thanks for PLing Elaine!

You'll enjoy Lider na sa Piniliay, as it's something about women being a home person only

Masa, you forgot to put the name of the Polish author in MW

. I also gave the Wikipedia link in one of my previous posts. By the way, the next short piece I'm going to read will be by the same author.

Hello everybody,
Pitorek san,
Thank you for your message.

I've fixed this. I also added link to the text.

Also, it's great that you have some Polish recordings. What type of books are these?

I traveled from Czech to Warsaw by train. I stayed there one night. Then I continued my travel to Berlin.
I stopped by your city Poznan a few hours. I ate a sandwich at the cafe at the railroad station.
They are Polish language textbooks written in Japanese & English.

elainesilva san,
Thank you for proof listening.
I've updated MW. Please check if I'm correct.

Otherwise, I can declare it as PL ok.

What is your opinion? All language have a dialect. If you think it's OK, I'll make it PL OK.

Anna san,
Thank you for increasing slots.

Cheers,
Masa

I checked it and it's great.. Just additional note on my PL note in Ang Aral ni Ina, the thing is, with the way Ate April said it, the word doesn't exist at all. I checked the dictionary and asked my mum and others how they pronounce the word 'paham' and said that the stress should be in the first syllable. So yeah, that's just a very simple adjustment, but I think it necessary to be able to understand the poem.

JohanLiebert · Post by **JohanLiebert** » August 1st, 2012, 5:25 am

I don't have a tagalog dictionary with me, but i remember reading paham in a short story before as either 'wisdom'.or something like a wise person...

I'll just edit it out

elainesilva · Post by **elainesilva** » August 1st, 2012, 6:32 am

Yeah, it means wise man or sage.

Ok, here's the second piece by Kochanowski I promised. This time a rather bitter one.

If you're interested in history, you may have heard about a British historian by the name of Norman Davies. He writes, among others things, about Poland and one of his works, "God's Playground", owes its title to this small poem.

Hello everybody,

Piotrek san,
Thank you for 'Czlowiek Boże igrzysko'. I updated MW.

Sarah san,
Thank you for 'Misère'
Your volume is a bit loud. mp3gain shows as follows.

$ mp3gain msw003_misere_borel_brit.mp3
msw003_misere_borel_brit.mp3
Recommended "Track" dB change: -4.350000

This means that you need to make the volume 4.35dB lower. You can do this by Audacity.
Go to 'Effect' and select 'Amplify' and enter '-4.35'.
Somebody will proof listen to your recording. I only checked technical specs.
Another technical specs are OK. But sometimes beginner's luck occurs. So please post another
recordings here or another project.

Nina san,
Thank you for proof listening.

Masa san,

Thanks for the help

. I've reduced the volume by 4.35dB, so here is the link for "Misère" :
http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/lz/msw003_misere_borel_brit.mp3

What do you mean posting another recordings ? Of the same poem, or something else ?

Regards,
Britannia

ekzemplaro · Post by **ekzemplaro** » August 2nd, 2012, 1:11 pm

Hello Britannia san,
Thank you for ajusting the volume. It's now OK.
mp3gain shows as follows,

$ mp3gain msw003_misere_borel_brit.mp3
msw003_misere_borel_brit.mp3
Recommended "Track" dB change: 0.050000

Let's wait some one proof listen to your recording.

Britannia wrote:What do you mean posting another recordings ? Of the same poem, or something else ?

Something else. How about a short story in French? Maybe 2 or 3 minutes.

Beginner's luck is my experience. I didin't pay attention to mp3 spec. But the first time was OK. Next time the spec was wrong.

Cheers,
Masa

Hi

I´m about to work on my first piece for this collection. Should I say in the disclaimer when it was published? when the author died? who published it?. I found a disclaimer in danish, but it only wants me to say the book titel and the authors name. But when I´ve listened to other recordings, they say the other stuff as well.

Hi. Just use the disclaimer you will find in the first post of this thread. People also sometimes give the addreeses of their (non-comercial) websites or their locations, but that's optional. All the other data (date of publication, year, etc.) is something that you need to write down here when submitting a recording, but you don't put that into the disclaimer.

Also, if it's your first recording you should also write how you would like to be credited in the catalogue
