Thank you.

Thank you, Jade! You did a great job!

There are just a couple of things that need to be fixed.

First, the volume is a bit too high at over 97DB. We need it to be between 86 and 92 - ideally around 89. If you are using Audacity, open the file if you know how to amplify, just slide the slider into the negative range. Around -6 would probably do the trick! Let me know if you need help.

Also, at the end there are only two seconds of silence and we need five. If you could paste some in, that would be great!

Thank you m8b1.

I think I have sorted your PL notes. I am using audacity but on my macbook so I think my version is a little different (I have had my macbook since 2015...)

If the volume is still a little loud, I may need to take a screenshot and ask a question. It's my first time recording for LibriVox. I am sure once this first recording is sorted, the others will be easier.

Let me know. Also, thanks for putting me in the catalogue.

Hi Jade,

The volume is still too high. I would ask in Need Help for advice viewforum.php?f=23

And more specifically, there is a Audacity Help thread here: viewtopic.php?t=40238

I don't know anything about Macs!

I tried again. I will get there. I hope it is within the correct range (not too loud this time).

Sorry - I feel awkward using an old macbook...

Chapter 14 - (14:39ss)

Thanks Jade.
