Chapter 5 needs a couple of quick fixes. Great job on recording!

The volume is a little bit low, it is 85.8 dB, and we need it to be around 89 dB. But, I think that it would be better to run the file through the Compression effect, just because the volume level is not consistent through the whole recording, which I think is what you were talking about in your PM. Compression will bring up the low peaks, and lower the higher peaks, to give a little bit more even volume. The best way to have a more even volume level is to record the whole chapter in one sitting. The first half of the recording is great as far as the volume, but it goes down a bit on the next recording session, then goes down more after that.

At 27:10-:14, you have the outro for the final chapter of the book, "End of A Little Girl in Old New York, by Amanda Minnie Douglas." Since this is chapter 5, that bit needs to be edited out.

Please use the correct file name when you upload again, littlegirlinoldnewyork_05_douglas_128kb.

I removed the end of the book line, used the noise reduction and the compression. The result seems to be better, the sound volume level have become more balanced all the way through. The mp3 file now has volume of 93.3, and I hope this is acceptable.

Now the volume is too high, we need it to be below 92 dB. Could you try one more time? All you need to do is to de-amplify by -3 dB, then it will be perfect!

Chapter 12 needs just one fix.

The beginning silence is a little bit too long. It is currently about 2.5 seconds, if you could cut off about 2 seconds of it, that would be great.

The little bit of advice I can give is regarding your volume. It is currently at 87 dB, which is fine because it is close enough to the 89 dB we would like to have. But, I would not go lower than that, then you will start running into problems. Otherwise, you did a great job on your first recording!

Thank you. I will keep that in mind for my next recording. I have now made the correction.
Could you please change my catalogue page name from laveena to RedLily. Sorry for the inconvenience.
