Thanks. We turned the mic gain up quite a bit before beginning. Trying to get that balance. Could you tell me what the DB was at that level please and thank you?

Will get to 16 soon. May just re record 4 at higher mic gain.

I'd try to edit it before rerecording, for sure! The volume now on section 4 is 85.7 dB. So it just needs to be a little bit louder

Hi.

Regarding to section 4. How much do we compress this file? We use audacity.

Okay, he played with section 4. Please let me know if it is acceptable.

Thank you! I'll listen as soon as I can (but it'll probably take a few days)

Section 5 is well read, April

The volume is a little bit soft. Please amplify by 2 or 3. You might have to compress the recording first (that squashes the highest peaks, allowing us to amplify more). Here is a video that explains how to compress in Audacity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ3lOTDsN6c.

Everything else is great

May I claim Sections 7, 8, 9, 10 please?

Welcome to this project! Please do a 1 minute test before embarking on any recording

What would you like your catalog name to be? It can be your forumname, your real name, or something else entirely

Thanks kathrinee, my 1-Minute test is pending review
https://librivox.org/uploads/tests/test_eikytavie.mp3 presently. As for my catalog name, EikyTavie will do well. Thanks much

Good

I just posted in your 1 minute test thread about your test

Here is you reader's page in the catalog -- it lets you keep track of your claims etc. Ask if you have questions!

kathrinee · Post by **kathrinee** » March 15th, 2017, 5:33 pm

Section 4 is still a bit soft in volume. When I compress, I do the following:
Select the whole recording. Click Effect> Compress. I use these settings
Threshold -14dB
Noise Floor -40 dB
Ratio 2:1
Attack Time 0.20 secs
Release Time 1.0 secs

Click OK. Then you'll be able to amplify more

Sometimes I have to do it twice in order to be able to amplify the recording enough to get to approximately 89dB.

Chapter 16 is PL OK!

Nice work

Hi again.

Here is Chapter 4 with the tweaking you suggested. I have no idea how you came up with those numbers in the compressor area, but hopefully they will do the trick.

Once I get all The Trail cleaned up, I will concentrate fully on Red Cross. Scanning the info on MW and BC seems a bit complicated for me to figure out and follow at the moment. I'm still attempting to get a cleared recording first time out.

Let me know how this comes out.

Thanks. Deb
