COMPLETE [MEDICINE/ART/MINERALS]Natural History, Volume 7, by Pliny the Elder - Leni
PL Notes for section 26
Hi and welcome to Librivox. Your reading is great there are just some edits needed please. If you are using Audacity you can do the following.
The bit rate should be 128 kbps. When you export the file change ‘quality’ to 128kbps.
The recording should use a constant bit rate. When you export the file change ‘bit rate mode’ to ‘constant’
The recording should be in mono not stereo
The volume is 96dB, which is too high. We aim for between 86 - 92dB, but ideally we would like it to be at 89 dB.
In Audacity you will also find the option to amplify under 'effects'.
How to amplify in Audacity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_z607awyLw
If you like, you can use the checker tool to verify volume and other settings https://cgjennings.ca/projects/checker/
There should be between 0.5 and 1 second of silence at the beginning of the file it is currently shorter than this
There should be 5 seconds of silence at the end of the file it is currently shorter than this
At the beginning of the file you need to follow what is written in the first post of this project. Please can you record the following at the beginning of the file.
"Section 26 of The Natural History, volume 7. - This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit: librivox DOT org"
If you wish, say:
"Recording by [your name]"
Say:
" The Natural History, volume 7, by Pliny the Elder . Translated by John Bostock and Henry Thomas Riley. Section 26 Book 35, Chapters 43 to 49
There is some background noise which detracts from the reading and should be removed please. To do this in Audacity.
Step 1 - Select a piece of background noise
Select a piece of background noise (no speech, breaths or other noises) in your audio.
In Menu click: Effect > Noise Reduction... A dialog will pop up.
Click "Get Noise Profile" The dialog box will close instantly.
Step 2 - Noise Reduction
Press CTRL-A / Command-A to select your complete recording.
In Menu click: Effect > Noise Reduction... again. Note: don't select "Repeat Noise Reduction" -- that instantly applies the default settings; you want to adjust the settings and preview the results before you apply the noise filters.
Set Noise Reduction (dB) to 12
Set sensitivity to 6.00
Set frequency smoothing bands to 3
Choose Noise: Reduce
Click ok
Please could you carry out the edits then upload the file using the same file name and post in this thread. If you need any more help please just ask. Thanks
