Thank you for this PL OK recording, Ben!
I happened to see one of your posts with a query about the Checker. If you haven't already, you'll notice there are two tabs in the bottom half of the Checker window: Validation and Information. In the Information tab you can get more information about your recording, which also includes the volume dBs (as measured by the checker), so you'd know by how much to amplify or de-amplify if needed.

Hi Juna!! Welcome here!

I will definitely sign you up for these three poems, as soon as we address a few issues.

My first question is: How would you like to be credited as a reader in the catalogue? It's usually the name you use in the recordings or simply your forum name. If you'd like to enter the name you used here, just spell it out for me please, so I can enter it correctly

Secondly, text source is really important as to public domain texts. Later editions might have copyrighted changes, so we only use pre-95 years editions, which for this year it means 1926 and earlier. On the source you chose, you'll notice it says (below the poem) "Copyright © 1951", "Source: The Poems of Emily Dickinson Edited by R. W. Franklin (Harvard University Press, 1999)" for Hope, and "Source: Collected Poems (1947)" for The Highway Man, so it's no good for Librivox.

The most trusted text source is Gutenberg.org, as they have their own legal team that does Public Domain clearance on the texts, so if a poem is in Gutenberg.org we go with that. I have found your three chosen poems on the following gutenberg.org ebooks, if you could check and see if the recordings need any changes to match that text:
https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/12242
https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/16950
https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/30501

As this is all new to you, let me know if there are any questions.

Next, we should take care of the technical specifications. In a nutshell, they should be:
Channel: Mono (yours is now stereo)
Sample rate: 44100 Hz (you got that right

)
Export bitrate: 128 kbps Constant (yours is now variable ~152 kbps)
Volume 87-91 deciBel (yours is now too soft at 64 dB)

What recording program are you using? I hope you can make it match the above specs. If it's Audacity, there's info how to set it up in the wiki: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Audacity_1-2-3 and of course ask if anything is unclear.

From what I listened to so far, you used the correct opening and closing phrases.

However we also need to get the filenames to a format, so they sort out correctly with the rest of the recordings in the collection. For this project the format is:

spc224_[poem's title in short form - no leading articles]_[your initials]_128kb.mp3

so yours would be something like:
spc224_hope_j_128kb.mp3
spc224_goblinmarket_j_128kb.mp3
spc224_highwayman_j_128kb.mp3

Hi, Rapunzelina

Much appreciated. Will try my best. These finicky apps are giving a greater fight against noise reduction than anticipated. Won't know if can reduce all the background noise. Will come up with something. My apologies in advance

Would love some feedback. I'm still learning how to use my software (Audacity, usb mic, MacOS Catalina) and my own voice. Hopefully, this is recording is functional at the very least! Gonna try to upload another one tomorrow morning so I'll check in to see how this goes.

Glad to be here. Glad listening to you all. Glad this space exists.

Thanks for listening! // Talk soon!
