How To Record, Edit and Export Your Audiobook in Adobe Audition For ACX and Findaway Voices!

[@Ali_Saracen]

Im not ready to make this step but this video has been very insightful. Thankyou

[@VarsityMedia]

Great job Becca! That really answered the questions I had as I'm about to begin recording books for clients! Exciting stuff!

[@createscifi]

I used your video about how to format my book with InDesign, and it was spot on. Very clear and helped me to complete the formatting of my book with zero issues. Now I'm ready to do my audiobook, and while I was searching for a video online, I had to pause. I thought, "If Becca C. Smith has made a video about recording an audiobook, I am going to be thrilled." You did! And I am! Thank you for such excellent instruction and for sharing.

Best video tutorial on using Audition for Audio Books! You are awesome! Thanks so much!!!!!

[@TomMcHale]

That was great - thank you! Right to the point and very easy to follow!

[@peter-sjoquist]

Thanks Becca! This is by far the best tutorial on this topic I have seen so far. You explain really good and in a way that's easy to follow. Apart from that you are effective and avoid the kind of, let's call it mansplaining, with to much bla-bla. You get to the point and I will use this right away. Thanks :)

[@KPerry-jb2kd]

I got super overwhelemed with the other videos I found, This was straight forward and to the point, Great job, thank you for your time.

[@BeccaCSmith]

Thank you so much! I’m so happy it helped!

[@battleaxeish]

What an angel you are! Thank you so much for this, it took an age cos I had to write it all down, I'll never remember it all otherwise!

[@jenag]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I kept getting overwhelmed when doing research about this. You've made it so simple and approachable. Excited to get started!

[@BeccaCSmith]

Yayyyy!! I hope it helps! I was lucky I had my cousin to guide me through when I first started because I was so overwhelmed too!! Honestly though, once you get going it gets easier and easier!

[@EmilyOlivieri]

Becca, stop making me feel like I can do my own audiobook 🙈🙈🙈

[@BeccaCSmith]

Hahahahaha! You can do it!!!!

[@TheAuthorOfThisLife]

Great video, you’ve got a good voice. I learned pretty much what I needed to know.

[@Michaelwhodatnz]

Great video, and the perfect level of detail to be informative, but digestible. Good practical advice to get the techy stuff sorted and record and publish audio. Job done!

[@MeLoSonn]

This is an awesome video by an awesome person! Thank you for this video. I know exactly what I need to do when I read my book before submission. Thanks again and all the best to you and yours!

[@CosmicLightOrchestra]

❤ I love your videos! Bless you, dear Becca! Best wishes and kindest regards, Andrew

[@KateCavanaugh]

AHHHH BECCA! Thank you so much for this! This tutorial is SO helpful and especially the tips along the way. (Like trying to aim for 1-2 seconds before/after chapters even if they say that you can do more. Definitely sticking with lucky number two bahaha.) Also your hoodie/onesie!? Amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Can't wait to revisit this soon and try it myself!

[@NotAnnaJones]

If you are only recording one track in the multi-track, why don't you make the file as a single audio file instead of a multitrack?

[@wordcharm2649]

This is fantastic. Thank you for sharing, Becca.

[@BeccaCSmith]

Thank you soooo much!! 🥰

[@DougMotel]

This was super helpful! But for some reason, I am only able to change the effects of one clip at a time even though I have highlighted them all...

[@AlyssaFoster7]

How do I remove the hum from my microphone before recording?

[@EpicFantasyLitRPGAudiobook]

Great tutorial, short and sweet but covers alot

[@Themajesticnessa]

When I export it I can’t hear anything on my computer

[@JillFugazioMusic-ve1pg]

What's a pre-amp

[@NotAnnaJones]

Thank you!!! I followed your entire video!!

[@BeccaCSmith]

Yayyyy!! I’m so happy it helped!!

[@LectioMundi]

You are A QUEEN! Thank you so much!

[@cee8974]

Thank you so much for this!

[@eri7-11]

Thank you! You don't need to EQ the voice?

[@AndyandDesmond]

So very useful - thank you!

[@bookvideos]

This was AMAZING!!! Thank you!!!

[@cavenoid]

You mentioned a video where you can avoid making mouth sounds in recording?

[@MfstudioDe]

isn't it a problem recording with 48khz and exporting in 44,1khz? (in the micsettings there was 48khz mentioned 1:56)

[@markgammie4667]

Super helpful, thanks

[@kristenhobbs6676]

thank you! this is amazing!!

[@MistyMess]

Thanks for a great video. How long would it typically take you to record an entire book?

[@BeccaCSmith]

Thank you!!! And for me, with a book around 80k words, it takes about 20 days. I try to record around 15-20 pages a day. That’s usually an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening, sometimes more, but that’s about the average for me 🥰

[@erikpeterson4873]

How did you get the preview audio to play before recording again?

[@DJAlone]

where is that video of removing plosives and mouth noises?

[@anushkakapp5259]

I would love to see this as well. You make it look sk easy Becca

[@nicarnerd9820]

Kind of confusing in the Target Loudness section. You say -7 but the graphic reads -17

[@BeccaCSmith]

That’s why I put in the graphic because I mis-spoke 😊 It’s-17

[@itsjuliannajo]

How do you control your recording without the computer being in your booth?

[@BeccaCSmith]

I have my laptop connected to a mouse, keyboard and monitor 😊

[@kristinamarieasl]

I need some help!! Would your cousin be able to help me?

[@MadrexYT]

Masterclass course when?

[@Gnosis2078]

RECORD LEVEL BETWEEN -12 AND -18? ACX site says -18 and -23... -12 would fail ACX wouldn't it?

[@elliottspence]

-23dB and -18dB is in reference to the RMS. Not the vocal recording range.
