Re: How to achieve -23 to -18 after normalizing?

rejected because my voice was too loud sounding. You should dig through the ACX publications and see if they let you submit a sample before you read whole books. I think they do now. Everybody got tired of ACX rejecting months of work. The top four links on this page are from ACX. http://www.kozco....

Re: How to achieve -23 to -18 after normalizing?

Here is another raw recording, is my voice to harsh recording at that audio volume? It's not a volume thing. ACX wants your volume to be just so and that's why they publish the specifications. Within those specifications, the quality of your voice comes down to how much energy is taken up in certai...

Re: Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD help please.

Re: Audacity 2.2.0: Can't record on new Surface Book

A quick word on what's happening. There's two different sound pathways in the machine, Record and Playback.

Re: How to achieve -23 to -18 after normalizing?

Re: How to achieve -23 to -18 after normalizing?
