Here's what I posted over there.

"I'm recording on Audacity on a Macbook Pro with earbud microphones (Powerbeats)

You can hear my kid in the background at the beginning, but for the real deal I won't be recording when he's awake!

I did a little bit more of a "radio voice" for this because it was a fun reading. I'm planning to read the book "straight."

Thanks for any feedback!"

Thanks for working on this step! I see in that thread that they just need you to correct the technical specs and re-upload in that same thread for a final check. This is to ensure that your files match the requirements listed in the first post of each project thread: mono (1 channel), 44100 Hz sample rate, 128 kbps constant bit rate MP3...

Here is Section 48

https://librivox.org/uploads/mightyfelix/paulfaber_48_macdonald_128kb.mp3 20:28

Section 49 is recorded and in the editing queue

A lot of pathos in this section, and I resisted the temptation to be more melodramatic, but still convey the feeling.

Thank you! Ah, yes... the challenge of balance with an author/style like this!

time. 30:53

This is the correct url, I hope its formatted right (I'm learning to use my Macbook
Pro and this was the result I got when I moved it into this message.) I may try something else.

Chapter 38 is PL okay! Thanks for doing that resubmission! There is a breath sound at the very end that I do not think you need to update for, just something to watch for on future recordings. But overall a really lovely reading!

Section 47: 18:48

Chapter 34: very nicely read! Only one PL note - the volume is at 92.4 dB, which is higher than the LibriVox accepted range of 86-92. Could you deamplify the recording and re-upload? If you are unfamiliar with how to deamplify, there is a page on the wiki that explains how to do this in Audacity.

Chapters 46 and 47 have a volume that is below the range and will require some amplification.

If easier for you in the future to avoid these notes, you can check the volume yourself by downloading checker and using it to analyze each of your MP3 files.

Other than the volume notes, you have a very nice reading style, and I enjoyed listening to these chapters and your different voices for all the characters! I'm sorry I've been so slow to PL for you; I should be able to listen to the rest of your chapters on Sunday.

Great job with these two chapters!

Chapter 50 - at 4:19 the text reads, "She little thought how she interfered," but I am hearing, "She still thought how she interfered..."
Chapter 51 is PL okay!

Chapter 49

Some convoluted sentences, but also some very quotable ones.

Chapter 53 - 19:40

At 1:45 the text reads, "he said when she reappeared on the stair," but I am hearing, "he said when he reappeared on the stair."
At 7:47 the text reads, "Could you let me have something to eat," but I am hearing, "Could you let him have something to eat."
