ACX AudioLab? Is the goal to read for audiobooks?

You don't have to send sound files to them unless you want to. Audacity publishes ACX-Check.

You want the cloud up and rain all over version? I think I can hear street noises back there in the first half. You're too close to the microphone. I can hear breath noises and p-popping in a couple of places. Your support sounds are too loud. That keypad sound effect at 3 seconds is nearly three ti...

should I try it with the 48v off?? Could that be the solution? Dynamic microphones can't "see" phantom power because of the way they're wired. It doesn't make any difference to them. ...supposedly it's (FetHead) similar to a cloudlifter, There are on-line podcasts with people comparing Cl...

So close. Which Rode and which Focusrite? You can't listen to the computer for live monitoring. Plug the headphones into the Focusrite and set monitor ON (depending on which Focusrite) and turn Audacity Playthrough off in Preferences. This shows up in overdubbing and musical performances because you...

Ding!

Default frequencies are 3000 and 13000. Try those first.

This will check your hearing. 13000 is getting into the high-pitch tonal range where older people lose it.
