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 85.26dB. 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 4dB.

Sorry about that! For some reason my mic records at a different level every time! I think I'll try a different mic next time.
Is this any better?

I have attempted unsuccessfully to upload my recording of section 3 of the Autobiography of Charles Spurgeon several times but keep getting a message saying "error" and indicating the file type is not correct. To the best of my knowledge I am using the same mp.3 file as was used on my test sample that was approved.

I request an extension and advice on how to correctly upload my recording.

What is the full name (including extension) of the file on your computer? Something like autobiography1_09_spurgeon_128kb.mp3

How are you making the mp3? Are you doing a SAVE AS or EXPORT?

Thank you for eliminating those. There is just one more fix that needs to be done. The background noise has been pushed over the allowed level, so this will need to be reduced. You might need to increase the volume of the recording, if the noise reduction brought it under the minimum of 86 dB.


Thanks,

M

Hi, I have no experience editing audio recordings. I attempted to fix the background volume by re-running the "ReplayGain" on Audacity, and re-exporting the clip. Did this decrease the background noise? If this didn't fix it, I'll need to be shown how to increase the volume of a recording, or where to alter the noise reduction.

Here is the link to my newly uploaded version of Section 13...

It is showing a noise level of 51 dB which fails in Checker. Have you used the "Noise Reduction" feature in Audacity?
The noise level needs to be brought down a couple of dB at the least.

I re-uploaded my recording after using the Noise Reduction feature, and it making sure it passed the Checker. Here is the link:

Can you pot the link to the thread? I've never heard of a cvs file.

[TriciaG]

I did a web search on "CVS file" and only got CSV files (comma-separated text files).

However, I found this in the uploader: https://librivox.org/uploads/triciag/autobiography1,section3,spurgeon,128,mp3.mp3

It sounds like a whole bunch of people talking at once.
