:?: Gee, I'm not sure at all. I think the mic for that may have been different; a very cheap one one I found stuck in a dusty corner. Then I rushed to WalMart and bought a $9 Logitec which has been used for all the rest assuming it was better. Also, I used normalize and amplify on that first one it ...

Wow Ruth, I can't sneak anything by you, can I? HA Truthfully I had not found that button at that time. On the other hand you have given me an excellent idea. I will try to paste a recording in the previous message WITHOUT Realtek noise suppression and another WITH to give people an idea of the diff...

:wink: well Ruth, the reason the swarm of angry bees was on my previous sample was: 1) I know you love a challenge and/or 2) lots of background noise gives the listener a challenge they secretly love. Really, I hadn't discovered the suppression button until after sending the sample. The more I poke ...

This may be old information but it was new to me so I thought I'd pass it on to other LV recorders. If your 'puter uses Realtek as a sound manager, then you have a built in very nice noise suppressor that cancels the hummie things (technical term for things that go hmmmmm like your computer fans and...

http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/tests/rawwithboostforruththeravishing.mp3 Dear Ruth (I feel I know you already): the above file is a raw, unmodified recording done with the boost ON. And yes, the previous one was done before I ferreted out that boost thing. The wave file looks stronger but ...

I have been very frustrated by the weak volume from my microphone that produces an anemic, almost flat, wave in Audacity unless I scream. The trouble I finally discovered was that I have Realtek Audio on my computer and it takes over from normal windows controls, not allowing normal volume control. ...

For RuthieG: this is a raw, untouched sample of an Audacity recording on my 'puter. http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/tests/raw_recordingfor_RuthieG.mp3 I am using a cheap analog Logitech desk mic now but have ordered a Yeti. (If I can't improve my voice, at least I can improve my microphone,...

Ta TAAAAA! here it is.
thanks for being patient

Great. Samuel only has a few pieces and I would love to sing that part so put me down. I will try to upload very soon.

I know most of the Pirate songs and will join in the chorus.

I am honor bound to participate!

http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/tests/Commenaries%20on%20the%20Gallic%20War%20section%2011%20test.mp3 WHAT? I tried to play it myself and it could not be found on the server. Thanks for the nudge. This is the sample that sounds so strange. let me know what you think. naturally i'll have to ...

:roll: Can anyone tell me why my playback voice suddenly went from sounding OK to a weird hollow, wavering voice? It goes from Baritone to tenor ... interesting but very distracting. There is a touch of that 'talking into a tin can' sound too. I am using Audacity with the suggested settings. i would...

Do we announce the chapters as they occur in the section we are reading E.g. "Chapter 157. Caesar decided to take a break and go fly fishing after defeating the Vicious Spammers ....." or just ignore them since they are really paragraphs. ??

thanks for your usual clear directions.

Actually, that is exactly what i was looking for; a rough tool to estimate recording time from file size in kB.

Many thanks!

love your sig. My personal goal is to record several of Chesterton's earliest books so that I can understand them. !

Thank you Laurie. That will serve very well. I've added the word count thingie to firefox and will run some trials to get a feel of file size viz. word count. Ain't technology grand! excellent! Phil UPDATE: the word count add on won't work with my version of firefox but I used another free one to ru...

I would like to claim numbers 11 and 12.
pages 108 - 124.

also, what is the LV policy on footnotes? the ones in this edition were obviously not written by Caesar but by the book editor.
