First I want to thank you for your patience! I really appreciate it!

Yes I checked and the volume of the track gain slider was on zero.

I am attaching a file I recorded on Logic and then exported on Audacity: here the peak and the RMS are ok but it says that the noise floor is dead!
In this case I have to remake the recording? :o :o :o


Grateful greetings! :D :D :D

It is possible to paste-in some noise-floor from elsewhere in the recording, into where there is not enough ...

When you increased the recording volume closer to normal, Logic Pro turned on its Noise Gate "to help you." Dig around in the Logic Pro settings and find out how to turn Noise Gate off.

My Italian isn't what it should be, but in places it does sound like the start of words have been cut-off,
as occurs with an improperly set noise-gate.

Things can be done to improve the sound quality, (EQ, de-click, de-ess, de-reverb, de-noise)

ma non c'è modo di sostituire l'inizio mancante delle parole troncate dal cancello.

But there's no way to put back those missing pieces of words.

Hi! When I use De Breath on Mac, in some part of the file the words get cut. So I have to split the file to avoid this problem. It never happened with Noise gate.
Now I am not using any of those, debreath or noise gate on Logic. If I do, once I import the file on Audacity, it says that the noise floor is dead!
So I don't use them and I use just a little of noise gate on Audacity and try to fit the ACX test!

I am still doing a work in progress but thank to you guys!
:D :D :D
