Re: file transfer

Re: Ambient noise in track after compression and equalizatio

Re: Ambient noise in track after compression and equalizatio

I noticed the Room Tone (background noise) at the beginning and at the end are different. They both pass, but they're different and ACX warns that having the work character wander through the book is a big problem.

Re: Ambient noise in track after compression and equalizatio

Attached is the patched version which, depending on how you measure, conforms to ACX guidelines and sounds reasonable.
