I’m recording an erotic-style audiobook on a Shure MV6 in a fairly dead bedroom corner, yet faint street rumble still creeps in and my louder passages hit the reds. I currently use Audacity to record but want to migrate and am willing to learn Reaper because as I know, it is best for long form audiobook narration. I need you to build a complete, plug-and-play Reaper FX chain that will let my narration sit deep and resonant, stay warm and clear, and eliminate outside noise without thinning the tone. I currently use a custom tune in steelseries gg that I have been recording this audiobook with so far, so I would prefer to be able to have profiles able to activate when needed. Here’s what matters most to me: • Keep the “deep and resonant” character front-and-center. • Soften harsh “s” sounds and rein-in plosives (“p d t b”) while preserving healthy low-end weight. • Control peaks so I can lean into intimate passages without clipping or audible pumping. • I need to be able to get energetic in a scene without it peaking or being to loud but also need to be able to get quiet and whisper with it still picking everything up. • Eliminate background noise, specifically my magnetic dog door when it swings. I am familiar with something like a de-esser, but I’d like the full chain—from high-pass choices and multiband compression to limiting—ready to drop into Reaper and go. Deliverables 1. A Reaper .RfxChain file optimised for the Shure MV6 in a small, treated room. 2. A concise rundown of each module, the reasoning behind its placement, and advice on minor tweaks if I change rooms or mic distance. 3. Quick tips for gain-staging so I can keep healthy headroom all the way to mastering.

Hi! I am Michell Moreno, a Sound Engineer and Master’s candidate in Sound Arts (UNTREF). I specialize in vocal architecture for long-form narration, specifically in Reaper. Erotic audiobooks require a unique balance: you need that "at-your-ear" intimacy without the distraction of plosives or background rumble. I will build you a professional, plug-and-play Reaper .RfxChain specifically calibrated for your Shure MV6. What my custom chain delivers: Deep Resonance: Surgical EQ and multiband compression to enhance "low-end weight" while keeping the tone warm and natural. Dynamic Control: A dual-stage setup designed to capture every whisper while transparently taming louder passages without clipping or pumping. Surgical Cleaning: Precision expansion gate to eliminate street rumble and the magnetic dog door noise without "choking" your voice. Proximity Control: Tailored de-esser and high-pass strategy to rein in sibilance while maintaining an intimate character. Deliverables: Custom .RfxChain file ready to drop into Reaper. Concise Guide explaining each module and how to adjust them if you change mic distance. Gain-Staging Tips to ensure perfect levels before the plugins. I am ready to start immediately. Best regards, Michell Moreno

Hi! I’d love to help polish your audiobook narration with full mix and mastering—not just an FX chain. I understand you need clean, noise-free audio with a deep, warm tone, controlled peaks, and consistency across both quiet and intense passages. I focus on detailed vocal mixing, noise reduction, and natural dynamics in Ableton to deliver a professional, ready-to-publish result. I’d be happy to do a short test mix so you can hear the quality, would you like to send a sample? Also, how long is the full audiobook?

The way I'd prefer to go about doing this is to collaborate live via Parsec, so it can be built to your exact mic'ing conditions and gain settings, though I'll obviously have a quick-adjust for matching input gain should you change it. But yeah, it gets tricky trying to deterministically normalize different angles and distances between speaker and mic. There is a neat (and free) AI solution called Matchering which can help maintain consistency in frequency response once you have the levels balanced between differently-mic'd clips. I use REAPER daily. You won't regret the switch once you get comfortable. Simple dynamics curve can be used to filter out noise leaking in almost entirely, though we can look at more robust noise filters depending on your situation.

Hi, I'm a sound engineer with 8+ years of professional audio production, including dialogue editing and supervision on localized AAA titles like God of War and The Last of Us Part II — work that demanded technically precise, voice-focused processing. I'll deliver a complete Reaper .RfxChain with filters, dynamic and frequency processors so that you can move dynamically without pumping or clipping. You'll also get a written breakdown of every plug-in and gain-staging guidance so you stay in control regardless of mic distance or room. One thing I'll need before building the chain: a short 10–15 second recording of you speaking at your normal narration level, then pushing into one of your louder passages. No editing needed, raw is fine. This lets me calibrate the entire chain to your specific voice, room, and microphone rather than building to generic MV6 specs that may or may not match your actual environment. I'm bidding at the lower end because I'm new to Freelancer and don't have platform reviews yet — not because of a lack of experience in this area. Looking forward to your response, Stelios
