You have a good reading voice and the clip arrived in good order. Your upload works fine. And your recording is fine too. That's the "good cop" version. The bad cop version is the clip always fails two of the three ACX AudioBook standards. As submitted it fails Noise and Peaks. If I fix th...

blue yeti, ever again.

You'll never buy a refurbished blue Yeti ever again.
New ones appear to work OK.

I tried to plug in to different computer - not working.

What is the warrantee period? Refurbished products always come with a safety warrantee period.

One more note. LF_rolloff is used with the Equalizer Length slider all the way up. It's difficult to get accurate curves down that low.

Read through the classic version notes. That gives you a lot of information about what you're doing.

Attached is acx-check.ny. There's some discussion over the version numbers. This is the one I used, but I'm pretty sure it's not the latest one. Park that in your pluggins and it will appear in Analyze. Also, the non-plugin, classic version is here. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/ACXTesting/ACXT...

Having a separate power supply on the USB isolator would be a big boon. But you can also use a powered hub after the isolator. And have we tried a shorter/thicker USB cable? It's the only boon so far, and you left one out. The 1KHz data management signal inside the USB cable is a majority of that t...

There is a lot of lip sound that need to be taken out Did anyone actually complain about that or are you being obsessive? Anything you do to the work has to be done to the whole work and works thereafter. So think about that when you're piling on extra chores and tasks that will haunt you later. Th...

If you do an Analysis > Plot Spectrum on the clip, you will see an enormous amount of energy below 100 Hz and indeed a great pile of it below hearing, 20 Hz. That can screw up the accceptance noise reading. LF_rolloff strips all that away. ACX Analyze That one's a flynwill recent product. I can post...

Quick note. You didn't tell us anything about the computer or Audacity. These advanced tricks work with Audacity 2.1.0.

I applied Steve's rumble filter just as the clip was supplied to me and I got the attached analysis. Note the last sentence. Being professionally unable to stop messing with it. I used the very short silent segment at about 8 seconds as Noise Reduction Profile. Then I noise reduced the whole clip by...

Data and high voltage isolation is completely beside the point here. The goal is to filter the USB power supply lines or substitute a different power supply altogether. USB isolators assume everything is working OK except the user is going to get killed because of accidental high voltage leakage. In...
