Hi Wolfi
Warm wishes and happy holidays to you, too!
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I have uploaded my 1 minute test to the Listeners & Editors Wanted forum (
https://librivox.org/uploads/tests/test_jrutman7.mp3, 00:24); with your OK, I am ready to get started on the sections!
Best,
Julia
hi julia,
good morning and my best warm wishes to you, too!
a wonderful recording with a warning hint by checker -
your 1 minute test recording is PL OK!
explanation: we have a software tool most of us use, it is called checker and i think it is linked in our wiki. it tested your file ok with a warning about the background noise.
i didn't hear any, and looked up your file in audacity.
you have less than two seconds of ending silence (standard for librivox recordings are always to leave 5 seconds of silence at the end), and that should be the cause for that false positive. on the other hand, in the ending silence, i saw some sound waves.
so some breathing noises or background noises may be an aspect, too.
i really do think, that your recording is ok, but please: keep an eye on such aspects and try noise reduction, in case you get that pl feedback. for now and because i know, that checker doesn't like too short ending silences...nothing left to do regarding the test
next steps:
1. lease tell me the name you want to publish in the catalogue (and mention in the recordings, if you wish so):
- every reader gets a catalogue page.
- your catalogue name can be an alias, your forum name or your real name (or something else) (if you want to read a name in the recordings, it should be the catalogue name - but this is recommended, only. on librivox, we have less rules which are absolutely necessary, than i expected as a new user)
- it offers some additional functionalities (for yourself, as a reader): an overview over your claims, eg.
- we can publish a link to a homepage or a blog, if existing and you wish to do so
--> please tell me your name in the catalogue (with punctuation) and a link (if any)
2. please, begin to record
so fast and so good your 1 minute test!
thank you!
cheers,
wolfi
