- The Audio Lab checks RMS, true peak, noise floor, sample rate, bitrate, and length, then identifies failed files.
Field notes
The workflow accepts EPUB, PDF, DOCX, Markdown, or TXT and presents chapter splitting, voice casting, generation, mastering, distributor export, and co-narrator settlement as a left-to-right pipeline. Chapter splitting can use local llama.cpp when a GGUF is available or a heuristic pass otherwise. Export folders are described as including manifests, a retail sample, and a disclosure file.
