This video has helped me *so* much! I'm looking forward to more concise and beginner friendly videos!

Trying to get the ACX checks to work with Audacity 3.7. Your example does not have the current options. This is whack-a-mole.

Thanks heaps for this great advice! 😁🌟

Hi Devin! This was very helpful thank you so much

hi do you by chance have this information about the values of what the peak level, RMS level, and noise floor level should be exactly to pass ACX check in the new audacity 3.6 version? Im trying to get started narrating for ACX and this video seems fantastic except the new audacity version looks very different when i try to go adjust the peak level and noise floor, would love your help please!! do you have a video of how to adjust all this with the new 3.6 version of audacity?

This was great!! Thank you so much!

I've been looking for info on doing the mastering for Audible sound levels for weeks, because every tweak I made blew up the other settings. Yours is the best I've found. Thanks so much.

I'm new to Audacity...I've always been a Logic Pro snob. What I like about Audacity is that you can surgically apply FX. In Logic, they are plugins that sit on the track so it's all or nothing. The work around is to copy the offending piece to a new track. in the same location obviously. Add the plug-in, say a de-clicker, and then move that piece up to replace the old one in the original track. And then add my fades to the beginning and end of the section. YIKES! So, what I have started doing is recording in Logic Pro where I have my EQ and Compression set for my voice and my room. I export that without edits and then import it into Audacity where I can then apply the FX where needed, and of course use the ACX Checker. Sort of combines the best of both worlds. You might ask why not just use the Audacity FX for EQ etc... I've just invested a lot into the plugins I have for LPX and I have them dialed in so precisely with various custom presets for different situations and so I don't want to start over. Also, Logic Pro is now out for iPad and have all my project setups there. My recording booth is a very small, converted closet so sitting in there for long periods of time editing is not the most fun. Wish Audacity would come out for iPad OS!! Love your post and you won yourself a new subscriber!!

I've tried punch & roll and the dog clicker method. I much prefer the latter.

I wish I found this video before I spend hours listening to others giving you only bits and pieces. Look forward to your other videos and tips. 🙏

I can't find part one.

Thank you mate! I know this may sound like a silly question, but would you say there’s any measurable difference or alternative strategies needed for this when narrating books?

I DID IT- I finished my first audio book- I was 3 days late submitting- hope I don't get sued!!

Punch and roll is going to make life SO much easier for recording audiobooks holy molyyyy, cheers for the video! Have been loving your content since finding the channel last week!

How do we use the new limiter in the latest version of Audacity ?

You are literally a God send!

Again, such a huge help!

This is so so helpful!

Thank ypu for the tip, sir. I was recording today and realized that i need to perfect my breathing technique.

Your approach with this information is very good and helpful! Thank you

Thank you so much for this video! I am feeling so over my head right now getting ready to record my first audiobook project and your videos are really helping me feel more prepared, so I love you.

Gavin, I have a SERIOUS favor to ask, and I'm being totally rude doing it off-topic here. When you do UA-cam videos do you use a cardioid XLR mic and Audacity, and a separate cam, then sync? I'm, like, ?!?!? on the how-to. And what do you think is the highest noise floor that can pass for "pro" work after editing in Audacity, as in can you get away with -39 db? I will pay you back the favor SOMEHOW and/or pass it along... Also, you might consider those for videos. I have yet to see a good video from a voiceover pro on how they do their UA-cam videos, I've checked out about everyone, and frankly you provide info in the most concise, understandable way with the best signal-to-noise ratio. I hope VO and YT and Life are being good to you! Cheers man.

Great video sir!

Very practical advice. Thanks!

💯

i find noise reduction necessary to reduce white noise .

I was considering holding the mic further away from my mouth to avoid mouth clicks. it might be worth the trade off because mouth clicks are awful

Thanks for this series.. I'm just getting started with this and i ride the "struggle bus" with editing. I had some recommendations about Normalize from another UA-camr but there was not much detail.. I do appreciate explanation. It makes more sense than before. Also thanks for the recommendation for the De-esser.

How did you overlay the room tone with the practice? My cursor is not indicating the same when I try to do so.

What to do when you're on autopilot breathing? After these exercises.. are we always supposed to breathe through nose and exhale through mouth?

WHat if you have like 16 min audio? Common, automation dude.

This helped a lot, thank you!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!

Great tips thanks!

To make the selecting for deleting easier press the Z key. It adjusts the selection to the nearest 0 crossing.

Howdy! I’m having issues with my gut expanding but not my sides when I try the exercise (I’m able to not have my chest move) any tips on what I might be doing wrong?

THANK YOU! I have been trying for WAY too long to find a tutorial that even mentions clicks in a word! The whole video is great, perfectly informative, and has been a big help! Much appreciated!!

Thank you. I like that your videos go straight to the point. You wouldn't believe (or you might) what a person wades through starting out. I credit you, Bill DeWees, and Nastasia Marquez for getting me going. You have the kind of calm, natural, mellow voice that I think must be doing GREAT for you, by the way. Can I ask a small question that for me right now is huge? I finally finished my recording space and it's way more than adequate, soundproofed against incoming noise, soundproofed inside for reflection, no equipment except my mic, interface, headphones, and a computer monitor inside... and I still hear a tiny hiss when I put on my headphones. Is this normal? Noise from the interface or headphones? Is my gain up too high? After all the work I've put in, it's driving me bananas.

Wow thank you so much for your video! I found it very helpful, easy to follow and it looked and sounded great! I am excited to try and record my first UA-cam video now with your tricks implemented. - You new subscriber: The.Barefoot.Homestead :)

I've started to do most of my editing by looking at the Spectrogram instead of just the waveform. I'm sure there's much more I can learn about this but I haven't been able to find many videos. It's hard to believe that at my level I'm much beyond a beginner, but I'm having trouble finding anything that I don't already know. So if anyone can share some links it would be appreciated.

What Audacity is that? Mine doesnt look anything like that

Great advice. Thank you for sharing.

Your experiment completely illustrated the importance of movement! I think it’s amazing that it comes through in the audio, even though you can’t see it!

thank you thank you!!

I am enjoying your tutorials. Can you explain the your breakdown of 3 weeks recording and 6 weeks of editing? I am just starting out and don't understand what 6 weeks of editing entails.

This was really helpful. I’m just starting out. I’ve heard that getting a good coach or good group coaching program is the best way to start. I have 10 years’ experience as an opera singer, but am just beginning to explore voiceover.

Great video as usual. What microphone are you using these days? Thanks.

So many ppl saying: "If u want to be serious about VO u should discard Audacity and use another softwares..." but honestly, in my experience i've tried to learn Reaper and at least for me at the moment is too complex, and I feel I'm slowing down my immersion to VO, so Im going to focus on Audacity again no matter what others say...

While Audacity is easier to learn (and free) once I got past the learning curve of Adobe-Audition, I feel it's WELL WORTH the $22 per month!

Hi there! This is a great tutorial - I was so overwhelmed by how many options there were in Audacity but you simplified it beautifully! One question I had is that when editing voice clips by deleting the parts I don't want, I always seem to notice a pop or crackle noise where the room tone meets the "later" room tone, if that makes sense. I've tried crossfading to no avail - sometimes the crackles even increase once I crossfade. I think it has something to do with what you said about needing the two sections to be at the 0.0 mark. Do you have tips for what I should do?
