May stay that way.

Good idea.

You were going to pay royalties on all that music, right?

Music would be desirable from a listeners point of view, but a nightmare for ACX (and maybe you, too).

You should probably use that clip just as it is. See in the ACX-Check, the RMS (Loudness) is a small fraction of a dB away from failing. If you have to do this again, record "The End" slightly louder. Also, see in the blue waves, "End" is a lower volume than "The." That...

I'm not a fan of Effect > Noise Gate , but that's how I got it to work.

Maybe they think Closing Credits should be a minute of thanking your mum and your Uncle Jack and all the people who gave you research for the book and that guy who helped you park last week at the Piggly Wiggly. Not two words. Can you make it longer? Who inspired you to do this? Is it based on actua...

I couldn't do it, either. I think the clip is too short.

Correct "The End" as part of the last chapter instead of two words by themselves.

It still has to pass ACX, but yes, that's a good start. That may explain some of the noises I found on your test. There were some ultra-sonic dog-whistle noises (laptop screen scanning interference) and something that had to be laptop vent fan noises. You wouldn't get either of those so loud with a ...

In this test, the name change did not affect the data access and I am able to work with the data. You mean when you changed the name and then changed it back, right? Yes, that's expected to work. If you try to open a show with one simple name change, it will just simple not open. Audacity uses the ...

Because you're actually recording your laptop tinny, built-in microphone, not the music feed.

Check the Audacity recording device in the device toolbar.

I saw an extended "LONG VERSION!" (warning) technical Q & A video. It's 16 minutes. Given that could be Google or YouTube trying to "help me," but still. The video is broken up into useful information as well as pointers and references rather than trying to cover everything i...

Missed one. Remember the original complaint? If you need tons of Noise Reduction, find out why and fix it. Record in a better environment or create a tiny quiet environment to record in.
