Sue - all is well with it. Chapter 10 - Lightfoot in the Woods - PL OK.

So you know, the difference in volume between the background noise in your recording and your voice is almost 51 dB - really quite good.
All the chapters in Lightfoot are claimed but you'll find lots of other chapters in other books just as fun. :-)

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback about the volume.... so can I take this to mean that my room acoustics, mic placement, and gain setting are good and I shouldn't mess with them? Or are there still things I should try to help my audio? I feel like a lot of mouth clicks get picked up in the middle of words where I have my gain set at. Were they noticeable to you?

Thanks, Sue

Sue -

Yes, your room and mic arrangement sound just fine. Your gain setting could be around 1.5 dB lower but your chapter was easily in the LibriVox range so that's nothing to worry about.

We're all fussy about the way our own voice sounds on a playback. Mouth clicks? In your voice? Nah; listen to my voice if you want to hear mouth clicks.

The important things I'm not hearing from your setup:
I'm not hearing plosives; blowing into the mic on 'p' or 't' sounds
I'm not hearing the jackhammer factory next door
I'm not hearing any echoey "I'm recording this in a tiled bathroom" sound

Summary: carry on and record a lot.

[silverquill]

I second that, Sue! Your recordings here and other projects where I've listened are just fine.

[slgill]

Rich and Larry,

Thank you for your replies! It's nice to know that my set-up is good and that the mouth clicks I hear on playback drive only me nuts and no other listeners! Ha!

I appreciate y'all's feedback! Off to record some more!

Aric - two small changes:

1) The filename needs to be in all lower case, so - lightfoot_11_barnum_128kb.mp3
2) You should leave half a second to a full second of silence at the beginning of the recording - half a second is ideal.

Please edit a bit of silence onto the very beginning of the recording, rename the file in all lower case and upload it again. Everything else about the recording is just fine.

And I have marked it PL OK. Thanks Aric.
You have some minor mic popping here and there in the chapter - which might be prevented in the future by moving the microphone a bit off to the side so your P and T sounds don't have you puffing directly at it.

We are down to two chapters left.

Section 5 Lightfoot in the Park is now open.

We may have another one open in a few days as the deadline approaches.

Well, silly old me will volunteer for it. I can't pass up Lightfoot.
