Aaah! Oops! Noted and corrected for future.

Thanks Patty, I hope I have your name right.

Can I put my name down for Chapter 9 please.

Also, I have checked the file names and I can't work out where the extra s is coming from, can you advise? sorry if it is really obvious and I'm missing it!

Here is Chapter 6

Thanks, I'll try there

https://librivox.org/uploads/aradlaw/help_in_a_plane.mp3 :help: I wasn't sure where to ask this. A few different points in my reading I sound like I'm either under water or in a plane and I'm not sure how to get rid of it. I've tried equalizing and noise reduction on the section but I end up soundin...

Thank you! Would I be able to take Chapter 6?

I am more than happy to re record it, I don't want it to just scrape through. I would like to read another chapter and want everyone to be happy with it, especially the listener.

https://librivox.org/uploads/aradlaw/hearttalks_05_brengle_128kbs.mp3 Sorry about that. I had to move the mic away as it was causing plosives when it was in front of me, think it needs to come back to me slightly!

Hi!

I have now got all the equipment I need and have done my 1 minute test.

I would like to take Chapter 5 if that's OK.

Thanks

Thanks for all the advice. I've gone for a Lenovo Ideapad which I think ticks all the boxes. I'm collecting it on Sunday. Plan to have my 1 minute test done soon after.

Thanks Paul.
Yes I'll be working on Windows and the link you gave has answered all my questions.
Before my old laptop died I bought a USB snowball ice mic. Am looking forward to see how it performs!

Thanks for your help, I'm off laptop shopping!

I'm about to buy a basic laptop so I can start recording. Don't want to buy cheapest available and then find out its unsuitable for Librivox.
Any advice on the laptops specification I should be looking at.
Idiot proof answers appreciated!
Thanks Beks

Hi, I'd love to record something! This is my first recording and still need to get a mic, ordering one shortly. Shall I get back in touch once my mic has arrived?
