Soft Recording Volume With Blue Yeti / Increasing Volume Distorts Audio
Mar 28, 2012
so i have a blue yeti, and i'm an online animator/voice actor. whenever i record audio on my blue yeti (or any other mic) i record about 4-6 inches from the mic, and turn the gain down enough that the audio doesn't peak as i yell or whatever. this is what you're supposed to do if you don't want your audio levels peaking and making your recording sound horrible and corrupted. however, afterwards, it means i have really quite recordings. not a problem right? now that it's recorded right, i can boost the volume of the entire clip afterwards right? wrong. i'm not an audio expert so i must be missing something. but why in gods name would the audio distort and peak after it's recorded successfully? it's all there, it's all clean audio. if i turn the volume on my speakers all the way up it sounds crystal clear! all i want to do is do that inside the computer so that when i upload it to Internet people don't have to turn their speakers so far up. but if i increase the clips volume in the computer, it distorts! it sounds awful! why?! i tried in sony acid and audacity and they both do the same thing! i can take sound effects, and recordings made by other producers and crank them up nice and loud, but mine just fall apart!
My mic is at 100% and it is working perfectly fine and everyone can hear me. However, at night time I have to talk really quiet or else my parents will wake up and get very mad. Talking this quiet however, nobody can hear me.
Is there some way or some program that can increase the mic volume over 100% so I can talk quietly at night time and the people I'm talking to can hear me?
If bring it down to zero and it will immediately bring it back to 100%. It's like the system doesn't want to play any content below full volume.I first thought it was my mouse or keyboard, but I unplugged both of them but to no avail. I am at a loss as to what I should be doing. I can't play content at full volume, especially since I use headphones almost exclusively.[CODE]
I bought a new Philips SHP 2000. Decent headphone but no option to control the volume. Anyway, while watching movies I can use VLC or MPCStar to increase the volume beyond 100%. But for mp3, I usually go for WMP and the sound, obviously, is too low. Same way, while gaming the sound is too low even if I put it at 100% in game settings. The speaker icon in taskbar shows 100%.
im having trouble with my headphones mic which from some reason recording volume is very low . so low that in game (by using TS [teamspeak]) when other people have the game sound , they can bearly hear me. i set my mic to 100 volume and the boost to +30db but thing stay the same.when i test the mic with recorder the bar even dont rised a little bit .ohh , and by the way , in case anyone thought the problem isnt in the mic which is new due to the fact that after this problem happend at the last microsoft headphones i had, i bought new one (forgot the model).
I've searched everywhere, including (when you click F1) in windows 7. I need a keyboard shortcut for increasing and decreasing volume, and I don't mean when playing a video or something, I mean the "general" one. (Not in Media Player)
I am trying to transfer my band's backing tracks from a Sony MiniDisc Player to my new IdeaPad y550 (Windows 7) using 1/8" stereo jacks from the MiniDisc Player to the stereo mic in on the laptop. My record levels are fine (optimum) but playback of the file results in considerably lower volume. The VU meters during playback are at the levels I recorded but actual audio volume is much lower.Same problem regardless of the software I am using (Sound Recorder, CakeWalk, WavePro, etc.) so I am hoping it is some global setting I can't find...
I bought a USB A4 Tech HU-200 HeadPhone Its volume is quite high even when the windows volume is at 0, When its at max 100 it works like dedicated speakers Is there any way to reduce the volume beyond the lowest volume of windows 7?
Note: My Headphone does not have any soft of driver or software
I just received a new keyboard today: Thermaltake Challenger Ultimate. I went from a Logitech G15.
First thing I did was connect the keyboard and install the software that came along on the CD, it probably also installed the correct drivers. First after this did I uninstall the software and drivers from the old Logitech G15. But before that, and now after, the volume buttons on my new keyboard is still not adjusting the volume when I press them.
A speaker-icon like this shows up when I press the volume buttons, so its not that the keys are not working: (ignore the text behind it, its me writing an assignment)
I recently got this problem, that my volume hotkeys stopped working, (Acer Aspire 5560G) AMD High Definition Audio. I also tryed plug in other keyboard that have's volume hotkeys but still doesn't work.
I like to listen to music loudly sometimes. I have both the volume mixer and my application's volume set to maximum levels, but it's not loud enough for my liking. Is there any way to increase the maximum sound volume in Windows 7?
When I start the laptop (toshiba satellite) it runs and boot logo comes up, after that a black screen with a cursor.Using one of the option that stop windows from restarting during crash I seen that the blue screen says "unmountable boot volume".I have windows 7 dvd which I used, it says to press any key to contnue, once done nothing happens, a boot logo comes again and the black screen with the cursor.
I have these problems with my dell xps m1330 and I also can't boot into safe mode, what do I do? Also when I try to reinstall windows from USB it loads a black screen with movable mouse.
I have recently purchased a Blue Yeti microphone [URL]. Everything has been going fine with it, it is recognized in the usb port, and the volume is great, so is the quality. But this morning my house had a power surge and everything shut down, including my computer(duh). When i turn it on my mic isn't recognized anymore, and instead i get an error code 43 in the device manager program. It says the device is malfunctioned. But when i plug it into my usb hub, it works fine, it also works on my laptop just fine. I've reinstalled my usb drivers, and other devices work too (webcam, flash drive). Is there anyway i can "reset" all the usb ports? The only thing the mic shows up as is an unknown device, and i've uninstalled it's drivers and scanned for hardware changes too.
Title says it all while listening to music the volume constantly swings in and out. This is a commin problem among the hp laptops with beats audio. I have the most updated audio driver out at the moment. Ive tried what they have posted and for some i dont have the options for. Just looking for possiable fixes from people who actually know what they are doing. I have 2 audio drivers according to device manager AMD HD audio device and IDT HD audio CODEC
I have windows 7 ultimate 32 bit and i have installed SRS HD Audio Lab on my Realtek but there is a sound problemThe volume comes low...i mean very low.Its only about 30%.A
I recently purchased a Blue Yeti (Silver) microphone from Amazon. It was working properly at first when I plugged it in, but after I booted my computer the next day, my computer did not recognize the microphone and it was named something else in "Recording Devices". I had to unplug and plug the mic back into the usb port before the computer recognized it as the Blue Yeti microphone again. I am on Windows 7 Home Premium by the way. Is there a fix to this rather than replugging it back in?
System has been blessed with a new lease of life. Faster, more responsive and my god Windows 7 looks sexy! Now, if there is a tiny niggle of an issue, then it is why I am posting today. I have the Creative Xtreme Audio soundcard on my system and Windows 7 has updated it to all the latest drivers. Sound seems ok and thus far it is not reporting any problems. I have the Creative Media Organiser and all the other mod cons etc etc. However, where has my Volume Panel interface gone? In Win XP, I had it permanently attached to my task bar. Basically, a little volume icon if you like in bottom right corner with everything else. You right click the icon and then you get the entertainment console where you can change settings etc. Looked nice, even in XP. I must admit I'm a tad disappointed it's not here in Windows 7 and also confused as to why everything else is here except that facility.Do I have to download it separately? I don't fancy putting my original CD in that came with PC from day one as I'd have to manually look for that particular component and extract it. Infact, I don't even know if that is an option as I am pretty sure it formed part of the whole "Medisource Go" package and I have that and it's up to date.
I will get strait to the point:my volume is going up and down by itself nomatter if i am using winamp or streaming. i would add that my audio is controllet by srs hd audio lab(audio plugin)
I want to partition the hard disk since there is just one volume C ( OS) and install ubuntu also. Do i need to take a backup of my data? Also, does another volume contain the new OS ubuntu?
just got my new pc hooked up. and everything is working fine. except the volume. i can hear but its not very loud. i tried going into the settings but nothing i do makes it louder. it dont have a sound card. but it still has realtek hd audio. i even went in that settings but i didnt see any place to where i can boost the volume.
I have a set of powered Logitec 2.1 speakers that I used to be only able to turn up to about half and it would become too loud for my apartment or hearing pleasure. (It was the same with our with out headphones) But lately I will have to run it at MAX volume to get anything decent out of them. I've checked every volume setting and control I know of. It's kind of odd, I'll seem ok at some times, and then at others i'll really notice it. I just built the computer maybe a month or two ago, and I havn't had any luck with it since. Motherboard" ASRock 870 extreme3AMD CPU Phenom II x6 1100 Black8GB ramIntegratd Realtek sound... whatever else.Now before you suggest that I set the communications options to "Do Nothing" I've already done that. I've also updated reinstalled drivers blah blah blah. So I need some fresh Ideas here
I have an HP Pavilion DV7 laptop... The volume slider keeps turning itself all the way down, even as I try to turn it up. Its been happening for a while now. I've tried:
1.) Completely removed everything attached to the MOBO, only the LCD, DC Jack, RAM and HDD. Issue still persists 2.) Same as above only added battery, and unplugged the ac adapter and ran off battery. Issue is resolved. 3.)Plug power back in the issue happens again. I tried many combinations of removing and adding hardware components and they all have the same result. 4.) I update the drivers, then uninstalled and download new drivers. Installed the software and disabled the software. The issue persists 5.) Tried updating windows and then disabling the sound software along with HP Smart software. Issue persists. 6.) installed a new HDD and clean installed windows 7 with only the provided drivers. Issue persists 7.) Replaced the Sound/Smart Media Power panel. Issue Persists 8.) Changed the RAM. Issue persists. 9.) Disabled the sound devices in the "Sound" control panel. Issue Persists. 10.) Flash the BIOS, already has the newest revision so I re-flashed it. Issue Persists. 11.) Tried switching AC Adapters. issue persists 12.) Changed DC Jack & AC Charger.
I don't know why but, when I play Left 4 Dead or Garrys Mod the process volume on Volume Mixer goes on minimum but a "ghost" volume icon stays on maximum.
I always have to minimize my game and get my volume on maximum again, each round start (when survivors were overwhelmed or survivors win).
When i have an SS i post here.
And only to say, im so happy that, I've downloaded the video driver from ATi website, but I don't needed to install it, I play all my games (L4D, CSS, Gmod, TF2...) with the WDM driver with all filters and everything with the same FPS i get with the ATi driver installed.
I deleted all shadow copies, first via Disk Cleanup and then via vssadmin, all per your instructions. It didn't help. I then went in and disabled System protection. It didn't help either.Disk manager still says I only have 462756 MB shrink space out of a total of 953867 MB (NTFS), leaving 491111 MB after shrinkage. That's not enough - I need to shrink the C volume to 96 GB, because I want to move to my empty RAID SSD (2 disks/mirror) with 107.13 GB (NTFS). I assume the reason I cannot use Seagate's disk utility to execute the move is that it cannot move from a larger partition to a smaller, but it hasn't actually told me that - it just doesn't follow instructions.)
How can I change my [system]VolumeID, because I got banned from something and that was a hardware ban, I try changing mac but it was something different and most of the guys say it's the volume ID.So I downloaded 3 different programs to change the Volume ID, they all came out exactly as written in the tutorials and still my ID isn't changing.Is it because of windows 7 or maybe because of my pc's makers (or however you call them) ACER?I tried download it from a microsoft page and it came up good in command propt nothing will work.by the way I have windows 7 home premium 64 bit, acer, intel7 proccesor and NTFS hard drives.
