If you record in a quiet room with no echoes, you're done. You're done with the technical standards. That's the first thing that ACX checks when you submit to them. It has to be loud enough with no distortion and no distracting noises. That's basically their three standards in English. But then you...

Audacity doesn't apply effects, filters or corrections during recording. It's up to you to capture your voice in the right volume range by managing the microphone system.

This is the step the recording engineer would normally be doing.

The idea is to perform so your voice is in the ballpark, not too quiet and not too loud, and then use the Audacity tools to correct the performance so it meets ACX audiobook standards. As a fuzzy rule, you announce so the bouncing sound meter occasionally jumps up to -6 to -10 (yellow range) and the...

Labels You can also create labels while playing or recording. To create a point label at the current position of the green playback cursor or red recording cursor, choose Edit > Labels > Add Label at Playback Position or its keyboard shortcut Ctrl + M (⌘ + . on Mac). You should know there's an extra...

There is a processing suite of tools that can take a raw recording up to ACX standards—if the performance is close enough. And I would show you what those tools are, but my web site seems to ...

A band's complete performance So that we understand this, you used to set up and broadcast the performances in real time and now you want to record them as well? An Audio CD will only hold about 75 minutes of music. You never get the 80 minutes it says on the label. It's up to the operator to pay a...

Do you get an error message? this is ruining a lot of work and setting me back by days. If you're a constant user of Audacity you might look if your drive is filling up. Audacity will go until it runs out of room to put the sound. Other possible causes will depend on your job. What is your job? Koz

I can never find the topic group I need to post my quest

I understand that I need to download and install the LAME plug-in so I can convert Audacity's AUP files to MP3 files. That's dangerous. Audacity can create a number of different products after you get done performing. It can Save a Project which will retain many of the timeline characteristics and ...
