Hi from Colorado

Hi everyone:
Newbie here! I just retired after 28 years in IT. I love to read and hope to contribute to this wonderful forum. I was also a country music disc jockey before I got into IT, so I have some experience behind the microphone!

Welcome Tom! We're glad you're here!

Your background as a dj is be great!

If you have any questions about differences between dj and audiobook mics and mic techniques, please join us this Friday for a Zoom call, or catch it on YouTube after it's recorded.
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=83012&p=1980221&hilit=Microphone#p1980221

We hope you'll submit your one-minute-test soon so you can make sure that your technical settings are compatible with our systems.

Let me know if you have any questions...

Welcome Tom. You (yes YOU!) are invited to the BEGINNERS ZOOM LIVRIVOX GROUP, Monday, Jan 3, 2022. Join in either or both of two sessions and talk with other LibriVox old timers and newbies; ask questions, and chit chat. Tell us about yourself and your pets. First Monday of the month.

11 am & 11 pm Central time USA. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/8840814632

I've made a little video to welcome people; It has some basic info about us that I thought might be helpful to know right at the start. In any case ask lots of questions, we are a helpful bunch here and you will fit right in. https://youtu.be/mwtn_2d3_qs
Oh and Maria, our LibriVox pickle, can hardly contain her excitement Image

Hi Phil: (and Grace)

I watched your video! I also finished setting up my Mac and Audacity to record. I have my 1-minute video done, but I can't login to the upload page. It says "Incorrect Login", even though I'm using the same credentials that I used to login to this forum. I'm assuming it's the same login? Thanks! Can't wait to get started!

Tom, hooray for doing your test! I wish I could help you with your login, but that is beyond my reach. I hope Phil will be along soon to help you submit it.

How's the view out your window now? All is a white wintery wonderland today here, north of Syracuse.

I was trying to use my login, but i noticed there is a different login for the upload page. I think I was able to successfully upload my 1-minute test.

Thanks!
Tom
