Why is the volume unusually loud in your games?

MDickie.com

Simply load up the main volume controls in Windows and make sure the "Wave" setting is in line with everything else...

What happens if the system tells me it's time to do a volume back and I don't cut the CD?

Solomon Institute Corporation - FAQ
Nothing happens. Daily backups take longer and may require more than one tape. If you are in a hurry, you can wait until you have two or three volumes to be cut before cutting CD's and transferring them to the SILO; however, this process is not difficult and for peace of mind, it should be done when the systems firsts tells you to do it.

Staintune pipes decibel range will vary depending on the bike, and whether or not you use the sound restrictors. On average, as a general rule, the pipes run in the low 90's with the restrictors in place and just over 100 with the restrictors removed. This is a general rule of thumb and can vary up or down depending on the individual bike. A Ducati twin will definitely be more heart and ear pounding than an inline four BMW. The design of the engine can vary the number a few decibels +/-.

We play traditional instruments including acoustic bass - so there's no rock bass and drum to worry about! We can play an acoustic set - i.e. without a PA system. However, this is only suitable for very small venues. We normally use a high quality PA and play at the appropriate volume given the audience and venue - we will always turn it down (or up!) if asked! We are happy to discuss our PA requirements with your venue management in advance of the event.

Can I make all my MP3 files play at the same volume?

Xorys' MP3 FAQ
There are a couple of Winamp plugins for normalizing the volume of songs as you play them - they don't actually change the MP3 files on disk at all, they just try to make Winamp play at a "standard" volume. You can download these plugins from the main Winamp site (www.winamp.com). Strangely enough they are not under Plugins / Output (which is where I would have put them) - one is under Plugins / General and the other under Plugins / Effects.
