I hope everything is OK with this recording.

Hi Don,

Here are your notes:

0:04: I'm not sure how strict the rules are, but I believe you need to say 'Librivox dot org' rather than just 'Librivox'
1:19: The ending silence isn't quite long enough. You should aim for 5 seconds, while you've got about 4.2

159 and 161 are PL OK.

As for 119:

The volume is too low. You should be aiming for 89 dB, and you're at 85.9
2:16: The ending silence is too long. You should be aiming for 5 seconds, and you've got 6.2

By sun and cold, by rain and snow, In trees and men good timbers grow."

Hi Alec,

Here are your notes:

Volume is too low. You're at 81.8 dB, and you should be at about 89. I'd amplify as much as it lets you without clipping (about 6.6)

There is a noticeable amount of background noise. You should look up how to do noise reduction.

0:00: Opening silence is too long. It should be no longer than 1 second, and you've got more than 2 seconds.

Hi Larry,

Most are PL OK, but there are some notes:

Secion 67:

1:54: 'What I think of true men' should be 'What I think is true of men'

Section 189:

0:55: 'places' should be 'spaces'

Hi Sarah,

As this is your first recording, we need to know 'under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog'. Your catalog name can be your real name or anything. A lot of us use our real names so our friends can find us but it is up to you. Ask if anything is confusing.

Hi h2v2h,

I think something's gone wrong here. Your recording is very quiet. It should be about 89 dB, and yours is 64. Unless this is a problem with the output, and you still have the higher volume original, I think you might have to re-record this at a higher recording volume...

You could try amplifying it, but the problem with amplifying something this quiet is like trying to increase the size of a low resolution picture; it can't add back in missing information.

I don't have a website yet :-) maybe someday. My real name will do fine - Sarah Jump

So, is that a go on this poem?
