Re: Recording equipment for Audible books

I see the peak levels are too high. This is approximately what your raw readings are supposed to look like. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/AudacityVoiceSampleScreen.jpg High readings are not welcome. If your blue waves go all the way up to 1.0, either up or down, they become permanently da...

Re: Recording equipment for Audible books

Thanks for your efforts, but an AUP is an Audacity Project Management text file. It's not sound. Double click the AUP file and your Project should open just as you left it. This time File > Export a WAV sound file like it says here in the instructions. Screen Shot 2020-12-19 at 2.42.03 AM.png Koz

Re: Recording equipment for Audible books

There is a caution. ACX likes all their chapters to match, so there is no changing microphones in the middle of a book. Once you become accustomed to a microphone, make it a point to stay happy for the whole thing. One forum poster moved houses in the middle of a book. That wasn't fun. Fortunately, ...

Re: Recording equipment for Audible books

OK. Your post had the flavor of: "I decided over lunch to read audiobooks. How do I start?" The time limit thing refers to our current champ Ian. We got him reading for pay, but it took over a year to get there. He was trying to read quality work from a noisy apartment in Hollywood (the re...

Re: Echo help

Are you all in the same room? People who post this question are usually trying to record Zoom or Skype. Zoom may in this case be easier than what you're doing by just telling Zoom to record the performance. I understand you can get them to record individual voices now and give you sound files. I can...

Re: Stops recording 20+ minutes in

I was thinking about this later. I missed one. The Solo has knobs that light up green with sound. So I wouldn't need the wired headphones to make sure the sound was getting that far.

Re: Stops recording 20+ minutes in

Much like if you'd just unplugged the microphone. This is when I would leap to the Solo with my wired headphones to see if the show was still there. Switch the Solo to Direct Monitor and it will pass the recording sound on to you. Make sure the Monitor knob is up and try this once before you need i...

Re: Recording equipment for Audible books

my microphone is Audio-Technica AT2020 Cardioid Condenser. I use Focusrite Scarlett Solo, A Monoprice Isolation Shield, and a pop filter. Where did you get the list of things to buy? Was there an instruction panel or service associated with that? Have you ever announced or read into a microphone be...

Re: Frame rate from audio 24fps to audio 23,976

You're using Effect > Change Speed, right? Not either of the other two. 1.001. That is totally the correct number, you just did it wrong. 30 / 1.001 = 29.97002997002997 NTSC Frame Rate 24 / 1.001 = 23.976023976023976 3:2 pulldown for US video projection of 24-frame film.
