I did submit a sample to ACX but haven't heard back from them in weeks Apparently, it's required on your eighteenth birthday to submit a test to ACX, so they have several million New Submissions to crank through. The technical standards can be handled with a computer program (the way we do it), but...

Ctrl-M can be used to set a point-in-time Totally. I got the control codes mixed up. I had to shorten it up to get under 2Mb. Correct. No, you're not welcome to post a novel chapter or small book. Here's the WAV version You're sure that's your raw reading? You missed the part where you included two...

We'll listen to that in a bit, but forum test clips should be in perfect quality WAV, not lower quality MP3.

Will work on a new recording test to limit noise floor Don't go in expecting all sorts of exotic problems. Set your voice so the bouncing sound meters are about -6 to -12 or so and read for the test clip. As way above, I set the sound meters broader and deeper than factory default. Audacity > Edit ...

Audacity is not recommended for recording Skype, Chat or other conferencing application. Problems such as yours are very common and it's a career move trying to solve them. Google or consult the instructions for your chat software. The Pamela people make respectable software for recording Skype on W...

MacBook Pro OS-X 10.9.5 Mavericks Audacity 2.1.3 Apparently working perfectly well. I was just describing to someone how to set a label during a long reading when my labels failed. I read a short passage and set several labels during the reading. CMD-B > Enter, CMD-B > Enter, CMD-B > Enter and this ...
