Ha - There's no use in trying! One can't believe impossible things! Yeah it was the gain on the audio track right under "mute" and "solo." Adjusting it back to zero, exporting, and submitting all files seem to be golden now. Point taken, and I'll stick to utilizing only "effects" moving forward. I r...

Here it is. I'm currently reloading all of my files at +0.0 volume to see if the system accepts them all. So far yes.

Koz. Apologies for the run around. I think I realized the problem. I had the volume on the track turned down. I had it set this way because if you recall, my gain is turned way way up, and the track seemed to be peaking too high. For these short files, I tried turning up the "volume" in audacity a f...

For the Closing Credits file, I definitely did run the three mastering tools before doing ACX check for those results in my previous screenshot. It's possible that I used Punch-Paste to apply room tone on either side of the words "the end" and maybe that room tone wasn't properly mastered.. I ran th...

Thanks Koz. Working on installing and enabling the new ACX-Check plugin. Here's the closing credits file as submitted.

Hello again Koz! I have been meaning to follow up and thank you again for all of your guidance, but I kept wanting to finish this audiobook submission before giving the all clear. Today I've submitted all of the chapters, and it's SO CLOSE! All of the full chapters have no issues, but for some reaso...

Wow. Ok I'll do some more desperation mode around 75% and see if that continues to pass inspection. If this works for ACX, that works for me, but because of the nature of some of my other voice work, desperation mode would restrict some other performances. I only worry that the other work I refer to...

Happy Monday Koz, I've flipped my mic back right side up and ensured there is ample drip loop in the cable plugged into the mic. I then recorded the towel test, holding a double folded thick towel over the mic: sharcmerman towel test.wav And next the desperation mode recording, first with input gain...

Sorry for the delay Koz. (mother's day stuff) Here are those test recording(s)! sharcmerman test spark front back.wav My model Blue Spark doesn't have those switches for some reason, but it does have this "focus control" button on the back which has been pressed in.

...Cont'd Shot of preamp (Hi-Z button pressed in) IMG_1107.JPG Here's a shot of my mic and pop filter roughly 7 inches distance, speaking into the blue company name side. I'm actually not sure what you are describing by "The two switches should be flat (no bend) and 0 (not -20dB)." IMG_0147.JPG Text...
