3 rejected samples
Hi,
I have had a couple of rejected samples with the explanation:
Your sample sounds undesirably over-processed, that is impacting the quality. It may be due to a noise reduction plugin, an EQ, or a noise gate, for example.
* Your sample is heavily compressed and/or limited. It is affecting the dynamics and quality of the audio. Instead, please raise the volume via automation or normalization to -3dBFS peak.
The thing is,
- I have not used any processing (save some light EQ to manage resonant frequencies in my sound booth, and a low-cut filter).
- There is no compression or limiting.
- I use expensive high-end gear which has been used for some high-end clients who have been overly-happy with the sound.
- The mic is a Telefunken, tube-driven CU29, Copperhead microphone and the input is a UAD Apollo X6.
Here are the samples in question.

If I were to set a "Voice Bunny" filter to meet your approval each time, how would you recommend it be set?
Thank you

Hi,
Just a "poke" on this. I would love to start submitting samples again, and need to know what can be changed about my samples, given the information I have presented above.
Thank you. :)
Me again,
I have EQd a sample to try and match what I THINK you're looking for. If you find this acceptable I will apply it to my samples and begin uploading.

Hello Shawn
I believe all three samples that you've shared with us sound good. The file looks a bit compressed when you pay attention to the sound waves in the DAW, but it sounds good. I'll ask Sebastian if we can re-instate them.
Regarding the last file, I think the EQd sample sounds good as well. Those settings are a good match for your set up and your voice in my opinion.
Best,
Oscar
Hi,
All 3 samples have now been re-approved.
Thank you!
My concern moving forward, and this is said with all love (You all are great!!), I have often in the past been rejected for recordings like this, that have been approved after contacting you. **It's the inconsistency that worries me**. Also, it takes extra time for me, and thus for the client.
What can I do, how can I sound, to be sure I don't keep getting rejected?
Thanks,
Shawn
In general, make sure you're not using too much compression or a lot of processing. You shouldn't be getting a lot of revisions/rejections for quality. If you do, contact us with the specific project and we'll look into it (it will help us improve!).
Thanks
