COMPLETE: Sketches of Gotham by Owen Davis -jo

[Roselbex]

Hi Brian, I also had an outro that said Section 23 which I changed. I started off just fine but somehow got confused at the end. Thank you for catching my mistake but I think that I will have to reupload because of the outro. I will reupload due to my second error.

My lucky day! Seems that your upload with fixed outro was uploaded after the one I did. So, bottom line is that the listen to link plays your upload with the corrected outro. We're all good.

ATTENTION TO ALL READERS!!!

I had an accident last week and just got out of a six day stay in the hospital with 7 rib fractures. Sorry about the delay in PLing here. I should have time to get to them. Thanks for the patience.

Wow. Sorry to hear about your accident, Wayne. Try not to too much, that could be painful with fractured ribs. Hope you're as good as new soon.

Wayne:

I can tell you just don't like doing things by halves. Most would be quite satisfied with one or two fractured ribs, but, oh no, not Wayne. Got to have seven.

Wishing you a quick, as painless as possible recovery and swift return to normalcy. You do know what normal is, don't you? (Hint: it ain't seven busted ribs.)

Stay outta them hospitals!

How terrible your accident sounds. Please do rest up and realize that pling shouldn't be at the top of your list, it will still be about when you are healed enough to deal with it.

Hello Brian,

I just uploaded my first Librivox reading, section 9. The file name may be screwed up. If so, please let me know.

Hope the reading is passable. There is much I'd like to change, but then that will always be the case.

Werner

Werner,

I enjoyed your reading. Nice voice and inflection.

I did find a few things you might want to look at:

First, your recording is a little on the quiet side. Checker shows it at 87.5 dB, and LV has a goal of 89dB. So, if you could raise it up 1.5 dB, that would be great.

Also, the silence at the beginning needs to be cut down to .5 to 1 second. The reason for this is that we don't want anyone to miss out on your recording. If the beginning silence is too short, the listener might not be paying immediate attention and miss some, and if it is too long, they may wonder if there is a problem with the recording. These are just times that have been shown to work through the year. Just as “Nature abhors a vacuum”, “Recording abhors silence”.

4:30.5 of the kind who buy diamond rings for little ladies who dance well, the words “buy diamond” are kind of jumbled, hard to make out without seeing the words. "Buy" kind of sounds like buys and the first syllable of diamonds is really lost.

8:52.5 it would be just the same. I heard you

And there is a small problem with your file name. I know exactly what happened and happened to me when I started. The suggestion is that when you save the file, just 'cut and paste' the name into Audacity from the First Post, and that works great, except Audacity automatically installs the ' .mp3 ' in the 'save box', as so at the end of it all, one has one too many ' .mp3s'. So the solution in this case is when you save the corrected file, just look and see how many mp3's you have, and make sure it is only one.

Very good first recording. Keep up the good work.
