I just PL'd the following recordings and here is their feedback -
Sections 19, 25, 28 - all PL OK
Please use the Checker which I have linked below as all of your recordings (which were excellent!) were a bit on the high side for volume. The Checker will tell you where you are in terms of volume. While the range is 86 - 92 dB (yours were between 91 and 92 dB) we aim for 89 dB so all recordings will have similar volume.
Section 26 - at 2:54 please remove "This recording is in the public domain". It is not needed at the end of the recording. Then just leave your 5 seconds of silence.
Again, excellent recording!
Section 39 -
0:015 - please start the recording between :005 and :01 - so you need to remove between .5 and 1 second of silence please
Cezka - there is some noise in the recording - like cars driving by with loud music playing. You can hear it twice during the recording - especially at about the 2:10 mark. I tried noise cleaning your recording however that did not help it. I think this recording will be okay, however it is just something you will have to watch for - ambient noise.
Again, excellent recording!
One last thing and that is please save the file with the format specified on the main page which is entertainingmadeeasy_##_burt_128kb.mp3 - the burt is the author - please do not put your name there. The ## is your section number (which you did correctly).
So for sections 26 and 39 please do the edits and then save the file using the correct file format (do not add 1 or 2 or anything like that - just the way displayed on the main page for the book, inserting your section number) and upload it to availle's queue please. Also please provide me with the length of your recording time.
Just so you know the way it works, when you upload a file with the same name, your previous one gets automatically rennamed and archived. This is so we can go back to it if needed. So there is no issue naming the file names the same - Librivox can handle it
Lastly, if someone has not given you ladies the Checker Tool and you are on a PC, here is something you can use to check your recordings prior to sending them in. I use it to test my recordings and then yours when I receive them for volume and noise. https://cgjennings.ca/checker.html It will give you a Passed/Fail or Passed with Warnings. The last two status need to be fixed prior to submitting the files for PL.
So that is about it - all three of you did GREAT on your first recordings!

I made sure to move away from the laundry room this time! I also have the checker; the audio passed.
