Thank you, Caleb! All good now! Just one note: when you upload an edited file, you should use the same filename, so that it has the file-naming format instructed in the first post. The previous uploaded file gets renamed automatically, so it's not lost - in case it's needed again for some reason. No worries for this one, I will rename at cataloguing

A couple of short poems on spring. Probably not the best in literary terms, but I'm hoping for spring. We got a about a 1/2 inch of snow today, enough to bend our birches to the ground.....

Hello Rapunzelina,
It's been years since I don't visit librivox! Happy to be back =)
I was wondering about recording The Raven, by Poe (http://poems.theotherpages.org/poe01.html).
Does it fits the criteria for this collection? I've found it on The Poet's Corner and apparently it'll take from 8 to 15 minutes to record the whole poem.
Best regards,

Hello Caio! Welcome back!
Yes, a recording of The Raven by Poe is exactly right for this collection! Have fun with it!

Hi, Rapunzelina!
Here it is. I was doing the Raven, but I need to train it a lot before actually recording it. It's huge, haha.
So I decided to contribute with this one:
Eldorado by Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)

Duration: 1:19
MP3 URL: https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/spc215_eldorado_cv_128kb.mp3
Hope it's alright, thanks. =)

Amazing! Thank you, Caio!
I have two requests if possible. The volume is somewhat soft at 80dB, while we aim for 89. Would you amplify by 9dB?
Then the ending silence felt a bit long. Would you cut it down to 5 seconds?

No problem. Thanks for telling me about the volume -- and btw, the topic [ viewtopic.php#6430 ] is currently unreachable.
And also, can you tell me which kind of analyzer do you use? I mean, is it 80db in loudness, lufs, or what? I want to use the correct type of VST to check on my end here. Because if I boost the whole poem's master track by 9db, the audio peaks +3db and +0.4db in two moments. And that causes distortion, so I want to control that to avoid such thing.
Thanks,

Thank you! I've fixed the link to viewtopic.php?p=6427#6430
Volume target of 89dB is about -18 to -20 lufs. I checked again now, and yes the track has some peaks that would not allow amplification without clipping. Maybe you can use compression or de-amplify those peaks before amplifying? Acceptable range is 86-92dB, so you could get away with an amplification of 6dBs if that's more realistic.

Hello Rapunzelina,
So I've downloaded the 'checker' software to track the dbs.
17.5 lufs ended up with 87.5 dbs, so I turned it up a little bit more to reach 88 and something. =)
Here's the information again:
Eldorado by Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)

Catalogue Name: Caio Varalta (I think it has the register already).

Please let me know if everything is alright.
Glad to contribute again,

Hi Rapunzelina,
As promised, I'm getting my poems in earlier this month. A couple of notes: Cushions First is in Chapter CCLX of the Twain biography and An Earth Song is on page 170 of The new Negro (thought they might be a little hard to locate).
