Librivox hosts recordings of texts previously published and in the public domain, so a self-written story would not fit this description.SlickWiggler wrote: ↑September 24th, 2018, 12:45 pm So, there's this one story that used to scare the hell out of me as a kid called Tailypo. I would looove to retell it for this collection, but I can't nail down a public domain text of it, Gutenberg isn't giving me anything and it's not on the linked archive. If I write my own version, is it OK if I record that? It's a really old folktale that my grandfather used to tell around the campfire (and he said he heard it from his father), I can't imagine it would be under copyright. Or if someone can help me find it in a public domain collection, that would be amazing.
I wasn't able to find it in a public domain collection. The earliest I have found is in a 1944 folklore collection, which references a journal printed in 1934 and a quite different version of this story in "Uncle Remus Returns" (Chapter 3 https://librivox.org/uncle-remus-returns-by-joel-chandler-harris )

Darn. I figured that was the case, but just thought I'd ask. Guess I'll save it for when my baby brother is old enough to go camping...Rapunzelina wrote: ↑September 26th, 2018, 12:05 amLibrivox hosts recordings of texts previously published and in the public domain, so a self-written story would not fit this description.SlickWiggler wrote: ↑September 24th, 2018, 12:45 pm So, there's this one story that used to scare the hell out of me as a kid called Tailypo.

Young Goodman Brown by Nathanial Hawthorne. I recorded it but am still editing. It will be under 30 minutes long. It's a devil/witchcraft story

A jug of Syrup is PL OK and very nicely read!
Just a note regarding the file-name, for future reference; we don't use capital letters in file-names.

I've just recorded "The Derelict" by William Hope Hodgson - I've edited it (still need to adjust the levels etc.) but it's gone a bit long - about 1hr 13 and a half minutes. I see from previous collections that some stories have gone north of the 1hr mark - would this one be okay?

It's acceptable if it fits on a cd. And I think there are 74 minutes cds! So I guess it's ok, or if not, our MC Bart will let us now.

When you post please let them know what software you are using. That way if you need to make changes, you are unsure of, they can help you.
All of your settings, other than volume, are fine so you are indeed on track. Your volume is too loud at 97.6dB. We aim for 89db with an acceptable range of 86-92dB. Do you see how a lot of your waves are flat at the top and bottom? This is called clipping and can lead to distortion. I recommend lowering your input volume or backing slightly away from the mic.

So, as far as I can tell , this story was published in 1923, thus not yet in the public domain in the US. But I'll be here if it turns out that it's OK to proof-listen.Artglassgirl wrote: ↑October 10th, 2018, 1:34 pm Hi heres my contribution!

Indeed, I cannot find a reason to accept this Lovecraft story.
I'm sorry.
