It's fine with me if Lucretia takes over as DPL here. My plate is pretty full, and I need to start doing more on my languishing huge solo project.

Hi Larry--

I'm out of commission on recording for a couple of weeks. Would it be helpful if I signed on here as DPL? Let me know what you think.


EDIT: Oops--beg pardon if you are already working with a PL'er here. If so, disregard my post.

By mutual consent, we will add you as the DPL for the remainder of this project.
Thank you so much, Lucretia!

And now, Lucretia has access to the MW! Thanks Lucretia!

Hi, Farrah--

Very lovely reading--thank you so much! Your volume comes in at 86.5 dB, so it is a bit low. I need you to amplify your recording by 3.0 to bring the volume up. But you have some spikes in your recording, so I think that you will probably need to use the Compressor effect in Audacity first before amplifying. After you have used Compressor on your track (thus reducing the spikes), then you will be able to amplify by 3.0 to bring the volume closer to our goal of 89 dB.

There are some short, helpful videos made by one of our members on this LibriVideo page: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Instructional_Videos
Near the bottom of that page there is a section about Editing with Audacity. You might check out the videos called "The Compressor Effect Explained" and "Some Parts of My Recording are TOO LOUD and others Too Soft". There are also some helpful explanations on our Librivox Wiki page if you prefer instead of the videos: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Main_Page

Since you will be uploading the file again anyway, I have a couple of corrections for you--

At ~6:02 I hear "...the corpse of foreign nurses" but it should be "...the corps of foreign nurses" pronounced to sound like "core" as shown here https://howjsay.com/search?word=corps
Also, could you add the Chapter Number to the Outro at the end of the recording? I think we typically say the Chapter # or the Section # as appropriate.

Upload the edited file using the same file name, post the link here in this thread again--and I'll take another quick look at it. Let me know if you have any questions--we'll be glad to help!

Thank you, and welcome to the book!
You have this chapter to record.

Since we have a DPL now, she needs something to do, so here is the concluding chapter:
