A new job opportunity has emerged for those in the music production field. A sound designer is being sought by a company to assist in preparing ten audiobooks for a work-for-hire project. This role involves a set of detailed tasks that include editing and mastering audio, as well as ensuring compliance with technical specifications for each audiobook chapter.

The responsibilities include editing the raw opening and closing credits voiceover audio footage, adding provided music beds, and mastering the final audio. Additionally, the sound designer will verify the technical specifications such as RMS values, peak levels, frequency, and bitrate, making adjustments when necessary. Furthermore, there is a meticulous requirement to split two chapters into four, all while maintaining the correct technical specs. The completed audio files must then be organized systematically into designated folders for each audiobook.

The project offers a total rate of $12 for the completion of all 10 audiobooks.

Familiarity with audiobook standards and an ability to execute simple edits efficiently are essential.
