[COMPLETE] World's Best Poetry, Vol. 9 (Part I) - kit

[WiltedScribe]

Thank you, guys. I've updated the MW with all your submissions. It appears Sonia has had a very busy weekend, so she'll listen to them soon. It might take a few days to get caught up, so hold tight!

PL NOTES:

SECTION 37 - The Three Fishers by Charles Kingsley

Just one thing on this one. The silence at the end is about 8.3s and should be about 5s.

Hey Anthony, do you have Leanne's notes for section 45? I think you forgot to post them, and she'd like to know what to fix.

Thank you, guys. I've updated the MW with all your submissions. It appears Sonia has had a very busy weekend, so she'll listen to them soon. It might take a few days to get caught up, so hold tight!

thank you, Tomas, yes indeed this weekend wasn't easy. But I am catching up. I think there will be a lot to assemble here though, so I would be really really grateful if someone could give me a hand with that. Those interested please post which sections you would like to help with.

Leanne, I haven't listened to any of your sections yet, but already I can say, they all failed the checker because of the wrong sampling rate (48,000 instead of 44,100) I see your solo recordings are ok, so I wonder why Audacity keeps switching the rate

Also the volume is much too loud in many of them, but that will be regulated anyway in assembling. Anyway, don't do anything yet, I'll PL them first.

Stay tuned !

Thanks for the PL, Sonia. Here are the corrections!

thank you Tomas, both PL ok now

ok Leanne, I listened to all your DR bits now and textually they are all PL ok and of course appropriately well acted out.

So now I don't know...I think I could also convert them to the correct sampling when I assemble, since I have to open the files anyway... Let's I won't make any distortion of sound (I had that once before when I tried )

But still, it would be good if you found out what is causing the changes in sample rate all the time. Maybe post the question in the help thread. There's always someone more tech-savvy about who might know an easy answer to it.

Thanks ! And I hope you recover well soon.

I drive through Liskeard, past St Keynes Church and well, every couple of weeks. I had no idea how great the water was (In fact I didn't know it was there.). I shall be filling a couple of containers, trying it out on my wife and selling it on Ebay. I'm going to make a fortune!!!!

I see you are quite a man of resources

the text was so hilarious and you did the villager so well. I hope you put on a genuine Cornwall villager accent here

I may be wrong here, but I think there may have been a word missing ('hair'). Not sure how to check it with the original text. So I have included it in case you need it.

hm I think the text makes perfectly sense without the hair as well. She put the feather about herself (somewhere, not necessarily the hair).

I'll think about it and check with another text before assembling.

in any case all 4 sections PL ok and excellently funnily acted out.

Genuine Cornish accent 'me luver'. Though I doubt any Cornishman would agree.

It wasn't really the sense of the text, there seemed to be a jarring break in the rhythm. I'm sure it's my mistake, so don't waste time on it.
Cheers

ok as you can see in the MW, 6 sections are ready to edit:

2, 6, 10, 23, 35 and 53.

I will not do them straightaway, hoping I may get some help along with some of them. If interested, please post the number you're going to assemble, so the work won't be done twice.

I'll do the rest tomorrow then.

Thanks

Sonia

Hi Sonia,
I'll try my hand at editing 53.

[Kitty]

Hi Sonia,
I'll try my hand at editing 53.

thank you, Foon I'll put your name in the MW

Be careful with Leanne's file ! She has the wrong sample rate, you need to convert it first. And also check the volume in both your recordings, so you sound a bit similar

If this one's OK, I'll take another.

I didn't check with the text now, I let Anthony do the final PL, but I had a listen in to check for spacing and volume and yes, it sounds excellent to me. The voices flow nicely into each other.

Was this your first editing job ? You're good at it

Thank you

Sonia

[Foon]

Thank you Yes, it was the first time editing different voices together.
I'll take a bigger one now, #10.

[Kitty]

yay, thank you. I'll put it in.

Bigger is not necessarily more difficult, although it's more fiddling about with many open Audacity windows. But if you don't have to merge voices, it's not so difficult

Sonia

[Foon]

Nah, not more difficult... But more work to take off your plate I figured I'd first try on a quick one how much time it'd take me!
