Your volume is definitely okay here so I wouldnt worry about it too much! As long as your set up doesn't change you should be fine

When you want to record but also don't want to boil to death with no fan and its 86f

Perfect! you're all good to go

HI there :) there's a couple of things that need to be fixed before you start recording. 1) The bit rate should be 128 kbps. when you export your recording, the option to change this will pop up. it's in the drop down next to where it says 'quality' 2) the bit rate should be constant. when you expor...

Everything is correct now and all sounds fine, so perhaps it was the fan i could hear. either way, you're fine to start recording officially

brilliant, you're good to start recording now!

chapter 1 is pl ok!

Try a new recording. is the microphone volume slider in audacity all the way up? always easier if we can get the volume right in the first place than trying to edit afterwards. what is the exact issue you are having with amplifying? i've had a tinker with your test and i was able to amplify so its d...

All is great apart from the volume of this recording. it's a little too quiet. if you're using audacity, the wave form should be peaking at the 0.5 mark. you may need to turn up your microphone volume a little. there is a slider to in audacity to do this. you may also need to use the 'amplify' tool....

i will dpl this project, but we had best wait for an mc to adopt it!

all is great, you're good to go! i didn't think you would be able to get such a nice sound on an phone. i'm quite shocked. the only thing i will suggest is to keep an eye on your volume. librivox aims for all recordings to be between 86 and 92 db. this is coming up at 86.7 on the checker tool so you...

Hi, there's a couple of things that will need to be fixed. 1) the bit rate should be 128 kbps. the option to fix this pops up when you export the file. just change the 'quality' to 128 kbps. 2) the recording should be in mono and not stereo. you can fix this by going to preferences (edit ---> prefer...
