dock connector.
    My question is: Does the iPod's volume control have any effect on the signal level out through the dock connector, and if so is there a way to permanently adjust the default volume level the unit uses when it starts up? What I'd like to do is set the default volume level on the iPod to, say, 75% or whatever will balance it with the other source input levels that the car stereo uses. I tried adjusting the volume manually and then sliding the lock switch to 'Lock' but it didn't work.
    Thanks in advance.

    This sounds like the problem that I'm experiencing and <a href-"http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2694517#2694517">aske d about a couple of days ago. The sound level resets to 50% after shutdown.
    I tried setting the levels in Audio MIDI Set Up as suggested above, but that hasn't changed anything.
    In answer to B_web, I am running my external speakers through the headphone jack.
    So, any other suggestions?

  • Burned CD volume level too low

    I have noticed that CDs burned with GB are at a lower volume level than commercially recorded CDs. The GB master volume is as high as I dare go without constant peaking. Can this be adjusted some other way?

  • VOLUME LEVEL TOO LOW

    Is there any way to increase the volume level beyond that normally available. Some movie tracks need a much higher level.

    It is not illegal. Apple has limited the sound level of their ipods over the past few years over complaints that they could be turned up so loud that people were damaging there hearing and so they took measures for the public safety to limit the volume. Personally I feel that if your stupid enough to turn it up full blast (old ipods unrestricted volume) for such periods of time that you damage your hearing that your just stupid.
    Apart from adjusting volume in itunes the only other thing you can do is do the following on your ipod.
    Go to Settings>Music>Volume Limit Check whether this has been turned down at all if not turn it up all the way. Maybe this will help.

  • I would like to have more volume levels on my iPad / iTunes

    I have a pair of active speakers from B&O and when i play music on the lowest level on my iPad it is sometimes to loud. I therefore need finer level differences when adjusting the volume. Right now there are 16 levels and something like 30-50 levels would do the job. Any suggestions?!?

    Brilliant - thanks!
    It's difficult to control but i can get below the volume level that is the lowest when using the volume control on the side so i guess that it does the job.
    Thanks for the input!

  • Volume leveling firmware update request

    I once had an old mp3 player that would automatically adjust all songs to match an equal playback volume level. However, on the iPod Classic 80 GB model, my songs play at unequal levels; I always have to turn the volume up for songs ripped from audio CDs. Could Apple release a software update to add the auto playback volume leveling to the iPod? Could this be included in Firmware version 1.1.3?

    The program is run on the songs in the iTunes library, then the songs are re-synced to the iPod.
    As far as I know, it can't be run on songs already on the iPod (at least iVolume, which is what I use can't).

  • Can i change the volume level for just a part of a track?

    i am trying to raise the volume level for just a little section of a track without raising the volume for the whole track, just a one little section. can i do that on garage band? how would it do that?

    Yes you can
    On the track instrument selector, there is a row of small buttons, one being an upside down triangle. Click the triangle to display Automation. The default controller is Track Volume. You will see a bright green line which is the volume level throughout the track..
    Simply, go to the location where you want to reduce the volume, click on the green line to insert a control point. The first click is used the maintain the current volume. Go to the point where you want the volume to be reduce to, and click-and-hold the line and drag the new control point to the target volume.
    NOTE: Use the Shift key to adjust incremental amounts.
    Have fun!!
