COMPLETE Letters of Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy from Italy and Switzerland, Translated by Lady Wallace - rap

Hi Christo!
What microphone did you use when recording on Audacity?
The current file doesn't have the correct specifications in bitrate. Please, open the file in Audacity again, and when you go to "Export audio to mp3" make sure you select "Constant" for bit-rate mode, "128kbps" for Quality, and tick "Force export to mono". Then upload your file again, and please post here the url link the uploader gives you.

When this is fixed, I think it'll work just fine! The sound is nice and clear. It is currently just a tad on the loud side, so depending on what microphone you are using, either keep a couple of inches more distance from the microphone, or decrease your microphone's input volume just a tiny bit - we don't want it to go too quiet next!

Hi Rapunzelina - I struggled to make sense of carrying out your instructions on my Sony Voice Recorder. But in the meantime I decided to do a recording straight onto Audacity and upload it. I did that just now. The file name is grecian_urn_keats. I hope you can listen to this one-minute test and see if it's maybe better than the other one. I'm really sorry this is taking me so long. Everything is just so new and I can see that I have tons to learn still. Thanks so much for your patience! Christo

Hi Christina! Congratulations on your first narration piece! You have a sweet and soothing voice and reading style! I did notice that a few sentences were very close together, which made me wonder whether you used an option to delete pauses between sentences?

HI, thank you!! I edited myself and since this was my 1st project, I'm thankful for the feedback:)
If you want me to relisten and add spaces where they seem to be needed, I'm happy to!

Hi Christina!
I don't think you need to go through the recording again, as it's not that bad. I think the time spent doing that, would be better spent on a new recording
My comment was as something to look out for in the future, or in case you were using the "Truncate silence" option in Audacity, to experiment with different settings that wouldn't truncate the silences that much.

Ok, thank you!!

Hi! Would I be able to get a few more days to finish my sections up? I've been super busy these past few months and quite underestimated how long editing would take.
Thanks,
