Re: How to interpret the warning around copyright and reading?

Interesting. It seems therefore that my ambition as a Reader is short lived, as in non-existent. Although, I guess it depends on the author of the work being deceased more than 70 years Thanks for the clarification Yes, it does. We all have to deal with copyright rules. In the US, many copyrights a...

Re: 1-minute test recording - here we go! :)

Welcome Lauri 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 is a WAV file, stereo, and volume too lo...

No to split hairs, but if none of the Futuremen are actually men, shouldn't they be the Futurethings? And since they were actually made in the past, the Oldthings?

15 & 16 ready for PL.

Re: Test recording for review

The volume is fine. I realize I inadvertently left something out of my post above. You can adjust the volume level with Audacity before exporting by going to Effects>Amplify and enter an amount. In your case, an adjustment of +4 or 5dB would have done it. I do apologize for almost costing you the wi...

Re: 1-minute test

Hi Dmitry Your test is good, except for the volume which is a bit under the 86 - 92dB range at 85.6dB. Shoot for 89 to allow a margin of safety. Your recording space could also be deader. There is sone room reverb. You can find advice on improving issues like room echo in the Librivox wiki: https://...
