Check - not forgotten, just slow (and being distracted by PLing duties!

)

Here is my section finally, duration is 28:52
I can't say I'm happy with it, but...

Section 19: The reading's great, but we need to notch the volume up a bit. ReplayGain is suggesting that it needs to be amplified by 3.7dB; you've only got 1.5dB of headroom though before you start clipping so you'll probably need a little light compression too.

Wow, indeed no other comments!

I was kind of waiting for a looong list to correct.

Feel relieved!!!
Thanks for catching the volume! Volume amplified and file re-uploaded.

Sorry to disappoint you. I did listen carefully - honest!

Volume amplified and file re-uploaded.

Spot PL OK.

Cheers,
Paul

Section 18: https://librivox.org/uploads/triciag/arabiannightsvolume10_18_anonymous_128kb.mp3

Urgh! My French is rustier than I thought it was. I'll need to brush it up a bit before going there on holiday in a few weeks...

Thank youuuuu! I'm a bit swamped and away from home at the moment, but I'll try to squeeze some PLing in as soon as I can, so we can get this baby catalogued!

Marvellous reading, Paul! I find Burton's trashing of other editions hilarious

No comments on the reading itself, however, I noticed that all throughout the section there are instances of clipping, and the distortion is audible. Could you run it through a round of compression and reupload?

SkyRider · Post by **SkyRider** » July 25th, 2019, 6:07 am

Thanks, Foon. I can't hear any clipping on my copy, but in case the file got damaged somehow in transit I've remastered it. I've also fed it through a decrackle filter in case what you're picking up on is the pollen-induced fry that I always get at hayfever time.

Duration etc unchanged.

I did a quick download and listen to the last section, and it seems OK to me. Are we ready to catalog, Foon?

Foon · Post by **Foon** » July 27th, 2019, 1:02 pm

Thank you Tricia! I'm on low key holidays at the moment, and I'm having very little computer time... Thought I'd be able to listen sooner. Yes, if it sounds good to you, I'm very happy for us to head to the catalogue!!

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/the-book-of-the-thousand-nights-and-a-night-volume-10-by-anonymous/
