I've completed recording and cleaning up Section 18 of the Book of the Thousand Nights.
Thanks, Lisa. There are a couple of small adjustments to make - if you could do these and re-upload with the same filename, that would be great.
At 0m24s "Volume One" should be "Volume Eleven"
T the end, there should be five seconds of silence; this was originally there because some earlier audio players truncated files, but now people are so used to having a pause at the end to reflect that it's been kept within the specifications.
Finally, if you want to add that extra bit of polish, the loudness of your file is at the bottom end of the permissible range. If this were the only issue, I wouldn't raise it as it's just within the limits, but if you wanted to amplify the whole thing by 3dB before uploading again, it would hit the required loudness precisely. The problem is that you don't have that much headroom on your volume peaks so would need to find out something about audio compression or limiting to do this - that's quite a deep rabbit-hole to explore when you're just starting so I'll leave it up to you to decide whether you want to do that on this reading or wait till you're more familiar with the rest of the machinery of reading for LibriVox first. As a starting point, here's a video Phil made - it's on an older version of Audacity, but the principles haven't changed:

I'm not clear on where in the thread I should be to post this link. Any guidance for this and future uploads would be appreciated.
You've posted in exactly the right place.
I'd appreciate another post when you've uploaded the corrected file so I can spot-check the changes.
Cheers,
Paul
