This is one way to patch Eden Shower 5 so it passes compliance without sounding wounded. You have to install two custom tools. This seems crazy until the second time you use it. The tool settings are sticky, so they don't change from application to application. So it may be work for the first chapte...

Speaking of, what's your suggestion re: shotgun blasts? They're written as 'BLAM', but I think I'll sound stupid shouting that into the mic. You might try raising your vocal pitch instead of getting louder. I don't know how ACX feels about sound effects. I don't either. I'm pretty sure they draw th...

When you emphasized those words in the story that caused them to exceed the range of our normal loudness tools. Are you OK with shortform postings and settings? If I said your story was -71dB, -23.5dB, -3.2dB, would you get that those are noise, loudness, and peaks? Did you write down what the ACX l...

Do you leave Skype running in the background? That can cause problems.

We also violated a rule. You're on Windows, right? Win7? Win8? It's good you choose those words. Windows likes to help you with built-in effects and processing. They can sound "weird" and "hollow". I got to mess with a new PC at work and I couldn't make it pass any sound tests. T...

Not in Audacity. Vocal Removal is a dead simple tool. Anything appearing exactly identical in left and right is cancelled. Usually that's the voice, but also can be bass and drums. Stereo vocal effects are different in left and right. So they stay behind. Vocal Removal fails way more often than peop...
