What about volume leveling :(

I've scrapped three CD so far.
How this option works? if it's work.... I will return to JukeBox soon...
I only want that all the tunes I burn on a CD are at the same volume. With Media JukeBox it was so simple and always right.
What's the problem with iTunes? Besides it can't burn continuous live CD.
Who developed this scrap?
Oh, I know... a dumb Mac user?

It does'nt work to check "Use Sound Check" on the burning. Stop saying that to people...
That's funny, because it works for me. Volume levelling is what Sound Check does. That's the whole point.
I encoded an home-made CD in mp3. I checked the volume leveling in both Playing and burning menus. I burned another CD... and no volume leveling... it's the same as the original CD : some songs are to high, and some are too low, like the original CD.
In the "Get Info" window for the songs you're wanting to burn, look at the first tab. Does it have a number listed next to the "volume", like 3.4 dB or what have you?
If it does, then yes, it most definitely works.
If it doesn't, then iTunes has not scanned that song yet. Restarting iTunes usually does the trick to get it into scanning mode for me.
If the SoundCheck volume levelling doesn't satisfy you, well, sorry, there's no other way to do what you want using iTunes. I suggest using some other program to burn. Perhaps Nero or foobar 2000 with the ReplayGain volume adjustment mode will be more to your liking.

Export All Tracks as Audio Files ? about volume levels.

1. Do you export with each track at the volume level in the mix?
2. Or do you set the CS volume faders at 0.0 to get the maximum signal?
The first option allows me to recreate a mix with the volume levels already set.
But the second option gives me audio files at original record levels so that I can create a different sounding mix, or use audio regions in another project, setting levels as needed.
What's the better approach???

I just started exploring Export Tracks to Audio and had the misconception that whatever fader & pan positions were set in the mixer would be rendered in the export. Good to know that Bounce is the way to go if that's needed.
Just be sure to UN check the 'include volume and pan info' esp if someone else is gonna mix for you
On the other hand for archiving purposes including fx and pan and vol is a failsafe way of doing things
My question is really about two situations: The most important one is archiving/future proofing a project, and the other is how best to share a mix with a collaborator.
Good information.
Best
Just make sure

Question about VOLUME LEVELS for BURNING...

when i download music from the itunes store, the volume levels sound fine when i play them from itunes or the ipod. but when i burn the albums to CD, the volume is significantly LOWER than other audio CD's. the same is true when i burn them in mp3 format. does anyone know how to adjust the sound levels (turn them up) when i burn the albums, or is this a common problem with music downloaded through itunes? i don't encounter this when i copy directly from an audio CD and burn to another. someone HAS to know something about this. it's really frustrating. help me out, friends.
Dell E1505 Windows XP

With all due respect, I have burned alot of CDs with soundcheck checked and the recipients of my 'mixes' all complained. I noticed it as well. Perhaps there is another place where user checks soundcheck...?
I know soundcheck can make playing disparate tracks in itunes level, but that does me no good for burning.
Thanks for the reply.
PS: here are reviews I read re: ivolume. I have no idea whether or not they reflect the views of others, but they do exist (source: http://www.macupdate.com/reviews.php?id=12687&pid=142223). I hesitated considering ivolume because some of the problems seem to be linked with itunes 7, which I use.

Question about volume level automation (GB newbie here)

I know how volume level automation works for the master track, i.e. in and out and such, but can you do this with a single track? basically one of the tracks in a song I've recorded has a bit of hiss at the end of it, which I would like to fade out. I've tried to cut that bit out completely, but it ruins the feel of that particular track, so I was wondering if there was a way to make that track fade out.

on the right end of the row of buttons just under the track name, there is a triangle. click it and the automation of the track will become visible. you can automate volume and pan using points on the line that runs throgh the timeline.
before you start playing with complex curves, make sure you've got the level of the loudest part set to where you want it using the slider - otherwise, you'll have to adjust each point on the automation curve to adjust overall volume... that's troublesome (if someone has a work around/key command i'd love to hear it!).

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.

My 10G iPod-Volume Levels Erratic + Freezing...HELP!

Admittedly, I have a 3 year old 10G iPod. But I'd prefer to getting it working well if I can instead of junking it for a new model. We've been through a lot together...ha ha
The problem with mine is that the volume levels jump in-between songs pretty often. I will be listening to it on the bus and then suddenly a new song will start at a mind-numbingly LOUD level, even though I have not touched the pad. At first I attributed it to how albums are randomly mastered at different volume levels, but I generally make a point to equalize them before loading onto the iPod. I also have the sound check function clicked ON.
Anyone heard of this problem? any suggestions?
It will also freeze playing occasionally, even though the song timer continues to play out. I'd say this happens every 20 songs or so. What's that about?
Should I try to revert back to factory settings? Or should I just throw in the towel?

Hi, i bought my Ipod touch 8g last week, now, when i play my music ( without earphones ) the volume is very low even though it is on full, in fact its pretty useless, it was much louder, has anyone got any ideas please? Thanks.

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?

Is it too much to ask from apple, an option for different volumes levels from different apps, including alarm, text, email, basically from every posible app?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Why won't volume levels stay saved? ro

After mixing I save and it appears to save everything. All the recording or overdubs save. It is just the volume controls that keep resetting.
When I open it back up, some of the volume levels on some of the tracks have reset to zero. It doesn't do it on all of the tracks, it is just random ones. Therefore, I am having to remember exactly what I am doing and having to reset and check over everything each time. That's suppose to be the beauty of "saving", so I don't have to keep going back and reset the mixing levels. It appears that after I have added about over 50 tracks, some of those tracks are the ones that start doing this. Anyone know what is causing the volume levels to not stay set at their correct levels on all the tracks? thanks
I have GB '09 version 5.1 and mac osx 10.6.7 snow leopard

Volume level on line-in at 100% but still low sound level when I rec

For many years and hundreds of times I have successfully recorded wave files using a wave editor (Goldwave). I have transferred albums, tapes, and now satellite radio by running stereo cables from my receiver into my line-in on my sound card (using a stereo-to-mono adapter). The volume level on the line-in was always too loud on my old sound card, so I always turned the volume of the line-in down to about 20% and it worked just fine.
Two weeks ago my old sound card fried (don't know the brand - got it from a friend, and I've already thrown it out). I replaced it with a Sound Blaster Li've! 24-Bit. However, using the same configuration (receiver into line-in on card), when I record now the volume level that it records at is way too low. Even when I set the line-in level at 00% the volume that it records at is not even half the level it was with my old sound card set at 20%. Basically, when I record now at 00% on the line-in, the volume level it records at is too low. I have no problem with the line-out level - when I play mp3's or anything else on my hard dri've the volume is crisp, clear, and plenty loud at 40%.
But what is the deal with the low volume recording level? Is there another setting I need to change? Or do I not have the right sound card to do this with? Please let me know if it is a setting issue, or if I just need a different sound card to do this. Thanks.

I've had an Audigy2-nx for a week and have struggled with low
recording levels as well.
Have you tried selecting "what you hear" instead of "Line-In"?
This gives me about 20% higher input levels.
I gave up on MedeaSource for variable bitrate recordings and
moved to dbPowerAmp. (direct recording to lame-mp3)
Others here mention good VBR recordings with MedeaSource, but
it won't exceed 90kbs (average) on my system.
I'm finally getting decent recordings from line-in.

Volume levels burning to CD

I know this problem has been raised before but I wondered what were the latest thoughts on getting consistent volume levels when burning a mixed source playlist to a CD. Some songs on the CD are a lot quieter than others.
In the info box on the individual songs I noticed I have a range of volumes from 2.3db to 12 db.
I have iTunes 6.0.5 and wondered if this is the version 2 that people say has improved on the previous one when it comes to this problem?
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Thanks for the feedback---I was sure i wasn't the only one this happened to. That is an idea about the iTunes version---i need to redo some of my old playlists and see if they turn out better. I did a few playlist that were better---but it's hard to know if the source music is better or the new iTunes.

Equalize Volume Levels Grayed Out

I have been working with premiere pro for quite a while but my company was looking for a way to speed up and simplify the process quite a bit, and since volume has been the main problem soundbooth seemed to be a good choice. From what I have read about the equalize volume levels feature in soundbooth, this would eliminate most of the problems and anyone here would be able to do it. I had the video open in premiere and selected render and replace in sb on the audio, but the option to equalize volume levels is always grayed out. I tried selecting portions of the track, as well as selecting different windows in the workspace to see if it was just an issue with the selection but I can't seem to get the equalize volume levels option to become available. What could be causing this option to be unavailable?

When you bring the audio over, what format is it?

Volume levels while recording...

Hi folks!
I know this may be quite basic, but I am curious about volume settings on the channel strip, master, stereo out, et cetera while recording. Are there specific settings one must consider before recording one of the Logic instruments into a track? The reason I ask is because I record an instrument into a track that seems to be relatively present with regards to the volume. However, when other instruments are recorded and the texture starts to thicken a bit, an instrument that once sounded relatively loud is now MUCH less audible, even with the slider almost all the way to the top on my controller. Is this just a natural thing that is manipulated with automation and plug-ins later on after the arrangement is done?
Also, I was wondering if volume automation prevents the use of a slider to increase or decrease the overall volume of the track. I would like to apply volume automation, but at the same time, be able to control the overall level of volume using my controller. That way, the automation would move in tandem with the set level from the slider. Right now, the slider on my controller has no effect on the track volume that has automation. I know this is basic, but I'm new...

Hi there,
Here are some really useful threads at other discussion boards on this very topic. The main thing to remember is that tracking levels for digital recording do not need to be as hot as they do for analog recording, where signal-to-noise ratio is a greater consideration.
http://messageboard.tapeop.com/viewtopic.php?t=31541&highlight=trackinglowerlevels
http://recforums.prosoundweb.com/index.php/mv/msg/15038/0/16/0/
These discussions get pretty technical at times, but the gist seems to be that for digital, you tend to get more in trouble at the "summing" stage (when things get mixed together) than with the recording stage where the noise floor is less of an issue. This could be why you're noticing what you're noticing?

Setting/Controlling volume levels

I'd like to know what you guys do for volume levels.
I have the system volume, iTunes volume, and my Bose volume knob.
Basically, rather than worry about three volumes, I set my system volume and my iTunes volume to max, then just controll the overall volume with my Bose volume pod. This seems to work great.
I don't want to spend my day worrying about 3 different volume levels:)
Bryan

That sounds like a good idea. No pun intended. I don't like to set my sound set up to max, because I think it does not give you the best sound. Whenever I use source sound without amp to max (like a walkman), I notice that receiver or a sound device has noise or static to it. I like to set the source to medium and play with receiver or speakers for adjusting volume.

Extremely Poor Volume Level

Hi Guys,
My iphone's barely 3 months old and what I'm facing is poor audio levels out of my apple headphones which louder on my iPod and significantly louder on my Mac... I don't hear a thing if the volume level on my iPhone is somewhere in the middle...
I won't think this has anything to do with the battery since its always more than half charged... So am I looking into a possible hardware / software issue ..??
I'd hate to turn my phone in coz Apple would then give me a refurbished one which I hate about them..!!!
Cheers,
Gaggy

I have the same problem! I can barely hear the person on the other end and switching to speaker is just as horrible! Music can play much louder so I know that the speakers can handle it. If Apple doesn't fix this problem, I will have to return it and go back to the Blackberry which I would HATE to do! BUT I must hear my clients, family, and friends actually talk....afterall, this is a phone
I hope they fix this quickly!
