Thank you, Daryl! Both of your recordings are loaded into the MW for our prooflistener. Sure appreciate your contributions!
Yes, I very well remember being completely bewildered when I was new in LibrVox. All the information and procedures and specs that seem run-of-the-mill and quite clear to me now were a dizzying array of "stuff". So don't worry one bit about any confusion.
There's a nice division of work in LV that cuts down on mistakes, since different eyes review things. As BC (book coordinator), I load the links and supporting information into the MW and toggle the working cue for the prooflistener, and I'll communicate with readers as they post files or questions, and I coordinate section requests and keep overall track of making sure requests that don't get fulfilled are extended or opened up for new readers, depending on where we are in the project and communications with the original requester.
As our book's DPL (dedicated prooflistener), tac107 will check the recordings that get listed in the MW for correct specifications and listen from beginning to end to catch any edits that are needed. She'll toggle the work cue for the reader's attention and post notes about changes that might be needed (or let you know that it is PL OK and toggle the section as such).
MCs (meta coordinator) oversee the project as it's being worked on, answer questions from the BC, DPL, or readers if they see them first or the BC is unsure of an answer, and they do the work to upload the finalized files and the book information to Archive so that the audiobook gets released to the public. You won't generally see them "talk" a lot in the discussion boards, since they run a lot of projects, but they keep a close eye on discussions, as I always get a fast response if I post a question to them. Each MC has their own upload folder so that the files for the projects they're overseeing are all in their virtual workspace. They have magic abilities where they can even pull past files out of the nether for us in unusual situations, so long as they were correctly filed in their MC folder! I actually think I remeber an MC getting a file from another MC once, that had been uploaded to the wrong MC folder. They are mystical beings, our MCs!
I think it's all pretty cool and efficient, once you're familiar with the system.
We're really happy to have you with us here in LibriVox. I promise everything gets simpler as your exposure time increases. (Same with recording/editing - it gets easier as you go along)
Section 19 is loaded for our DPL
