Someone recently commented on one of my previous videos asking how to fix low noise floor in a project for ACX audiobooks. While the noise floor needs to be less than 60dB to meet ACX requirements, there cannot be silence in your recording. In this video I show you one way to raise your noise floor if it's too low to meet ACX standards using Audacity.
