Nice to see that you're back. We'll wait and see what people say about the technical specs for the recording, and then I'll assign the section to you.

I can already see a couple of issues:
You need to use 'constant bitrate', not variable when you export.
The bitrate needs to be 128kbps.
You need to export in mono (In audacity: select your track click the down arrow next to the track name, select 'Split Stereo to Mono' and then delete one of the two tracks)
Here is my fixed settings test with the review.

Hi timdebe,

Looks like you're ready to record some things for LV!
In the past few months, this project has filled up and we've got readers for all sections. If you wanted to take section 49 or 53 from me, I'm happy to give them up to you.

Otherwise, you could have a dig around this forum and see what takes your fancy: viewforum.php?f=2

Hello,

I am finished with the creeds of christendom 65. The whole thing ended up being (1:13:20) just shy of the 74 minute limit.

I did my best with the various tricky words with the resources I possessed. Also, I recorded it in a more informational tone which I was told was preferred as well as applied the post edits as requested. I look forward to hearing what you think of this recording.

Thank you for your time!

I've finished listening to this one. Well done on such a long section and especially if it is usuing terminology that is outside your own tradition - you did spectacularly well. The audio quality is very good and the edits are seamless.

One comment I would make is that the volume is within the range we ask for (86-92 dB but it's a low 86). It's not a problem but if you want to bring to up to 89 for future recordings, that would be even better. If you're using a recent version of Audacity, you can use the Loudness Normalization effect sect to -19 LUFS.

Section 65 PL Notes:
0:15 Extra word in the disclaimer ('made'). "All Librivox recordings are in the public domain." is the disclaimer we use.
7:16 You said 'calamity' instead of 'calumny'
28:33 You said 'version' instead of 'verse'
41:39 You said 'trans-substinated' instead of 'transubstantiated' (you got it right at the top of the page)
54:11 You said 'though' instead of 'through'
1:11:41 Repeat beginning "And let it not be"
1:11:50 Repeat beginning "That unjustly"

Here are the updated files with the requested changes. I also cleaned up some of the transitions throughout the files when I heard the opportunity.

I'm sorry for missing this! All the changes that are made have to be PLed - do you have timestamps for me to look at? Or was it just subtracting things rather than re-recording?

The timestamps should be similar to the ones you gave me to rerecord as I did not delete sections but rather small, empty spaces in between the tracks. Hope this helps!
