Just finished and saved a chapter. And it doesn't match all the other chapters you produced? This is your first chapter, ever? Where are we in the production process? The blue waves don't measure from dead silence to maximum volume. The blue waves only measure about the loudest 24dB of the show out...

I love SSDs. Fast as can be, no heat and they're vibration resistant. One note, they're a good deal more sensitive to filling up because of the internal housekeeping they do, so don't run one maxed out. How did you get from your old drive to the new one? Back out to 10,000 feet. What's common about ...

It should all be confusing. There are only three people on earth trying to match two different studios.

You were never exposed to the full glory of Mastering and voice corrections. Now you know why we strongly recommend a well-behaved microphone and studio. With my Zoom H1n or your H2, it's possible to record in a dead quiet, echo free room, transfer it to the computer, cut it down, master it and subm...

You weren't expecting a one-button-push solution were you? This is less terrible than it looks because many of the tools hold their settings. For example, if you set up Effect > Limiter once, the second time, it's Effect > Limiter > OK . I can whip through Mastering a short test in about 12 seconds....

I don't remember, have you ever used Noise Reduction? It works in two swipes. Drag-select some portion of clean background noise. Quarter Second? Half Second? No shuffling, breathing, coughing, etc. Just background sound. Effect > Noise Reduction > Profile. That lets Noise Reduction "sniff"...

that's why you went to California! I took a wrong turn in Arizona. Wait. What is this warm place with palm trees and surfers? I'm sending you high quality MP3s of your test clips. I used the classic DeEsser... https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=245549#p245549 ...according to these setti...

an actor cultivates exactly 2 days' worth of chin stubble. That's not the hard part. The hard part is maintaining that growth through five days of shooting. Makeup gets a warning if you're planning on shooting out of order. Today, we're going to shoot the establishing scenes from the beginning of t...

Shift+R and plain R are the difference between recording on a new track and starting at the end of the old track.

You can reverse those in Preferences > Recording > Record a new track.

Cows (Contented). It's perfect. I applied simple Mastering and it exactly fits the ACX requirements. Screen Shot 2020-01-09 at 9.24.09.png ContentedCows51Mastered.wav Nobody can read RMS (loudness) and Peak to match at the same time. It's Mastering's job to get them together. If Noise passes after M...
