Thanks, PL OK now.
I still hear the background sound (13:48, to give you one specific example, in the space between words here it is clear). But I don't think you need to do anything for this section. Just hoping you might be able to ID the source so you can avoid it in the future.

Well, that was kind of icky, wasn't it? Nice reading, though. I just found one small thing.czandra wrote: ↑January 20th, 2022, 11:40 am https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/beyondthevanishingpoint_05_cummings_128kb.mp3

Hi. I've re-uploaded section 5 twice with correction, but the link still has "vast". I don't know where the new uploads go.

I asked my librarian about the noise, and she said, "no one would come here
if they weren't allowed to talk out loud." So I read out loud.

Yes, I picked up that sound. I'm so used to it I hardly hear it anymore. It's my computer fan. I usually do a noise reduction to control it, but I understand the only way I can get around it is to use an external mic. Not there yet.
Thanks. Czandra

If you use the same name it replaces the original, but you are right, I still hear vast. Are you sure it is uploading correctly? Make sure you get the hyperlink after the upload (if you got logged out, it looks like it's uploading and then gives a weird error at the end, so you may need to log in again.)

I found the problem. I had two dots in the title before mp3. The link should now contain the new version.

Thank you very much for your reading. I hear a number of stumbles in the reading, which should be editted. Please see the notes below. There were a few less obvious ones which I did not mention, but in general, you should aim to edit out/correct any stumbles during your reading/editing process.copyhatter wrote: ↑January 21st, 2022, 2:42 pm Here is chapter 7, let me know if this one's good.
