LOADED into Audacity. As in, you've opened the file in Audacity. I'm sorry - I typed "Archive" when I meant "Audacity"! :shock: I win the "make things really difficult for the poor readers" award tonight! If you cannot get it to convert down to mono, do the rest of the...

Just logged in again and see the same gray-not-black text saying I can't select either. I'm sorry to say I don't understand, and can't figure out by looking around the page, what it would mean for me to be "logged into Archive when looking for options." Can you say more specifically how I'...

Regarding double track: if the volume levels are the same on both, then you can go to Tracks / Mix / Mix Stereo Down to Mono. If the volume levels are different, then on the track itself on the far left side where it's named, above the mute button and next to the X, click on the track name there an...

More problems/confusion (seems like that's all I have!): after I amplified the chapter-1 recording as instructed, and adjusted the file name, I tried to re-upload it and got an "Error" message regarding the file type, saying it couldn't be uploaded. But the file-type is mp3, like the previ...

A question/confusion on the first change in chapter 1 requested: the sentence you asked me to substitute in, after naming section 1, appears in exactly the same form you've asked for it in the version of the recording previously posted, starting at 0:43. Please listen there and let me know if I'm mi...

Thanks for all this. I was out of town for a few days and not checking it. I will work on the changes later this week and let you know when new versions are posted.

Okay, I took another look through all the comments and instructions here. The one piece I can't figure out how to do is update the file names to the correct format, but hopefully someone else can do that since the ones I've used have the right information in them (I think) just not the right sequenc...

Aha, now I can get in!

Will spend some time later tonight trying to figure out updating file names, etc. according to the instructions as best I can, and will let you know when done with that.

Best,
Phillip

Good question. I would really like to do more of these, if I can figure out how to use the system without it being so confusing and stressful. But possibly I am too dumb about computers to be able to figure this out. I am sure I now have two different login passwords, one for the forum and one for t...

Shoot, I'm at a loss. I really appreciate all your attempts to help. I just did the whole "first time accessing the system" protocol over again for a second time, and set a new password, hoping that the problem was because I'd done that wrong somehow when I did it a couple weeks ago. But w...

Now I see where that is. Thank you! However, when I click on "BC admin," I get this message:

"You don't have permissions for this area.

And I am definitely signed in. Any suggestions?

Sorry again to be so slow with all this!

I'm sorry, I'm trying my best. There's a lot of technical stuff here I don't really understand, and so many instructions. When I try to follow the steps in the link you posted, I get to the "LibriVox Management Dashboard" and see the project listed there, but I don't see the "magic wi...

And chapter 3: https://librivox.org/uploads/triciag/the_crocodile_chapter_3_cryan.mp3

Here's chapter two (and thanks for the links and suggestions on the "Checker" program, I think/hope that solved the various problems with my first one):
