This is the new recording with the feedback given! My name is Maria Agustina Von.
Hi Maria!

The recording is clear of background noise now But the bit rate is still variable.

If you're using Audacity, you can set this when exporting as mp3. Check the Format Options (in the Export window) and choose "Constant" for Bit Rate Mode, and "128 kbps" for Quality. Or are you using a different software?

I am using Audacity and it is already set at 128 kbps! I will check the constant for bit rate now but the 128 kbps is correct

Welcome to the Poetry Collection and thank you for offering your recording! It is PL OK! Don't worry about the filename, I can fix it. Shall I change the initials to ml (from Moon Lylith) or would you like something else?

ml is great for my initials, thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you, M, Amanda, Joanna, Nathan!

All good with your recordings and marked PL OK in the Magic Window.

Hi Alex! Welcome to the Poetry Collection! The reading is lovely! The tech specs will need fixing: when exporting your file, set Bit-rate Mode to "Constant" and Quality to "128 kbps". Volume needs a bit of amplification in both recordings, and the filename for Fire and Ice needs the _128kb ending.

That's great! You can submit up to three poems each month
