step  1)    The narrator will record their book then upload their raw mono wav file/
                  punch & roll chapters to a  shared  folder in Dropbox or Google Drive.  
                  WeTransfer is another option. 
                 The narrator can upload their book all at once or upload after each
                  recording session  chapter by chapter.
 

step  2)    I'll begin the proofing process.

        I'll listen to your audio while following the pdf script noting any mistakes on a spreadsheet.

 

step  3)   Once that is complete, I'll send the narrator a CRX (corrections) pack which includes:
 

 a)    spreadsheet (xlsx file)

 b)    marked up pdf

 c)    audio reference mp3
 

step  4)   The narrator will record their pickups then send me one wav file containing all the pickups  

       with each pickup separated by 1-2 seconds.
 

step  5)   I'll insert the pickups into the existing audio.

       At this point the narrator is done but sometimes I do hear additional words/phrases that
       may need to be re-recorded as I go through the editing process.

       

step  6)   I edit (cleanup) the audio removing unwanted breath sounds, stomach growls, plosives,                              sibilance, nose farts, adjust timing if necessary and adjust room tone/noise floor.
 

step  7)   Mastering: I'll bring your audio up to ACX specs or specs defined by another publisher.

       I'll make sure all chapters are consistent to ACX audio stands.

       I'll rename then upload the final mastered  mp3s  for you to download to your computer.
       You can then upload to ACX or  to an outside publisher.

 

step  8)   I'll e-mail you an invoice.
               I accept Venmo, Paypal (you'll need to add 3% to cover Paypal processing fees) , Zelle or check.
