Hey there, hero!
First, if you use Windows, you can safely ignore this podcast and continue to use The Levelator on your computer. This is super awesome for Mac users only. But...
If you're an audiobook narrator, or a podcaster, or anyone who needs compressed, limited processing of your sound, here's some great news:
The Levelator, previously only available as a 32-bit (read: old) application for Mac, is now available in the Mac App Store, updated to work with Catalina, the latest MacOS (and older MacOSes as well.), and I demonstrate installing it and using it in this episode.
Huzzah!! With Audacity and The Levelator both working on Catalina, I can officially say that our production stack is now usable on the latest Mac models!
I'd give it a few weeks to see if there are any last minute issues, but we're over the proverbial hump.
But...what of AudioCupcake? Is it still worth it for us to continue to develop it? Is it worth $20 for you to have a one-step drag and drop solution that outputs a file ready to upload to ACX or your podcast host without having to manually bring it back into Audacity, peak normalize it and export to MP3?
Let me know in the comments below, and do be honest - if it's not, tell me. If it is, I'd love to know your thoughts.

0022: Predict Your Future By Designing It, Then Creating It
REQUEST: Please join this video's conversation on VOHeroes.com, where the comments are moderated and civil: https://voheroes.com/predict-your-future-by-designing-it-then-creating-it/
Hey there, hero!
The times we're living in are not ones we would have expected or predicted. And we can chalk that up to external developments that we neither asked for nor engaged in.
But for some people, that notion of unpredictability applies to everything about their existence. It isn't just about external events, but everything that happens in their lives. They are more comfortable just "letting life happen" and hoping for the best.
I learned early on that I was not at all comfortable letting life just happen to me. And maybe, if you're not at ease with that, this podcast might give you some insight into two tools you can use to be more proactive about shaping your future, not just watching it unfold.
And speaking of shaping your future...you only have until tonight, Friday evening, June 5th at 9p PT, to decide to study with me in the 2020 ACX Master Class. Act now, as registration closes at 9p PT. Here's the link:

0024: Hands On Demo Of Pozotron + 6x Bigger Free Trial Link
REQUEST: Please join this video's conversation on VOHeroes.com, where the comments are moderated and civil: https://voheroes.com/hands-on-demo-of-pozotron-6x-bigger-free-trial-link/
Hey there, hero!
After telling my VOHeroes Pros and my students in the ACX Master Class about Pozotron during the last week (they get the inside skinny first, always), it's time to share with you.
Pozotron represents another leap forward in productivity when narrating audiobooks, cutting down your proofing and pickups by up to 95%. A bold prediction, but that's been my experience with it.
And in this podcast episode, I show you from my desktop, and with a current audiobook project I'm in the middle of, how stunningly beautiful it is and how amazingly inexpensive it is.
But nothing's less expensive than free, and the only thing that's better than free is 6 times the amount of free.
With the link below, I've negotiated not the normal 1 hour of free trial usage of Pozotron, but SIX hours of free usage, plus a new rollover pricing package that makes the paid version practically noise in your production budget. Enjoy (and act fast):
