Thank you.

He won me over with his comment that places weren't so much discovered as exposed to Western civilisation - it seems a more twenty-first century manner of thinking than nineteenth.

Section 11 PL OK Section 12 PL OK Section 13 PL OK Section 52 Spot PL OK Aparna - although your volume is within range, don't be afraid to boost it a little. Amplifying by 2dB would put you in the middle of the range rather than at the bottom of it. Good work, both of you. It's rare to go through so...

Section 10 PL OK

There's no need to give the volume - I'll check that anyway!

Section 52 PL notes: The file is on the quiet side - we try to make all sections comparable volumes so the listener isn't having to adjust their headphones from file to file. If you could amplify by +5.0 dB (you've got the headroom to do that without worrying about compressors or limiters) then uplo...

https://librivox.org/uploads/kikisaulite/arabiannightsvolume11_52_anonymous_128kg.mp3 Thank you! The file name still isn't quite right (it should finish with 128k b .mp3) but don't worry about that just yet - if I pick up anything while prooflistening simply upload the file with the correct name.

Hi DianaEve...

Could you include the URL when you upload something? In particular, I don't seem to be able to download https://librivox.org/uploads/kikisaulite/arabiannightsvolume11_52_anonymous_128kb.mp3 (which is what the name should be).

Cheers,

This file had a sampling rate of 48 kHz not 44.1 kHz. I corrected it but wanted you to know. Thanks, Dave. I think that coincides with the time I was experimenting with using Ocenaudio rather than Audacity, so it's probably down to not being familiar with the settings. Sorry not to have picked it u...

Hi Leni... Thanks for picking this up, both as MC and DPL. On the DPL front, there's never a hurry on my end to have them turned around - I'm very slow at editing, so won't be building up a backlog while waiting! Thanks for catching the filename too - I'd never thought to check it, but you can be su...

BTW, I've updated the book summary in the light of now having read it.

Thanks, Dave - and thanks for being MC and DPL for this.

Thanks, Foon. I can't hear any clipping on my copy, but in case the file got damaged somehow in transit I've remastered it. I've also fed it through a decrackle filter in case what you're picking up on is the pollen-induced fry that I always get at hayfever time. :( https://librivox.org/uploads/tric...
