Re: Is ACX Check Lying to Me?

Works for me. Again, technical conformance is the first step and you still have to pass theatrical and vocal quality tests. We can do some of that, but that part is mostly up to them.

Re: Is ACX Check Lying to Me?

I followed the link and this happened when I tried to use the survey: It's highly animated and I wouldn't be shocked if some browsers can't deal with it. Do you have cookies enabled? Try a different browser. You may also find you can't "back up" in the posting process. If you find somethi...

Re: Audacity automatically saving projects as zipped files

That's the icon for VLC Media Player. No, I can't think of a way to make this more surreal, either. If it really is an AUP file, you should be able to open it in TextEdit or NotePad. The AUP file is simple text. Right-Click > Open With.... http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/aupFileGraphic-redbox.jpg...

Re: lock labels to specific track location

Did you think you were marking the performance or the time? The label track defaults to marking the time. Everybody I know wants to mark the performance. "This is exactly when I stopped talking to take a breath." Not 1:34:15. I want that breath label to stick no matter what I do to the res...

Re: Is ACX Check Lying to Me?

Carpeting stores also have that flooring foam that looks like a multi-colored trash pile compressed into sheets. That stuff might work. It's job is to be dense and stiff. I didn't use Home Depot for the pads. I walked into a moving company in Gritty South-East Los Angeles (I'm required to say "...

Re: Problems downloading plug-ins

I just want to record. The longest posting on the forum is Ian who "just wanted to record" audiobooks from his apartment in Hollywood. 39 forum chapters and over a year. It appears that producing audiobooks should be easy and the microphone makers assure you it is. It's not. It's pretty c...

Re: Is ACX Check Lying to Me?

Do write back when you get your evaluation. Quote the post. Everybody with a pulse is trying to read for audiobooks and ACX's rapid evaluation can be misleading. For one recent example, they complained about excessive compression. What actually happened was the reader was overloading their sound cha...
