Thank you!

Thanks, Sarah. I've put this into the Magic Window for PL. If you have to make any PL changes, could you also correct the file name when you resubmit the file? There's an extra underscore between 128 and kb that shouldn't be there. (If there are no PL changes, we'll ask the MC to make the correction when the project finishes.)

Cheers,

Hi Sarah! Welcome to Librivox, and congrats on your first recording! Great job with your tone and pacing! I do have just a few edits that need to be made please. I've listed them from end to beginning, and if the changes are made in that way, the timing should match up.

Ending - please add 2 more seconds of silence after reading the ending. We need to have it closer to 5 seconds please.
Around 3:36 - omitted "brave" from "...a wave of pity for the brave man whose weapon was as useless as a stick swept over him."
Intro - omitted "10" from the section title in the intro. "Chapter 10: Hopelessness"

Once the edits are complete, please re-upload the file with the correct file name, and post another note in this thread (with the file link and time of file) so I can do a quick spot check of the edits.

This is the correct file name: onslaughtfromrigel_10_pratt_128kb.mp3

Thanks!

Hello! I believe I have made all the adjustments. However, the file name I used does not have the extra underscore in it, but once I put it through the uploader, it added the underscore between 128 and kb when it gave me the new link.. Not sure why it is doing that.. So that is still the same. Hopefully someone can figure that out!

Was there perhaps a space there in your filename? That would do it.

Ready for spot PL.

Thanks, Adam. Just one correction needed before proof listening.

I ran your chapter through the Checker, which tells me that the volume is too high, at 94.8 dB. There's an easy fix for that in Audacity: Select the entire track, then click "Effect > Loudness Normalization," set to -19LUFS and "perceived loudness," then click "Apply." That will bring the volume down to 89-90 dB. Then re-export your file to MP3 and reupload it.

Thanks,
