Volume control in iTunes

[rtrautner]

In reading Chris' excellent FAQ's, I recognized that my iTunes plays with the volume showing zero. When the slider is moved to the right, it adds a second version of the currently playing tune, slightly behind but simultaneous to the current version. If I slide it to the max before playing the tune, it immediately reverts to zero when the tune begins to play. I can't seem to find a way to override this through preferences, Audio Midi, etc.

 

Is this a common problem? Is it really a problem? If so, any thoughts about how to remedy it?

 

Thanks!

Hi Rick - Are you using Amarra? If so then the iTunes volume should be at zero. This is an important item I need to add to the FAQ.

Yes, I am using Amarra. Glad to hear my settings are correct and thanks again for all your great work.

Hey Chris,

 

To be specific, Amarra should be setting the iTunes volume to zero for you when you pop Amarra in or out of bypass/iTunes mode. If not, then something is wrong with the setup and you should e-mail Sonic Studio support.

 

That said, a common cause of this behavior is not letting Amarra launch iTunes. Always quit iTunes before launching Amarra and let Amarra launch and then control iTunes for you.
