Hi Koz,
I do have ACX-Check plugin and 36Audiobook macro installed. It seems to me 36Audio DOES change the noise floor but you wrote the macro so I’m probably not understanding. When I run ACX-Check on my own work sample I posted above, my clip is not quiet enough at -54dB, then I run 36Audio and then ACX-Check, it changed the noise floor to -64dB. You used the words “guarantees” 2 of the 3 so maybe the noise floor sometimes gets the audio down below 60 and sometimes it doesn’t?
I also have the NY de-esser and de-clicker installed. When I run them, they don’t seem to do much of anything as I have them set to the default values for the many parameters available to change. I think to get them to actually reduce mouth clicks and esses, I’ll need to study the settings and make adjustments. But then I read your post about declicker. Lots I don’t understand yet.
