Volume level when exporting

Hi guys,
I have a question about the volume level when exporting a project to .mp3.
I seems that the volume level when exported is a lot lower then the volume level on the rest of my music i iTunes. When trying to enhance the volume level with 3rd party software the sound quality becomes rubish. I tried everything that I could think of but nothing seems to work.
Is there anyway to adjust the volume level when exporting to take care of this problem?

Different volumes levels when I record tunes on a CD?

There are different volume levels when I copy tunes from my I-Tunes library. I'm trying to make a Sinatra CD from my I-tunes library and some songs are loud, others I can hardly hear. There must be a way to overcome this problem, but I don't know what it is. Can anyone help?

Repeating a post I made on another thread:
iVolume claims to work with iTunes' Sound Check to play songs at the same volume. The iVolume FAQ says the adjustment will carry over to burned CDs & iPods, too. It will not work on Music Store downloads due to DRM.
I've read people on this forum say it works pretty well. It's US$15.

Quicktime Pro doesn't hold audio levels when exporting (or "sharing").

I just upgraded to Quicktime Pro for one reason only: to add my music to an exsisiting video (that has it's own embedded dialog track) and posting to a webpage for review. Adding my music is easy. Setting the level of my music is easy. Saving and reopening with everything intact is easy. The problem is when exporting to another format. I've been choosing the preset called "Braodband Medium". It's the h.264 codec and AAC audio etc...
After the export, my music level has been "bumped up" to 100% - drowning out the dialog track. I've tried it on 3 different Macs with the same result. Does anyone else have this problem? It seems like a glaring problem that needs fixing.

Confirmed.
Export your original two track file to your required settings (Broadband Medium), add (scaled to selection) your second audio track, make the volume setting adjustments (Movie Properties window) and Save As.
QuickTime files can have up to 99 tracks.

Higher volume level when bounced to iTunes

The volume level of a bounced, (completed) tune I send to iTunes is significantly higher than when it is in the Logic Express program and I am working on it. Is this because it is a 32-bit file concerting to 16-bit? Are 16-bit files louder? Is it because it is a "flattened" file? Is this normal behaviour? I am not complaining, as I have thought the levels in Logic are too low (well, significantly lower than a CD or purchased AAC file. Any enlightment would be appreciated.

Hi,
perhaps, you have used the normalize checkbox of the bounce function. Normalizing raises (or lowers) the volume of a bounced file so that it's loudest peak is exactly at 0dbfs. So, a very soft song will probably be raised in volume. A song with loud peaks that exceed 0db may be lowered in volume. But you could also get inpredictable results, for instance, if you have an average soft song with one big peak, the whole song will be lowered in volume because of this one peak.
You can avoid these strange effects by incorporating a limiter plugin *as last plugin* in the stereo output channel from which every bounce is taken. In the limiter, raise the gain just enough to have a good signal that is just below 0db, and the limiter will cut off everything that eventually will peak above it.

Saving of the Volume-Level when powering off S750

Hi, i want to use the s750 in combination with a system that powers-off my monitor, s750, etc when my pc will be shut down... My question now is: will the s750 save it volume level after it is powerd-off? (by tuning it off OR disconnecting the power cable when it was turned on). And does it automatically turn itself on again when i connect the powercable again or do i need to turn it on manually then? (if the power cable was disconnected while the s750 was powerd-on)

When plugged in it starts in standby mode, so you have to turn it on at the remote/pod. Annoyingly when you unplug it it forgets the volume settings (including the individual satellites settings). It remembers the settings when going to/from standby (ie pressing the pods power button).
Its especially annoying because when I had one i measured its power usage. I cant remember the figures now, but it was high enough in standby that I started turning it off at the plug.

Getting "Unable to create VOLUMES/" error when exporting photos

I am trying to export a number of photos from iPhoto '08 to a USB stick that has been freshly formated with FAT 32. When iPhoto reaches a photo that has a vertical orientation the export stops and throws this error:
"Unable to create VOLUMES/JUMP DRIVE/filename"
These photos were taken with a Canon Powershot SD700IS. The camera has the ability to sense orientation when the picture is taken. It will automatically rotate pictures that were taken while holding the camera on its side. If the picture was taken with a horizontal (normal) orientation the export is successful.
I was able to work around this by opening the offending files in Preview and saving them from there. Obviously this is a time consuming extra step that shouldn't be necessary.
If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate them!
Thanks!

Then you have a managed library.
Go to your Pictures Folder. There you'll see the icon for your iPhoto Library. Right Click on that icon and select 'Show Package Contents' from the resulting menu. A Finder window will open and you'll see your Library internals. Have a look for the /Originals Folder. Inside it will be the folders for your Events. These should include the full sized photos.
If they do, then
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

My music drops volume level when I get a notification, and won't return to the volume level it was set at until I get another notification

When ever I get notification from fb/messenger/emails, my music volume lowers by some margin, and will not return to the set level until I receive another notification. I try attempting to turn it up but the volume is at its highest limit.
How can this be fixed? Is anyone else having this problem?

Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking theDevices tab, and enabilng the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software availbable to assist you with this task.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

Volume level when i play my Ipod

Hi guys, I need some help with this. I'm a totally new usser of an Ipod and I'm having some problems whit the level of the volume in some albums. When I insert a new cd in my computer, itunes always ask me about if I want to import the songs but never show me a kind of opptions about the volume in the recording so I have some especific albums that when I play it, the volume is lower than the rest of my other albums ¿what can I do? this is especially a problem when I use my Ipod in my car (FM converter).
Thanks in advance

Soundcheck is what you should be looking for.
It's in the edit/preferences/playback menu. Once you do this iTunes will go through all your imported songs files, so you'll need to sync the songs to your ipod again to reflect the changes.
Also, turn on the soundcheck feature in your iPod. Settings/soundcheck/on.
When you import a cd into iTunes, there is no option to adjust the volume.

Audio Levels when exporting are too low

so i tried searching the forums to find an answer, but couldn't really find one. Everytime i export a project from FCP (as WMV, Flash, Quicktime, whatever) the audio levels are extremely, extremely low...to the point that I have to bump them up to +12 and duplicate the audio layers several times. I have to imagine there's an easier way to doing this.. any ideas?
thanks
Paul

I didn't know you could export to WMV in Final Cut. Must be a new feature since the Apple/Microsoft merge....
As far as the audio, how are you monitoring it in FCP? You might have your speakers (or headphones) turned up really loud, so you think the levels are fine until you export. Also, look at the audio meter. You should judge the overall volume by that, not by your speakers. It's kind of like a waveform scope for audio.
Check on those two things and report back.
jesse.
ps. just kidding on the merge. that'll start some rumors.

"Unable to create volume" error when exporting

Exporting photos from iPhoto gives me the "unable to create Volume" error. iPhoto and Mountain Lion are the latest versions, and most recent updates. Library of 30,000 images is currently on an NAS. Destination drive is formatted Mac OSX Extended (Journaled, Encrypted).
Library has already been rebuilt. No change.
PNGs have been deleted from library. No change.
Tried batch re-titling every image in the library library, and exporting so that exported files were named according to title, followed by a number--thus no two files would have the same name. No change.
Any suggestions?

Library of 30,000 images is currently on an NAS.
Likely cause right there.
iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.
Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?

Can you set PDF zoom level when exporting from ID?

I do many documents for proof and regardless of how the end user is going to view them, I like them to open as a full page ("Fit Page" zoom level) - I want the viewer to get the overall impact of the layout before they see just the top half or upper corner.
Right now, I export from ID and have to manually set the zoom level in Properties from within Acrobat Pro. Is there ANY way to set a default export zoom level to save this step, which I have to do many times on most days?

Only if you export using File > Export > Adobe PDF (Interactive). Not if you're using File > Export > Adobe PDF (Print),

Audio levels when exporting a video.

Hi,
I am not really a video person (hence the reason for this question) so please ignore my ignorance. With new broadcast standards introduced as of the 1st Jan 2013 in Australia we are providing all our audio to video production houses with the correct level, however somewhere in their editing process the levels of these audio files are changing (usually lower) so they are then not compliant. This seems to be happening mostly with adobe premiere. What is the best adivce I can give them so that the audio we provide to them is the same from when they import into adobe to when the video is finalized,
Thanks

The best advice is to tell them their work is coming back non-compliant and you can't have that. Let them figure out why and solve it. (That's is part of their job, after all.)

Volume levels when burning finished product

I just burned a project from imovie 11 onto a dvd using idvd. The volume came out much lower on the burned dvd than it was in imovie. Is this common? If I finalize and/or do expert settings and then burn the project, will that help? Or do I need to bump up the volume on all of my clips?

Using Sound Check for audio CD burning has been quite hit or miss for users with different gear since at least version 4.x from what I can recall. However, when a problem like this only affects certain systems, it's hard to pinpoint when it really started. Also, with Sound Check, it's up to users' perception of loudness whether the routing did its thing like it was supposed to or not.

Should I schedule a repair because my iPad's speakers sound a little scratchy at high volume levels when it's a high note or something like that, is this regular?

Should I schedule repair or is it normal?

You have my sympathy for your dilemma as far as aesthetics go. My previous iMac was the 17" core 2 duo and, like you, I think it had a nicer, more artistic look about it and it fit in well with the decor of my office. Even though they are basically the same in overall design, the newer aluminum models do seem to have a somewhat jarring industrial appearance. Nevertheless, I wouldn't spend that amount of money to repair an old machine just because I thought it looked better than the new models. I'm happy that I replaced my old white iMac but then I wanted the larger, brighter screen as well as the faster processor and better graphics card and all that other guy stuff . And now with the even newer and better iMacs out there it makes much more sense to go for one of those rather than to repair and keep your old one. More ram can be added very cheaply now and you can add a lot more to the new models than you have on the old machine. I'm not sure whether or not your old speakers would work with one of the new machines but a new set isn't really all that expensive and they might even be better. And actually, even though I noted earlier that the aluminum models have that industrial look (to me at least), those glass screens are great for graphic work. Much better than the old ones.
Good luck

Opacity level changing when exporting text with alpha

Hello,
I am hoping someone can shed some light on what is happening with my opacity levels when exporting text with an alpha. I have animated text where some words are black at 50% opacity and some words are white at full opacity. They are on a textured background. I need to give the other editors a version of the text married to the background and one that is just text with an alpha. When I export it and bring it into Premiere, the "married" version looks fine, but the black in the version of the text with alpha appears more transparent. I can fix this by changing the blend mode to Hard Light or Luminosity, but this alters the color of the white text slightly (and I should note that the blend mode in AE was normal). I can of course work around this by exporting my black and white text separately, but I was hoping someone might know why this is happening.
I am working on AE CC (ver12) and Premiere CC (ver7)
Thank you!

Rick, I am judging visually.
I have since taken the cue from Mylenium, and I think the problem has to do with the fact that AE's default opacity is not linear and Premiere's is. When I change the sequence settings of Premiere and uncheck "Composite in Linear Color" the blacks of my clips match. Similarly when I change my Project Settings in AE and check "Linearize Working Space" the blacks appear lighter as they did when with the text only clip in Premiere. Since I am working with other editors that are using Premiere, I assume I should change the settings in After Effects to match Premiere (linear). Unless there is any reason I shouldn't do that?
Thank you,
-Keri
