These are the settings I used for the noise reduction sliders:
Noise Reduction slider: 14
Sensitivity slider: 6.00
Frequency smoothing slider: 3.00
I'm still learning how to best use all of the settings on Audacity (I'm pretty new to Librivox :D ) so I didn't want to make the mistake of over-cleaning.
I did save a separate version of the Audacity file before I did noise reduction so if needed, I can redo it with different settings.
This sounds great! I have only a few notes about minor word changes that I mention because they result in a change of meaning:

- At 2:18, "to her home," you say "to her new home."
- At 17:29, "to see the devil leap out upon," you say "to see the devil leap upon."

As for the slight rushing sound, I wouldn't have noticed it at all if I hadn't been listening for it, and even then it was hard to catch. But we're our own worst critic, so I understand your being curious about it! By any chance in the process of editing did you import the .mp3 into Audacity multiple times? If so, that might be causing the background noise you're hearing. Something I learned a while back is that, since .mp3 is a lossy format, importing files in that format into Audacity multiple times can cause the file to become degraded. I learned this the hard way when I did a lot of editing to a file. :lol: A way to avoid this is to save the file as .wav (a lossless format) and use that to edit from, and then when you're ready to upload the file you can save it as an .mp3.

Again, the noise-cleaning level and sound clarity on this sound very nice, and the very slight noise you mentioned is nothing at all to worry about! If the .mp3 vs. .wav issue is applicable to your editing process, it's just something to keep in mind for future recordings. I hope this is helpful!

Chapter 9 sounds great! I have just one note about a word change that affects the meaning of the sentence: at 0:48, "pleasantly aware," you say "presently aware."

Chapter 25 @ 13:22

https://librivox.org/uploads/linny/wayofaneagle_25_dell_128kb.mp3
Chapter 25 sounds great! The only note I have is that at 4:48, "I want you to go to him," you say "I want to go to him."

Sorry about that!
No worries, I appreciate your making the change! You're all set with the line at 0:48, but I noticed that at the very beginning, "Chapter 9 of The Way of an Eagle" is missing. I see that the time for your file is 11:46, and the file I've downloaded is 11:43, so if you're still hearing the chapter identification in your file, it could be that something got lost in the shuffle in the uploading process. I seem to remember that that's something that happens occasionally, though I might be misunderstanding.
