You can tell by the strength of the second harmonic

Writing that down.

What's the job? Please note the dark blue furniture moving pads in each picture, including the conference room. The conference room is totally soundproofed, but that pad is there to get rid of wooden table slap and honk audio damage. As DVDdoug above, internal microphone noise is not what normally k...

Are you reading a theoretical audiobook or a theoretical podcast? There are some high points. You can make a USB microphone cheap and inexpensive by leaving out the filtering and processing for the power coming up the USB cable.

Looks like the lowest "G" to me (fundamental frequency of about 49 Hz). So that's the G1. I remember it was part of a musical performance that happened to stop on one clear note long enough to analyze it. Isn't this where I make up something about being able to tell a Steinway from the di...

To specifically address the question. You can't.

There is no direct correlation between dBSPL and dBFS. The best you can do is relative readings and that will depend on the calibration of the microphone. This sound is probably 3dB higher than that one—with no idea what the actual readings are.

I know the decibel it was reading at. You know the dBSPL Sound Pressure Level. That's important because that's not what Audacity is doing. dB in Audacity is dBFS, dB Full Scale. Zero is maximum volume, the loudness where the digital system runs out of numbers and starts damaging the work. The readi...

PROFX mixer Which one? Model numbers? Does it connect to the computer with a USB cable? Let's take this one for example.

This is one way to manage a center-of-performance change. Screen Shot 2019-02-27 at 4.45.08.png There may be other ways to do that, but this technique is handy because it allows you do "tune" the correction without the two segments bumping into each other. It's strongly recommended you rec...

I have an audio book that is over four hours long You can't submit that. You should be in chapters and each chapter no longer than 120 minutes, usually much less. Screen Shot 2019-02-27 at 4.14.46.png That's from here. https://www.acx.com/help/acx-audio-submission-requirements/201456300 2. A way to...

With careful noise management, I can get the voice clip to pass audiobook standards. Diving for noise doesn't count. If the background noise isn't audible at normal listening volume, then you pass. I think you could submit that anywhere and have it succeed. Speech-Mastered.wav First three readings a...
