Since that is all it needs, I can take care of it when the collection is cataloged, but if you prefer to do it yourself, by all means go ahead.
Here you go, Jo. I thought I'd save you a little work and do the de-amplifying myself. Just took it down enough to get the spikes off the top & bottom, Hopefully that's OK. Let me know if it isn't.
Anything I can do to help, especially something this easy. All you MCs have enough other stuff to do.
Volume way too low (74.4 dB) - need to amplify by about 15 dB
3:14 - Missing this passage:
"Neither party expected
for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained.
Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or
even before the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier
triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the
same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the
other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's
assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces,
but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not
be answered. That of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His
own purposes. "Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs
be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh." If
we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which,
in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued
through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to
both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom
the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine
attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him?
Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war
may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the
wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited
toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash
shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand
years ago, so still it must be said, "The judgments of the Lord are true
and righteous altogether.""
Am a recent volunteer to LibriVox. After a few
recordings, I have decided my recordings are not
satisfactory, and rather than buy new equipment or
whatever the problem is, I think I will just move on
to something new. Please discard my recordings for
A. Lincoln's letter to Hodges and also
Lincoln's second inaugural address.
Here's my contribution - House Decoration by Oscar Wilde. It is a lecture Wilde gave while visiting America on May 1882. It is the 3rd lecture in the book Essays & Lectures

Beowulf,
Sorry you feel this way. I've removed these recordings from the magic window for now as you have requested, but if you change your mind and would like to resubmit your edited recordings, just let me know. I know it seem very difficult at first to get all the settings and volume right and it takes a little practice to get the hang of editing, but once you get past that, it gets easier from then on.
