I didn't know Bailey was a she. I see what happened. The text page isn't a complete transcription. I finally sat down to listen to the full version of the interview. I can only say that I was moved to tears by the end of it - good tears. Did we ever work out how sick you had to be to get that voice?...

I'm not sure where we're going with that. Sample.wav doesn't pass ACX.

Whatever works for you. Yes, there are some serious problems if your voice wanders in volume over the course of a chapter. The standard suite can withstand a little of that, but any "heavy theatrical wandering" is going to be a problem. This is one reason you're wearing good quality headph...

nothing physically connected to the computer. Laptop? Are you recording the laptop built-in microphone? The sound has to be coming from somewhere.

I'm still unsure about peaks. Theatrical peaks or blue soundwave peaks? ACX has firm rules about that because they have to be able to transform your work into other platforms and formats with no hint of damage. Conversion in and out of MP3 can cause peak damage. That's why Effect > Limiter in the A...

and found this neat video. Yes, but. This isn't a Pop question. We know how to do that. Did you notice his overly crissssp ssssibilance went away with the sock? So that's the answer. Did he ever tell you what kind of sock he used? Inquiring minds want to know. We're not fond of YouTube videos. You'...

White is equal energy per frequency. Pink is equal energy per octave. I'm not sure what brown is.

The question is what happens at the extreme upper end where the tone generations runs into Nyquist limits.

Since I'm sure you have loads of leisure time, do a clean recording (without the blue foam thing) and then two different socks, announcing as you go.
