ACX production and made it a sticky or something permenant.
Yes, I’ve been thinking about that. But until then, I published an AudioBook Mastering Suite.
It’s designed to start from a raw reading and process to final submission. It’s designed to sound exactly like you when you get done and it doesn’t use a compression step.
If you fail noise (a lot of home readers do) then you need to add a noise reduction step.
If your voice is harsh, crisp and “essy” you can add a published DeEsser. That part isn’t in the suite. DeEssing should be one of the final things you do because the DeEsser depends on stable volume while it’s working.
Please don’t ad-lib. The tools in the mastering suite depend on each other.
Try it with a test sound clip. Also, publish the clip here on the forum. That, too, has a format.
