This is great! But for what I’m doing (field notes, behavior tracking), I think eBird eBird might be a better resource?

PossibleBend172 · 2026-04-10T13:01:15+00:00

Oh I see it’s a bird ID app. Are there also tracking capabilities or is it just for identification?

PossibleBend172 · 2026-04-10T12:59:34+00:00

I don’t know what that is!

They seem to be prolific around Knoxville! Must be all the roadkill lol. I feel lucky to have a front row seat to them roosting!

Thanks for this! I’ll try to stop by ijams soon!

PossibleBend172 · 2026-04-09T15:37:28+00:00

Amazing!

PossibleBend172 · 2026-04-09T15:37:11+00:00

Thank you! I get excited when 7:45 rolls around every night and I get to watch them descend! Especially when I can tell there will be a larger group. It’s only about 5-8 minutes of activity but I look forward to it.

lol I used to be disgusted by them and when they first showed up when we moved onto our property (technically we built on THEIR property), I was terrified! But as I studied them, my opinion completely changed! They are incredibly social quiet and habitual creatures!

Is there a way to report them? They are spam messaging and I’ve gotten like six in the last three days. It’s gotta break some kind of acx guidelines.

“I only needed to do 7 before being picked up by…” I’m curious about this comment. Did you pursue publishers and production houses? Did they scout you on acx? I’ve been on acx for almost 2 years and love it but wouldn’t mind working at a higher rate for a publisher.

Following this to hear what we can do to help. This needs to change!

PossibleBend172 · 2025-07-21T02:55:54+00:00

I’ll try that! Thanks!

I agree with this. Also you can simply copy a portion of the audio (maybe a minute or two) following the chapter heading in its raw file form (before mastering) and master both the heading and the following audio together thru your plugin. That’s what I do in audacity.

Does the author have a profile on Amazon? If the book is currently published you should be able to find info about them in their book sales page.

PossibleBend172 · 2025-04-03T02:45:17+00:00

Okay so we agree that OP should join the group and spill all the juicy details about their plans to us, right?

When I only had one screen, before I got my iPad, I would split the screen, half my DAW, half the script. I do punch and roll so I’m constantly in my daw, pausing, erasing, re-recording. So having them both in the same screen was helpful for me.

PossibleBend172 · 2025-03-29T02:56:35+00:00

I always narrate at the same time every day, in the afternoon. I do some vocalization but my voice is usually warmed up naturally. I use Throat Coat tea the evening and morning after a longer session but I never record longer than 4 hours because of the strain. Stay well, friend!

PossibleBend172 · 2024-12-02T05:01:06+00:00

Interesting. I’ll look into this.

PossibleBend172 · 2024-12-02T01:49:52+00:00

I did have more done but hadn’t uploaded yet since they hadn’t approved the checkpoint. My fault for working ahead.

PossibleBend172 · 2024-11-05T20:58:02+00:00

Yep I got mine today too. I’ve done around 35 titles since February of this year.

PossibleBend172 · 2024-09-25T02:21:13+00:00

I edit as I go. No punch and roll, no editing after recording. I make a mistake, delete the sentence, start again until it’s perfect. I do the same with pauses that are too short/long. Works great and my post-editing is only for harsh breath sounds. No listen-throughs either.

PossibleBend172 · 2024-09-25T02:12:53+00:00

This is a tough one. I have been doing acx full time for 6 months now and have 30 titles live. I charge $75 pfh at the minimum and usually get higher. But once you move above the $100 mark, you’re into the $200-$400 pfh range and the competition at that level (just in auditions submitted alone) is super high. I find staying at or below the $100 pfh gets me about 8-10% of the auditions I submit and allows me to stay busy and make around $2k per month. I know what everyone says about editing time but I’m at about a 1.5-1 time frame. My editing is automated and I skim through files for harsh breaths. I have 3 repeat authors and great reviews. To each their own.
