Sorry if this is a daft question, I am new to home recording and need to submit my audio via specific guidelines. I'm trying to get into audiobook production. I have a strong theatrical background but i don't know much about mastering audio so this has been challenging...
In the raw file, the levels were primarily in green, occasionally in yellow.
I used "match volume" to get my RMS to a certain level. Then I used a limiter to set to -3 db.
Now the file goes into the red. According to Amplitude statistics. there are 0 "possibly clipped samples" so why then do the levels keep going into Red? I thought that was indicative of clipping?
That's my first question, my second is does anyone know of any basic audio mastering classes for voiceover using Adobe Audition? Less about how to edit audio, more about anatomy of audio files and the meaning of each of these parameters and how they relate to one another.
