Hi, I'd be happy to do a reading of section 50 on Democritus and Heraclitus, and maybe some more at a future date depending how quickly sections are taken up :) Just one query about the bits in Latin, do we read them aswell as the translation underneath, or can we read just the translation? Thanks, ...

Hi Leni,

Oh, I see, yes I can do that, so I upload as usual and then enter the url and everything into the magic box, yes thats ok, titles, would be the section titles, alright.

Thanks, Jonathan

Hi Leni, Yes, I came up with that introduction myself as it didn't have a page for it on wikipedia, but that was just based on a quick look through, I could search for an introduction online, or do a better one of my own once I've read through it all if you'd prefer. In my other project I've just be...

Hi, I edited the post as you suggested, sorry, its only my second recording so I forgot some of the things I needed to fill in.

Hi, I'm resubmitting the first 5 chapters again. As you suggested it might be it was electrical interference, but as I am using a laptop I just had to disconnect it from the mains and the hum dissapeared. I Don't think there are any errors, and it is much more audible now, and there is little backgr...

Hi, I have sent the first 5 chapters again under the same filename, url = http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/cm/OftheShortnessofLife1-5_jh_Seneca.mp3 duration = 13m12s I have made changes, but I am still getting some background hum. I have left it on this time for now so that the voice is much...

Hi, Thanks for the feedback comments, I do want to do as high a quality recording as possible so I will try to implement the changes. I will make sure I change it to mono. I am already using the audacity version 1.3, so the bg noise interference may be best removed with a better microphone. I'll inc...

Hi, I have posted recording of first 5 chapters, my voice is a bit tinny because I had to remove background buzz from the cpu. Hope it is ok, but if any problems, or further editing to be done then let me know. regards, Jonathan Duration= 13m33s http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/cm/OftheShort...
