[QUOTE="Bob M., post: 1813988, member: 200112"] Hi all, and thanks for all the really varied suggestions to my problem. I tried 'Sound Check' but it wasn't good/useful for my particular problem. DianeVan suggested something promising (She said: iTunes has a volume slider under Info/Options.) but I was unable to find Info/Options in my version of iTunes (12.6.1.25) and I wasn't able to find the said volume slider. Maybe if I had more explicit instructions about finding this feature, I could try that. I did locate the graphic EQ within iTunes (10 band with +/- 12db boost or attenuate but) it seems good for only playback of a track but it was the right tool for my low-level track problem. I'm now wondering if I could re-record a track using this graphic EQ and having the EQ changes I apply become a permanent part of the re-recorded track??? is that possible; has anyone done that before? I did download Audacity but it looks pretty complex - like howitzer when a screwdriver is needed. But I'll eventually learn how to use that, in time. Unfortunately, having the tracks done over again, re-digitizing them, is not an option. This was the 2nd attempt (the first was really, really bad) and my friend, although I did really appreciate his efforts, was sorely overmatched and his technical skills peter-principaled out. He's returned the borrowed equipment already and is not likely to revisit his folly. It was not his finest moment and I'm not inclined to re-embarrass my friend. I intend to get into Garage Band in future but to use it in a more expected way - to record a song/demo or something like that. Thanks for all your help, Bob M. [/QUOTE]
