I wouldn't want to burp in public! I'll check it out.

I've fixed the burp. Here is Chapter 12 uploaded again at 12:52:

I'm not sure what caused that noise. 'Twas a strange one, to be sure. Never mind; you've fixed it. PL (again) OK. Thanks.

Thank you!
This is Ready for PL

Unfortunately, there was a claim posted for Chapter 5 just before this, so I've already assigned it.
But, I still have you in for Chapter 10

Chapter 9 - Lightfoot Goes Ashore - PL OK.

There is quite a lot of background noise in your recording - your voice is slightly less than 20 dB louder than the ongoing noise, so that background rumble is pretty audible in the recording. I suggest you do some noise reduction when you do Chapter 10. If you haven't done that before you can watch a howto made by Phil Chenevert here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFSg9o37HMw. (In my version of Audacity the three sliders are different from what Phil shows - I have "Noise reduction (dB)", "Sensitivity" and "Frequency smoothing (bands)" - the beginning settings Audacity comes with are pretty good, so note whatever Audacity starts you with before you start playing around; you might want to go back.) I tried the Noise Reduction effect on your chapter and improved things by about 10 dB without damaging how your voice sounds.

There is also some ticking or popping in your recording at random intervals - I'm not sure where that came from, maybe it's electronic. The noise reduction effect will not reduce this kind of noise, but don't worry about those noises, they aren't unacceptably loud.

Thanks for chapter 9, I'm looking forward to 10.

Well, you did manage to upload it to the wrong MC
It should go to mightyfelix

I think Devorah could retrieve it, but still would be better if you would upload it again.

[MARIA8746]

Awe sorry. Will upload it again

OK, I've got this in Ready for PL
You're not the first one to do it, including myself.

May I claim Section 7, Lightfoot on the Boat, please?

Thank you!
I see you've completed your test recording, so I just need to know how how you would like to be listed in the Librivox catalog - real name, pseudonym or any nickname you wish. This is how you will be credited for all of your LV projects, of which I hope there will be many.

Just watch your volume. There is a section on this in our Newbie Guide to Recording, linked under point to of the initial post for this project.

Chapter 3 - Lightfoot Saves a Girl - PL OK.
There is some clipping near 7:07 in the chapter - where Lightfoot says, "Baa-aa-aa" - but it doesn't sound too bad there.
Thanks once again Maria. You've been very busy turning in chapters in multiple books - good for you.
