Hi,

I don't know if you uploaded the uncorrected file or what, but the one you listed here is just like the one before. The noise reduction is still needed where I mentioned. If you need a little help with Noise Reduction, just let me know and I will try to help.

Hopefully this is the right one. I had two with the same name so I got confused but I double checked the noise level on this one. Please let me know if I am not doing the noise reduction right.

Talia,

I am sorry to say that in each parts noted above, the noise is still there. The background noise is fine so we will just attack those spots. First, input your file into Audacity. Then hit the "+" button until it spread out enough to see the reading sections clearly. Then 'select' the section from the very first of the recording to just an instant before you start speaking. Then go to Effects, then Noise Reduction at the top of the Audacity page. Click on "Get Noise Profile" After that is loaded, click on Noise Reduction again and then click on "0K". That will take out all of the noise at the beginning. Then go to the noise just before the 4:00 mark and do exactly the same thing there. Then re-save the recording as a mp3 file and then upload again.

One other thing. In this file you have an extra "_" before Billy Whiskers. Just make sure you don't put one there when you convert it to an MP3 file.

That should solve the noise problem. Let's try it and see what happens.

Talia,

All your hard word paid off. Not only is the noise reduction good enough, it is perfect!!

Section 2 is now PLOK

Keep up the good work and I hope to hear more from you in the future.

Well Larry,
As far as I can see, all there is are PLOK 's. In my amateur's opinion, it looks like this might be ready for cataloging.

Your turn.

This sure was a fun little book to listen too. I think many children will enjoy the readings of our talented LV volunteers.

Yes, you are right, Wayne.
I've checked the MW and all appears to be in order and we can wrap this one up.

I mentioned to my younger brother that we are recording these books, and it brought make fond memories of his childhood reading these. So, I'm sure there will be many who will enjoy listening to these. I have a half-dozen of them prepped on my project list, and I hope some more will become available. I want to do as many of them as we can.

Thank you to all of our talented READERS!
You've given voice to these stories.

On to Lynnet with thanks for good oversight and now the final phase to get this ready for the listening public!!
