Thanks! The poems themselves are fine. There are just some technical tweaks to make.

Volumes are a touch high; if you amplified, don't amplify as much. (They're about 3 dB high.)

Files are in stereo; needs to be mono. To fix it on THESE recordings (without re-recording), go to Tracks / Stereo to Mono.

ID title tag should be the name of the poem, not the file name. (This is especially important on collections like this, since I cannot import them from the Magic Window like on regular books.)

Those are the things that need fixing. The following is a suggestion:

You have some background white noise that should be easy to clean up. You could try a light noise cleaning. Here are a couple resources:

My settings are as follows:
Noise reduction: 12
Sensitivity: 0
Frequency Smoothing: 150
Attack/decay: 0.03
School fiction: David Blaize
Exploration: The First Four Voyages of Amerigo Vespucci
Serial novel: The Wandering Jew
Medieval England meets Civil War Americans: Centuries Apart
Humor: My Lady Nicotine

Hi there, thanks for the feedback, but how do I do the title tag and file name to be different? It just gives me the Track Title option (If I put the name of the file there, it changes the file's name to that as well)

I see you are using GarageBand. I'm not sure how you do it in there; people have figured it out, though. :lol: Perhaps you could ask in the Need Help? section of the forums?
