[COMPLETE] - Nature by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - tg

Listened to 10 more readings just now. Everyone did great.
Garth, Florence, Algy, Bruce, Wayne, Allison, Nan are all PL OK.
Erin, your poem is PL OK but I have a question about your initials, which are usually el, but this file shows el0. Is that intentional?
CalmDragon, your volume at 94.3 dB, falls outside LV range. Please Amply -5 and re-up by tonight.
Ellen (Oncetrain), your volume at 92.4 falls outside LV range. Please Amplify -3 and re-up by tonight.

If I don't hear from CalmDragon and Oncetrain by 10 am tomorrow, I will perform the de-amplification myself so these poems can stay in the collection.
Erin, if you re-up, let me know so I can put the correct link in the MW.

I want to direct all readers' attention to my other Longfellow project, Keramos and Other Poems, the book from which this lovely poem came. I hope you will claim a few of his other poems to read as well.

Hi Michele,

Well spotted. Yes, for the weekly/fortnightly poems I've switched to el0. There were one or two other readers who contributed and used el, and it meant that if the second person to upload didn't spot the first person's entry with el the second poem would 'take over' the link and create more work for David. I've just kept using it to prevent a recurrence.

It hasn't mattered so much with other collections where the file name has the poem/story title as well as the reader initials, which is why you've seen me upload as el for the coffee break collections.

Good plan, Erin. I always wondered what happens if two people have the same initials. That's why I use mtf, three is far less likely than two to duplicate, but still not impossible.

Okay, I think I de amplified it enough here:

Ok, I changed the amplification.
Hope that's acceptable!!

Ellen and CalmDragon. Your files are PL OK.

Nedge, your poem is PL OK. And that makes 24 BAMs on this lovely poem. A very nice, high number! Longfellow would be pleased.

Hi!

I don't see that my entry is in the Magic Window. I did put the incorrect runtime (1:12), but is it also because I signed up to do the same poem in Kéramos: and other poems? Double checking.

Thanks!
Lisa

Lisa, I've added your poem, and it is PL OK. It didn't pass Checker due to low volume, so I boosted it for you due this project sitting on the deadline. And now we're at 25!

You did right notifying me. It helps when readers take responsibility for their own stuff, and help keep the BC on track.

Awesome! Thank you (will be mindful about the volume).

Starting cataloging...

Post by **TriciaG** » June 27th, 2021, 12:14 pm

Michele - your file isn't in the uploader (or at least, it's not in my folder).

EDIT: Ah, it's in aradlaw's. I'll pull it over.

M2969's is VBR. I'll fix it.

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: errr, never mind

Tricia, the author is Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, not William Wordsworth. Apparently the changes I made to the original title and summary submission just after putting the topic up, didn't make it onto your screen.

Post by **TriciaG** » June 27th, 2021, 1:19 pm

Crud. Okay. Give me a while (a long while) to fix it.
