Hi, no, the google link doesn't work. I have now volunteered to read something else, so I won't be reading this for now. So, as long as nobody else has the same issue, all is well for now.

Thank you.

As my name, you can use Mela78. Thank you!

Hi, I'd like to try and read part 20.

Thanks.

Thank you for your comments. In terms of editing, I applied normalize and then amplify. I only used the noise reduction filters in selected parts of the reading, usually when you could hear a loud breath in moments where there should have been silence. I will keep an unprocessed copy of the recordin...

Hi, I've made a new recording.

according to the checker app it is ok, but I'd like some feedback, if possible.

is it easy to listen to?
is there too much background noise?
any other comments?

Thank you,

Mela

Hi, I tried to follow your link for the text to read and I get a page that says "this text is not available online" - Could it depend on where I am?

It was my intention to read some of the sections before deciding whether I want to record. Thank you.

Thank you. I've downloaded the checker app. I've also lowered the input level of the mic, hoping thus to catch less background noise. When I've got a new sample, should I make a new post or update this one?

Hello! I've recorded a new sample, this time in italian. I used the internal microphone of my mac with audacity. I used audacity to edit out the breathing sound. I'm trying to understand whether the quality is ok or whether I need to buy a microphone. Any feedback is welcome. https://librivox.org/up...

Got it.

I've followed your suggestions, Pier.

What do you think about the quality of the audio? I'm concerned about the breathing noise. Should I buy an external microphone?

Grazie Pier!

Hi, thank you for your reply. The book I wanted to read is "leggende sarde" - not the same one. However, if that one is not available I'll read something else. At the moment I'm struggling with the technical specs. I've just uploaded a one minute sample, but I'm not totally happy with it. ...

Hi,

this is my one minute sample. It's recorded using audacity and the internal microphone of my mac.
Any feedback is welcome, I'm finding the tech side of this a bit difficult.

So, if I understand correctly, this book is on archive.org https://archive.org/details/leggendesarde0000dele/page/n5/mode/1up?view=theater but it was published in 1995... so I can't record it, because it would have to be 70 years from the date of publication. Is that how it works? So maybe if I find...

Hi! Newbie here. It was my Christmas resolution to record a book... but I didn't manage due to problems breathing. Feeling a bit better now and my Christmas resolution has become a new year resolution. I'd like to read something by Grazia Deledda, in italian. Her work is on liber liber so it should ...
