Audiobook Author is an audiobook mastering tool for authors and narrators who record themselves. It measures every chapter against the requirements of the shop you deliver to, like ACX for Audible, and shows exactly which rule fails and by how much. Then it fixes what can be fixed, converts to the delivery format and builds a chaptered M4B with cover and metadata.

  • Check chapters against ACX requirements

  • Fix levels, peaks and room tone

  • Convert chapters to the shop's MP3 format

  • Build a chaptered M4B audiobook

Audiobook Author features


Shop check per chapter

Level (RMS or LUFS), peaks, noise floor, room tone, sample rate, channels and file length, with a status light per chapter.


Auto-fix

Sets the level, keeps peaks under the ceiling with a look-ahead limiter and pads room tone from your own recording.


Honest about limits

What can't really be fixed, like a noisy room, is named, not hidden. Your originals are never changed.


Ready to deliver

MP3 at the shop's settings, a chaptered M4B with cover and metadata, and retail samples.


Cover check

Size, square format, file type and color space, before you upload.


Private

Everything happens on your Mac: no account, no upload, no tracking.
