Audacity Forum

Quick note, the technical specification requirement is step one. You also have to pass Human Quality Control. That's where a person listens to your work for theater, voice quality and distortion.

You have to pass everything.

Hi Steve and Koz, Thanks for your help with the Audacity issues guys. I am now producing Audacity standards recordings. Two things that I also discovered; firstly, I was not getting through the test due to noise floor issues. The solution is to copy and paste a short silent part of the recording, eg if less than a second at beginning, copy and paste that silent section there and add it on to the beginning giving at least 1 second of loudness check facility and the end if there is around 2 seconds or less do the same here copy and paste that silence at the end to extend the end silence and voila the recording fits ACX requirements. Second, make sure that when the recording is highlighted as "Selected" ensure that the gain button is set at zero. Then save the recording and all should now be good.

voila the recording fits ACX requirements.

It solves ACX Check. ACX Check looks down the recording for the quietest portion and measures that. If your quiet portion is "fake," it will give you a false reading. Same thing happens when people Generate > Silence and stick that on the beginning and end of the chapters instead of actual room sounds.

This presentation will likely fail Human Quality Control who will wonder how come the spaces between words are a lot noisier than the Room Tone at the beginning and end of the chapter.

Third Time. Record a ten second voice test and post it on the forum. Record it, cut it to length and post it. No effects, filters, or corrections.
