Re: PLEASE HELP!!! Can I remove echo from my audiobook recording?

Upwork seems to be a freelancing platform. I can't see any sound standards or other restrictions. In my opinion, if you can meet ACX/Audible Audiobook standards, you can publish anywhere. Their numbers are effectively the same as Broadcast, so once you clear that, you should be good to go. There are...

Re: PLEASE HELP!!! Can I remove echo from my audiobook recording?

There's a raw recording on the bottom of the previous page Forgive me. Caffeine Deprivation. Right then. I started with that posting and applied AudioBook Mastering and then very gentle Noise Reduction of the beast (6, 6, 6). Screen Shot 2019-11-22 at 5.29.56.png That's it. I didn't do anything els...

Re: Mountain River Hiss. Best way to remove?

We did publish a thing about Noise Reduction.

https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/noi ... ction.html
A minimum of 2048 samples (0.05 sec. at 44100 Hz sample rate) is needed, below which an error will be shown. A longer profile is better.

Oh, John! Oh Marsha!

That's another theater thing. Stan Freberg once produced a 2:30 radio theater piece with just those words and background music. He did everything with vocal intonation and timing.

aka obsessiveness I can do that. My hat says "Obsessive Engineer." If you're having trouble sleeping, I can explain how your microphone works. I'm better than warm milk. I would probably have never gotten a single episode out. See: the forum poster who was planning on carefully correcting...

Re: PLEASE HELP!!! Can I remove echo from my audiobook recording?

I thought (I read) that ACX read a peak of -3db You did. It also has an allowable loudness range of -18dB to -23dB, and a maximum noise loudness of -60dB. Two limits and a range and you have to hit all three at the same time. it (Noise Reduction) ADDS another sound... Correct. The noise reduction t...

Re: Equalising existing audiobooks

Are the audiobooks still available on-line? You might be far better buying the ones you want to listen to, depending on how valuable your time is. I can get audiobooks from both the Los Angeles City and the Los Angeles County libraries for the cost of walking over and presenting my library card(s). ...

Re: Urgent File Recovery Help

I know there have been problems with those (orphan blocks) in the past Hard to know. That's when there is a damaged or missing AU file or the little AU files and the AUP instructions don't match. In extreme cases, for example, the last half of an hour show may be missing or flatlined. That might ha...
