How do I burn a cd keeping all the songs at equal volume?
There are two ways: 1. Use any audio editing software, such as iTunes or Cool Edit Pro. In iTunes it's called 'Sound Check'. It's right on the: Edit - Preferences - Playback, and click on the 'Sound Check' icon. This will adjust the volume ABOUT the same level. On Cool Edit Pro it's located in: Edit - Group waveform normalize, then you can follow the instruction inside. This will also adjust your music at ABOUT the same level. The key word was ABOUT the same level. This method is only practical, but sometimes some songs is still louder than the other, in this case you should go with option... 2. Trust your ears. Adjust every track in your CD manually using the most sophisticated sound check ever, your ears! This method will take some time, but it is worth it. You must be patient. Cool Edit Pro is my weapon of choise when it comes to sound editing. Go to: Effects - Amplitude - Amplify - Constant Amplification; Then adjust the volume track by track, using your ears as a measuring tools. Good luck!
How to adjust the volume on songs before burning them onto a CD?
A trick i know is to use itunes. 1.Open up itunes. 2. Drag the songs you want to burn into your library. 3. Listen to each song, and if a song is too loud, right click on the song and click "get info". Then go to the "options" tab. There will will be a volume adjustment thing. Adjust the volume accordingly till the volume is in paar with the rest of the songs. Press ok. Do the same if the songs volume is too low. 4. Go to file and press "new playlist". 5. Drag the songs you want to burn into the new playlist. 6. Insert a blank CD into your computer 7. Press "burn" (you can find this at the bottom.) et voila!
When burning CD's from iTunes, how do you raise the record volume so that it records at a higher level?
After purchasing the CD but before burning it to a disk find it on itunes under your playlist and right click on the song that you want to make louder. Then click on "get info". Once the info window opens there will be a tab called "options". Click on it and it will have a bar to adjust the volume level of the song making it a certain percentage louder then what it normally would be when played at a lower volume on your device. Hope this helps.
Does amplifying the volume on iTunes using the volume adjustment bar lower the quality of the sound?
You tread a fine line with any gain adjustment; too low and you'll hear some low-level hiss from the device, but too high and you'll "clip" the output and cause some nasty squarish-wave distortions. The simplest approach for you is to simply turn it up on a loud but preferably acoustic song until you can hear it "fuzz" up on the peaks, then back it down a bit from there. The same applies with any amplifier or amplified speakers - once they reach their full output (peak output voltage to the speaker = maximum available power supply voltage), you can often still "turn them up" (to 11?) with a volume adjustment, but they will only deliver more distorted output, not MORE output. Like those boomboxes you may remember where the owner turned the equalizer, the bass and treble, AND the volume control all to maximum thinking all of these would make the sound "louder" - 'fraid not, just crappier once the amp clips (and with the EQ or bass up it'll clip a LOT sooner due to the power demands at low frequencies). So take your computer's sound output and bring it up where it's still undistorted to your ear, then adjust iTunes' slider for loudest clean sound. Then back them down slightly from there. Yes, distorted = lower quality. You "might" be able to max out the slider on iTunes without distortion, (your ears are a very sensitive built-in distortion detector) but you'd then still need to adjust the computer's audio gain following the same guidelines. In the pro audio world, it's called "gain structure."

How to burn a cd with only a few seconds of each song on it?
You can use an audio editor to record the amount you want. I recommend Audacity. Set the recording mode to "Wave Out Mix" and play the song on your computer. When you get to the part you want, hit the record button and stop it when you reach the end. If you accidentally over-record, it has a trim feature. You may need to adjust the recording volume to reach optimal quality. You will see the audio being recorded in real time. You want to try and keep the blue bit from reaching the edges of the border that is around it, otherwise it will sound like it was recorded on a kid's microphone.
How do I record songs from a friend's car music CD player?
To start with, it's just extremely unlikely that this one player is the only one that it will play on. You need to find a player that will read it from which you can get line-out signal to make a recording. Try a DVD and/or Blu-Ray player, which have lasers at different specs and which may be better at the type of error correction needed to read your disc. Try it in every player you can get access to -- this may sound like a pain but it is going to be easier than what you will have to do to record it from the car player. Here's what you would have to do for that:- disconnect the speaker wires from the left and right speakers (whichever pair is easier to access) and splice longer wires to them - get a speaker-to-line-level converter like this one:Russound ADP-1.2 Speaker-level to Line-level Adapter(There may be cheaper versions available on eBay and elsewhere, but you don't want to compromise quality if this is truly a valuable recording).- use it to convert the sound from the speaker output of the car stereo to a line-level that you can record on a computer (you will also need the right cables to do that connection which I will leave as an exercise) - carefully adjust the volume output on the car stereo and practice recording until you can get a level of sound that provides a full dynamic range but does not overdrive the converter and cause clipping- make your recording at a high-quality level (preferably full .WAV files which can be converted to other formats later). You will still lose some fidelity vs. the original recording; how much will depend on the quality of the player.
