Re: Apply chains not working properly

What's the chain and what is its job? Post it.

viewtopic.php?f=49&t=64936

I'm pretty sure the forum will allow that. Post back if it doesn't.

Re: Noise Floor

I'm about a quarter through Sound Speed. So far he's got all this stuff nailed. I note he's sitting in a room with about a million dollars of soundproof paneling. I wonder if he addresses that. I know from experience you can get just about any microphone to work in a quiet, echo-free room. He does a...

Re: Noise Floor

Once we get one to work without any big fuss. I'll run it through mastering, publish the results and then you get to start with your click and pop suppression—if you feel like it. Once you clear the technical hurdles, it gets a lot fuzzier. ACX doesn't want any distractions. ACX wants all your chapt...

Re: Noise Floor

Theatrical processing is beyond me. I note nobody ever got bounced (that I know of) for human sounds. Breathing is normal, but they also have a rule against distracting sounds. There was one poster who sounded clinically asthmatic and I'm not sure where to go with that. It was painful to listen to a...

Re: Noise Floor

I got your last clip to pass ACX Technical (first three entries and sentence two-thirds down) but the voice quality would never make it. Screen Shot 2018-09-08 at 6.25.05.png ACX tests in two steps. The Robot which works about like ACX Check does, but then the submission goes to Human Quality Contro...

Re: Noise Floor

Right. The switch on the back should be #1, Cardioid. That means it doesn't receive noises and echoes from the back. You should be talking into the blue logo.

Re: Noise Floor

Do you have any recommendations of what other filters I should be using to get this to acx standards? Yes. We published a simple three-step process for producing an ACX compliant submission. That's later. It's a terrible idea to try and solve production sound problems later in effects and filters f...

Re: Noise Floor

You said you normally produce in mono. You should publish forum clips that way, too. That way you can post up to 20 seconds instead of 10 for stereo. Also, you noticed the ACX Check display is simpler in mono. ACX recommends submissions in mono. And when you do post tests, use a lot of different wor...
