Which mics were used on your voice, in the radio and TV recordings that benefited from the compression and presumedly rendered good results for broadcast, that you mentioned? Dale

I can't access your clip. Dale

When I started VO recording, I used Audacity (decent), for a short time. About 9 years ago, I bought Reaper and have not looked back since that time. It has never failed me. Dale

Yep- it's not sexiest form of VO work and a low RoI. But then again, I am no Don LaFontaine, although I have tried to play him on occasion.

Geoffrey' "Best" is a subjective term. I am inferring that you are just starting out, in the audiobook recording realm. Until you get your feet wet, I would suggest giving Audacity (it is free) a try. It will let you learn the basics of recording and editing, while providing enough tools to...

Sega, Although the 528 pre is solid and quiet for my condensor mics, it max-s out at 60dB of gain; and like CoolCat mentioned with his, it lets me back the 528’s gain down to 30-45%. I chose the CL1, again like CoolCat, ease of access. I do use an interface... the Audient iD22. That model has a...

Talis...., You and I sound a lot alike. I bet I still have my old Radio Shack TRS 8088, on the shelf down at the shop. I recall spending close to $1000 for it, the RGB "color" monitor, and a dot-matrix tractor-feed printer. Oh my- old days of DOS shell and commands. Good experience, but I...

Talis... Good catch. I got on a .com-kick. However, it is Libr"I"vox.org So- between the two of us, we got him to the right place. :thumbs up: LibriVox | free public domain audiobooks Dale

Mika, He has probably moved on from trying to overclock his Pentium 3-450, by now. Dale

Sega, I currently use the CL1 with my Symetrix 528e, whenever I use my SM7B or RE-20. I had the older 286A, as my old rig. However, it is not in my current audio chain. Dale

I didn't listen to your audio. However, if you are interested in giving audiobook recording a try, Librivox.com is a place for volunteers to record books that are in the public domain, to be put on Archive.org. That would be a place that you can test your audiobook recording chops. Dale

ACX is stringent with its specs: "Each file must measure between -23dB and -18dB RMS. Each file must have peak values no higher than -3dB. Each file must have a noise floor no higher than -60dB RMS. Each file must be 192kbps or higher 44.1kHz MP3, Constant Bit Rate (CBR), Mono." Their algorithm...

Sitler, Recording the audio is just the start. Are you planning to do your editing on the iPAD? I cannot imagine trying to edit them on an iPAD. You may want to consider a laptop or PC, for the tedious work of editing. Not trying to shoot down your idea.... just sharing some experience and...

Mick, I purchased an app for my iPad that is pretty impressive TelePrompTer. I have never tried it while singing, but I have used it a lot for VO recording. The app is Prompt Smart Pro. Here is a long-winded demo. What would have been cool to show, is when he stops reading from the...

I pulled up my old VC3Q manual and it says "An external 12V AC power supply provides the power for the unit. Circuitry inside the VC3Q converts the 12V AC into 14.5-0-14.5V and a 48V DC supply for the phantom power. Power rating is 5 watts." Watts / Volts = Amps, 5 watts / 12 volts = .416 amp...

I found that way key. I was able to source some wall warts from Radio Shack, back when they were in business.

That ad caught my eye because I have an old VC3Q that I bought many years ago, on C/L, and sent to Ted Fletcher for repair. Long story short: either Seeker of Rock or moresound, on this board, put me on to Ted Fletcher's forum. I contacted him and he said send it to him. He repaired it...

CoolCat, Coincidentally, I saw an exact same unit, same price, pop up on DFW Craigslist. You north of the Metromess? Dale

Right Click the track.. Item Settings/ Item Notes in the drop-down. Once you hit OKAY, you will see a Green Marker in the top left corner of the Track Lane.

There are many good troubleshooting rabbits-to-chase offered up in this thread. One more that I might add is: are you plugging in to a USB3 port or USB2.0? Not knowing how old your 2i2 is and you said your Edirol was old, I know I have experienced some of my older bus-powered gear does not play...
