Re: DR: Emily of New Moon by L. M. Montgomery

I understand your hesitancy, and I do not, nor will not take it personally if you decide on someone else, but, you have no one else, right? I am willing and able to start immediately and will see it through as long as you are forthcoming with the levels of expectation regarding deadlines and co-op ...

Re: [Weekly Poetry] A Serenade by Thomas Hood - dl

I am West Wood! what a fun little poem, that I TOTALLY did not try for far too long to determine if this was two different characters or one character with an internal dialogue Right!? I'm still not certain on that point, but this was just too fun to pass up. Thank you very much for joining us! :mr...

Re: recording level question

Well, you beat me to an answer! I'll continue to post this in case it also helps someone. :wink: ---- Perhaps the .5 to 1 is not in the units the waveform meter shows, but in terms of the height of the waveform display itself.

Re: [Weekly Poetry] A Serenade by Thomas Hood - dl

I am a bit confused about what went wrong here. I run everything past ACX checker and it shows Peak -3db, RMS -19.42 and Noise -61.32. All these meet the criteria for ACX check.
