If they're good, that will be it for me until Volume 3. :D
thank you Tomas, the Children's crusade was read with so much emotion, my eyes watered a bit while listening. :( Beautiful poem about a very tragic part of history.

Luckily the Poe story was quite funny on the other hand :mrgreen: Those young princes seem to be up for mischief all the time. Just this morning I listened to the other two stories by the same author. He seems to have been a teacher at their court.

Section 113 is already PL ok.

one PL note for 72:

> at 7:40: (p. 397): missing part of sentence: “That is one reason, monsieur

thanks ! And I definitely hope to count on your for Volume III :9:

great achievement for your April challenge, Jo :thumbs: I loved listening to your quiet narrative voice :9: And these short sections are always a pleasure to listen to. Bitesize knowledge - love it ! I had to laugh when I heard that the clothes were more Renaissance period and not at all from the time of Alexander the Great. That's the first thing I thought when I had a look at the painting before I listened to your section. :lol:

Almost flawless run-through. Sections 67, 71, 78 and 98 are PL ok.

Only one tiny note for 89:

> at 0:12: could you also please insert the page number “an Assyrian bas-relief, p. 474

thank you, mission wonderfully accomplished. I hope you were happy with your challenge.

for Section 73:

> 92.5 dB - please decrease volume by 3 dB
> concerning the end-silence. We usually require a standard of 5 seconds of silence at the end. You come close to 7 seconds, so if you wouldn't mind, you could also trim a bit there at the end

for Section 74:

> 93.1 dB - please decrease volume by 3 dB


I will fix these tonight. Thank you for your support and kind words. :D

I will claim those last 4 sections (21,30,32,35) if no one else has.

And this is mine: https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/worldstory_volume02_072_tappan_128kb.mp3 (13:06)

Regarding the DR, I must've amplified the file to better hear the volume discrepancies and forgot to apply Replay Gain before exporting. :| I promise I am not always this forgetful LOL. This is my second week at the new work, and the fatigue after coming home continues to wreak havoc, it seems. :oops:

don't worry about it, Tomas :) I am sorry though, that the work is tiring you out. Well, I hope you can recuperate a bit over the weekend. As for this section, it's nicely patched and PL ok as well.

Thanks

Second try....

https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/worldstory_volume02_073_tappan_128kb.mp3 8:36 (89.1 dB and cut end to 5 seconds silence)

https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/worldstory_volume02_074_tappan_128kb.mp3 8:41 (89.7 dB)


I found the Checker program so I can check the files for dB level before I upload them. :)

thank you Kevin, yes these two are now totally PL ok. :thumbs:

Yes Checker is a great tool to check your technical specs beforehand. And if you want another great plug-in for Audacity to assess by how much you need to amplify before you even export to mp3, I can recommend ReplayGain. It saves you the time to export, check with checker and reopen the file in audacity to amplify and export once again.
Replay Gain plugin for Audacity: - http://forum.audacityteam.org/download/file.php?id=4668

1. Save the file to your computer - your desktop or somewhere where you can easily find it.
2. Now browse to the folder in which Audacity is installed. It's probably in C:\Program Files\Audacity) and then open the Plug-Ins folder.
3. Drag the file you saved into the Plug-Ins folder.
4. When next you start up Audacity, you will be able to select the whole recording (Ctrl+A on Windows), then go to Analyze | ReplayGain, and it'll tell you how much to amplify your file to get to about 89 dB.
:)
