That's a very interesting piece. The whole book looks very interesting although The Race Question by Paul Laurence Dunbar is probably no longer quite the after-dinner hit it once was.

Thank you, Ava, and thank you very much for MC'ing this.

And thanks again to Anne, Hanna and especially Linny for DPL'ing.

I really enjoyed doing this and there certainly will be another project.

Hi Ava, Could you please put my real name. It's in the version of the template I have saved but maybe it got lost somewhere. [*]If you are a new volunteer, how would you like your name (or pseudonym) credited in the catalog? Simon Hoare Do you have a URL you would like associated with your name?: [/...

Ava, for your info, I did a cover, have pre-claimed on the covers page and posted the link to the file there. Not sure if I needed to write this.

And here it is https://librivox.org/uploads/covers/tarasbulba_2006.zip

Thanks,

Simon

You need to preclaim the cover by posting in the cover thread - else it becomes first in best dressed.
You'd be better to read the first post in the cover thread rather than the wiki - it's more up to date.

Thanks, Anne. Good to know.

Excellent, thank you both! :clap: No Simon, this is the time where you lean back and enjoy while I do the (heavy?) lifting of bringing this into the catalogue. Give me a day or two before this is completed please. :D No hurry. I've done a cover image and will need to do all the things listed on the...

Hi Ava,

All the chapters have been proof-listened.

What happens next? Do I need to do something?

Congratulations on completing your first solo!

Thank you very much. And thank you again for proof-listening.

I believe the ending needs to include the full credits.

End of Taras Bulba by Nikolai Gogol. Translated by Isabel Hapgood

Have made the change and uploaded the new version.

It's an odd one. That part was outside of the range I had limited the track to, which I don't understand but then I don't know Audacity so well. I'll give it another go. But not today :-) I would just use the amplification feature. Highlight the audio for the range you want to adjust. Go to Effect>...

Chapter 11 is also PL OK.

I'll be back after lunch.

Great. Thanks.

Ok I'll make the change (tomorrow).

I have reuploaded chapter 9 and it's ready for spot PL. Yes, that was quite a roar, even for me. I think I wanted to capture the indignation of honour offended. Chapter 9 still seems loud to me in that spot. I didn't specify using the minus sign on the amplification. :oops: It's an odd one. That pa...
