Rejected by ACX?
Fixed in minutes.

Run the same technical checks Audible’s ACX runs against your finished audiobook — free, on your whole book. If anything fails, one click fixes every file and re-verifies it, ready to resubmit.

How it works

Three steps between you and a clean submission

1

Upload your book

Create a free account and drop in every chapter at once — the same MP3s you’d hand to ACX.

2

Read the free report

Every file, every check, measured values against the required spec — failures first, so you see exactly why a book bounces.

3

One click fixes the lot

£19 per audio-hour of failing audio — clean chapters cost nothing — every broken file corrected, re-analysed and handed back with a passing report.

The report

Every check, against the numbers ACX requires

Ten measurements on every file in your book, then whole-book rules on top. This is the exact list the tool runs — nothing hidden. Here’s what a report looks like:

RMS loudness (overall)
required: -23 to -18 dB
Peak level
required: ≤ -3 dB
Noise floor
quietest 500 ms — required: ≤ -60 dB RMS
Bit rate
required: ≥ 192 kbps
Bit rate mode
required: constant (CBR), not VBR
Sample rate
required: 44.1 kHz
File length
required: ≤ 120 minutes per file
Room tone at head
required: 0.5 – 1 s before the read
Room tone at tail
required: 1 – 5 s after the read
Channel format — whole book
every chapter mono, or every chapter stereo — never a mix
Pauses over 5 seconds
flagged with exact timestamps (mm:ss)
The honest bit
Pauses over 5 seconds are pace edits — a human decision about your performance, so we flag them with timestamps but never auto-cut them. Tighten those in your editor, re-run the free check, and the fix handles the rest.
Fix my book

One click. Every failing file corrected and proven.

The fix runs one processing chain and one encode per file — no quality-degrading stacking — then re-analyses its own output. You download from a passing report, not a promise. Files that already pass are left completely untouched.

  • Room tone set to spec at head and tail — padded or trimmed
  • Loudness brought into ACX’s RMS window
  • Peaks brought under -3 dB
  • Channel format made consistent with your book
  • Re-encoded CBR at 192 kbps or better, 44.1 kHz
  • Every fixed file re-checked — before/after report included

Good to know

Frequently asked

Yes — sign up, upload your book, read the full report. Up to three books a day. You only pay if you choose the one-click fix, and the price is shown before you commit.

Two things stay human: pauses over 5 seconds are pace edits to your performance, so we flag them with timestamps instead of cutting them; and a genuinely noisy recording (a failing noise floor) is a recording-chain issue — the report shows it honestly rather than pretending processing can un-record it.

Only the audio that failed. The quote counts the failing files — a single broken 30-minute chapter in a 10-hour book prices as 30 minutes (the £25 minimum), not 10 hours. Clean chapters are never processed, never re-encoded and never charged.

No stacking, no repeated re-encodes: each file goes through one processing chain and one encode. Files that already pass are not touched at all.

The report takes a few minutes for a typical book. The fix runs immediately after payment and re-checks itself as it goes — most books are ready to download the same sitting.

The fixer re-runs the same analysis on its own output and shows you the after-report. You download from a green report, not from a claim.

The finished MP3 files you’d submit to ACX — every chapter at once, up to 120 files per book. Your files sit in your private account area and you can clear them any time.

The usual culprits are technical, not performance: RMS loudness outside the −23 to −18 dB window, peaks louder than −3 dB, a noise floor above −60 dB, MP3s encoded under 192 kbps, missing room tone at the head or tail, or chapters that don’t match each other’s format. The free report measures every one of these on every file, failures first, so you can see exactly why your audiobook bounced.

Run the free ACX compliance check on your whole book, then use the one-click fix: it corrects the failing files — loudness, peaks, encoding, sample rate and room tone — in a single processing pass, re-runs the full analysis on its own output, and hands back files with a passing report, ready to resubmit to ACX.

Each file must measure −23 to −18 dB RMS, peak no higher than −3 dB, keep its noise floor at or below −60 dB RMS, be a 192 kbps-or-better CBR MP3 at 44.1 kHz, carry room tone at head and tail, run under 120 minutes, and stay consistent in channel format across the whole book. Those are exactly the numbers this tool checks against.
