The quick answer is no. The software isn't very smart. You can tell Alice's voice from Jane, but the software has no clue. It's all voices and they all sound the same, and worse, they all have similar tonal values. If someone forces you to do an interview in a public place, sometimes you can force i...

I do use noise reduction as I am not a fan of background noise, even neutral noise. Depending on Noise Reduction settings, you can cause voice distortion. That cellphone, talking into a wine glass effect. If you ACX publish they may get on your case about that. They hate stiff noise reduction and t...

Are you using a Noise Gate on your show? Noise Reduction? While the whole presentation passes audiobook testing, you do sound a little like talking into a tube. That can cause maching problems, too. Have you published before?

If you mean voice tones, I don't hear all that much difference and if you didn't tell me there was anything wrong, I would have missed it. "Make This Sound Like That" is almost always either hopeless or a career move. "Make these tones a little louder...roll off these tones just a bit...

If you're used to MP3 or other compressed files, that can seem weird, but you can't edit or change an MP3 without decompressing it into it's original "real" size and that can be a very nasty surprise. Even better, if you do edit or change an MP3, you can't make a new one without the sound ...

Those areas may be permanently damaged. It's not unusual for ACX to complain about one shortcoming when you have multiple problems. It's n...

You do exactly the same thing at the other end only backwards. The director yells 'Theme!" and the music starts up full. Music plays for a bit and the directors yells "Theme Under, Announce!" The music fades way down but not all the way out and you start talking at full volume. These ...

Here. This one's fully qualified with the envelope tool. While you're closing the show, the music fades in (establish theme) but very quietly behind you. When you finish the last word, the theme comes up full and plays out the show.

Assuming you have all your production elements, Voice, Music, Stingers, on separate tracks, you can use the Time Shift Tool (two sideways arrows) to push the tracks in any order you want. Audacity will play everything unless you stop it with the MUTE and SOLO buttons on the left. Screen Shot 2019-07...
