[COMPLETE] World's Best Poetry, Vol. 7 (Part II) - kit

[Kitty]

Oops, here's the link: https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/worldsbestpoetry7_2_107_various_128kb.mp3
I thought an edit here wouldn't work well, but it turned out that it does. So this version has the extra "and" removed.

thank you !

how long is it ?

Adrian, I finished assembling the Heart of the Bruce and I found two small textual deviations for your role. I think both may be optional, but I'll give you the opportunity to make them word-perfect, if you want:

> at 7:27: "I'll die beside thee there" – you say "before" - this actually changes the meaning a bit

> at 8:24: "The Douglas, stark and grim" – you say "dark"

If you wish to correct, a short file with edits will suffice me, I'll paste them in the masterfile.

Let me know

Thanks

Hello Sonia,
Yes, I'll post corrections shortly.

Hello Sonia,
I've re-recorded these lines here: https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/worldsbestpoetry7_2_105_lorddouglas_extra_various_128kb.mp3

You may need to do some equalisation on them as they were recorded with different mics. I think the newer mic
(a Rode shotgun NTG4) has less bass and more high frequency.

BTW, the time references were, I think, with respect to the completed poem that I do not have sight of :0).

Best Regards,
Adrian

yes, they were for me mainly, so I would find them back easily.

The sound is fine for me, I didn't need much adjustment.

Here is the full poem:

thank you, Adrian

Ah - you need to use labels. I drop a label (ctrl+b) at each point worthy of note.
They get saved with the project. You can use alt + left/right cursor to navigate
by such labels. Next time you open up, you can skip directly to the point to edit.

Best,
Adrian

Quick question.

I think I have some correctios to make in 96 and 102, but the notes seem to refer to the edited final version.

Should I download the edited copy to find and correct the errors? or should I try to find them in my copy and reupload?

Cheers
Craig

just make a separate short soundfile with the corrections. The editor will then paste it to the correct slots. No need to reupload your first file, just call the new file "corrections" or something.

ah this is probably too technical for me. I am quite used to my old-fashioned manual references to time stamps, so they work for me.

But thanks for the advice

But isn't it best to listen to the way the lines have been read to try and ensure they fit in. I think I would prefer to do that. Otherwise, potentially, the change in tone etc could stand out more than the error.

Now this an interesting one. Sonia, you will remember my issue with Goal,er and Jail,er. This was a mix up between the Gauls and The Gaels, who I had always assumed where the same people.

You live and learn.

I downloaded the file, corrected my pronunciation and have snipped it out and reloaded it for dropping in to the final edit. I could only find the one mispronunciation, so I've added the second correction ad lib.

I think this is all you need from me, but please let me know if there is anything else.

Cheers

And here's the corrected version of the poem, though I found one of the "Gael"s to be at a different timestamps than given by April:

https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/worldsbestpoetry7_2_102_various_128kb.mp3

Duration is still 14:40

10:28 - 10:30 "the Gael maintained an equal war" - This was a bit tricky, because the correction said "the Gael above maintained" but since the word "above" doesn't occur in the text I did my best to edit it out. The edit is still slightly audible but I lack the skill to do better I'm afraid (at least at the moment).

12:01: "The Gael above" --> corrected

And I have to agree with Craig, I also find it very helpful to either get the timestamps for the original file, not the assembled one, or to still have access to the Google Doc to be able to easier find the right words in their right context via search. At least for longer parts.

sorry, you are probably right, we should have kept the doc sheet till the corrections are in. Will try to remember it for next time.

As for the time stamps, I figured you all could check in the finished file already, then you would hear the sentence in context. I always upload my finished files for safekeeping, so they are already available for download.

Sorry again to have made it hard on you.

And thanks for the correction Craig and the edit, Kate

That's good to know, I'll look at that file the next time, then!

Here's section 104 and cudos to all of you! I hardly understood anything but it still sounded really cool!

Hello Kate,
The word "above" is in the text see pg.411. It does sound as though you managed to edit it wonderfully, good job!

Craig your respeaking of the word was also wonderfully done by you.

Section 102 is now pl okay. Thank you.
April
