This section hasn't been proof-listened yet but here are the technical notes. Could you resolve the technical issues and then re-upload the file before prooflistening?
  • The volume of this track is 71.36dB. LV requires the overall volume for the track (measured by ReplayGain - you can try this tool if you want to check the volume) to be between 86-92dB (with 89dB being the ideal). The easiest way to fix this automatically is to use the 'Loudness Normalization' effect (set to -19LUFS in 'perceived loudness' mode) in recent versions of Audacity before exporting the track as an MP3. If you use RMS normalization, set it to -21dB. Another way to fix it would be to use the Amplify effect set to 18dB. Since the volume is so low, amplifying it sufficiently would increase the background noise a lot. Did you accidentally have the microphone slider lower than intended or were you further from the microphone than you should be?
  • We need 0.75 seconds of silence at the start of each Librivox track and 5 seconds at the end (or as close as you can make it). Currently, it's about 3.9 at the start and about 1 at the end.

Hello,
I have corrected the two issues....this is my "first" recording, so I am not sure exactly what I was doing.

Thank you for your assistance.

No worries. You're doing great so far. It can take a little while to get the hang of it. You fixed almost all of InTheDesert's technical notes successfully :clap:

(I am the dedicated proof listener by the way if you are wondering who I am :))

I have two PL notes for your section:

I think you accidentally uploaded a file without the beginning silence edited down. Currently there are 14 seconds of silence at the beginning. Could you please cut that down to between .5-1 second of silence?

11:40-11:43 There is a long stretch of silence with just click sounds. Could you delete some of those seconds so that there is not a long pause there?
