I've confirmed the link is good. I know exactly what the problem was previously and I have corrected it. I'd prefer to leave the links in place in the magic window rather than redo them all piecemeal. I will continue to check every time I upload a file.

hi caro and claudia,
you might have already heard about it, but in case you havent, our servers crashed and we lost a month of data. so everything (literally everything) anyone did on librivox since september 15th is lost and needs to be redone.
i am not sure at which level this project was, but could you please have a look at the magic window and reupload anything you had submitted last month?
also, may i ask both of you to please look at all group projects you were involved in and make sure your claims, recordings and pl status is as it should be. notify your bcs as soon as possible whether or not things are in order or not. thank you!

Thanks, Carolin, as the DPL of two more projects, I know about the data loss.
Caro, I hope you still have your files. I have the files 1 to 7 on my PC in case you don't have them any more.
As far as I recall, they were all PL OK.

So much to do, so little time...

Thankfully, I do still have the files (previously I have deleted once they'd been PL'd..).
I will re-upload.
Chapter 8 is now uploaded and ready for PL. Link checked.
Before the book is finalised, I'll review all the files and adjust the sound for consistency. I am having to edit out such a lot of noise pollution right now (a house is being built two doors from me!) that it is likely I will need to balance out the sound quality once I have a complete set of chapters.
Chapter 8 is my favourite of all these wonderful stories.

As long as the noise level isn't too high, and the volume is within the range, you don't need to do anything. From what I know all files are brought to a 89dec level anyway before cataloguing (Carolin will know).

Thanks Claudia,
I have kept the volume to replay gain's recommended level so that's not a problem but I feel there is some variance in tone due to different required levels of noise reduction. I'll review the files when complete but won't change any content, it will be the same recordings, just with a little tweaking so they all sound the same (bass/treble balance, sharpness etc.)

thankfully you didnt delete those!
we can make some minimal adjustments to the volume during cataloging, but usually only lowering rather than raising, as the system wont cause clipping. so we only accept files over 86 decibel for cataloging, so that even if the volume cant be adjusted any further, it wont be too far off the rest.
i personally always have a little variation in what i sound like when i record, i notice quite a strong difference sometimes between files recorded on different days. but i think most people have that, and i dont mind it myself when i listen to other people, so thats nothing to worry about.

Boy, what a mission that one was... about 12 drafts before I got it sorted
The biggest irony.. it's not my favourite story at all. But it is my sister's
I think it's the longest story in the book, so next one coming with less of a delay, hopefully.

Yes. I listened to it today. I loved it. It's PL OK if we agree on a five seconds silence generally now, otherwise it would need five additional seconds (but I think five are enough).
Oh, and all the best for 2017!
