Re: Aarons Test Recording

Aloha Aaron Your audio meets LibriVox requirements, so you are good to go. One note: Your volume is 91.7dB, almost at the max of the acceptable 86 to 92dB range. Going forward, I suggest reducing your volume to about 89dB to allow a margin of safety. You can pre-check your audio yourself by download...

Re: 1 Minute Test Recording

Welcome Daniel I reviewed your test sample, and while it sounds good there are some technical changes needed. LibriVox requires audio that is 128kbps constant bit rate MP3, 44.1kHz sample rate, mono, and between 86dB and 92dB, preferably 89-90. Your test audio settings are correct, so well done. The...

Re: 1 MINUTE TEST VOLVERTO

Welcome Volvo Your test audio settings are all correct, so well done. There is however severe background noise, which needs to be reduced by 15 to 20dB. It sounds like a very loud fan. Try to isolate your mic from the noise, such as computer fan. If that isn’t entirely successful, use Audacity’s Noi...

Re: October Weeks 1-Minute Test

Greetings Lindsey Your technical settings are all correct, so well done. Your audio, however, has too much room echo - you need a deader recording space. You can find advice on improving issues like room echo in the Librivox wiki: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Improve_Your_Recording Plea...

Re: Richard Poore - 1 Minute Test

Welcome Richard Your technical settings are all correct, so well done. There are tow issues, however. First there is too much background noise. It sounds mechanical, like a fan. Second, there are significant plosive sounds on the P's where your breath hits the mic. Try to isolate your mic from the n...

Re: Brian Campbell - 1 minute test

Welcome Brian Your audio meets LibriVox requirements, so you are good to go. Many USB interfaces need to be turned almost all the way up to get adequate volume. This is typical. It's also OK to record at a slightly lower volume and then adjust upward with software 3 - 5dB. 4 inches is probably too c...

Welcome Kristin Your audio meets LibriVox requirements, so you are good to go. As for the S's, that's known as sibilance. I don't think you are overly sibilant, but if you want to try to reduce it there's a couple things you can do. Sadly one you can't with a headset is to move the mic farther away,...
