Audacity Forum

I don't think the ACX Robot was ever intended as a final arbiter of acceptance. Just the first one. Your submission fails basic sound quality standards —> help web pages and videos. It would be a corporate nightmare if Human Quality Control had to manually dig through every submission, and I suspect...

That sound device has a sound meter built-in. See how it compares with the Audacity meters. I would start out life with the bottom green light on, the next one up flashing and the red light never. Some makers cheat. They may display the red light before actual sound damage and an occasion red flicke...

M-Audio M-Track That doesn't seem to exist. How about this one? http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MTrackPlusII?adpos=1t1&creative=105744827041&device=c&matchtype=b&network=g&gclid=CPeAxZSrl8wCFQaUfgodJ4IEoQ Post a link if that's not it. that's when I notice the flangy sound...

I don't know if this will get me banned Don't try to sell us Bangalore computer services or Manchester kitchen cabinets. That's a greased path straight out the door. I missed one. You can have a mismatch between your hardware and the driver software. That's pretty common. Careful inspection of the ...

Non-recoverable except via hard reboot. As a rule, Audacity can't do that, but Audacity can step on sound drivers and drivers have a direct path to Windows. Check that your soundcard and anything else you have that uses audio has the correct Windows driver software installed. Does Win10 support Who...

Does British English or other special purpose English use the comma? Change to British English and see what happens.

Have you done a reinstall using a fresh download and the Reset Preferences option checked? Nowhere in the thread did you explicitly say that.

my PC does one of those Windows 10 random restarts. I'd be really concerned about that. Healthy Windows machines don't restart in the middle of a task when they feel like it. They also don't arbitrarily destroy Audacity Projects. This is a good place for a drive check, that long and deep virus chec...

If ACX kills a submission, they usually say why and suggest possible remedies. It would be good to get other opinions.

Again, do contact them before reading a whole book.

And if you do have a terrifically small MP3 sound file, making a highly compressed MP3 file by accident will sound like what you got. Flangy and digitized. When you finish a section of work, export as WAV (Microsoft) even though ACX AudioBook submission requirements are MP3. It's good to save the ar...

which picks up too much ambient noise for a good recording. Volume sliders affect everything. If the ambient noise is half as loud as your voice, then it will stay half as loud no matter where you put the volume slider. There's no such thing as turning your voice up and not affect the ambient noise...
