I did notice one other problem while I was messing with that clip. Your "room tone" (background sound) isn't background sound. It has thumping and shuffling in there. You can't do that. ACX expects your Room Tone before and after each chapter to sound like quiet rain, almost like you weren...

I think I found all the formulae and spells. I did corrections on the original clean sound clip, Corsairs. I applied Audiobook Mastering, Noise Reduction of the Beast followed by DeEssing according to these settings. Screen Shot 2020-07-18 at 9.01.26 AM.png Screen Shot 2020-07-18 at 10.38.30 AM.png ...

Disregard this. TY Are you discovering you need to be good at bookkeeping as well as theatrical reading? ClapBoard.jpg The clap board is clapped at the beginning of every scene so the picture and separate sound have any hope of getting in sync in the edit room. Less known is all that writing on the...

Disregard this. TY

It also now looks completely different and gave me different results on some files. ACX Check Classic had trouble with longer sound files in the newer Audacity. The current ACX Check only presents the three readings that ACX is watching for, is speedy, and, for the most part, produces readings near...

I've recorded 2 more using my usb mic. I'm not ignoring you. I was typing a response when my internet went down. It's been dead for about a half-hour. I noticed I wasn't getting a response to my connection. That's...special. Anyway. We need to resolve the broken laptop before we go any further. Do ...

Because somebody has to manage that, and Audacity doesn't have a lot of somebodies. This is the Audacity corporate headquarters in Land's End, in Britain's lower left-hand corner. https://www.kozco.com/pix/AudacityHeadquarters.jpg If you wanted to help us "get with the times" on all three ...

Correct me, but you can export the Macro as a text file for safekeeping and sharing with others? This is another place that sometimes magic happens.

Export and post it here. Thanx.

"Flatten" doesn't do anything to the sound. Correct. The goal is to throw a "foreign" curve in there, apply it, and then see if the Audiobook Macro sets the curve to Low Rolloff. Some early Macro applications wouldn't. That's the reason there is not an officially sanctioned Audi...

Presumably the test will come once the laptop is switched off and on again...

Let us know how it goes.
