After enough of these post-production patches and rescues, actually shooting a quiet performance gets more and more attractive.

One of the ways you can fail ACX AudioBook acceptance, as an example, is a note they thought your submission was "overprocessed."

I sense somebody trying to rescue their noisy performance. There is a home-built tool called Noise Gate. It forces silence into a natural segment it thinks is below a certain volume. It seems to be a gift from the angels, but after you use it, you may find it does what it says on the tin, but that's...

How do I find the songs in the media playlist so that I can import the songs to build my show? I don't think you do. Neither iTunes or Windows Media is an open format. They're Media Managers including copy protection. You can export and copy songs out of both of them under some conditions, but I do...
