Chapter 3 - ok, this should be the final. Re-edited and deleted all the unnatural pauses and also applied the recommended effects to levelize the vocals a bit and got volume to 91.9 dB so passed checker in the green

Have spent the morning working on a few shortuts and microphone configuaration and settings because I'm not happy with my tone or the extreme volume variances in my voice, and definitely want a different keyboard layout to let me start, stop and listen more easily. So far I like what I'm getting but...

Ok, will do! Thanks

Ok, I'll check it out. When I tried to apply the compressor it shrunk the file to half and failed the checker. Sounded muddled and awful too on my speakers. Tried to compress 5 different settings and no luck. But I never have any luck with PC. Feel free to compress and adjust if it works on your sys...

Chapter 3 - Post-zoom session....I hope its an improvement! Worked on pauses and articulation, also proof listened.

Mom, here's Chapter 1 - it's "edited" but I didn't play with the compression, high pass or low pass filters, etc, and I didn't run it through checker, because 1) no time today and 2) I thought maybe you could look at the volume, equalization etc and zoom me on how you'd adjust/handle the p...

Great! Looking forward to putting this together, y'all
. I'm reading the book a bit to get the characters in my head, but plan to start recording this week!

Ok, will do! Thanks for the advice!
