Chapter 18 needs one fix.
The volume is too low, it is currently at 81 dB. If you could amplify by 8 dB, then you should be at our target of 89 dB. Otherwise, great job!

I tried to amplify it in Audacity and it is only allowing me to increase it by 2dB so it is at 82.7 right now. The "apply" button is grayed out when I try to amplify it any more. Any suggestions?icequeen wrote: ↑March 26th, 2024, 8:03 pmannerct wrote: ↑March 24th, 2024, 2:59 pm Chapter 18 done and ready for review.

When recording I had my computer microphone setting at 100 and the Audacity setting all the way up to 0. I am close to the microphone when recording and almost feel like I am shouting. Any advice for increasing the volume when recording? I have looked through the videos on the librivox website and the many wikis but I don't see anything to help other than what I have already done. Thank you!
The reason why you can't amplify by 8 dB may be due to the peaks of your recording. If the peaks are too high, that will prevent Audacity from amplifying because those peaks will go outside the recording window. When that happens, you lose part of the recording range. I would recommend using the Loudness Normalization effect, which is in the Volume and Compression menu in the Effects tab. If you have the Loudness Normalization set to -19 lufs, that should get you to the 89 dB target.annerct wrote: ↑March 27th, 2024, 2:48 pmI tried to amplify it in Audacity and it is only allowing me to increase it by 2dB so it is at 82.7 right now.

The second question. I think in your case, using the Loudness Normalization is the best advice for this. You can experiment with what you have already recorded and use that effect to see if that gives you a good result. That way, you can record at a more comfortable level for your throat, then let Audacity get the volume where you need it to be. I would also make sure that Audacity is using your microphone, instead of a default mic.
Hope that helps!
