I'm attaching a raw clip and a mastered clip. So the two clips are where....? dynamic mics have a much louder hiss to them? They're lower volume for the same voice, so the natural noise of the preamp or interface (all electronics make some noise) appears that much louder. No matter what you do, you...

I did turn up the gain until the light started flashing green as I spoke, so that's the setting I recorded on just now. And that's just at the quiet end of normal recording volume. The lights are there to get you quickly into the ballpark. Once you record well, the other tools and corrections shoul...

I find they don’t accept what I’ve done. Being loud enough, quiet enough, etc is only the hardware test. Like do you know how to "microphone." That gets you in the front door. You still have to read in an entertaining manner and not have voice distortions or mouth noises. ACX hates "...

recording to stereo before realizing I should’ve done it in mono If you're recording from an H2n I don't think you have any choice. It's a stereo microphone and if you force it to mono during the recording, you may get loudness and clipping damage. There is another way to "convert" from s...

One more. Are you creating stereo tracks for a reason? Screen Shot 2021-04-18 at 1.16.34 PM.png There's no good reason to have Left and Right versions of your voice, unless there's a client who wants it that way. ACX would just as soon you submitted in mono. Screen Shot 2021-04-18 at 1.16.52 PM.png ...

same low rumble noise. Mastering takes care of that. The Mastering Suite is a "suite." A harmonious grouping. You have to use all three tools in order, don't add any in the middle and don't leave any out. They clean up after each other. Don't go nuts until I'm finished. That is NOT how th...

There's a listening trick. Roll the clip forward and set your voice for pleasant listening volume. Then roll it back and listen to the whole thing without touching anything. The first analysis is the GB clip just Mastered. Without doing anything but those three gentle effects, you meet ACX no troubl...
