Re: Audible.com QC standards

Nobody is itching to be provided with a list of strange tools they've never seen before and don't know how to use to solve incomprehensible problems measured with college level techniques.

I wrote a review of the UCA 202 here: http://forum.audacityt...

You can of course use the Equalization effect instead. In which case you would want to use settings something like this: Untitled.png Also, applying some dynamic compression will help. As a starting point, try these settings: Threshold: -12 Noise floor: -40 Ratio: 3:1 Attack time: 0.1 Decay time: 1...
