My thanks – you are the font of all knowledge, you know that?

Question: the first recording I made ("Seeing Darkly") just went up today and while I'm very excited about that, I was under the impression that somewhere in the description my WordPress blog would be linked and I didn't see that. Is that something that's doable and if so, where do I need ...

Huzzah! Now to bask in the adulation of my friends and coworkers!

Wait… I'm self-employed. Now to bask in the adulation of my friends and people I meet randomly on the street!

Done!

Well I wasn't going to bring this up, but since you asked – the first time I tried just using the Amplify filter and calling it good, checker told me that it was slightly too loud. So I adjusted the audio down by 2 dB, and checker told me it was now too low. Then I started over from scratch, did the...

I love being golden! (Usually I'm just molybdenumy...) Thank you for leading me to Checker--took a dozen or so tries to dial in the first file. (That 86-92db window is a narrow one!) Also, thank you both, Devorah and Kathrine, for your patience with me! I understand a bit more why Librivox encourage...

I don't know if you are or not – might be a good question for Laurie. But absolutely welcome aboard!

Many thanks to Devorah for posting this – but I just this morning discovered the wonders of audacity and so will not be trying to edit my librivox files in Premiere anymore ?

https://librivox.org/uploads/tests/test_willnuessleaudacious2.mp3 Aha! I might have answered BOTH of my previous questions with some Audacity Help meandering. Changed db level to -7 in Audacity and found the setting that let me choose "128kb" as my export level. So I think I just might hav...

Kathrine and Devorah--I've embraced change, had a quick "get to know you" session with Audacity, and have uploaded a third version of my 1:00 test, Now with Noise Cleaning by Audacity! https://librivox.org/uploads/tests/test_willnuessleaudacious.mp3 I think I--I? WE just might have licked ...

Record times are a bit limited to "when the baby is asleep"

Even if someone comes through with adobe premiere suggestions, it still might be who've me to embrace audacity. My current process is: Record the audio into an HD camera. Capture camera footage to my computer. Upload into adobe premiere. Edit and export in adobe premiere. Move onto a flash drive. Up...
