The corporate training background music - on a video discussing and demonstrating recording subtleties - was a showstopper for me.

This gentleman deserves way more subscribers. Without him, I could never have gotten my audiobook up from start to finish and into ACX with 0 formatting issues. He's a brilliant teacher. Thanks dude!

Would be a great video if you weren't competing with that background music.

Working on my first audiobook with ACX and the requirements for final files really had me stumped. In the past, others have done the editing process for me, so I'm learning a new skill in having to edit my own files. Thank you for these easy to follow instructions on meeting those requirements—this was so helpful!

I am just starting out on ACX and know nothing about this software! This is the first video I’ve seen that described it in a way that made sense and didn’t have a bunch of extra software I had to download to get it to format right. Thank you!!!

[engelhorns]

I can't tell you how much this helped me understand the requirements for ACX. I have adobe audition and I followed along with each step and it worked out perfectly, thank you so much.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I'm submitting auditions now for ACX and would be drowning without you!

[maryro]

LOVED, LOVED LOVED THIS. Thank you for helping me. I'm not a prude I swear, just thought the music in your video could be a little lower while you're explaining.

[kmt]

Great and straightforward explanation and the way of presentation

[Cavatha]

dude, this is the best explanation on YT, keep up the good work.

[ToddDolce]

What a great tutorial! Straight to the point and no fluff in between! Funny thing though, my problem is the opposite with the noise floor. Mine is always waaaay too quiet. who could have guessed that would ever be a problem? I actually had to figure out how to raise the noise.

[DaGamingCats]
