So glad my first section went well! I'm really happy to do section 9 as well now if that's OK?

Hello! Here goes nothing! Here's section 8 - it's my first recording (aside from 1 minute test) so I'm completely happy to re-do if it's not right! https://librivox.org/uploads/triciag/autobiography1_8_spurgeon_128kb.mp3 It's 12:41 long. Definitely not a bad job. It is actually fairly good. There a...

Thank you!

Success! You are ready to record!

Woo hoo! Thank you!

[/quote] Hi KatieMama, Welcome! Like yourself, I'm also a writer who has been listening to Librivox recordings on and off for a long time. I'm now 100% hooked on recording for Librivox, I must say — but if you ever do want to get around to recording readings of your own works (which you can't do on ...

How's this?

Thank you!

Hi there, I've had another go - I used the amplify function as you suggested, and I think the background noise is OK. I'm not sure why my mic is so quiet. A couple of the 'p's sound a little funny at the beginning, but not towards the end, so perhaps I just breathed too much initially? Thanks for yo...

Audacity, Mac, USB microphone

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi there, I'm new here too. I've used Audacity for other projects though - if you go to 'export' on Audacity there should be the option to save the file as an mp3 and then it will be saved in your documents on your computer.
