192 or higher . It just has to come in under the ACX maximum chapter filesize limit. Higher is good because ACX is going to cut the work down for their various venues and the sound quality is going to get worse every time they do it. The higher quality you can start the process the better all around...

I opened a file last night--no issue.

Restart Audacity. Does that same file still open rapidly?

The voice is still very low, but I can get to AudioBook compliance with correction tools (attached). If this works for you, I can publish how I got there. If not, then you may need a different microphone. What does Google have to say about this? Everybody thinks USB microphones are a gift from the a...

The "L" setting is for the high pass filter. It's job is to suppress rumble, thump and low pitch sounds. In general, those sounds are not useful when you're trying to record the voice. It's the graphic representation of what the equalizer looks like in other programs. Attached is what it l...

Might we be going down the garden path? A much more common way to get blue waves that stop dead at 0.5 is to use Mic-In as a line connection to, for example, a sound mixer. That and Windows Enhanced Services hates music. Is that turned off? "How come my music changes volume by itself?" Koz

Select the middle pattern "supercardioid" on the rear, and on the front, make sure you do not select -10. Talk into the company logo, the side of the microphone, not the end and not the back. It's a cousin to this microphone. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/wynonna2.jpg Upside down doesn't ...

USB identities are printed by the maker and have little or nothing to do with the type of data connection. Some makers put their company name in there. The Behringer uca-202 arrives as "USB Audio Codec." So that doesn't bother me very much. I bet they picked the "microphone type"...

Check if you have Audacity 2.1.0. That's the current version. Audacity 2.10 and 2.1 are fakes. Audacity will only record from one sound device. So that would be Yeti A or Yeti B, not both. Plug in both Yetis. Desktop > Go > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup > + > Create Aggregate Device. Choose your two ...

Which Audacity exactly? You can get Audacity 2.1.0 from here.

When it asks you to reset Preferences, say yes.

Don't plug in any USB or external devices. Close Audacity.

Can you play a YouTube clip and does it sound OK?
