Re: Goodby Audiobooks, Hello Radio Theater.

That's not Malcolm Gladwell. This is his famous Spaghetti Sauce TED video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIiAAhUeR6Y I've watched it enough times I'm starting to wear out the grooves. This was accepted by ACX a couple of years ago: I wonder if they did that because it sounded like a seasoned BBC P...

Re: MP3 files exported in stereo from Audacity distraed

I've never heard that before. It sounds like a bad 2-way radio transmission.

Now post that same clip without the distortion.

Re: MP3 files exported in stereo from Audacity distraed

it sounds distorted. Can you fuzzy describe the distortion? Talking into a wine glass or milk jug? Loud buzzy? Echo? Have you ever used the sound recorder on your phone? Fire it up and record "clean" sound and "distorted" sound from your sound system or speakers. Export the soun...

Re: Goodby Audiobooks, Hello Radio Theater.

I don't see that. I get a "re-direct from GB," and page after page of why I should subscribe immediately. Do Not Wait! Screen Shot 2021-04-23 at 10.56.39.png There may be a way around the redirection ( in really tiny type ). I have zero doubt it's a quality product. Gladwell has a nice voi...

Re: Goodby Audiobooks, Hello Radio Theater.

There's the obvious new demand that you be able to produce good radio theater (Dum Dum Dummmmm), but there's the not-to-obvious problem of needing to present Copyright Notes, Performance Releases, Ownership Lists, and Attributions. This is one reason ACX stays miles away from this kind of production...

Re: No Fast forward or Rewind

There are different kinds of CDs. If all you did was drag your files over to the CD, you will get a Data CD and it will act just like a shiny, flat hard drive. If you dragged your sound files over to a production program such as iTunes or Windows Media, they have tools to make an Audio CD with all t...

Re: Goodby Audiobooks, Hello Radio Theater.

The print and ebook versions, as well as the audiobook, go on sale April 27.
It would have to be their own production company because Audible/ACX will not publish an audiobook without the paper/eBook version already offered for Amazon sale.

Goodby Audiobooks, Hello Radio Theater.

This from the Wall Street Journal-English 2021-04-23. "Malcolm Gladwell’s latest book opens with ominous sirens, planes droning overhead and a powerful explosion. Unlike most audiobooks, which are offshoots of a traditional text manuscript, “The Bomber Mafia,” was conceived first as an audio pr...

Re: Can you recommend a good quality USB mic for Audacity

What was your old microphone and what was wrong with it? ======================= I like that it lets you set headphone volume and local/remote mix. Observations: -- The AT manual for the AT2020USB+ features setup for Windows 7. Support for Windows 7 ended on January 14, 2020. If you are still using ...
