I dare you to make a submission to ACX with this I was thinking about that. It might pass, not because of general shoddy QC, but from overwork. Every third person on earth is trying to read audiobooks (make a mint and retire to a seaside cottage on Mal de Mer, etc.) I was a good way into the perfor...

What are you plugging things into? A small mixer? A guitar amplifier? Computer? A dynamic microphone needs a preamplifier. The volume of a microphone is roughly a thousand times quieter than is needed to record or use for a performance. You have to boost it somewhere. Tell us what you're plugging it...

I did a fake analysis from your first clip and I got it to pass technical conformance, but I had to work at it. How are you listening? Good, sealed headphones are recommended for analysis.

I printed out my scripts because I like having the control of shuffling paper. I can select font size and type style so it's easy for...

There it is. LUFS.

Actually, there is a podcast sound standard, but it's a good deal more scrambled and disorganized than "legacy" and broadcast. Audacity has no published corrections and processes to get there.

If you can't do it in post production, and Audacity doesn't do anything in pre-production, that lets us out of the game. Who's producing the work? ACX Audiobooks company has published technical standards for submitting work. They're cousins to broadcast standards. They send your submission to what w...
