elk Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 You can use the Amplify, under the Levels menu > click Amplify > use the Gain controls to set dB you need > click Apply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Estes Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I had this issue, also. I only see ONE place to set the gain. So how does one put in the TWO levels (low and high)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seamonstar Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 Thanks for posting this question Jack! I would really appreciate an answer to this too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Estes Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I'm thinking now that the program wants ANY dB number BETWEEN -18 and -23 dB RMS. I was looking to have a high and a low. I think now that they didn't want that. I've resubmitted my audio file at -20dB. Waiting to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seamonstar Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Are you doing audiobooks Jack? We must be living in a parallel universe if you are as I've just submitted my latest at -20dB too! Fingers crossed I get the green light on Monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Estes Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Yes. Just finishing up my second. Not sure what I did, but my first one was accepted right away. It's all kind of mysterious to me. I'm working with Authors Republic, and they seem to be quite patient (so far). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seamonstar Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 Cool! I'm working with them too! I had that last test rejected yesterday so I've downloaded Audacity, as they suggested, and have finally got the levels between -18 and -23. This is my 30th submission so I too was really mystified by the rejections... The lady from AR was really helpful, said that Audible were coming down and not accepting anything outside their requirements - maybe they're being inundated with audiobooks and need to clamp down.. who knows .. Anyway great chatting and all the best with your audiobook business! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at Audacity in order to get a better idea of what to do, but I didn't download it. I'd love to know how you did that transfer. And what did Audacity have that WavePad didn't have? I got my file to -29 dB, but haven't lowered it below that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seamonstar Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 I downloaded it from this link: Download | Audacity ® (audacityteam.org) Once it's downloaded you drag each file into the window - I did it individually - you click Effect then Amplify on the dropdown. Once you've done that you go to the dropdown where Analyze is and click the measure button - it'll tell you how high the peak is. Then just save it as normal to where ever you want it. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Estes Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 This seems simple as you describe it but I keep getting off track somehow. Can't find the window you refer to into which you drag your files. I'll keep working on it. Thanks. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
