    This was incredibly helpful. I'm trying to startup in audible narration and also podcasting with a friend and clean audio has been such a problem. An hour later downloading the plugins and following this and it's the best it's ever sounded. Thank you!

    Thank you! I greatly appreciate this video. I submitted a sample to ACX and had a couple of errors and RMS was one of them. Your video helped me get out of ACX jail. ;-) Nice job. I'm now a new subscriber.

    Applying the Amplify effect to the defective areas of the recording is just a brilliant idea. I was so upset when I heard the hum on the record and now I can just turn it off. Thanks

    I'm new to ACX and steadily becoming more educated about the different tools we can use to record. I tried to install the plug-ins and do macros with no success. The link did take me to an Audacity looking website and I saw the RMS Normalize Plugin but when downloading, it wanted to open up in a different app?! I don't know what that's about but maybe it's just my computer?! Otherwise, thanks for spending time with us on the video. It was informative. Thank you for pointing us in the direction of other RUclipsrs as well for more information.

    At the end when you export to MP3, do you need to check off '"Force export to mono?"

    @craigwoodall4014 3 года назад

    Thank you for doing this. Great content and vert informative...When you went through the noise reduction step you grabbed audio with sound...I thought that you did this with a "silent" portion...What is the difference in the two...( If you understand my question?) I am a fan and NOW new sub! Bravo!

      @robinmcgregor5125  3 года назад

      You will have to download them first, I have included the respective links in the video description. You will then have to install the plugin (nyquist plugin installer) then enable it.

    All plug-ins are good to go except Punch Copy/Paste. When I go to download those, my computer tells me they cannot be downloaded securely. Should I just bypass this warning? Has anyone else come across this?

    Some of the setting you speak too low and click too fast for us to see what U clicked on and don't say why. Also the plugin not explained.
