Re: HUMOR: The Wit and Humor of America, Vol 06 by Various -

I tried searching for a request for an extension in the thread, but my search powers could be weak. Specifically, I am interested in section 16 (It just made me laugh). I don't want to cause any waves, but I would love to do this recording, assuming that I am reading the guidelines for a "dead...

Re: On the Nature of audio books and “reading”

I don't especially like recording--probably that's because 1) I'm a perfectionist and 2) I have really bad dry mouth. (If you've ever shopped for fake saliva spray, you'll know what I'm talking about.) I'm right with you! I love the whole concept, but the editing for me is about 8 hours for one hou...

Re: Help me put 100 Librivox books on YouTube!

I have some videos on YouTube, and the comments are sometimes bizarrely and randomly vulgar to the extreme. Since they are videos that I posted, I have the ability to delete certain posts, and I do edit the posts, but only for this sort of random extreme vulgarity (though not the mere negativity) th...

Re: Software to combine film and voice.

Hi Howard! I use SoundForge for recording and editing - I love the editing on SF - it's much more agile and enables precision editing in a way that Audacity can't. But, it's way more complicated than Audacity, and many times for processing I'll take it over to Audacity especially for the Noise Remov...
