Welcome to LibriVox Narise :D good first reading - just a cou0le of comments on your file..
- the filename should be all in lowercase (initials also) :wink:
- the volume is low at 83.1 dB, (with a noticeable background hum - Effect / Noise Reduction in Audacity will reduce that)
*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)
Please use the same filename when you upload your edited file. :D

*Please let me know under what name you would like to appear in the LV catalog and if you have one, we can put your personal URL link on your catalog page.

Hi, sorry about that, I completely forgot about the checker!
I have made adjustments, let me know if this is better (01:01:15)

Thank you :D

Hi David.
Here's my submission: https://librivox.org/uploads/aradlaw/highprice_cowper_lra_128kb.mp3
I've been a bit more exacting with the start and end times this time around!

Cheers,
Luke.

Welcome to LibriVox Elle :D Good reading, but some of the specs need correcting...
- your bitrate is 66 kbps (variable), we need a bitrate of 128 kbps (constant)
- the volume is too low at 66.5 dB. *You should aim for your waveforms to peak near the 0.5 mark, like this:

Image

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)
- we only require 5 seconds ending silence
Please make the corrections and upload again using the same filename.

*Please let me know under what name you would like to appear in the LV catalog and if you have one, we can put your personal URL link on your catalog page too.

Hello everyone, my name is Olly.

Here is my contribution, 0:48 seconds long. I've put it through the checker program, it has passed, according to the LibriVox specifications. This includes the correct bit rate, and everything else.
This is my first proper upload, so feedback is welcome. I am using a Rode boom arm with a Rode NT mini attached, so I hope the quality of my audio is ok.

I hope you all enjoy my contribution : )

Thanks,

slavictatra

Thank you Lisa, good reading, but you've started with the project description rather than the actual text to be read, could you edit that bit out and add a couple of seconds to the end to make our 5-second requirement please. (upload using the same filename :wink: )
