JayKitty - are you sure that you uploaded the correct file, this appears to be the same file as before, I'm coming up with the same errors and I'm wondering if you uploaded the old file again accidentally and not the new one? :? :?

I did go ahead and PL the entire thing, so here are the corrections, there is still a lot of background noises and the same issues as before. Just so you know, there is help if you need help editing, you can just ask. I tried to clean it up with my program, and it seemed to do pretty well, so I'm thinking you just uploaded the incorrect file.

Anyway, here goes:
Trim silence to no more than 1 second, there is over 2.5 now.
3:57 - repeat in the phrase:"It was easy, It was easy to be quite." Should be "It was easy to be quite"
From about 4:03 to end, it sounds like people talking in the background or a tv on.
4:13 - Stumble over word "chain" on the sentence: Twisted about her bare toes was a little silver chain.
4:17 - large noise (maybe shifting in chair?)
4:20 - Stumble: You say, Arcturus and her and his leash were gone
4:22 - noise
4:57 - 4:59 - background noise
5:21 - background noise
5:23 - double word, "felt", in sentence "Olive felt all about in the sand by Dora’s bed"
5:29 - stumble in sentence "for she really did not know what else to do"
7:56 - background noise
9:26 - Stumble on sentence "She managed to thank Uncle Dan, who was as sorry as Olive that it had been of no use"
There should be five seconds of silence at end, there is only 4.

Jenniferrd,
Oops! Thanks for your PL notes. Could you maybe help edit, please? Thanks. I do remember making the corrections, so I probably uploaded the wrong file. Sorry about that!

Do you have a corrected file? You could upload that and we'll go from there?

Sure, Jenniferrd, I'll search for one right now. I do hope I have one :| :? :?
Thanks for your patience!

Hi Jenniferrd,
So I do have a .AUP file...it says it was last modified on Oct.9th. I just checked and that was the date I uploaded it saying the changes were fixed. So I'll try reexporting it and maybe we can work from that.
Gotta go reexport and upload now! :)
Thanks,
~JayKitty

Oh yeah, one more thing:

How do I fix this? Should I just apply noise reduction? It seems like a lot to rerecord, especially since I have a goal set (by the end of this week) to begin a new project and I have 12 chapters of another dramatic work...phew! :lol: If I do need to rerecord, however, that's fine, I'll just try to crank out more chapters of my other projects per day.

Thanks!

Hey Jenniferrd,
Here's the (hopefully) corrected version of chapter 3:

Okay, try this: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/User:Philchenevert - this is exactly how to run noise cleaning on the file, you can actually run it a few times, if it's still noisy. On the stumbles, you rerecord those sections and edit them in. Usually it's easier to rerecord the whole sentence that the stumble or background noise is rather than trying to replace a single word. I'll take a listen to this file and see if it's any better for the noise.
