Hi everyone! This is my first (non-weekly-poetry) project and I'm having little trouble with some clipping (if that's the right term). I am recording the full poem selected and at random moments it seems like my words get clipped off. For example, in this recording it happens at approximately 0:02 when there should be a tiny pause between the name of the poem and the name of the author, it sounds like I have edited the space out, but I haven't. I would greatly appreciate assistance with this issue! If it makes a difference, I am using Audacity on a Windows computer with a USB mic.

Hi there!
Is what you sent how your recording sounds after you recorded it or after you have edited it? I am a little confused - so for example, at .02 when you say "by George..." it comes immediately after the title of the poem. Did you pause when you were recording and then edit out the pause or did the software just truncate the blank space?
Did you run anything from the Effects menu on the recording such as Noise Reduction or Amplify?
I can probably help you if you can give me a bit more information please

Thanks Lynda, I think the software is truncating (better word than I used!). I am pausing between title and author, and I have edited the file that was uploaded, but the truncating occurs even before I edit. Sometimes it clips off the end of a word and sometimes it clips out space between words. I did run Noise Reduction and Amplify but the truncation of the pause between title and author was evident even before editing. You know, now that I type this I am realizing it always happens during my introduction to the reading. Is it possible there is some setting that is causing a disruption early on in the recording?
Hi I am answering you from my phone where I do not have Audacity to look at. There is a forum if you go to the main page of librivox - click Board Index on upper left corner to ask technical questions. I would as that question on that form. Nothing comes to my mind that would be a setting I have run into during my recording sessions. The only thing i can think of is you have something checked when you are noise cleaning or amplifying.

Just a reminder that I put this request in a few days ago.GregGiordano wrote: ↑September 20th, 2018, 6:41 pm May I claim the following Sections: 46, 47, 71, 72, 74 & 75.

Thanks!

Hello, and I'm back. Sorry for the delay.
Section 32 is missing the small intro.
Section 33 has a volume of 92.7. It should be 86 to 92 for standard.
Very nice reading overall though.

Okay, sections 79 to 83 are next.
Good reading. I might suggest use of some baffling in future to remove the tinny, echoey sound to the recordings. Just a suggestion.
79 and 80 are PL OK
81 :42 ...prove my one grand... should be ...prove by one grand... Not such a big deal in prose, but we're to note these things in poetry.
82 and 83 are PL OK.

With these next 2 we're caught up.
Sections 84 and 91. There is a roaring sound around the words. I'd suggest cleaning the file to see if that helps. You also might try some baffling around the mic or in front of your desk area. It might be reflected sound as well. Its a good reading, but the noise is making it difficult to listen to.
