Thank you Rowan, good reading, but the volume is a bit low at 84.9 dB. You should aim for your waveforms to peak near the 0.5 mark, like this:

You can check your volume using our Checker program - see info at http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Checker You will find the volume in decibels on the Information tab. For your information, we look for around 89 dB (87-91 is OK) (all the other tech specs are there also)

Damn! My fault... I usually check all of this stuff properly. I wasn't concentrating when I ran this through Checker.
I have uploaded again and it passed everything in Checker... I could probably be a bit more bold on amplification... but I will aim to improve this in future.
