[COMPLETE]The Romance of Modern Engineering, by Archibald Williams - icequeen

[icequeen]

Hello,

I want to read the section 5: The tower Bridge and section 10: City Railways.
May I?

Regards
Prajakta

You may! Thanks Prajakta!

May I ask, please, to claim section 5: The tower Bridge and section 10: City Railways, in case Prajak doesn't deliver on due October 6?

She has delivered her sections to me in the past, so I am confident that she will. I will let you know otherwise.

Thanks for showing the confidence in me. Will post the link for the other chapter within a day or two. As I have just learnt, if I complete my work under pressure, I make lot of mistakes. So better not to get pressurized.

Many times it happens and it had happened with me for 3-4 times, that we very much want to do a certain project but somebody else had already claimed it. Though a bit disappointment, Librivox is providing so many projects with such a diversity that one can pick other project from the list happily. Thanks a lot for that.

Sure Prajakta, I didn’t mean to imply you wouldn’t complete it, simply wanted to be in queue first in case you happen to not be able to complete
Happy to hear your recording once it’s ready, it’s a nice piece to read.

Have a great weekend

Hello,

This is the link for chapter 5

https://librivox.org/uploads/icequeen/romanceofmodernengineering_05_williams_128kb.mp3

Duration 31:22 min

First half was normal but I thought the volume in the second half is very loud. So I was trying to make everything even by reducing few dbs, may have messed it up.
I am ready to rerecord some part if required.

Thank you
Prajakta

Chapter 5 does need a couple of things fixed.

The volume for the whole recording is currently at 85.4 dB, which is just a little bit low. If you can amplify by 4 dB, then that will get the volume where we need it to be. I didn't find the second half to be louder than the first half, but that could be because you did reduce the volume on the second half to match the first.

There are stumbles at 1:56-:59 and 23:56, that need to be clipped out.

I hope the link for chapter 10 is not missed out. I had sent it before chapter 5.
