Re: Getting Noise Floor To -60 dB in Audacity

A note: Voice Bunny seems to be a Renta-Voice service. Contact them when you have a voice job, pick a talent, submit a script and write them a check. No mention of hiring on any new announcers, and they list the thousands of announcers they already have available for production. Where do you fit int...

Re: Best interface for version 2.1.0 with Windows 7

Found it. Everybody insists that's a Skype recording, but they're doing what you want to do. Shipping files around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PU8hXDim-1s I did an actual broadcast radio production by this technique. The Los Angeles talent called the station on the phone and they had a nice cha...

Re: Best interface for version 2.1.0 with Windows 7

we could eliminate cross-species problems if we get the same piece. Most preamp/interfaces don't have personalities. They just make the microphone louder and digitize it. Start with the "studio." A good, dead, echo-free room is paramount. If one of you is recording in a bathroom, no amoun...

Re: record voice mail from phone

I have been trying to go transfer voicemails to audacity but it does not work.
Did you Google your phone type and "Copy Voicemails" or other search term? The object is to do it via software, not a cable.

Connecting a phone to a computer isn't simple.

Re: Getting Noise Floor To -60 dB in Audacity

What about De-Essing ? ... That's not technical conformance. That's between you and Human Quality Control or the client, the step after the ACX Robot. Also see: removing lip ticks, wet mouth noises, etc. If you find a De-Esser setting you like, you might see how close you can get mechanically by pu...

Re: Submitting to ACX?

When I have my final edit, I simply tap 1 and accept my preferred default, 2 and accept, then 3 to make sure I'm good.
I entertained the idea of making AudioBook Mastering 4 into a macro (Chain). The correction values never change.

Re: Getting Noise Floor To -60 dB in Audacity

ACX Technical limits: — Peaks no louder than -3dB. — RMS (performance loudness) between -18dB and -23dB. — Noise no louder than -60dB. much to my surprise, I found that the noisy (to my ear) refrigerator in the next room (which I customarily turn off while recording) did not increase the noise floo...

Re: Best interface for version 2.1.0 with Windows 7

That's a more grown-up version of the UM2. In your application it's good to have a unit that mounts mono easily (plays to both left and right in a stereo show). Both the UM2 and the UMC22 should do that just fine. People buy stereo or multi-channel units for overdubbing and audiobook work and then h...

Re: "Intersection" of multiple tracks?

Are they MP3 clips? If they are, then the background sound is different in each clip and you can't use the cancellation/addition tricks. MP3 rearranges sound depending on the total sounds in the clip. It gets the most file size reduction this way. It doesn't sound like it's doing anything serious an...
