I tried to open it from the link in the post, as well as from MW. I only got the version of 19:46 long, not 19:27.

Please double-check the uploading. I'd love to listen to your recordings, Czandra!

Regards,
Jessie
At this point, it might be best to listen to it and see if there are any errors. If not, the run time in the Magic Window can be adjusted, and it's done. :)

feedback on this 19:49 (it is not 19:46 long, not 19:27, either) recording for Section #76:
0:28 - 0:49 is supposed to be at the beginning of part one of Chapter 18, but the reader read it here. In other words, you please trim it off from this section.
11:56 the text "viz." is read as "namely" if you feel acceptable

I did not see any problem at 9:46 or around there. The reading is nicely done, as Czandra always did. Pity that she couldn't respond to this section and fully finish it. I sincerely hope she may have time to read for other projects at librivox, though.

Or, in other words, if the extra reading during 0:28 - 0:49 is trimmed off, everything is all right with this section. Therefore the reader Czandra might actually finish everything on her own computer but uploaded the version with the extra part still there. Anyway, many thanks for taking care of this, Wolfi!

Regards,
Jessie
heyho,

uploaded section 76:

https://librivox.org/uploads/triciag/laydownarms_76_suttner_128kb.mp3
Track Length
19:26,79 (m:ss.ss)

what i did:
1. i cut the intro
2. as checker noted a big amount of background noise and the need for amplifying, i tried to edit it carefully.
3. the file was full of clipping marks and had sort of a metallic athmosphere i think..
this is now better,i hope.
4. to read viz. instead of paraphrasing it is ok for me - and the contrary, to read a paraphrasing for some of the english abbreviations, is also ok for me. so i didn't edit that,

i hope, it suits your taste, jessie :-)

cheers

PL note:

It is PL OK with this new 19:26 version. Many thanks for your efforts!
I hope by next month I can be familiar with the checker and start to use it when I do content PL. (I am also confused by those constant metallic noises)

Regards,
Jessie

PL note:

I am awfully sorry for the slow reply to your two sections, 64 and 65, dear Nancy!

I listened to all four sections, 62-65, and I am sorry to tell you that you read the content of section 62 for section 64 and the content for 63 as section 65.

The two sections 62 and 63 are already done by other readers and are both PL OK. Thus, we can not take your two readings and ask you to just change the section numbers in your reading. Please read the two sections again and I will not delay my listening for you.

Regards,
Jessie

Again, very sorry that the content is from section 63 while you correctly announced it as section 65. Please read this section again and I will listen for you asap.

first: big thx to both of you!
second: i'm feeling so sorry... german saying: mistakes happen to the best(, also) - meaning, that even the best are not flawless.
and to utter something, hoping to motivate...
i hope, it does :? :)

Sorry for my very late reply. I did not ever try to edit a file yet. You please go ahead and take care of it.
Many thanks,

Hi Barbara!

Thank you for the update!

I do feel it is not very smooth at 11:47 between "on" and "other". Can we possibly make it sound more natural like you read the whole sentence with no interruption?

And I also find another spot, could you please remove the extra? At 5:13 extra "on all" in "and ON ALL the roads, black figures walking ..."

Many thanks for your patience and contribution!

Regards,
Jessie

thank you!

wolfi

sent per pm, also
for the records: no answer by pm or forum.

PL note:

Section 30 (7:45) is PL OK. Many thanks for your contribution!

In case I still have difficulty finding your post for section 29, I'd rather confirm here, also, that Section 29 (10:25) is PL OK.

Regards,
Jessie

Section 29 (10:25) is PL OK. But I am somehow having problems finding the post in which you uploaded it. Sorry for the duplicate message about Section 29, which is PL OK.

Regards,
Jessie
