Hello there,

It seems my Section 93 recording is not showing in the MW for proof-listening. Is my link not working properly?

PL Notes for section 20

The bit rate should be 128 kbps. When you export the file change ‘quality’ to 128kbps.

The recording should use a constant bit rate. When you export the file change ‘bit rate mode’ to ‘constant’

There should be 0.5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning of the file it is currently longer than this.

There should be 5 seconds of silence at the end of the file it is currently longer than this.

00:38 missing line
by Edward Abbott Parry

The filename is incorrect and should be as follows

turquoisestorybook_20_skinner_128kb

If you could carry out the edits and upload using the correct filename that would be great

PL Notes for section 59

There should be 0.5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning of the file it is currently shorter than this.

There should be 5 seconds of silence at the end of the file it is currently shorter than this.

The volume is 95dB, which is too high. We aim for between 86 - 92dB, but ideally we would like it to be at 89 dB.
In Audacity you will also find the option to amplify under 'effects'.
How to amplify in Audacity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_z607awyLw
If you like, you can use the checker tool to verify volume and other settings https://cgjennings.ca/projects/checker/

Please could you carry out the edits then upload the file using the same file name and post in this thread. If you need any more help please just ask. Thanks
