Yes I will be starting. I will need a bit of hand holding at first, since I can't get into the MW so not sure of the files I need and the order. I am currently looking through the Full text of "Caliban by the......" I have set up a folder to download the files into and am ready to start or...

Hi Phil, I tried your suggestion and again with the previous result. I am sorry that didn't work and we still have not solved a problem. I will continue to try any of the things you suggest. Sonia is also being a great help. However, I understand from Anne that I can do the job without getting into ...

Hi Sonia and thanks for the ReplayGain tips. They didn't work for me. Your directions are for Windows and I use a Mac. I have found that a lot of things originally coded for Windows don't play well on a Mac. After download and opening ReplayGain, I got the message that I needed to download FFmpeg fi...

Hi Plaidsicle,
I am currently having trouble getting into the Magic Window. I accept the position of editor and will get started as soon as Phil solves my security problem so I can log in. I am excited to try and help.

Yes, I have been doing almost precisely that which you suggest. In the course of which I exchanged messages with some with good tech skills of their own. One gentleman informed me that the directions to ReplayGain don't seem to work for him. I couldn't test because I don't even have that plugin. I w...

Hi Phil, My forum name is JayS. Capital J and S. I don't know if it is case sensitive, but that is the way I get into all the forums. I have not picked a Catalog name as best as I remember. Put me in any way you like and I will keep trying. I know we can get this solved and maybe get some knowledge ...

Hi lurcherlover, You are correct for most of the time. There is an exception and that is in regard to plugins. There are many plugins that when used carelessly will cause your mono track to suddenly go stereo. I am not sure of all the plugins that come with Audacity, but it is possible to use plugin...

Hi plaidsicle, I am a retired audio recording person and have been looking for a way to help some projects in LibriVox. It was suggested to me that with the experience I have I could do some multi-voice editing in some of the Dramatic Works area. If you can use an audio editor to take voices from va...

Hi Phil,
I hope I am not too much of a pest. If every newbie takes this of your time.....

Anyway here are the screenshots for my failed login

Hi Phil, I did the video and went to a project that needed something and tried to go to the BC Admin and upon clicking that link I did not get what the video shows. It took me directly to a login page and I could not seem to get it to do anything but "incorrect login". Clicking on "Fo...

Thanks Phil, I will check out the video. I was in Listeners Wanted... and found a new post of a test recording from whom I believe will be a great reader for LV. I took the liberty of doing a critique of her recording and would love a critique of my critique. It was test_humsully.mp3 posted today 8N...

Hi, I'm hoping I can help the "Stereo" issue for Audacity users. The easiest way to be sure your export is Mono is: File/Save Other/Export as MP3/ In the "Save As" box you can check the file name. Then under "Where" choose your destination. Under "File type" b...

Hi Carolin, Phil C suggested that I offer my services as a dedicated editor for Dramatic Works since I have the ability to edit multiple voices and recording environments into a more cohesive whole. I have done a lot of this type of thing in the past, professionally and would be happy to help in any...

Hi Phil, Thanks for the nice reply and the subtle direction you are leading me in. I approve completely. I already know that I will need to curb my tendency to be "nit-picky" since this is not like working for ad agencies where I spent a good deal of time as recording engineer, director an...

Hello folks,
I would like to volunteer to PL any sections that need it. This would be my first attempt at PL so I might need a touch of hand-holding at first, but I learn quickly.
