Volume slider and playback volume...

Hi
I recently purchased a 120GB Classic and, due to the fact that I don't hear too well, you won't be surprised I find it too quiet (if only I'd known about the 'cap' beforehand so I could have got one from the USA...).
I bought a half-decent pair of headphones, which has helped, and also got an inline amp (which increases the 'noise' as much as the volume, so I'm not that sold on it...). Anyway, I had the idea of bumping up the volume on iTunes and re-syncing all the songs, so I did.
I wasn't sure what the effect on quality would be, so I knocked it up about halfway and resynced the iPod. Which took forever.
I'm pretty sure the iPod is now louder, but I may be imagining it - I'm tempted to put the bar all the way to the top, but if the increase is purely psychological it seems a waste of time (and it does take time!).
So, does the volume slider affect iPod playback volume?
Thanks for reading, and thanks again if you can help.

So, does the volume slider affect iPod playback volume?
No. If you increase the volume of a song in iTunes, all you do is make it so that the maximum volume on the iPod is reached before the volume bar is at full.
For example, if you increase a track's volume in iTunes by +100% then when it's on the iPod you will find that that track hits it's maximum volume level at about half volume, and turning the iPod up to full volume will not increase the volume any higher after this point. A track which has not had it's volume altered in iTunes will reach exactly the same sound level, although of course you will need to turn the volume level of the iPod to full in this instance.

  • Is it possible to do the audio capture and playback simultaneously?

    In short :
    Is it possible to do the audio capture and playback simultaneously? . If it is not supported directly by Sun, pl suggest another way to achieve the same.
    In detail:
    I am doing a voice chat application by using the streaming through UDP . I am able to play the byte stream. But , is it possible to capture sound simultaneously (while playing the audio) to send to the other end?

    If you're Airplaying from you computer, you might be able to do this. Here's what I would try:
    Go to the Airplay icon in iTunes. You should see both your Apple TV and your speakers listed as options. Select "Multiple speakers." You'll see both devices together. Turn the volume all the way down on the Apple TV. You should be getting the video on the TV, but only hear audio through the speakers.
    Using the "Multiple Speakers" option will sync the output of your devices so that the sound matches the picture.
    I haven't tried this myself, but I'm thinking this would work. However, this approach will only work when using Airplay from your computer – not from am iPad or iPhone – as they don’t have the "Multiple Speakers" option (as far as I know). It also won't work with content streamed directly to your ATV, obviously, because there's no way to stream from ATV to other devices.
    Let me know if this works.

    10.5.8 with latest garageband 5.1 with MBOX 1. On Nov 4.09 I did a software update, now i get no output volume or input volume to the computer itself. I get it from head phones from my mbox, but not to the computer. Before the software update It worked great. I've tried upgrading software through digidesign .com, but they dont seem to have one for what i need. any way to get my old garage band back? go from 5.1 to earlier? Or maybe it was the upgrade to 10.5.8. update? Can i go back in time lol?
    Any help would be appreciated
    BTW
    Ive tried all the system sound prefs, and garage band drivers. Back and forth.

  • What is happening in the most recent keynote when I click on a slide and it pulses (larger-smaller)  Two of my slides have disappeared in the navigator although if I play through them they are there.

    What is happening in the most recent keynote when I click on a slide and it pulses (larger-smaller)  Two of my slides have disappeared in the navigator although if I play through them they are there and the slides have their orignal number--there are just white spaces where the slide should be and I can only get to the slide by clicking through from the prior slide.  How do I get the sldies back into the navigator so I can see them.  Oddly, they are show up just find on the light table. 

    Try removing any transitions or builds on these slides, or delete the slides then recreate them as fresh slides.
    There are many playback anomalies in Keynote 6 which Apple have said they will be  sorting out next year.

  • Video quality horrible when inserted into slide and downsized!

    My original Captivate video screencapture is 1,000 x 700 px (it has to be this large to capture the entire screen)
    My slide is 780 x 633 (so it can fit on all browsers).
    When I insert the video into the slide and downsize it to fit, the text of the image becomes illegible.
    In the end, I need a high quality, legible video playback exported to HTML that either scales according to the end-users browser, or can be downsized to a size that both fits and retains quality. So far, I cannot get this to happen.
    What is the best way to do this? though I have searched and searched, I cannot find any discussion around this. Any tips would be great. I am using C5.

    Hi there
    Sorry, but you are seeing first hand one of the foundational elements of recording with Captivate. You always want to do as much as you possibly can to ensure you record at the same size you intend to play back. That way there is no loss of clarity.
    So assuming your Captivate movie will ultimately be sized at 780 x 633, you need to record at a size that matches that. Note that this should also factor in the playback control set you are using. Sometimes those add an additional 30 pixels or so.
    The issue is that usually you are dealing with bitmapped (raster) images. And when you choose to play back at a smaller size, you are "squishing" the area and the quality goes to a very hot and bad place in something resembling a basket.
    So if you can, record the screens at a smaller size to start with.
    If you can't avoid this and you have to record at full size, you need to think about how you wish to handle this. One way is to record at your destination size and use the Panning feature of Captivate to move the recording area around. Or, you could just focus on different quadrants of the screen. Your call.
    Hopefully this helps... Rick

  • Record and Playback performanc​e goes down at high frequency

    Hi,
    We're testing record and playback using USRP-2920( LV 2013sp1, NI-USRP 14)
    To test it, we downloaded record and playback example code.
    Signal source is a function generator outputting 6 MHz bandwidth 8 VSB modulation signal.
    USRP Rx parameters are center = variant / gain = 0 / IQ rate = 25MHz and Tx parameters are center = same as Rx center / gain = 0 / IQ rate = 25MHz
    The problem is... in low carrier frequency like 70MHz, quality of playback signal is great.
    But in high carrier freqency like 2.2GHz, SNR and signal power dropped significantly i.e. they tend to drop as carrier frequency goes high.
    And  the strange thing is as carrier frequency is increased, a small peak on the center is increased as well.
    Please check the attatched file to see the tendancy.
    So.. my question is why is this tendancy occures?(we tested another USRP and the result was same as before)
    and what should we do to reduce this effect?
    Regards,
    Youngmin

    Hi,
    I suggest a couple of things:
    NI USRP 2920 is a non-calibrated device. So setting a gain value of 0 at different frequencies could mean a different actual gain. So try increasing the Rx recording gain (on the USRP) in cases where you observe low SNR. Similarly Tx is not calibrated.
    Is the signal recording done with cables or over wireless medium ? You can try to eliminate any spurious signals if you use SMA cables while recording.
    I think the power at the center of the spectrum is the DC offset. You may refer to the DC Offset/LO leakage section in the best practices section here http://www.ni.com/white-paper/13881/en/
    Thanks.

  • Diable "open dialog box" on right mouse click so I can use l mouse to advance to next slide and r mouse click to "go back."  How in PP 2010 for mac????

    Hi Rod,
    As originally stated in my opening post, the SWF is to be inserted into an Articulate '13 slide (what I called an aggregator originally - I tried not to bring them up since I don't want the chatter about "There's your problem - using Articulate"! ).
    Recall that posting this published file to our LMS did not allow right-mouse click functionality as the flash player menu just gets in the way.
    If I insert the captivate 6 files into Articulate as a Web Object (referencing the entire folder with html, htm and assets, and then posted to our LMS, and it DOES allow RM click operations in both IE and FF (although no sound on the Captivate slide in FF). But this is not what we want to do as this introduces 2 navigation controls (the Captivate one and the Articulate Player).
    Why must anything be posted to a web server for this functionality to work?
    I am able to go into the Captivate 6's published folder, and launch the Captivate demonstration by simply double clicking on the index.html file and this works great in both FF and IE after changing the security settings for flash.
    Again - I can not believe I am the only one out there trying to use the right-mouse click feature to do a software simulation by embedding the Captivate SWF into an Articulate '13 project.

  • How can I allow the user to pause the audio of a slide (and restart it) before continuing on to the

    Most of my slides have a combination of test/graphics and voiceover.  I would like to allow the user to pause, resume, and replay the audio of each slide.  I know, as a learner, I sometimes need to go back and hear something again -- or pause until a distraction has passed.
    How can I tie audio to a playbar or set of buttons?  I know if it's video, it can be done.  How do I give them control of the audio? 
    I am in Captivate 7.  My files are .mp3 files.
    Thanks - TL

    You cannot add extra buttons to the playbar but you could add a Replay button to the slide and have this button execute a Standard Advanced action with a Jump to Slide action that points to the same slide you are currently on.  This should effectively jump your user back to the beginning of the same slide.

  • Adding music to more than one slide and not the entire presentation

    I love the way Keynote looks and behaves, but it fails to compete with PPT on certain aspects, such as adding the same audio track to more than one slide and NOT have it play for the entire presentation. Using PPT (and I hate PCs!) you can have a track play for "n" number of slides. I'm frustrated that I cannot do this with Keynote! I don't want the track as a soundtrack for the entire presentation. I want to add another audio track to, say, the last two or three slides only and something else for all the other slides. I looked through the user manual, forums, etc. and found that I can only add a soundtrack to the entire thing or a different audio to only one slide.
    Question: What if I cut (that last two slides) and paste the the slides as a new Presentation with its own soundtrack, then reincorporate that back and paste it into the original presentation? Will that work or will the original soundtrack take over the entire presentation again?

    Anyone remember Claris Works for Mac back in the early 90s? Now, that was a gem! What were they thinking when they got rid of that one (and replaced it with AppleWorks!)?
    Good point, but one which Apple has heard a zillion times, and so sadly chosen to ignore. The really heartbroken among us remember AppleWorks from the mid-'80's, the world's first integrated suite, then ClarisWorks, then AppleWorks; and, of course, Beagle Bros. and BeagleWorks. But since we old f*s are dying off, those complaints will eventually stop. +Sic transit gloria mundi.+

    Besweet, I'm having the very same problem with 60GB colour which was bought new and worked for 6 months before suddenly just not being recognised by PC. I hadn't changed anything at all.
    I've followed all troubleshooting advice and reinstalled and updated iTunes and iPod updater software but all troubleshooting routes seem to hit the dead end of either the need to access the iPod via the PC (which isn't possible as it's not showing up at all) or the iPod in disc mode stuck at "ok to disconnect".
    It's still under 1yr warranty so will have to take to a dealer.
    I'm sorry that's not much help for you but at least you know it's not a unique problem.

  • Master slide and table default - Very confusing behavior

    This odd behavior cost me the last two hours, so I just wanted to check with you folks if you know a work-around.
    Been fiddeling with a new Theme I am building and I was just about to define the default look for a table. Generated a table in the master slides window, applied all formatting I want and I was just about to apply it as the default for this theme (or even this master slide) and POOF - as soon as Keynote finished the
    Format>Advanced>Define Image for Current Master
    the table reverted back to the look of a previous version. No matter how often I truied to re-create the intended look, it always came back in this half-baked form.
    Very irritating, this behavior and I am sure that there is a fix. Anybody any ideas?
    Best Regards,
    /Dirk

    Ok, so I built a new master theme - same effect. The background colors and text formatting for the body of the table would not hold.
    Then I placed a placeholder object into the master slide for the table, did all my formatting, applied it and voila - it carried over.
    Seems that the palceholder did the trick for me.
    Thanks for your support, brian

  • Slides and flicker

    A friend who is more experienced at final cut pro suggested that instead of using Fotomagico to turn a slideshow into a movie that I use the ability of final cut pro to integrate my slides into my movies. My first attempt went badly as there was a lot of flicker and bounce (jagginess) to the presentation and movement of the slides. My friend suggested that I de-interlace the slides and that helped. A lot of the flicker was gone in my second attempt but the bounce in the slides still exists. What happens is that a slide with no movement looks fine. If the slides moves horizontally without zoom, then that is all allright, but there is a little bounce in the slide. If the slide is zoomed in (or out), then slide has a lot of bounce to it. The problem is not noticeable in the canvas on the computer or the simulator in dvdsp, but where I am noticing these problems is when I play the finished dvd on my television. The problem is less pronounced on my non-HD TV.
    I am running Leopard (latest update) with all the latest versions of the final cut suite. The photos are imports at the resolution they came from the camera. Fotomagico handles the photos to movie very well, but it would convenient to have it all handled in final cut pro, plus final cut pro should be able to handle this.
    What am I missing? The de-interlace thing worked to some extent. What is the problem and how can it be fixed?

    I am having this same problem with photos (zooming in and out).
    Although it was mentioned earlier about different reasons for this, I haven't figured out a way to completely fix it.
    If anyone knows, please pass on the information.
    Thanks
