Home recording is not that easy and many performers go through multiple cycles of performing and testing before they hit a process and technique that works.

There are fake versions who scramble the version number and it's good to know if you have one of those. There is n...

You place a label at the beginning of each song you want to appear on its own. Then File > Export > Export Multiple.

professional recording studio Ask if they know how to produce audiobook sound. ACX has rules about how long the chapters need to be, how long the silences are and how to announce the introductions, etc. Home recording is not easy. Some posters record their first book in a studio and then try record...
