thank you

Thank you Sonia
thank you, Lauren, nice reading, almost a mystical quality to your voice. I liked it. Though it's a bit low on volume, just inside our minimum accepted volume, something to watch out for, maybe turn up the microphone input level a little bit more.ladylivre wrote: ↑September 25th, 2022, 10:23 pmMP3: https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/msw033_demaindesaube_hugo_lp_128kb.mp3
thank you Lauren. The reason why Audacity didn't let you amplify with +3 is because it would have resulted in some clipping. If you check your recording at 1:04, you'll see a big spike from one plosive. This spike would have clipped if you had amplified it all. That's why it's best to avoid such big changes in volume in some parts.ladylivre wrote: ↑October 6th, 2022, 2:53 amThank you for your feedback! I ran the file through the noise reduction effect in Audacity and reuploaded it:

Just a quick note: I ran the file through Checker and it listed the volume as 85.9 dB. I tried to amplify it in Audacity, but it wouldn't let me go much higher than where it was, and the "normalize" effect seemed to re-introduce background noise. Since 85.9 is pretty close to the minimum (86 dB), I decided to upload it at that volume. If this causes any issues, I can try and find a way to bring the volume up with minimal background noise.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the explanation - it makes a lot more sense now. I'll practice on my original file as you suggested.Kitty wrote: ↑October 6th, 2022, 3:12 am The reason why Audacity didn't let you amplify with +3 is because it would have resulted in some clipping.

ah comme c'est méchant de la vieille femme, de profiter ainsi de l'accident. Maupassant est vraiment maître du lugubre.
