Just finished recording and uploading my first official recording. Never heard of this poet. My favorite line is "We annihilate chickens and time and policemen and space."
Would like to be credited at Aaron Sproule on the site.

Welcome to Librivox Aaron :D good first reading,
However, there are a couple of tech items to look at...
- your file has a DC offset of +840 (+2.5646%) according to Checker. this happens with some systems, and is easily corrected with Audacity's Effects/Normalize
- the volume is a bit low at 86.7 dB, I would not let it go any lower, you can check your specs with our Checker program - see info at http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Checker You will find the volume in decibels and other specs on the Information tab. :wink:
* please include the file duration with your link

Only one tiny misread, David. For "Do you mind that fat grocer who crossed?"
I heard 'fast' instead of 'fat' at around 00:50 -- otherwise, PL Ok!
Thanks for the PL Lee Ann, I have uploaded the edited file...

Thanks for the warm welcome, David!

Would you please just put 'Immanuel Satya' as the catalogue name? Also, I don't really have any link to put in there.

Thank you again and see you around the forum!

Thank you ABVoice, a few notes on yout reading...
- the volume is low at 82.8 dB, You should aim for your waveforms to peak near the 0.5 mark, like this:

Image

You can check your volume using our Checker program - see info at http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Checker You will find the volume in decibels on the Information tab. For your information, we look for around 89 dB (87-91 is OK) (all the other tech specs are there also) :wink:
- there are a couple of misreads you may want to fix:
1) at 1;00 i hear"How he dropped down to pay" the text reads, "How he dropped down to pray"
and 2) at 1:10 I hear "And he went—— Is that he or a dog," the text reads "As he went—— Is that he or a dog,"
