Barry and Joy, First, here is section 5 (chapter 4). I've amplified this before sending - let me know how the volume is and I'll keep fine tuning my technique. :wink: Time: 15:20 http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/lc/lifeofmaryjemison_05_seaver.mp3 And, here is another crack at Section 4. I've...

Hey Leni and Dii, Here is part 6. Wenlock is showing his true colors as a yellow bellied sap sucker. What fun :P I've amplified the file before posting - let me know how this works and I'll adjust as necessary next time.

Hey Dii. Thanks for listening. I do plan to read the preface, but I was going to go back and catch that later because I was having fun with the story . . . I'm off recording for a week or two as life has butted in and there doesn't seem to be a quiet moment. But I can't wait to get back and read our...

Leni and Dii, Thanks for the comments. I'll take a listen. When I was recording one of the sections, it started to storm. All I can think is rain - as I was in the house alone. Since you're consistently amplifying, I'll try upping the input level on the mike for the next section I do - just to see i...

Here is a corrected Section 4

Lesson learned - no matter how hot it is, no fans when you are recording. Leads to that pesky hum in the background.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Ok, thanks for the guidance. One thing I'm working on is getting intensity in my voice without volume - to better avoid the peaks and valleys of volume for the listener. Can you give me a quick audacity tutorial - let's say that I mark a section and want to increase the volume on that section - what...

Hey Wii, I had trouble on another recording with background noise - I think it may be a fan. We had some very hot days and with the cicadas singing away in the trees, I need to have the windows shut when I record, so had a fan in another room to try and move some air . . . seems everything I did tha...

No, I don't know how to put them in the magic window. This is all a learning experience for me, so appreciate you walking me through it.

Hey Leni and Dii, Here are the first few files (this is the work of a couple of weekends - so this pace won't continue . . .) 01 - Time 33:47 http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/le/oldenglishbaron_01_reeve.mp3 02 - Time 27:08 http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/le/oldenglishbaron_02_reeve....

Hey Leni, I have not worked with the Magic Window before - so please - tell me what I need to do and how. I plan to follow the "part x" nomenclature. And I would put it in the following categories: fiction historical fiction horror/ghost stories It's off to lunch for me at this point - I p...

Leni and Dii -
Thanks so much! I'm excited and I hope to make your jobs a piece of cake! (to continue the dinner theme)

This is a bit scary - as it is my first foray into a solo project. There is an preface, and then one long story with no breaks for 115 pages. I will work out the breaks as I go, but my guess would be no more than 15, including the preface. I would like to make the preface "00" so the remai...

Here is Chapter 3 - section 4. Time is 22:53 http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/lc/lifeofmaryjemison_04_seaver.mp3 I noticed that several Indian words have pronunciations in my sections - here they are for the benefit those reading later chapters: She-nan-jee Can-a-ah-tua Ge-nish-a-u Gaw-gush-...
