"You were more than coaches. You were father figures when my own father chose the bottle over me. You taught me discipline, grit, and how to keep showing up—on the field and in life. You showed me that the team is bigger than the individual, that ego has no place in the locker room or in leadership. That mindset shaped how I approach business, relationships, and growth. You taught me to seek knowledge, to value other perspectives, and to look at life through someone else’s lens. You gave me structure when I was lost—and those lessons echo in everything I do."

When submitting audiobooks to ACX, it's crucial to ensure your audio files meet their technical requirements for encoding, peak levels, and RMS levels. Proper mastering is key to delivering a high-quality listening experience for your audience.
Learn more about these topics in the ACX blog and ACX University videos.
Audio sound must be consistent: Your audiobook should be consistent in sound and formatting. This includes audio levels, tone, noise level, spacing, and pronunciation. Consistent audio makes for a better listening experience and can lead to good reviews and better sales.
There are no extra sounds: Make sure each file is free of extra sounds like plosives, microphone pops, mouse clicks, excessive mouth noise, and outtakes. These sounds distract listeners and can lead to bad reviews.
Files are in either mono or stereo: All files must be in the same channel format (all mono or all stereo). Mixed formats will cause errors.
Volume is between -23dB and -18dB RMS: Each file needs to fall between the specific volume range of -23dB and -18dB RMS for consistent volume.
Root Mean Square (RMS) is a way to measure the average value of an audio signal. By keeping all files within this range, listeners won't have to constantly adjust the volume of their playback device. Visit Mastering Audiobooks with Alex the Audio Scientist to learn more.
Peak levels are less than -3dB: Each file must have peak values no higher than -3dB to avoid distortion. By leaving this headroom you'll reduce the possibility of distortion, which can seriously reduce the quality of the listening experience. This headroom is also needed to ensure the files are successfully encoded.

Noise floor is less than -60dB RMS: Each file must have a noise floor no higher than -60dB RMS to avoid background noise distractions.
Keep room tone less than 5 seconds: We recommend between 1 and 5 seconds of room tone at the beginning and end of each file for an ideal listening experience. Room tone spacing must not exceed 5 seconds.
