I just finished a voice recording of my book. I used my iPod nano with a Belkin TuneTalk in the quietest room in house and got a very good quality recording (it is stored as a voice memo in iTunes). I've put each short story (50 of them) as it's own file. I've started editing in GarageBand and it is quite easy to delete the mistakes and coughs and sneezes :-) The advice I need is about using other functions that might improve the quality for the listener. Should I be paying attention to mixing levels or master volume levels? EQ? any other functions? Anyone else even created an audio book? In the end, I'll need to turn it into an MP3 file for download on my website. I was planning to have a professional do that, but am wondering if I can do that myself. Thanks in advance for your advise.
