Sample not accepted
Hello Bunnys,
in regard of my sample you replied:
"Hi - the quality of your submission does not meet our standards at this time.
Here are the issues found in your application:
The volume of your recording is too low.
As a VoiceBunny Pro, you must record using professional equipment in an acoustically treated space. Your performance needs to sound engaging and conversational. We also expect the recording to be properly edited, unprocessed, and ready-to-use."
This is very confusing as you required an unprocessed recording file.
In my understanding this is meant to be a total untreated file.
No comp, no denoising, no EQ, no limiting nor normalization.
And this is what I delivered. So of course the recording is quiet.
Interesting anyway that your team couldn't judge this file.
As note, I'm a professional speaker with a high end studio.
The technical chain was:
- Microtech Gefell UM92.1s - ADT ToolMod TM151 preamp - RME Babyface to iMac22 (Logic Pro X).
My recording room is accoustically optimized and meets all requirements for dead / dry sound.
I do all my audio books, audio plays, voice overs etc. here.
Please check my recordings on http://www.hoerstimme.de/referenzen/
All recorded in my studio.
I can do another clip of course but you should state more clearly what process
in the applications clip is allowed. At least normalization?
Best regards
Alex
EDIT:
Here is the rejected audition sample:

And the same one after normalization:

Would this meet your requirements?

Hi Alex
Thank you for sharing your file. Checking it, I see the recording has a critical level of hiss noise. This noise is very consistent so I believe it's coming from a piece of equipment you're using. Usually, external preamplifiers can add hiss noise as you're making the signal flow more complex. Would you mind trying plugging your mic directly to your interface? It would also be interesting to try with a different microphone. Do you, by any chance, have another one you can try and let us check the recording?
Let us know!
