My lovely and quite bright wife once said: Never had one bounced back to me.ĭAWs are like computers. I mainly apply light noise reduction, hard limit to -6db and make sure the 'mandatory' half-second leader space, 1.5 seconds after chapter title, and 3.5 seconds are at the end.Īnd I get rid of pops and clicks. Location: Looking out at the San Juan mountainsĪnd like George said, they're not that picky. No, you can't multitrack, punch n roll, or do spectral display of waves. Yes you can measure noise floor, RMS, peak, all that stuff. TwistedWave is like SoundForge for the Mac before there was a SF for Mac, and it's better than SF for Mac. It can't happen if you don't at least try. Ditto for me with Audible/ACX-never an issue with my books. Perfect for audiobook recording.and as George says editing is a breeze. The apps that go with allow me to edit my books when I am out and about through my iPhone. OUTSTANDING service from the developer and it's only $80. At least so they told us at a seminar they held the day after APAC last year. The entire company has standardized on it. Sound Forge is the program all of the editors at Audible use. Roll n Punch with Reaper is awesome (no headphones required), but I've never edited with it.Ĭan you analyze noise floor and total RMS in TW? Audacity "mastering" tools are too clunky, slow workflow. Pro Tools 11 could be equally as efficient with proficiency, thanks to offline bounce. Don't over think the mastering, they (Audible/ACX) aren't actually that picky. Editing is VERY fast, Mastering even faster. Thanks for the plug, Bruce! I used TwistedWave for every book I've worked on in post. I'm seeing a trend (not just here) that most audiobook peeps edit/master in either Adobe Audition or Soundforge. I record in Pro Tools 9 and edit in Sound Forge 10. They opened your eyes to the good things you weren't paying attention to before. Why you use the DAW you like is.īe thankful for the bad things in life. Why someone uses a particular DAW is of no consequence. The real truth is the DAW you use for editing is the one you are most familiar with and are comfortable using. (I just threw that in for free, even though I know you didn't want to know.) Has a new feature or two I like, but I am really more comfortable with interface of 2.0 or 3.0. Location: Vernon now calls Wisconsin homeĬurrently using the Creative Cloud (Version 6?). I'm not a Zoo, but over the years I've played one on radio/TV. I paid for and watched George's lesson on how to master using Twisted Wave, bought the software, and have been using it, following his directions closely, and Audible's been happy with every book I've submitted. However it doesn't have quite the features I thought I needed to master audiobooks. I use MOTU's Audio Desk to record and edit, mostly because it came for free with the first MOTU interface I bought over a decade ago. This is not a debate.I don't care which one is "best," and I don't need to know why you use it. I'm just curious what you use (if you are in fact editing and mastering audiobooks and long form stuff). I was asked to put some content together and am comparing DAWs for the purpose of editing/mastering audiobooks. Ok.let me start out by saying I really don't care WHY anyone uses any particular DAW.
