It sounds like you're recording in a kitchen or bathroom. Echo city. The sound file has really good levels, but that's where it ends. The Yeti is a side address microphone.

i can now see noise levels better. -96dB is not an arbitrary value. It's the lower limit of 16-bit digitization. 0dB is where it runs out of numbers on the loud end and -96dB is where it runs out on the quiet end. You might see some science-fiction-crazy numbers inside Audacity because Audacity doe...

i dont see any Noise in the track. Noise is a pain in the neck. The default Audacity timeline displays sound between 0dB (100% - maximum) and roughly -24dB. Anything much quieter than that is invisible. That's not to say you can't tell it's there. As you found, ACX Check goes down looking for it an...

the end recording was close to what ACX requires Nobody can read directly into ACX, or if you do, it's by accident. It is recommended that you record at a lower volume and let Audiobook Mastering make up the difference. This is the current recommended goal. StandardRecordingLevels-650w.jpg Occasion...

there are other parameter values, in particular, normalization.

Normalization works fine in mono. What process doesn't work for you? Did you get stuck with a stereo microphone interface recording in mono and reducing the volume by half (6dB)?

Someone will correct me, but I think the process should have been to delete the second half of the show, File > Save As a different project name. With Audacity still open , Edit UNDO back to the long show, Delete the first half and File > Save As a different different name. That gives you three inta...
