Hi Kim/Tricia

Just ran sec12 through Checker to confirm the volume - and discoverd that for some reason I still don't understand it was saved at 32kbps.

Have now uploaded revised version at 128kbps. Level is 88.5dB

Thanks, Chris.

Hi all I've been doing some work on trying to analyse volumes of recordings and downloads out there by genre (see thread https://forum.librivox.org/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=47275). In trying to do this, I've discovered that it is made extremely difficult due to the very haphazard way in which record...

Indeed, it sounds a good idea. Not quite sure how you would go about doing it. There are currently 100 readers who are have claimed a section but have not yet produced a recording. These may be people who have just claimed a section this week. They may or may not have done a test recording to check...

Great! Thank you Malone.

I hope you enjoy it and maybe pick up some tips too.

I'll put you in the Magic Window when I'm back at my PC.

I'd just like to chip in in support of Todd's suggestion of a survey of 'lapsed' readers - albeit a "very small one"! We can all speculate enthusiastically about the causes of lapse and invent potential solutions, but nothing beats a few facts to ensure that the limited energy of the core ...
