This is my first time recording for Librivox so please let me know if the background noise is too loud or if my voice is too quiet! Thanks :)

Hi Alister,

The background noise is fine according to the Checker, but your volume is indeed too low at 82.3 dB (we aim for somewhere between 86 and 92, with 89 being the sweet spot).

The good news is that you don't need to rerecord. Just amplify it in Audacity (select the entire track and then choose "Amplify" under "Effects" and put 6.7 into the Amplification (dB) box and click Apply to bring it up to 89).

Let me know if you have questions. Once you reupload, I'll give it a listen!

Thanks,
Got it, fixed! Let me know if that is better~

Yes, that's definitely better, and I've now listened to it. Just one more small change to make this chapter PL OK. Your opening silence is a bit too long at 4 seconds. If you could trim that down to between 0.5 and 1 second, it'll be perfect.

Thanks,
Winnifred

Hi Stacey,

Thanks. Your closing silence is a bit too short at just under 4 seconds. Could you please add a second to the silence and reupload? Then this will be PL OK.

Thanks,
Winnifred

Hi Stacey,

Just one correction needed. As this is the last chapter of the book, could you please read at the end, "End of Poor Blossom, by Edith Carrington" and reupload the file?

Once that's done, this'll be PL OK.

Thanks,
Winnifred
