Re: Creating an Audio book

There is an odd caution here. Audacity doesn't get along with cloud drives. Do Not use cloud drives for anything in the production process. A cloud drive may look like an ordinary drive on your machine, but it's not. Audacity needs a firm, quick, accurate connection to its drives, not a slow, sloppy...

Christmas-present of wireless headphones.

Re: Getting rid of background noise

Old school USB printer cable to boot. Also known as USB-A to USB-B. You may not need it. You need to come up with a "studio." Your job is not to peel off "background noise" from your performance. You need to separate two mixed performances from each other. This is a cousin to sp...

Re: Creating an Audio book

You got up this morning as Producer, Recording Engineer, and Performer. You're going to bed a Manufacturer, Promotion and Publicity Manager, and Marketer/Sales Staff.

There's an all-hands meeting in the conference room this afternoon. I'll prepare the coffee cup.

Re: Getting rid of background noise

Re: Creating an Audio book

EPUB3 may be a solution and worth investigating. They do mention "media," but their main idea seems to be print-related. The give-away is emphasis on "documents, style sheets, images, and fonts." Very few audiobook presentation systems are concerned with fonts. It is a publicatio...

Re: Getting rid of background noise

It might be handy if you record a short test so we can hear what you're doing.
