Hi:

I have went ahead and re-recorded the piece. This resulted into a track without hiss like character.

Hi Rusty, there are a couple of technical things that have changed since your one minute test recording. the only one that needs to be changed is the hiss, but I thought the other notes might be helpful to you too. Let me know how I can be helpful.

Section 21 PL Notes:

• 00:00 Note (no change needed): The volume of this track is 91.63dB. 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 file falls within the outer ends of that range and so doesn't need to be changed but watch that it doesn't end up outside the range. The easiest way to automatically set the volume 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 would be to use the Amplify effect set to -3dB.
• 00:00 Note (no change needed): This file contains some clipping. This is where the maximum possible volume is exceeded (possibly because you were too close to your microphone but possibly because the 'gain' for the channel in Audacity was pulled up above 0.0). It can't be changed after recording (unless it was caused by the Audacity gain problem) though a compressor might make it less noticeable.
• 00:00 Note (no change needed): The recording was quite heavy on treble which gives it clarity at the expense of warmth and body. An easy way to even this out is to use the Audacity 'Bass and Treble' effect set to +1 on the bass. This is often caused by certain kinds of microphones (for example, headset microphones).
• 00:00 There was some hiss on the recording. It might be the result of a low input volume from the microphone which you have subsequently amplified to hit the Librivox volume range, in which case you might want to look into increasing the source volume (moving closer to the microphone or making sure the microphone is at full volume). Another solution you can apply is noise reduction. This will reduce the hiss after recording but it does degrade the quality of the audio. Be gentle on the amount (I'd say a maximum of 6dB reduction but less is better) - many people overdo it. Another option is a noise gate.

Thank you for the feedback. I have replayed the recording and noticed the track is beyond repair or at least as per my skills. I am redoing the entire chapter. Will comment further soon.

Hello Tina! Great job with your recording! Just a few edits please:

Around 25:54 - heard "...when the climate does not admit of out-door enjoyments..." should be "...when the climate does not admit of out-door employments..."
Around 8:28 - heard " The leader in a revolution is surely the most energetic man..." should be " The leader in a revolution is merely the most energetic man ..."
Around 8:20 - heard "...to entwine the ties of custom which bind a people to the established and the old." should be "...to untwine the ties of custom which bind a people to the established and the old"
