Then tweak as necessary. Honestly, I didn’t worry about ACX’s instruction “Each uploaded file must measure between -23dB and -18dB RMS.” But as I said, I put a Limiter plug-in on the master track of -3.0db to follow their peak limit 8.I know this all sounds inexact, and it is, but it worked great for my audiobook, and I haven’t gotten a single comment from listeners about volume issues. That’s a volume output that tends towards the upper-mid-to-high end of green, extends into the yellow for peak moments, but never goes into the red (though your Compressor and your Limiter should eliminate that anyway). (Remember to use headphones, preferably good headphones, when tweaking values like this). I wish I could say there was a math to this, but I just did what sounded good. Chapter 1 Track – Compressorįor each chapter track, I turned on the Compressor, and tweaked the values.

I totally recommend playing around with them visually, but if you want the exact numbers, download the sample Garageband file, or use these:įrequency 92.0 Hz Slope 24dB/Oct Q: 0.20įrequency 160.0 Hz Gain +20.5 dB Q: 1.10įrequency 7000 Hz Gain +0.0 dB Q: 0.71 5. For the Chapter 1 Track, (and all chapters started with these settings), I wanted to add bass to fill out the sound, give it some gravity, take out a little of the middle, or leave it flat, to make it less “mushy,” and punch up the high end just a little to make sure it was crisp and not overly bassy. I changed the default EQ values as follows: (Note that if you start a new Garageband file to record your audiobook and choose “Voice” as the project type, it’ll give you lots of tracks/options to play with.) Okay, that was it for the Master Track settings (though you can also play with the master volume, but we’ll get to that in a minute). Garageband Limiter settings for Audiobook Master Track 4. So if you see something here that looks wonky or wrong, let me know and I’ll update/fix it, so you’re more prepared to record your own audiobook. I do have lots of experience recording voiceover and music, with professionals, but I’m the first one to say I don’t know everything, just enough to be dangerous, and for higher-end stuff I usually have other people at the controls.

Special note: I am NOT a professional sound editor. Here are some Garageband screen shots/descriptions showing the settings and the (built-in) plugins that I used. It’s got all my settings for a Master Track and a”Chapter 1″ track for your audiobook. Here’s a link to download a sample Garageband 10.1 file I thought this was a great idea, but since Garageband has a kind of loosey-goosey user interface without a lot of specific numerical settings, I decided to do two things: The post got a lot of positive response, and just the other day I got a request from Mark Clason for the actual settings I used in Garageband. Hi folks! A while ago I posted about recording an audiobook for my novel Where the Hell is Tesla? (I used Garageband for recording and exporting to ACX/).
