Re: Submitting an ACX Audition for your own book

Re: blue recording sound waves low

using my old plug in microphone the sound was fine. Keep using your old microphone. I see two problems straight away: Recording a guest via Zoom is not the easiest thing. If you got it to work at all, hold onto that technique with white knuckles. Is there something between the Neewer and the comput...

Re: New to Audacity but confused about Nyquist

Middle of the movie problem.

From the top: I'm in Audacity [version number] and I want to install the [named] Nyquist filter or effect that I got from [somewhere].

Re: Microphone placement for Acx audiobooks?

Overhead and tipped is good because it leaves you free to read your script in front. Also, if it's even with or slightly above your nose, it's much less likely to pick up P-Popping and other mouth noises. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/wynonna2.jpg But you don't have to do that. Which microphon...

Re: Submitting an ACX Audition for your own book

It really exists? I thought you'd made it up. It's an amalgam (minus the mercury). There really are dairy farms in the Catskills, but on the western side, facing the the New York Southern Tier not the Hudson side—or there were when I lived there. The Hudson side, famous for The Hudson School (parts...

COWS mastered 16th.wav
Makes me want to rush right out to the Tesco/7-Eleven/Aldi/Trader Joe's and buy some Catskill Farms Milk.

Re: Submitting an ACX Audition for your own book

not at all the same thing as sending an audition piece for one's own original (ie not a reading of a published work) audiobook. I thought you got around that restriction by referencing an existing published (paper) work. ACX Audiolab doesn't give a noise floor reading (-71.56dB Pass in Audacity's r...

Re: No audio after resolving an error message

the common mistake of putting the APF file into the data file Do you mean you put the Audacity AUP file inside the _DATA folder by accident? They're supposed to be separate. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MyMusicAUP-MyMusic_DATA.jpg I originally recorded this project (dnd session 4) in lat...

Re: Advice needed on using AT2020 mic

The Audio Technica AT2020 is a side-address microphone. You don't play into the end like many other microphones, you play into the side grill just up from the company name. It's a directional microphone, so if you pick any other orientation, the volume will be lower and/or you could have tonal disto...

Sometimes this works better than others. The only sure way to know is set it up and try it.
