Re: clips meets ACX standard but I got rejected because -60db noise reduction

The issue with this title is not the noise floor, but rather the quality of the audio. I agree with them. The "Dropshipping" sound test has way too much noise reduction. The voice sounds hollow like talking into a wine glass and the spaces between words are dead instead of sounding like n...

Re: LF Roll-off for speech

Use both all the time. That better? He was an amazing engineer! But did he fix the squeaking reel to reel? I know respected engineers that can't tie their own shoes. If you're having trouble sleeping, I'll explain to you how your microphone works. As the coil of thin wire moves through the magnetic ...

Re: fixing audio that sounds clipped

I don't think you're going to do a lot of good with the processed show. This is a spectrum run of each. Before is on the left. Screen Shot 2019-04-11 at 19.25.49.png Note the overall hump on the right is taller and denser than the left and the little spikes are shorter on the right. That's compressi...

Re: LF Roll-off for speech

Depends on the goal. In general, if you're doing music, you want everything flat and depend on your equipment to behave itself. This is a spectrum analysis I shot a few minutes ago. That's about normal voice distribution. Screen Shot 2019-04-11 at 18.09.45.png If your microphone system still has ene...

Re: LF Roll-off for speech

I can see a condition where you might need both...!! If you have difficult wind conditions during the shoot it's possible the only way you're going to get any recording is with the microphone filter. But that still leaves you with all the other errors in the shoot. On the other hand, nobody is recor...

Re: LF Roll-off for speech

The one in Audacity also compensates for electrical and USB errors. It's not unusual for home USB systems to have horrendous low-pitched sound trash. It's expensive to fix and why bother? Nobody can hear it. Rumble is still sound and it still takes up room in the mastering tools. RMS Normalize will ...

Re: Difficulty installing "ACX Check"

You should not have to create the directory. Audacity does that. Desktop > Go > Go To folder. Screen Shot 2019-04-11 at 16.57.57.png > audacity (lower case is intentional) > Plug-ins. After you install it, close everything and Audacity > Analyze > Add/Remove Plug-ins... ACX Check is an analyzer, not...

Re: Help! RMS Level is pissing me off

If only somebody published a process that guaranteed both Peak and RMS in the same file.........

Re: Practical way to correct mistake in recording

So the problem is tht when you create a new track to crecord the correction, it goes at the bottom of the stack (sometime 60 track !!!)
I'm out.
An "in-line" solution would so simple to use.
