I had more trouble with audio in section 24 than any of my previous recordings, and I'm not sure why. The noise reduction just didn't seem to work as well, until I did it a second time. And there were some weird low-pitched sounds at several points that I have no idea where they were coming from... I did my best to get rid of those, but don't know if I got them all. If anything needs to be re-recorded I understand.

PL notes for sections 10 and 11

The file goes from very low to very high volume and could do with some compression to help even this out.

To do this follow the video below which is created by Phil Chenevert and is easy to follow. Once you have carried out compression you will then be able to amplify the file to the correct dB.

Please could you carry out the edits then upload the file using the same file name. If you need any more help please just ask. Thanks

PL notes for section chapter 24

There should be between 0.5-1 second of silence at the beginning of the file. It is currently longer than this

The volume is 84dB which is too low. We aim for between 86-92 dB but ideally we would like it to be at 89 dB.
In Audacity you will also find the option to amplify under 'effects'.
How to amplify in Audacity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_z607awyLw
If you like you can use the checker tool to verify volume and other settings.

Please could you carry out the edits then upload the file using the same file name. Thanks

Sorry about that. I hope this version is acceptable - Checker now says it's 88.9 dB, which was as much amplifying as Audacity would let me do without clipping. If you do need it a bit louder, I can search through the file to see where the highest peaks are and take them down a bit so that then the whole thing can be amplified more.

The length is now 32:07.

Hi that is now PL OK
One way to get rid of the spikes in Audacity is to carry out compression.

To do this follow the video below which is created by Phil Chenevert and is easy to follow.

Ran both through the Compressor tool, thanks for the tip, and video.

I didn't amplify them, and the checker still shows them as being just over 90dB, so hopefully still OK. Let me know if they need more compression, I just used the default values, as suggested in the Video.
