Re: Recordings on playback choppy, skipping

I think the update messed up my Scarlett 2i2 drivers because everything records fine through built in mic. I'll do some testing and let you know.

Re: Recordings on playback choppy, skipping

Well, changing the record buffer from 100 to 50 in Audacity did not make a difference. Back to researching.

Re: Recordings on playback choppy, skipping

I am having the same problem. It started after I took the latest update to my OS for my Macbook Pro to Maverick. I wonder if that messed up my settings? I will adjust the record buffer to 50 from 100 and see if that resolves my issue.

Re: Audible.com QC standards

To give you the perspective of the narrator let me just say that a lot of the tools I see confuse me a bit. I am trying to finish my 3rd audiobook (7.3 hours long) and I have been asked to start on my 4th. The last step in this 3rd book is to fix the audio as I mentioned earlier in this thread. I ha...

Re: Audible.com QC standards

Steve, I would be happy to help. What specifically do you need from me? Legally I don't think I can hand you over the entire book but I might be able to do a couple of random chapters from each one.
Thanks,
Jim
