For example, most digital audio workstations (DAW’s) will output files by default, and each of your audiobook’s WAV files may end up being several hundred megabytes in size.
What is encoding? It’s the process of converting your uncompressed audio files into a format more suitable for certain applications.
But overlooking this step could block the file from successfully uploading, or cause the files to be rejected during our Quality Assurance check. After spending hours producing an audiobook – from recording, to proofing, editing, and mastering – it can be easy to forget to tick the right check boxes and configure the necessary settings in your encoding software. I’m addressing this now because we’ve recently added a helpful audio encoding guide to ACX, and I want to make sure producers understand the concept and can use it to create audio that will meet our encoding requirements.Īs the last step in the audiobook production process, audio encoding tends to get overlooked, and it’s easy to understand why. Today I want to talk about one of the nerdiest aspects of audiobook production: your audio files.
For his inaugural post, Andrew takes a look at the process of encoding your audio and introduces a new resource to aid in your productions. Our resident audio scientist will be stopping by occasionally to tackle a different technical aspect of audiobook production. Today, we’re debuting a new blog feature from the ACX Audio Team.
