This has the best information of all in the Audacity to ACX videos!
ACX University: Setting Up Audacity: Part 4, Lesson 3
In Audacity, record in MONO, not stereo. Or save as Reduce to MONO.
Split screen for Audacity on left and book script on right, or for Audicity on lower screen and book script on upper screen.
Record narration. When you make a mistake, st -
Blog post"So what is The Levelator®? It's software that runs on Windows, OS X (universal binary), or Linux (Ubuntu) that adjusts the audio levels within your podcast or other audio file for variations from one speaker to the next, for example. It's not a compressor, normalizer or limiter although it contains all three. It's much more than those tools, and it's much simpler to use. The UI is dirt-simple: Drag-and-drop any WAV or AIFF file onto The Leveler's application window, and a few

Blog postThe opening screen in Audacity was rather intimidating. When watching videos from ACX University, or any other video on YouTube that explained Audacity, I soon began to see the screen as a digital recorder with controls similar to the old cassette players I owned "back in the day." ACX says that There are all those terms and numbers that I didn't (and still don't quite) understand. My new friend, Wayne Hughes, understands, though.
kbps = kilobit per second

Blog postThere is always a "learning curve," but this was more of a "learning curl!"
For example: 192 kbps, mp3, bit rate at 44.1 kHz, -23 dB and -18 dB RMS, -3dB peak, and -60 dB noise floor. It all looked like the combination to a secret safe or the password for entrance into an important government facility.
Consequently, my first attempt at recording my narration, of the first book in The Story of Glops series, was an unacceptable flop. That dimmed my -
Blog postMy husband, Glenn, calls it my hideout, because it reminds him of his boyhood hideout made with blankets and quilts over a card table.
Attempt one: Using the entire spare bedroom as a "recording studio" failed. I used quilts, a matress pad, a bedspread, and sheets on all hard surfaces. I added an old egg-crate mattress around my laptop and Blue Yeti USB microphone. That did not deaden enough extraneous sounds. Plus, the room could not function in any other manner -
Blog postNo solution yet.
I am moving on to the next project, which is making audiobooks. -

Blog postI have tried several times to get this blog to appear on Author Central, also. I even re-entered each separate blog, here, for Amazon to recoginze. Even though the pop-up said the blog was connected to Author Central, it has not shown up. Of course, I have to wait a day or more to know if the most recent attempt works. It is not a matter of "drag and drop" or "copy and paste." If it were, I would do that.
I will keep working on it. In the meantime, doe -
Blog postBalaam: The Story of Glops, Short Story 5a is ready for you and anyone else who wants a FREE copy.
This is the back-cover blurb:
“How can I get rid of these people before they start a war?” King Balak asked himself. He was talking about the Israelites.
God’s people rested in the country of Moab after forty years of wandering. They had won many battles against other nations. Balak, the king of Moab and Midian, hired the proph -

Blog postIt has taken two years, but I have finally learned a few "key" steps to get better rankings on Amazon. This is important to me, because all my books are sold on Amazon.
When people talked about "algorithms" on Amazon, I had no idea what they meant. Wikipedia says, "An algorithm is a finite list of instructions, most often used in solving problems or performing tasks."
I was still puzzled. When I learned that a recipe was an example of -
Blog postGod said, "Go on. Don't quit.
Your work is not in vain.
I'll always go with you
To strengthen and sustain."
I said, "God, I'm convinced
That I don't walk alone,
But some days I give up;
I lack courage to go on."
God said, "Get up. Don't quit.
Remember I love you;
Victory is just ahead.
Go on. I'll see you through."
