Perhaps they do...

Re: Audible.com QC standards

These are very helpful. So what can someone do with a "broken" show? As a narrator I want to focus on the reading itself. I'm not yet to the point of hiring engineers, but I do need a fix, I'm afraid. What I'd suggest in this case is to start a new topic about your specific issues. ACX ha...

Re: EDIT/PREFERENCES/RECORDING/OK PER PROJECT

The "Sound Activated Recording" option should normally be off (not selected).

Re: Audible.com QC standards

By the way, Librivox has a tool called "Checker" that gives also some hints with regard to their standard. It is mostly concerned with the correct mp3 encoding of the finished, exported audio. Useful find Robert. Just to make a note in this thread, it's available here: http://www.cgjennin...

Re: Really simple Tone and Volume Control

As Audacity now has the "Bass and Treble" effect, this plug-in has been retired to the forum plug-in archive.
