Audiobook Production Case Studies

Whether recorded in a professional booth or a home studio, every project follows a rigorous restoration, editing and mastering workflow to ensure it sounds its best on any device.

Below, you’ll find selected case studies demonstrating how I handle common challenges — from noise floor reduction to full ACX/Audible compliance (RMS between -23 dB and -18 dB; -3 dB Peak; -60 dB Noise Floor). Use the “Before/After” samples to hear how professional post-production elevates the listening experience.

It’s been a fairly challenging one… As the title suggests, the author/narrator has a pretty significant speaking issue, and well… I had to make the audiobook more listenable. Thank you, Dave, for this experience! It’s been a pleasure.
