Could I have sections 60 and 61? This is my first recording, so I don't want to take more than I can handle. You can put my recordings under the name Mason Lewis.
Thanks!

16:24

Optional PL notes (Just listen to the parts I mention, and post here if you're OK with the spots as they are.)
~7:48 slight stumble, "Leviticus"
~9:21 longish pause between paragraphs

I also noticed that you have a bit of clipping on this file. I don't know if your mic was set differently than the other files, or if you had to amplify post recording? I don't hear distortion to the sound, and the volume is fine, so you don't need to do anything about it here. If ever you need to amplify and it threatens to clip, I would suggest first running 'Compressor' (found under 'Effect' in Audacity) with the boxes at the bottom unselected. That will bring your peaks down and allow safe amplification. Hope that makes sense!

Thank you for your interest in this project!

We do, however, request that all new readers first complete short test recording to check out technical specifications and any other issues before taking on a longer recording for an actual project. I suggest you read our Newbie Guide to Recording https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Newbie_Guide_to_Recording as well. You will find the instructions for completing that preliminary recording in section two.

Once you have an "OK" on that, feel free to record these sections. I suggest doing one then waiting for you PL (proof listening) report just in case there are any issues that need to be addressed.

WELCOME TO LIBRIVOX

Is that just the one minute test? I did that yesterday and got an OK on that.

Hi Rosebud
I have also now addressed the issues with section 75 per the PL Notes

Section 75:
*No more than 0.5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning of the recording! (This one has @ 1.3 seconds now.)
*"Book [Number]. Chapter [Number] of A Class-Book of Old Testament History. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit: librivox DOT org"

Thanks again
Section 75 PL note:

Otherwise this one will be good to go.

Sections 14 & 45 are both PL OK Thanks for your hard work on those!

How should we introduce chapters in book 10? Should we say the part name as well, so that we don't confuse the chapters in that book that have the same number?
For example section 60 is Book X Part II chapter I.

For example section 60 is Book X Part II chapter I.

Section 60 is a bit different since it introduces a section so it should be "Book 10, Part 2, Period of Mutual Alliance, and Hostility to Syria. Chapter 1 Accession of Ahab—Era of Elijah
Subsequent sections can be Book 10, Part 2, [Chapter Title]

It is a confusing structure and I think I did not make it clear enough.
The most important things is to get the section numbers correct at the beginning and end.

Thanks so much for checking!
