They say -3dB but they don't give a range or tolerance. ACX Technical Specifications have two limits and one range. Peak can be no louder than -3dB and Noise can be no louder than -60dB. RMS or loudness is a range. -18dB to -23dB. Many natural, theatrical readings exceed -3dB on peaks when they are...

That's terrific. That's the one you recorded in the studio, right?

When you get that far, post a 20 second test clip according to the above instructions.

I'd love to see your book on all this, although I wonder how much I'll really understand. That's half the fun, isn't it? Trying to write something that the most number of people will understand. I've been known to sidestep some complex processes by saying "If you get stuck, post a question on ...

Apparently they are spreading false information. Or maybe incomplete. MIDI is machine control. It's not music. If you start with a single piano and someone playing one note at a time, you have a fighting chance at conversion. Concert Grand Piano. Press middle C hard. Hold it for three seconds and l...

And with regard to your test clip. I applied the Mastering tools. First three readings and sentence 2/3 down. Screen Shot 2019-03-12 at 11.37.41.png AUDACITY_TEST_WAV-Mastered.wav Note Peak is quieter than the required -3dB and RMS in in the middle of -18dB to -23dB. Noise passes, too at -61dB with ...

A note on Noise. ACX Check requires about a 3/4 second of clean background sound (Room Tone) to give accurate readings. It's unlikely to find that in normal conversational reading and will give an artificially high value. ACX requires well-behaved Room Tone at the beginning and end of each chapter, ...

I am saddened by your unkind reference to my large purpose built acoustic foam recording booth as a milk jug. It's not the environment. That seems fine. It sounds like electronic processing. This is typical of using a computer whose Echo Cancellation or Auto Noise Removal process is running. When y...

A note. I don't mean substitute the new number for the old one. I mean add or subtract it. And yes, everybody goes the wrong direction the first time.

I assume you're overdubbing. Recording latency can be easily discovered by playing back a click track or metronome (backing track) and jamming your headphones against the microphone. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity//pix/GTrackEarBuds.jpg Check the timing between the two tracks. http://kozco.com/tech/...

The omnidirectional setting of the Yeti (2) has about a 10dB volume boost compared to the other three settings. Sound doubles every 6dB. I blame the manual. They never say that in English words. You have to interpret the associated engineering graph. Conspiracy Theory says it's an engineering mistak...
