Audacity Forum

Compared to a normal Audacity project, they're usually about the same size.

I saved a project and a lossless project of the same show. The project _DATA folder was 321MB and the lossless was 635MB.

when I bought some new gear. Whose name and model numbers are? This is a constant and historic problem with people doing wild, live recording. It's generally not the digital file structure that causes problems. The analog part of the system has very strict limits and that's what usually creates dis...

I'd recommend exporting to WAV whether you make an AUP project or not. That's how I do it. That doesn't work with muli-track shows. There is no multi-track WAV. You can also Save a Lossless Project . That produces a regular Audacity project with additional super-high quality sound files for each tr...

Nobody can read directly into ACX except by accident. So you should stop worrying about that. As a fuzzy rule, you should read so occasional blue tip peaks on the timeline reach about half-way (0.5 or 50%). The fuzzy words are intentional Nobody will stop breathing if your reading is a bit low or hi...

I followed the link cold and got the new one.

Is this your first book? There is one thing you can do. Produce a very short audiobook test or "audition" and post that. Unless you did that already once, there will be no collisions or conflicts and you should get a flag to go ahead with the rest of the book—assuming the audition was OK. ...

I then uploaded the new mp3 to the ACX site but when I played it back, the original room tones were still there ... 5 secs in front and 10 in back. What am I doing wrong??? If you played back the MP3 before you uploaded it and it was fine, then what you're doing wrong is asking us to explain ACX's ...

I think I'm going to make a sandwich and give this a minute to settle.

Isn't this better than the forums who take a week to get a response?

Duelling Posts. exported the new version in mp3. Did you play that one back to make sure it was OK? You didn't say those words. Which Audacity are you using? There was an early Audacity version that had trouble exporting work over existing work with the same filename. Those people had some surprises...

Seems awful simple ... There may be some hidden problems. You can't easily edit the submitted MP3s. If you do it in Audacity, the new MP3 Export will be at a lower sound quality than the original. That's the Export MP3 at Constant Bitrate of 192 or higher thing ACX insists on. Audacity doesn't edit...
