It includes technical tricks I’ve come across, refinements for voiceover workflow, and insights gained as a working voice actor and VO technical audio consultant. All which makes 2nd Opinion a much better tool for efficient workflow.Įach week, I send a “Tuesday Tech Tip” to my email community. Additionally, you can have it check the complete “batch” of your audio files – all the chapters at once rather than uploading the audio one file at a time. With TwistedWave, you never have to wait for the end of a long computation. 2nd Opinion also gives more information, allowing you to confirm the noise floor, as well as header/tail length. Unless I’m missing something, AudioLab does nothing you can’t already check with a decent analysis tool (in Twisted Wave or RX, for example), or confirm even more comprehensively using 2nd Opinion by Steven Jay Cohen. You must download the generated Excel spreadsheet to read the actual results. If I had not downloaded the spreadsheet and read the numbers (which did match my Twisted Wave “Analyze” values), I might have wrongly assumed everything was OK. While uploading poorer and poorer samples through the page, I noticed the automated response continued to give positive confirmations – even when my Peaks were in the -1 dB range and the RMS sat at -16 dB (too high and too loud), it kept stating “No issues found”…The only error message it provided occurred when I uploaded a WAV file by mistake. (Quick question to those of you who have produced multiple books through ACX – have you ever received feedback or suggestions from ACX regarding the quality of your sound – specifically EQ settings? – and if you have, would you please let me know?) I uploaded several samples with purposely bad sound and received no feedback to that effect. However, this did not seem to be the case. (EQ – or Equalization – would be frequency filtering to correct and balance how the audio sounds). I also encountered a FB group post in which someone stated that AudioLab had given them specific EQ corrections on their audio. It packs a dozen of VST effects like Freeverb, Ambience, Delay, Detune, Envelope, Piano, RezFilter, RingMod, Stereo, SubBass, Vocoder and much more, sound effects such as Amplify, Normalize, Fade In and Out, Silence, Reverse, In. You can check the specs for your audio before final upload on a project page. TwistedWave is an online sound file editor that has a simple and easy to use UI where users can edit their tracks, Soundcloud and Google Drive files and recordings. The report can be compared against ACX submission standards for RMS, Peak, Output Bitrate, Constant Bitrate Encoding and Sample Rate. Once you do that, it provides an automated report which you can then download and view. In some cases, it seemed to provide a misleading response about the quality of submitted audio.ĪudioLab is a page on the ACX site where you can upload an MP3 of your recording. It’s not clear that AudioLab does anything you aren’t already doing with your audiobook workflow. The result: I’m unsure of what they are trying to do. I played with AudioLab over last weekend. They promote it as a tool to check audio quality against ACX delivery spec. ACX (Audiobook Creation Exchange) recently announced their “AudioLab” service. ![]()
