I would like to claim Chapters 52, 53 and 54
Hi Shasta,

All three have noticeable background noise. This is fairly easy to reduce; this page should be useful.

I also have some notes for each one:

Chapter 48:

15:24 (not required): 'imprudently' should be 'impudently', but they do have similar meanings, so I'll let you decide if you think it's worth re-recording.
16:19: The ending silence is too short. It should be 5 seconds long, but you've only got 2.7 seconds

Chapter 50:

19:08: The ending silence is too short. It should be 5 seconds long, but you've only got 2.8 seconds

Chapter 51:

10:17: 'hall' should be 'ball'
28:40: The ending silence is too short. It should be 5 seconds long, but you've only got 2.8 seconds

EDIT: Ooh, forgot to mention. The file names of Chapters 50 and 51 are wrong. They should use 'marryat', not 'marrayat'.

Here is corrected Chapter 51

I have changed "hall" to "ball" and lenghened the terminal silence to 5 seconds.

My noise problem is attributable to the fan in my iMac. It runs almost continuously and so far I have been unable figure out a way to shut it off while I am recording. Of course, I don't want the computer to overheat. I may try to shield my microphone from the computer in some way, but I'm not optimistic.

Here is corrected Chapter 48

https://librivox.org/uploads/carolin/petersimple_48_marryat_128kb.mp3 Time: 14:45.5

I have tried to reduce the noise for all three Chapters, 48, 50 and 51. I could try to reduce it further but I am concerned that at some point it will adversely affect the recorded voice.

Hi Shasta,

Before I do the PLing proper I need to point out that you're missing Chapter 50.

You linked twice to https://librivox.org/uploads/carolin/petersimple_48_marryat_128kb.mp3, and what you said was Chapter 50 (https://librivox.org/uploads/carolin/petersimple_50_marryat_128kb.mp3) is actually Chapter 51.

Here, if we're lucky, is Chapter 50, with the corrected silence time at the end.

I apologize for messing up the chapter numbers. Do I need to do anything else, at this point?

You need to re-upload Chapter 51 at https://librivox.org/uploads/carolin/petersimple_51_marryat_128kb.mp3. There's currently no file with that name.

https://librivox.org/uploads/carolin/petersimple_51_marryat_128kb.mp3 Time28:47

Voice recording ends at 28:40, track ends at 28:47. I assume that this slightly more than qualifies for 5 seconds of silence at the end. If not, I will be happy to add more.
