After successfully recording 9 novels, today my mastering is failing. I'm using a Blue Yeti and no matter where I set the Gain control, I get the same effect; i.e., the RMS level is off ( for example " less than ACX -23db min) and/or the Noise Floor is off. I've played with the Gain control all morn...

Koz, I re-booted but to no avail

All of a sudden, whenever I record, the RMS is much too high ...... anywhere from -14 to -10 db.... and I can't figure out why. I can easily correct it during editing by going to RMS -20 but I'm at a loss as to why this is suddenly happening. I'm using a blue Yeti and the Gain control seems to be ri...

Doug, thanx ... I hit limiter again and that fixed the issue

Doug, I did the audio mastering process just as always but this time the peak failed ... ACX Check says it exceeds -3db and it gets rejected when I try to upload it to ACX. Soooooooo, short of re-recording it, is there anything I can do??? And just what does Peak mean??? Thanx, Tom

I just completed narrating a chapter and when I did my ACX check, everything was OK except for the Peak Value which was a -3db. Is there some way to correct this without re-recording the chapter???

One last question the Blue Yeti Gain Control dial ... should it be turned all the way up?

Thanx, Doug ... somehow the gain control got turned all the way back ... works perfectly now

I'm using a blue yeti ... the problem simply stated is I can barely hear the recorded words or see the track. I'm recording mono track ... and it's for a book. Once I master the recording, everything is OK ... ACX check is ok. It's the 'during the recording' that I'm having trouble with.

This morning I began recording but the wave length (sound track) is barely discernible, visually or audibly. I checked the RMS level on a portion of the track and it registered -46. When I mastered this small section, it then came out alright (both viisually and audibly) and the wave length is of no...
