Wonderful reading, Jim! Just a couple notes:
- There's just a *tiny* bit of white noise in the background that could stand to be eliminated (I attached a helpful tutorial below if you've never done this before).
- In the intro, please only say the chapter number once so that all our intros are uniform. To be perfectly clear, for this particular chapter, please say, "Chapter 61 of A Rough Shaking... A Rough Shaking, by George MacDonald. A Walk with Consequences."
Thank you!

Thank you!

Great reading, Joanne! The only issue is there's just a bit of background noise that needs to be cancelled. I've attached the link to a helpful tutorial if you've never done that before.

I cleaned up the background noise a bit more, I thought the previous one was enough. Thanks!

I fixed everything but the white noise I am not quite sure how to get rid of it. I could use a few helpful tips.
Thanks, Allie (you spelled it right)

Thank you! I´ve attached a helpful tutorial below for reducing background noise. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks that was a big help!

Hi Icequeen!

I finished my chapter (56).


https://librivox.org/uploads/icequeen/roughshaking_56_macdonald_128kb.mp3

First, it "passed with warnings" on the Checker: I got the same Volume warning as I got before on my 1-minute test.

I tried amplifying just a tiny bit and it passed! The volume on the first 6 minutes is a bit quieter because I moved the mic! But it's not super noticable I hope.

Let me know how it all turned out. Open to any feedback. Thanks!

Hi Keith!
The volume sounds all good to me. If it changes 6 minutes in, it's definitely not a significant change because I didn't notice, haha! That being said, there are a few other things that could be mended:
- There's quite a bit of white noise in the background that needs to be eliminated (I've attached a brief tutorial below in case you've never done this).
- To keep all of our intros uniform, please only say the chapter number once in the intro, per the script on the project page. So to be perfectly clear, for this chapter say, "Chapter 56 of A Rough Shaking...A Rough Shaking, by George MacDonald. Strategy."
- There's a gap of silence from 8:20-23.
- And though the overall volume is fine, it gets significantly louder in the last ten-ish seconds (the whole of your outro).
Thank you!

Here's that tutorial if you need it:

Thank you, Casey!

Sorry for the delay in responding. I was out of town for a few days. I'll see what I can do to reduce the white noise.

Hi Casey,

I rerecorded the intro, but it sounds way different than the chapter I read! I have been working to make my space more sound proof and I don't know if that's it or if it's because I'm using a different microphone or what. If you want me to rerecord the whole thing so it's more uniform, I can do that. Please let me know.

Thanks! [I personally wouldn't worry about just the intro sounding different for once. But I'll let Casey do the listening and make a call.]
