I had a missing word in section 29, so I went along with what struck me as logical here.

I read:

- Another slave, George McVodie, belonging to the Poage family, of Boyd Co., escaped and went to Canada, no [TR: missing word?] as to whether he ever came back later.

as

-Another slave, George McVodie, belonging to the Poage family, of Boyd Co., escaped and went to Canada, no records as to whether he ever came back later.

Please let me know if you think I should do any way better.

Cheers,

Thank you for these!

I think the way you handled the missing word is fine. In general, LV policy is to read "as written," but there are exceptions, and I think this is one. My understanding is that these were written in the field, or later, by the interviewers, then later transcribed [TR] probably by someone sitting at a typewriter, or maybe directly by someone preparing them for print. So there is ample room for errors and omissions. Adding the obvious word, etc. seems perfectly acceptable to me for these transcribed interviews.

We'll have a full proof listening report for you soon.

Excellent reading of both sections.

The volume needs to be increased for both sections. It needs to be between 86 and 92 dB.

Section 18
please amplify by about 4 dB which will put it close to the ideal of 89 dB

Section 19
please amplify by about 5 dB which will put it close to the ideal of 89 dB

Quite interesting about Boyd County.

Thanks,

Notes on section 45.

You did a great job with the reading of the text. There are just a few changes needed to meet the LibriVox specs.

volume is too low, please increase it by at least 15 dB, but preferably by 18 dB.
please delete a little over 4 seconds at the start so the silence is between 0.5 and 1 second total.
0:46 please insert section title "Annie Morgan" after "by various"
please add a little over 1 second of silence at the end so there is around 5 seconds total of silence.

Make those changes and repost with the same filename and your recording should be PL OK.

Thanks,

M

Good job with the fixes you did. You just missed the starting and ending changes:

please delete a little over 4 seconds at the start so the silence is between 0.5 and 1 second.
please add a little over 1 second of silence at the end so there is around 5 seconds total of silence.

Thanks,
