you're thinking of an auomation curve. turn it on from above the track headers, then you can adjust the volume line in a track

  • How do I boost the volume of a track, and a section within the track?

    Thanks for any help.
    I'm fairly new to logic and I'm trying to figure out how to boost the volume of a track. I know how to adjust it in the mix, but I have some imported audio files that still aren't loud enough overall. Is there a way to "boost" the volume of the track, so that it adds dB levels to the track overall? Not just turning the level of the track up, but actually boosting the volume of what's in the track? I turn it all the way up to 6.0, and it still isn't loud enough... I'd rather not have to double the track.
    Also, is there a way to boost the volume of certain sections of the track, besides using automation?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!!
    Chris

    First, welcome to the Apple Discussion Forums!
    Try this. Double click on the track and the Sample Editor will come up. Select the section you want to boost and select Functions -> Change Gain. But keep in mind, boosting the signal will also boost the noise.
    Hope this helps.

  • Help with exporting tracks from Garageband into iTunes please?!

    I have voice-recorded a list of Italian words and phrases which I want to import into iTunes as separate tracks so that I can shuffle them & test myself to learn them. So far I have been using the cycle region to import each word but it is taking forever! I beieve it is not possible to have multpile cycle regions and have been playing about with the markers using the podcast track but I can't get it to export in chapters either.
    Is there a way to split a single track in Garageband and import it as mulitple tracks into iTunes all at the same time?
    Thanks for any help you can give me!

    the chapters only work when you actually burn to CD. I assume that's correct?
    for your purposes, yes (technically it would create podcast style chapters so you could jump past a section, for instance, but not in a shuffle fashion like you want)

    I'm guessing that will take an awful lot of CDs?!
    you could use a re-writtable, but no, this doesn't sound like a really workable solution for what you're doing.

    Just two of the chapters has already become 220 'songs' in iTunes and over 20MB.
    one thing you should be doing is selecting the "compress" option in the export dialogue. you can probably use very aggressive compression for spoken word since hi-fidelity wouldn't be that important (you might experiment with a custom setting to see how low you can go with it still being acceptable)

    I wonder how much would fit onto a CD
    in terms of audio, it's time, not disc space. a standard CD holds 74 minutes of audio (some store 80)
    you could try an audio editor instead of GB:

  • Is there a way to import several tracks at once from my Boss BR8 so that they show up as separate tracks in GarageBand?

    Is there a way to import several tracks at once from my Boss BR8 so that they show up as separate tracks in GarageBand?

    I had to google your device - looks like it's a vintage multi-track recorder that records to Zip disks. So I guess there's no digital USB or Firewire multichannel output and no way to transfer your tracks digitally - or is there? If not, your only option is to record the device's audio track by track into GB.

  • Tracks skipping within the track in iTunes 11.1.5, Windows 7

    I am currently having trouble with the tracks in my iTunes library skipping within the track as it streams, is there something I can do to resolve this?
    Initially I thought it was just the songs that I bought through iTunes that were having issues but it seems to be any of the songs I listen to that is having this issue. Even if it is something I tried to reimport from CD. I have only been having this issue over the last two to three weeks.
    I have Windows 7 HP and iTunes 11.1.5.
    If this has been discussed before my apologies.

    Hi The Frazzled Shinigami,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I recommend the troubleshooting steps in this article if all songs are skipping when you play them in iTunes:

  • Volume Changes From Track to Track

    Hello Everyone,
    I am annoyed that songs on my iTV change volume drastically from track to track. I can adjust the volume on loud tracks in iTunes but the adjustment is not carrying over to the songs that sync to iTV.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to make all my songs play at a consistent volume through my iTV?
    Thanks!

    Well, actually the volume adjustment in iTunes does seem to work on the Apple TV. I think the sync just wasn't taking at first. With persistent synching and some experimentation with the volume adjustment, it does seem to work!
    Thank you!

  • Changing volume on bounced track

    trying to lower the volume on track i am trying to bounce. it's too hot. i've tried lowering the volume on the track in the mixer but the bounced track is unchanged. tried lowering the gain and still no significant change. something this basic shouldn't be this complicated. i'm new to logic from sonar on a pc which was sooooooo user friendly compared to logic. ***. can anyone help.

    Check Track Automation and delete any stray nodes on the track. Set the optimum level and re-bounce.

  • My I pod will not display volume bar or track time.

    I have an Ipod Nano, but all of a sudden it quit showing the volume bar and track times of my songs. In place of the track times are 5 dots going across the bottom of the screen. Does anyone know what is going on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    To Michal,
    It's not a problem!
    It's the way it is supposed to work!
    See the last paragraph on page 24 in the manual:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iPodnano_FeaturesGuide.pdf
    "Depending on what type of audio you’re listening to, you can press the Center button repeatedly from the Now Playing screen to get to other information and options, such as the rating screen for songs and audiobooks, album art, podcast information, reading speed, and more. Click the Menu button to return to the previous screen. "

  • Is there a way to change the volume of a track in the middle of a song on iPhone?

    I am writing some songs, but I don't know if I can change the volume of certain tracks during certain parts of the song. I know you can change them for the WHOLE THING, but I want to drop down the volume of the background instruments, so I can start the solos much better.

    Hi this is said to be working but I haven't tested it:
    if (sequencer instanceof Synthesizer)
         Synthesizer synthesizer = (Synthesizer)sequencer;
         MidiChannel[] channels = synthesizer.getChannels();
         // gain is a value between 0 and 1.
         for (int i=0; i<channels.length; i++)
              channels.controlChange(7, (int)(gain * 127.0));

  • Adjusting Volume Levels in Track Volume Editor Question

    I have started to experiment with the track volume editor available in the track mixer ...
    I set some graph points and adjusted the volume of a track in various areas ..
    It all worked great ...
    Then I noticed I did not have access to the track volume slider as it was dimmed out ...
    With some good advice from hangtime I was able to undim the track volume slider .... but now I have not been able to progress from there ..
    When I open the track volume editor of other tracks that have not been tampered with yet ... and move the track volume slider ... I can see the volume line move up and down ...
    Now if I go back to the track that I have manipulated the volume ... and move the volume slider ... nothing happens to the volume line.
    I am assuming that after you make adjustments in the volume editor you can no longer adjust the initial output line ... Is this correct ..? If so ... what is the point of undimming the blue button?
    Also .. I'm kind of sure that I read somewhere that there is a key combination that will reset this volume line to unity .. at least that will let me start over again and give me access to the overall volume ...
    Thanks for any help ....

    Thanks for the reply ...
    So you have to reset the line to enable the fader .... as I mentioned before .. isn't there a key command to do that .. rather than having to delete all the graph points ...?
