sorry! I must have gotten mixed up.

Thanks, I was wondering what was going on.LCaulkins wrote: ↑May 19th, 2021, 10:09 am Hello
I'm sorting through all my LibriVox "stuff," and my brain was thinking, "wasn't I DPL'ing a Dorian Gray project?" So I came looking for this.
If you've been waiting for me, I'm so sorry - The project is not showing up on my Reader Page list of PL projects. Also, there's a tilde on the main post title, indicating a DPL is needed?
Whether I'm DPL or not, I've pulled Sections 1-5 to spot and PL, and I'll hit all of those over the next couple of days.
We'll get you rolling!

Hi, Isabella
I haven't actually listened to the chapters yet, but when I ran the batch through Checker, all the files except ch. 3 were flagged for having the wrong bit rate. (And ch. 3 was flagged for being too quiet.) Each of these things is something that can be edited without re-recording, so no worries.
Let me listen to the readings to make sure there aren't any edits needed before you work on changing the bit rates. I just wanted to let you know that the notes I put in the MW don't signify that I've PL'd everything just yet.
*By the way - the last chapter has a great volume, so if that's where your recording volume is set, it's a good place for you.

OK I'm finished with Ch. 1
Final PL NOTE: Your reading is fine in this re-recording, and as you mentioned, no background noise issues. Just need to adjust the file's bit rate to 128kbps.
Oh - what program did you end up settling on?

On chapter 2, no edits are needed on the reading.
The file does need to be converted to 128 bit rate and constant.

Hi, Isabella
PL Note for chapter 3 -
No edits needed in the reading.
The track's decibels are way low, only at something like 68. It just needs to be amplified, is all - don't re-record it. When I fiddled with it in Audacity, it took an amplify effect at 24 to get it to the LibriVox range. After that much amplifying, it needs Noise Reduction.
Let me know if you need help figuring out how to run those corrections on the file. I hope you don't feel discouraged. It can take a little fiddling up front to get your system tweaked where files get produced smoothly, but once all that is squared away, things run much smoother!

Ch. 4 is great, except for needing 128 bit rate.

As is chapter 5 - it only needs the bit rate changed.

Oh, good! (only because Audacity is the one I know how to use).
Fixing the bit rate is easy with that - here's how, just in case you hadn't figure it out on your own already:
Fixing the bit rate is easy with that - here's how, just in case you hadn't figure it out on your own already:
- Open the file in Audacity.
- In the drop-down File menu, select Export > Export as mp3
- In the lower half of the pop-up window, under "Format Options," look at the Bit Rate line and make sure the radio button for "Constant" is selected
- On the Quality line, select 128 kb
- Now save it.

Oh! I just noticed the sections are waiting for spot PL Sorry!
Hey, Isabella, if you drop me note on the board when you edit or load something, I'll see it super fast.
My reader page takes so long to load the links, I don't always remember to go look in it, but I see board posts several times a day and will action things within 24 hours of seeing them.
