Thank you! Great job!

There are a few things that need to be fixed.

Both files are a tad quieter then we need them to be. They both need to be amplified a bit.

Also, "Little bear" has 6-1/2 seconds of silence at the end and we need it to be no more than 5.
And the Chipmunk story has too much silence at the beginning and the end. At the beginning it should be no more than 1, and again, at the end, no more than 5.

If you could snip some off that would be great!

And one last thing, when you reupload, please follow the naming scheme as listed in the first post. This is really important for collections like this.
Save or export your recording to an mp3 file at 128kbps using the following filename:
• File Name: Put file name all in lowercase, and the title all in one word (no leading articles i.e. the, a, an, and NO SPACES): csw054_shorttitleinoneword_readersinitials_128kb.mp3,
e.g. csw054_scarletgiantbean_ge_128kb.mp3

Thank you for the feedback.

I have trimmed the ending of Little bear and trimmed both the start and end of the Chipmunk who chattered too much. The files have been named according to the guide. Thanks for your help!

Thank you!

I think I didn't word my first note wrong. Both files now do not have enough silence at the end!
We need them to have 5 seconds of silence at the end. They are around 2-1/2 and 1-1/2 seconds each.

Could you try one more time? Sorry!

Hi there,

Another one from me. Hopefully this time the pauses at the beginning and end are more appropriate.

Thank you!

There are some things that need to be fixed.

First, there are some technical issues.

The volume is much too quiet at 79.2 DB - we need it to be between 86-92 DB. Ideally around 89.
The bit rate is 69kbps and variable. We need it to be 128kbps and constant.

The intro is a bit mixed up. It should go in this order:
At the BEGINNING Say: "[Title of Work], by [Author Name]" "This is a Librivox recording. All Librivox Recordings are in the public domain. For more information or to volunteer, please visit Librivox.org"
There is a long pause from 1:46-1:53 and another paus from 4:37-4:41. If you could cut both of those down, that would be great

And there is a loud noise @8:50.

One last thing. I need you to provide the actual link to the e-text.

If you need help with the technical issues, let me know and I will direct you to some resourses.

You did a really lovely job with the reading!
Maria

I appreciate your words about the reading. I know I'll only get better!

Just to keep an eye on the file naming, especially for collections like this one. It was a bit off, but I fixed it on my end for you. :-)

Thank you! Nice job!

A couple of minor things need to be fixed.

First at :18, the title and author is repeated after the intro. This needs to be cut out.
Also, in the file name "anderson" needs to be removed. It should be csw054_swineherd_dmb_128kb.mp3
