Audacity Forum

Maybe someone will post with solutions, it's an open forum, but most "Make Me Sound Like" jobs fail.

Start thinking about what would happen if you can't make this work.

Thanks for the prompt and accurate answers. As far as we know. The book is Monkey on my Shoulder Did you write it? ACX makes you jump through serious hoops to nail down rights. The first files were processed through RX studio repair to try to remove the echo ... better room You can get a remarkably...

If I close Audacity out and reopen it, then resave the mp3 with a new name, it will work just fine. Maybe not exactly just fine. You can't edit an MP3 without messing up the quality setting. You may think you're exporting as 192 quality, but you're not. It's some lower number and ACX doesn't like t...

Post a picture or the three numbers when you ACX-Check the show that succeeds. Do you get these oddball problems if you get to the end of mastering and Export as MP3 without the Forced Mono checked? You seem to have too many steps in your mastering. You can do this whatever way works for you, but yo...

When I open the mp3 I created, the levels are not at all what they were before I exported it.

Right. Now I need to go back through that and see if I can figure out why.

What's the microphone and model number and how is it connected?

New forum users must have their posts read by an elf before they become visible. That keeps you from trying to sell us stuff which is forbidden.

Now we have to catch up.

As we go.

We can guess at this forever, but we still can't take effects or filters out of a show.

Post the clean voice test.

I think I got it. If you announce through a "Devil's Adapter," you may easily produce a stereo show with Left and Right out of phase. That will pass ACX-Check but will produce a silent Force-Mono MP3. https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=96907 Or any combination of simil...

It’s telling me they are -28 ish and in audacity, they show as -20 There is a clue in those numbers although it may not seem like it. That's really close to 6dB difference. 6dB is half or double depending on which way you're going. Half or double is not a tiny fudge or a slight error here or there....

What happens if you open and check the MP3 you sent to ACX? There is one new place things can get confused. The new Audacity MP3 conversion has a "Force Mono" option, so the one you send to ACX may not be the one you mastered. We expect under certain conditions, the peak may wander a littl...
