I have never in my life created a macro. I have never even attempted to create a macro, but I overheard somebody talking about them the other day while waiting for a table in a restaurant, and I figured why not give it a shot? So I came home and tried to put the 3-step process into the macro, which is what led me to contact you because of that first step issue. I'm kind of stubborn and I like logic puzzles, so I had a good time sussing my way through it. I'm very pleased to hear it worked out okay on your end and hope other people will enjoy using it, too!

(I kinda feel like Wonder Woman right now, I have to admit.)

Hi Wonder Woman (Deborah)

well done

That's great feedback - it means that Audacity Macros are usable and understandable for non-geeks.

OK so I updated the 2.3.2 alpha manual today
https://alphamanual.audacityteam.org/ma ... cros#store

I also added a custom TOC to that page as it is long and complex:

Hi, Koz!

Thank you for the tips!

I did post a sound check on here in another forum topic but nobody ever responded to it.

Also, is anybody including the walk-through for the ACX passing recipe anywhere? Because people would like to have that info. I know I would (which is why I attempted to make the macro in the first place).

There's the manual for Audiobook Mastering.

https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Audiobook_Mastering

See: Process. That's a step-by-step. Those instructions are more involved than you would think because two of the tools have to be downloaded and installed. They don't come with standard Audacity.

Please note that the tools are a suite—a harmonious grouping. It's not good to use them out of order or leave any out. That's why they lend themselves to a Macro.

I responded to the other post.

TOC = Table Of Contents

The Manual is written in HTML which can atutogenerate TOC's if required - but habd-built custom TOCs are prettier and more customizable.
