Re: ART USB Dual Pre digital artifact

It's actually quite impressive to hear how little it picks up when you speak directly into the side
I believe you. However, I could still hear a kid yelling in the background of your test clip.

Re: ART USB Dual Pre digital artifact

Using the compressors and other tools is doing it "the old way." We never had a way to set RMS directly...until Steve wrote one. That's SetRMS. It's a custom program you copy and paste into Effect > Nyquist. SetRMS pushes the volume of your presentation louder and louder until the RMS (Lou...

Re: ART USB Dual Pre digital artifact

the lip mic away from your mouth That's not what I said. I understand you can't move it away. I want you to move it slightly to the left or right. Most of the popping sound comes from straight in front. SetRMS and Limiter do a bang-up job of setting RMS (loudness) and Peak with no other help. I nee...

Re: Dead microphone

Windows sound settings has a sound meter to help you diagnose problems. Does that meter bounce when you talk?

Re: MP3 Exporting suddenly taking forever...help.

I believe it does that if you have greatly mismatched tracks on the timeline. The time display is lying to you. The actual export should work OK.

Re: ART USB Dual Pre digital artifact

It seems to be missing electrical noises. I got it to pass AudioBook Technical Standards, but it still sounds like you're trying to present from an airplane. Breath noises and P popping. Screen Shot 2017-02-07 at 5.10.11 AM.png The kids in the background are still there and I can't get rid of them w...

Re: Unable to save original .aup file

Until we resolve this, select each stereo track by clicking just above MUTE and Export Selected WAV (Microsoft) 16-bit so you can put a high quality show back together later if nothing else works. That's recommended as show archive anyway. Are you trying to save to DropBox? It may not be complaining...

Re: Not Passing ACX Check Analyzer Issue #2

Let me know if you get stuck. As I think I posted in the Comments, passing ACX-Check just gets you past the technical standards. You still have to pass entertainment and voice quality—you won't have any trouble there—but you also have to pass ACX file size, structure, compression, silence, length an...

Re: Not Passing ACX Check Analyzer Issue #2

I wasn't joking about holding your breath for two seconds at the beginning. The ACX-Check display is actually off on noise because your submission doesn't have at least a half-second of room silence to measure. Your noise measurement is better than that. Screen Shot 2017-02-06 at 20.43.51.png And at...

Re: Not Passing ACX Check Analyzer Issue #2

This was recorded with High Pass Filter. And it was recorded on the new computer. It has the 0.5 distortion and damage on the blue waves. Screen Shot 2017-02-06 at 16.25.19.png We can't solve clipping distortion. Effect > Clip Fix is only good for very brief distortions and even then, it only guess...
