While I appreciate your enthusiasm, please do not just upload and post a recording before requesting/claiming to record that particular section and having it acknowledged and assigned. This is the prescribed procedure as outlined in our instructions. It just results in confusion as it has in this case with someone requesting this section because it is listed as open in the Magic Window.

I will go ahead and accept this, however, if you first correct the technical errors which should have been taken care of in your test recording.

1) The bit rate is incorrect You have this in ~121 kbps (variable) We require 128 kbps constant
When you export set the "Quality" at 128 in the drop down menu, and check the "Bit rate mode" as "Constant"
2 The volume is fare too low, at only 82.5 dB Our target volume is 89 dB with an acceptable range of 86-92 dB
3. The opening silence is too long. We need only 0.5-1.0 seconds, no more. (Ending silence is good at ~ 5 sec.)

If you need more help with any of this, let us know; we are here to help you get off to a good start.

Upload your corrected recording under the same file name an post the link here again.

The good news is the the sample i listened to was very good, and I think you have a good future here. Once you have these technical issue in hand, you can relax and enjoy recording, and we'll enjoy listening!

All the best!

hank you for your interest in this project.
We do, however, request that our new readers first complete a one-minute test recording to check out all of your technical specifications and any reading issues.

New to recording? Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!

Among the useful information there you will find instructions for completing your test recording. Once you have the "OK" on that, post again here and you are free to record for this project. Choose any open section since a recording cam in for this chapter just ahead of yours.

Let us know how you would like to be credited in the LibriVox catalog - real name, pseudonym or other nickname.
