My girls discovered a glitch at the beginning of chapter 11 -- some accidentally repeated text. I'll fix that, too. We just about have all of the credits finished.

Looks good. And the girls are working on the chapter-by-chapter right now. Should have it soon.

So, the other Bailey stories in the series are all similar, according to this boilerplate? If that's the case, I'd prefer to leave it as-is.

Ok, the general cast list is easy, after all: Michael Caine - Narrator Michaila Caine - Jasper Jay Alana and Emma Caine - all various other characters (We could list them out, but I'm not sure it would bear more value, for the reader, than this summary.) For chapter-by-chapter credits - the girls ar...

Ok, I just snipped the tail on that and reposted 21. Hopefully it's not too abrupt now. Regarding the "blurb" -- I think that's fine... perhaps Larry has something to add?

Also, by "blurb", do you mean the bit on page one of this thread that says "Arthur Scott Bailey, a native of the ...", or is there another spot that you might direct my attention?

Sonia: yes, I got all that in at the end of Chapter 21, but my daughter also said, "This is a Librivox recording. All Librivox recordings are in the public domain. For more information..." -- she actually just rattled this off from having listened to so many librivox books. :) But if that'...

And... I cheated on 20. Instead of re-recording, I stole (most of) the missing bit from where I'd said it elsewhere. It's cheap, but sometimes it's hard to get a good timbre match, and my mic setup isn't in the usual place. I know this was considered "optional", as a small enough imperfect...

Alright, 17 and 21 are ready for review. 17 db down from 92.2 to 90.8 (iirc)... my checker says that 92 is the upper end? I wasn't sure if it was 90 or 92... I could bring it down more, but I realized, as I looked at the source file, that I'd saturated a little, so I'm reluctant to go too far. I add...

Ahhhh, I see... I can easily notch 17s volume down. I'll do that tonight. I **do** also need to fix 21 -- the very end needs the final "end-of-book" phrase. That's the other thing I'll do tonight. As for that little clip-out in the audio -- that was a flaw that came in on recording. I'll s...

Ok, great... and I do have original copies myself. I only worried about doing an operation on the mp3, as opposed to working in the full-quality WAV, as I normally do. I agree, I don't think it'll be an issue... but I didn't listen through all the way to verify that outright.

Ok, I uploaded a resampled chapter 19. I can't quite tell, though, since the URL stayed the same; I'm assuming that I just overwrote the original, and all is well, but would you mind double-checking me? Alright, I just did the same with chapter 3, but, somehow, I misplaced my chapter 3 and 21 projec...

Oh, yes, good catch on chapter 3 -- I'd forgotten that I did that out of order, at the same time. Fixing those will be easy. I'll try tonight, but might be more time-limited than I thought. Tomorrow night should be clear.

Most likely, all the other files are fine. I use your "Checker" app, and it does detect that. I'm pretty puzzled at how that one got through, but it may be that I just failed to use the Checker app on that file. It was probably an exception. Also, I changed my recording setup a bit at that...

Ok, I had to work harder at 20, but I just finished it. I think it will do -- let me know. I also discovered that, since 19, I've had my (working) project rates set to 48k rather than 44.1k, so I just set 19 back to "PL Notes" to remind myself to re-export that as 44.1k. I'll do that and g...
