[COMPLETE]When They Were Children, by Amy Steedman - icequeen

[icequeen]

Section 24 needs the volume reduced, then it will be perfect! The volume is currently at 102.1 dB, and we need that to be around 89 dB. It needs to be reduced by 13dB to get the volume close to that target.

Hi, I've reposted https://librivox.org/uploads/icequeen/whentheywerechildren_24_steedman_128kb.mp3
I think it's OK
If not, would you (or someone else here!) be able to help me get it right? It's a bit trial-and-error at the moment...

Cheers

Hi Again. Thanks for the tip\reminder about the Checker: it was invaluable.
This now sits at 89.3 apparently!

Oh, good! I am glad that I was able to help you, you are very welcome! Now, section 24 has a volume of 89.3 dB, is PL OK! Thanks Paul!

Here is Section 11 for Samuel Johnson. The length is 10:35.

After recording and listening to the entire section, I realized that, on p. 80, the word "spot" was replaced with the word "place". If I need to go back in to fix it, I can.

Here is section 21:

I'll watch for any PL notes.

I'm sure that it will be fine. I don't follow the text when I listen, and, if a word makes sense, that I won't notice it. Thank you!

Hi! I have a quick question about labeling files.

When naming a file, do we need to include a zero (0) if the number is above 9? I wasn't sure and left the 0 out of my first submissions, but I want to make sure I have the right form moving forward.

Is it whentheywerechildren_32_steedman_12kb.mp3 OR whentheywerechildren_032_steedman_12kb.mp3?

Thanks for your help!

Apologies for they delay, here is Section 20 for Sir Walter Scott (17:42):

It takes a bit longer to record, re-do mistakes, etc than I would have thought for what is essentially just a few pages. Please let me know if there is anything I need to change or forgot to do, as this is my first recording.

The only time we need to add that extra zero (i.e. having three digits in the file name) is when the number of sections goes over 100. Since we are under 100, we only need two digits, so the first that you have it is correct.

Yes, that is very true! Most people who have never recorded an audiobook do not have any idea the amount of time that goes into doing this crazy hobby. I have seen it estimated that it takes 2-3 times the duration of a finished section to record it. And, it is probably longer than that for someone who is new. So, for a 30 minute section, it probably took the person at least an hour to record and then edit. But, it does get better once you develop a routine. Thank you for your section, I will let you know how you did as soon as I can!

Section 11 is PL OK! Very nice job for your first recording!

Section 21 is PL OK!
