Re: Need help interpreting mastering feedback from ACX

I can't figure out how to give you a screenshot. In Days Gone By, you would press the PrtScrn (print screen) button and that would take a picture of your desktop.

Re: Nyquist Plugins not working

these plugins are very helpful for that. No shortage of those: LF-Rolloff filter for Equalize, Noise Reduction (in moderation), Normalize > DC Removal, etc. Let us know. Do you have an automated acceptance service like ACX does (we call it "the robot")? Or do you get them all and have to ...

Re: Nyquist Plugins not working

Why would an editor need Noise Gate and Bass Boost? Don't you tell the performer/submission presenter what to fix? Making the audiobook company do repairs is awkward, dangerous and expensive.

Re: Nyquist Plugins not working

Audacity 2.1.2 has Effect > Add/Remove Plugins to manage tools and services. Just dropping an effect into /plug-ins doesn't work any more.

Re: downloaded ACX Check
