Re: getting home audiobook recording up to snuff

So if you do come up with another duvet or blanket, that may be a good place to put it. Tape it to the wall?
Be sure you make it so you can't use the bathroom any more.

Re: getting home audiobook recording up to snuff

OK, I can make that pass without too much work. You don't need to make a production out of breathing. The very short intake of breath before you start speaking normally is enough. Sometimes we don't even need that. I can publish How I Got There in a bit, but can you suppress echoes a little bit more...

Re: getting home audiobook recording up to snuff

One more before I pull the sound files down. Picture how cripple you're going to be presenting into a cardboard box for 8 hours. One poster made significant modifications to their apartment to avoid that problem once they figured how uncomfortable it was going to be. Ian turned his broom closet into...

Re: getting home audiobook recording up to snuff

Entertainment quality is last in the list and that one can be a little subjective. The first struggle is to produce sound files that ACX isn't going to laugh at. Actually, there's no laughter. The ACX automated testing will bounce it first. I use furniture moving pads. http://www.kozco.com/pictures/...

Re: Will a Blue Yeti mic work with 10m active usb extension?

We have extended sound services to double recommended USB lengths by putting an active, wall-powered hub in the middle. I don't see any reason it wouldn't work for you. Yes, there is some evidence that the process can help with USB microphone noise because the battery service in the USB cable is com...

Re: Finding the right equalization for my voice

I generated that curve based on your natural voice pitch and volume going up the same amount I brought it down. It should sound clear and clean with no odd peaks or resonances. If it makes it through your speaker test, but still seems too extreme, I can try another, less powerful curve and see if yo...

Just the fact that we're having this conversation should bother you.

Re: Finding the right equalization for my voice

I'm wondering if it's because my voice tone is lower, and is resonating with the speakers more. I think we're traveling down the road of sound concepts. Speakers the size of Kennedy Half-Dollars do not do low voices or bass sounds in general. If your whole world is based on personal sound systems, ...

Re: getting home audiobook recording up to snuff

In My Opinion, you have a good story-telling voice, so now we just have to get it into sound file format. There is only the shortest possible silent stretch at 2 seconds and it's not enough to analyze background noise very well. Everything else seems OK, but can you please post a sound clip accordin...
