Group all similar files together during the assessment so they can be processed at the same time.Īpply your “Mastering Chain” by using the following processes, in order: If it is simply passing the first level check, then yes, I’m good to go (yes KOZ it also sounds good).Īssess all audio files to ensure no peaks or clipping exist in the audio.Ī good recording and careful editing are both necessary to achieve this. Additionally, removing unwanted high and low frequencies can help reduce any hum or hiss that may be in a recording. All chapters/sections are brought up to matching levels, which provides a smooth listening experience. Why do I need to master my audiobook productions?Ī: Mastering is the the final step of post-production and the glue that brings the entire audiobook together. This is what the ACX blog says about mastering Perhaps my understanding of what ACX means by mastering is off point, BUT In years gone by I always had Sterling Sound master my final mix, unfortunately I can’t afford the excessive cost of that service as I am a retired guy on a fixed income, trying to establish myself in auidio books. If you listen to a final mix and then compare it to the mastered version, you should hear a difference, often a rather large difference, more dynamic, greater presence etc. The question is regarding mastering, in my world mastering is the last step after mixing, EQ, effects, etc. Eventually, they’ll get the actual algorithm working… I just read a business magazine story about “ fully automated and algorithmic personal digital assistants” which are actually a bunch of badly overworked humans in a barn somewhere working their butt off over killer hours. If LANDR has any kind of success, it will immediately sink under the waves of billions of people trying to submit at once. ACX has a failure they call “overprocessing.” That happens right after their automated robot looks at the simple quality numbers and passes the submission on to a human. What you can’t do is “clean up” a ratty submission without it sounding like a bad cellphone call (incidentally, why cellphone calls sound like they do). If you’ve been following the discussions, you know that anyone can brutally force a submission into ACX compliance, and it’s even possible to semi-automate it. LANDR support says they are on the problem, but not having a phone number I can’t talk to a real person.

It can be really painful if your background noise isn’t plain pink noise FFFFFFFFFF.Īre you using ACX-Check, the Audacity audiobook verification tool? Meters in at -57db, so noise floor is OK.ĪCX Noise Floor is -60 and it can be a serious juggling act to get all three to hit at the same time.
