Sample Analysis Please!

You’re a lot closer than most people get. There is a stunning amount of sub-sonic noise. Earthquake/thunderstorm stuff. It responds nicely to Steve’s vocal filter.

This is my local copy.

Download and unzip it to LF_rolloff_for_speech.xml. Install it in the Audacity Equalizer tool.

Adding Audacity Equalization Curves
– Select something on the timeline.
– Effect > Equalization > Save/Manage Curves > Import
– Select LF_rolloff_for_speech.xml > OK. (it won’t open the ZIP. You have to decompress it)
– LF rolloff for speech now appears in the equalization preset curve list.

Then apply it.

LF Rolloff (rumble filter)
– Select the whole clip or show by clicking just above MUTE.
– Effect > Equalization: LF Rolloff for speech, 5000 Length (approx) > OK


All I did was “roll off” all the rumble. I ran ACX-Check and it passes.

You can run ACX-Check, too. It’s a plugin that appears under Analyze.

It automatically checks for the three sound qualities that ACX looks for when you submit your work.

Actually, the automated robot does that. If that passes, the work goes on to Human Quality Control.

Describe your studio.
