Re: Echo Cancelation

Surely Out of Luck. Yes. We warn people when they post samples for us to review or assist, not to supply patched or filtered works. We can't take out most of the filters.

Re: Balancing Volumes

his voice is much lower than mine.
Recording both sides of a cellphone call? Can you attach a sample of both voices in the same clip?

Re: Passing the ACX test, BUT does it sound any good?

... de-click and EQed.flac
That came out well.

That's only three extra filters and effects on each chapter. This in addition to the ACX tools. The robot is still out there lurking.

I think I need to sit down for a minute.

On my chaise lounge.

Re: Passing the ACX test, BUT does it sound any good?

I would try and shy you away from the Rode NT1a, it's just far too bright and harsh sounding. The NT1-a is incredibly bright.

Just to cover it. You are speaking into the yellow dot, right? This is a side-address microphone. Not the top, not the sides and not the back.

It's a cousin to this one, except this one is upside down. Doesn't make any difference.

Re: Passing the ACX test, BUT does it sound any good?

I want to hear what happens after she slumps. Does she still gather sea shells, or was that someone else? Some volume setting and gentle compression. See attached, last sentence. But it still sounds sharp and brittle. Can you hear it? Sharp, tight, piercing "S" sounds? I got your work to p...
