Re: Audio editor for Chromebook?

Looks like there still isn't an audio editor that will run on a Chromebook and that online web-based editors are the only option. The only ones I've come across that can output audio for LibriVox is AudioMass and TwistedWave (which is a subscription).

Re: How to avoid the "I'm reading" voice

Some basic things you can practice right away: 1. Avoid down-inflections at the ends of phrases and sentences. We learn this in grammar school, but it is not normal speech. We usually just speak until the end of the message, and then stop speaking. There is rarely that down-inflection, which is a su...

Re: 1 Minute Test by Tracy Coffey

Greetings Tracy 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 all correct except the vo...

Re: SOLO Galactic Patrol by E. E. Smith (version 2)

Could you please submit a 1 minute test as per your welcome email so you can get your recording settings right for us - it's much easier for you to resubmit a under 1 min sample than to rerecord a whole chapter. You are on you own jumping straight into an over 9 hour solo with no LV experience - so...

Re: Test Recording by Marilyn

Post a sample and tell me what you tried. Also, tell me what mic, interface (if any) and software you are using. Don’t worry, this can be solved.

Re: [SOLO SCI-FI] Danger Planet (with Captain Future) - icequeen

17 & 18 ready for PL. Well, I was hoping for more of an epic battle with the Kangas, but still a satisfactory ending? This was an engaging tale. Any more Captain Future stories in the offing? Thanks for an enjoyable listen. ALL PL OK! :D I asked flav, and he said just the two right now. I guess...
