Volume is high (94.7 dB). You will want to watch this on future recordings. If you're using Audacity, go to View / Show Clipping and make sure it's checked. That will warn you when your wave forms hit maximum (are clipping) which is a good indication that your volume is too loud.

Hello!
Thanks for the feedback.
I wanted to contribute one more recording to this collection (I am aware of your PM), so after this one, I will focus on those remaining recordings that yet need to be completed. Thanks for the update on this

Author: Alfred Denis Godley (1856–1925).

I tried using clipping this time, hope the volume is better now.
Kindest regards,

Only 19 minutes? I'm sorry - it's too short for this collection. This one is for recordings of at least 30 minutes, so that people have time to fall asleep.

I've been hoping I'd have time to record something for this and I think I've finally found a spare hour this evening. I'll probably do something from the suggested New England Historical & Genealogical Register, Vol. 1, No. 3

Thanks! I should be able to PL tonight or tomorrow.

Sounds like a plan!

Modern Oxford:

19:29 - repeat: "such as Oxford, such as Oxford life as summarized"
26:20 - loud sniff after "the work of their pupils"
26:22 - skip in the recording: "not that the relation to authorityundergraduates was ever"
31:46 - stumble/repeat: "Perhaps he is made to go in for hars - for honours."

0-19:11 - amplify 2 dB
19:11-end - amplify 6 dB

Accents are funny. It took me about 2/3 of the recording to realize that "chitters" is "tutors". LOL!

Can you please get me the author name and book title so I don't have to hunt for them?

plaidsicle · Post by **plaidsicle** » August 22nd, 2019, 11:02 am

yes! sorry about that.

it's lecture 1 from The Meaning of Relativity by Albert Einstein.
"Space and Time in Pre-Relativity Physics"

so many crazy math equations! it was quite a weird thing to read.
