Troubleshooting my clip
Hi,
Had a speedy that was rejected due to:
here is audible background noise (for example but not limited to mouse clicks, cars, people talking, squeaky chair, pages turning, etc) in your recording. Please ensure you record in an acoustically treated space or use an appropriate vocal booth.
Reviewing my sound clip, I hear some small tips and clicks, but really nothing major. Can someone take a listen and give me some tips on what this sounds like, and what I need to look out for next time?

Hi Rafael!
You can hear them clearly at the very start and end. Make sure you cut the regions well to minimize any undesired noises. Also, adding fade in/out and crossfades on every region will make everything sound much smoother and professional.
Best,
Juan.
Hey Juan,
Thank you.... I can hear a tad in the beginning, almost not at the end. I think my ear is not as sharp as the QA people at VB.
This latest sample was also rejected for me for room reverb/echo:

I think if anything, I can hear it on the first word and around :02-03, but I honestly don't really hear it on the rest of the clip. Can you help me pinpoint if the issue is throughout the whole clip, or just certain spots? I am trying to clarify the issues I am coming up against.
Thanks,
Rafael
Hi Rafael
I checked the file but it says it's not available anymore. Can you please reupload it?
Sorry,
here it is!

Hi Rafael
Thanks for sharing!
The file has a lot of room echo and background noises. When you're silent, you can even pick up movement in the back. This is more likely caused by inadequate acoustic treatment. Would you mind letting us know where do you record and how?
Hey,
OK, I guess your guys' ear is just sharper than mine at this point... Honestly I can hear a touch of room echo throughout but definitely not any background noises. Usually my files have been accepted lately by VB, but for now I will just make sure I double check my treatment and then circle back at this if it comes up again as an issue.
Thanks!
