While I had a live sound clip, I created a custom equalization. That microphone has an artificial tonal boost that makes sound very hard, crisp and sharp on the idea that it sounds more "professional." I'm not fond of that sound, so I designed a filter to suppress that crispness. There are...

It's a lovely sound test, but you didn't follow the instructions. We need that "hold your breath and don't move" segment at the beginning. That's how we determine what your background noise volume is. Also, this test will cause A CX Check to fail whether the clip is actually defective or n...

I am trying to figure out what you mean by "Chong." When you start all but the most modern Macs, you get the classic CHONG startup tone. That's the Mac equivalent of the Windows Power On Self Test. Never mind. You may not have the startup chime. https://appleinsider.com/articles/16/10/31/...

Does that make any sense? I cannot figure it. As above, that should be impossible with the built-in microphone and speaker. One more confirmation test. Select one place in the blue waves with sound. Use the Magnifier Tool and keep clicking on that one place so the waves get wider and wider. As you ...

I'll be paying a visit. We have no set process for mouth noises and other voice quality issues.

There are some technical artifacts I can't account for.

what is acoustic level and how do I adjust it Get closer, talk louder. Does the space I'm in affect RMS? Let's say no. If you factor in echoes and a lot of other side issues, you might create a case for a volume change, but you're not supposed to have echoes in your audiobook anyway. Microphone to ...

As above, it's not really that far off. Did you change your mouth to microphone spacing? You should be about a power fist away from your pop and blast filter. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/PowerFistSpacing-Screen-500t.jpg Or a Hawaiian Shaka away from the microphone. http://www.kozco.com/te...

I know this practically a joke, but did you restart your machine? Do a Clean Shutdown: Shift-Shutdown. Then Start. That resets more things. See if that helps.

We published a mastering suite of tools. https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=96103 It guarantees RMS and Peak and if you have a quiet recording, you should be good to go. I processed your clip and added 9dB of noise reduction. Screen Shot 2018-08-30 at 11.03.45.png WTE Title Samp...

Works for me. You have to be happy with the sound and they have to feel good over a long time. There's a difference between listening to a favorite brief podcast and presenting a script for four hours, day after day. I think I may know someone with a pair of these. They use them for production at a ...
