• Target completion date: 2012-Dec-12
• Text source (only read from this text!): http://sacred-texts.com/nam/iwhys.htm
• Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard
  
  IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
  
  Please don't download files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Hi Sacha,

I am going to skip all the stuff we normally tell newbies about how they should start with a section in a group project before attempting a solo, etc. It usually does not deter them anyway. So, moving on...

My real name is Barry and I will be your Meta-Coordinator (MC) for this project; that means I will watch over your shoulder and keep you on the correct path and take care of the behind the scenes stuff, like setting up the Magic Window (MW) and cataloging the project once it is done. I have also decided to be the Dedicated Proof Listener (DPL) for the project; it sounds like a good book to listen to and I can also make sure your recordings are correct (tech specs, ID3 tags, etc.) since you are new to Librivox (LV).

Since you are doing a solo, you are also the Book Coordinator (BC) of the project. You will need to fill in the information in the MW including the section titles, the length (time) of each recording, and the URL link to each recording after you upload it. I started the first 3 section titles to give you an example and you can look at other MW's for examples too. I have sent you a Private Message (PM) with the User name and Password you need to log into the MW and a link to some instructions.

I shortened up the filename since it was quite long. Don't hesitate to ask any questions.

Hi Barry

Thanks that's great. Actually just did a chapter on another book :

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=40178&start=60


This book is quite short and manageable I think, and I will try to upload it all at once when it's done.

Cheers

Sacha

[KiltedDragon]

I checked on your other recording and everything looks good and a great job reading too. This one should go well.

I will move this thread to the Going Solo forum on Monday or Tuesday.

[rideforever]

Hi Barry, I uploaded the first half of the book here :

http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/kd/Chapters 1-11 - Indian Why Stories.zip

[KiltedDragon]

Ok, several things need changing here.

First, don't upload a zip file. We can't use those. Upload only .mp3 files one at a time.

Second, since you are a soloist, you are also the BC of the project. After you upload a file, you will need to add the url link to each file into the MW.

Third, do not use spaces in file names. It will not work when you post the link as you can see from the filename in your last post. Use the format for the filenames that is in the first post in the thread: indianwhystories_01_linderman.mp3. Also, do not use capital letters in the filenames either.

So, please individually re-upload each of those properly named chapters; post the url link to the file and the recording time for each file into the MW. Then post a note saying you have uploaded them. You can look at other MW's to see how it should look. Let me know if you need any help.

[rideforever]

I certainly have no idea how an ordinary person is supposed to organise all the admin.

I am a programmer with all the experience in the world ... and it is incredibly complicated for me.

I have a file now with the one million passwords, links, formats, bit rates, file names, id tags, headers and footers, and procedures that are required to be followed !

Nevertheless, I have done what you asked.

[KiltedDragon]

Yep, it seems a little overwhelming at first but it becomes second nature after a while. A lot of it only has to be done once (settings, etc.) and then not messed with again.

I have listened to the first 2 files and you did a great job; looking forward to the rest.

[KiltedDragon]

Sections 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 11 are PL OK.

Section 2: stumble/repeat at 1:40; repeat at 5:36

Section 5: repeat at 9:00-9:06; repeat at 14:27

Section 9: repeat at 0:30

Section 11: repeat at 1:46

[rideforever]

Great, I will get to these when I can.

[rideforever]

Hi KD, I have edited them all apart from the last one which I couldn't find :


Section 11: repeat at 1:46


???

[KiltedDragon]

Oh bother, my fault. That 11 should have been a 10; section 10.

Then you need to re-upload just those files using the same file name. Thanks.

[Starlite]

This looks really interesting.

Can you shoot me a PM when you are finished please? (We used to have email notifications but it had security issues so it went the way of the DODO.)

Esther

[KiltedDragon]

Will do, Esther. Been some really interesting stories so far.

[rideforever]

Hi Barry

1. I have done the edits you pointed out

2. I have recorded and uploaded the 2nd half of the book however :

> C15 : 3m50 ....there are 30 words missing in the middle of the story

> C21 : 3m02 ... one word is wrong : "boughs" needs re-recording so it sounds like "pows" rather than "bows"

3. All sections have ID tags ... and I reupploaded all sections


So if you leave C15 / C21 until last I will get them done in the next few days or so.

Cheers

Sacha
