PL NOTES SECTION 33

13:50 and 14:03 repeat "The coat, the all-important, must be long - the longer the better -- from seven to eleven inches on a dog standing no more than seven inches high at shoulder,"

Overall volume OK at 89.3, but it stairsteps up as the recording progresses, noticeably increasing at 7:33. Not sure why this occurs (happens to me too), maybe your distance from the mike? No need to correct on this file but just making you aware of it. And if you do wish to correct, it's easy enough in Audacity to experiment with the Amplify Effect in +1 or -1 increments. One day I'll master the Normalize Effect too. :roll:

Great line: "A dog needs a court costume as much as a man, if he is to be presented to royalty!"

Section 27 PL Notes

Wow, Colleen. 45 minutes of tedious recording, and only one PL Note!

16:28 repeat "Unfortunately"

No problem at all with the background noise that you seemed concerned about. Wonderful job! :clap:

In summary, we now have only 7 sections remaining Open out of 49 - 6/7th of the way through. Two of them are short enough for newbies to cut their teeth on, the others are considerably longer. Let's see if we can attract some experienced readers to grab the longer sections and help me finish up this project. It's been going on since March 2017!!

Well, that's a relief! I'll get that fixed and posted later today.

Section 33 corrected. Repeat removed. Had a go at matching the volume by increasing it a bit for first 7:33, hopefully I didn't just switch the problem to now being a decrease in volume! :p

File duration now shorter at 17:07

Section 33 is PL OK. Thanks Hayley. Volume is still stair-stepped but not so noticeably and well within range. :thumbs:

Hello, may I record section 43, The Italian Greyhound?

This will be my first recording. I'd like my catalog name to be Natalia Cox.

I read the post thoroughly, but there is a lot of information to take in on LibriVox! I believe I know what I'm doing, but it seems like everyone is responsive to questions, should I have any.

Hello, Natalia! I've assigned you Section 43, and put your name in out catalog. I look forward to listening, and so glad to have you on the project.
All you need to do is read the First Post carefully and follow all the directions there as to what to say for your Intro, Outro, what to name your file and where to upload it. Then be sure to post the link and file length in this thread so I'll know to listen. Your first recording. How exciting!

Subject: fox terrier chap 22

There is a huge multi-page linage chart which I don't know how to record.
I'm inclined to say only "And here in the original is found a family tree of this breed". and leave it at that.

Please give me your guidance.


I don't know how to include a JPG image in this message otherwise I'd show you what I'm talking about.
