Stereo WAV unconditionally stable is under three hours (2GB). If you're feeling adventurous, most systems can deal with six hours at 4GB. Nobody goes over six hours. You got what was left when the six hours ran out and the system started over. I think there's a rescue method for files damaged like t...

Does it have echoes? A resonant room without echoes is pretty unusual and echoes usually kill you way faster than anything else. Rather than guess at it, post a sample. 20 Seconds mono WAV or 10 seconds Stereo WAV. Follow this formula generally. You don't have to convert to mono, but if you do submi...

I'm after hints and tricks to pass on to others. One reader created a PVC Plastic Pipe Studio and covered it with heavy bedding. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/PVCStudio-1.jpg http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/PVCStudio-2.jpg No glue. It falls apart for storage. She's a published reader. I did ...

audio-technica, AT202 That could be two different microphones. AT makes an AT2020 analog microphone and an AT 2020USB direct to digital. Which do you have? What sort of post-production processing do you do? You almost have to do something because the recommended live vocal recording volume is diffe...

I ... just finished setting up a more ideal recording area in my home. New Users generally fail noise. No matter how they get there, Peaks and RMS (Overall Loudness) come out fine and the noise always sticks out. Then they start the dance: If I reduce the RMS, the noise will pass, but my RMS will f...

You don't have to gate to dead zero. I believe you can tune the reduction. Have you tried gentle noise reduction? Noise Reduction is covered at the bottom of the ACX Mastering Suite posting. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=328704#p328704 Noise Gating is not recommended for audiobook re...

You can wire a microphone or pickup wrong and get phase cancellation problems which sound like that. You can have speaker problems, too. Are you listening on headphones? Download and play this 40 second sound clip. http://www.kozco.com/tech/LRMonoPhase4.wav I expect the fourth segment "Out Of P...

and then going in and opening/editing with the WAVE (mono 16 bit) gives me the same quality? This is where the Obsessive Engineer has to say no. When Audacity makes the WAV file, it has to add a very tiny dither signal to the show to eliminate transition effects—getting into and out of Audacity int...

Your turn.

How many books have you read (out loud)? Did you go through a terrific learning curve? What equipment are you using? Did you make ACX submission quality reasonably well with minimal corrections?

Are you using ACX-Check?
