If I have anything not quite right, Tricia will let me know!

Speak of the devil....?

Just sticking in my nose about the copyright year. I don't think it's really important exactly which year goes in the database entry. We know it's PD, and that's the most important part.

My effects:

While editing, I'll use de-clicker on the occasional mouth click

After editing:
- Leveler (only to settle down some occasional vowel "blasts")
- Noise reduction
- Volume adjustment if needed, but usually not needed (I check with ReplayGain and then use Amplify if needed)

Because it was just a copyright renewal rather than a whole new copyright. Confusing, I know.

If you click on the html link, the text is there.

Funny, I can't directly link it, but one can view the text online.

This is a different text source than you verified. This one doesn't give the edition it was read from, so it's more suspect. You should record from the Faded Page edition.

(I'm not MC'ing; I'm full up on projects right now.)

1) Experience, knowing that works published in 1923 and later (for a while) had to be copyright-renewed 28 years after publication, or else they fell into the public domain. And math: 1928+28=1956. 2) I did look up the copyright renewal here: https://exhibits.stanford.edu/copyrightrenewals/catalog?e...

I am not sure I understand what you mean by "effects chain". Do you mean, what series of effects need to be used? That depends on your setup, mostly - if it needs to be amplified or is too loud, if the bit rate or sample rate is incorrect, etc. When you put one of your files through checke...

It looks to me like that text source is okay. While it has the 1956 copyright date on it, that's the 28th-year renewal of the original. So yes, this appears to be PD.

Thanks! 18-20 PL OK.

That Primus is a hoot! But I'm glad I don't have to deal with him. LOL!

Next chapter is up. The healing!

Is there a gain knob or setting for that mic? You shouldn't have to amplify that much on a regular basis.

That would be great! I'll put you in - and move this to Going Solo.

Assigned, thanks!

And with that, we're full!

Done! Thank you. So many little things like that can get overlooked.
