Re: ~OPEN [fairy tales] The Children's Wonder Book -ck

The volume on section 9 is too high at 93.3dB. We aim for 89dB with an acceptable range or 86-92dB. Instead of a straight decrease of amplification you may want to give compression or leveling a try as it will not lower your low volume areas, e.g. ~4:30.

There are two things to fix in each recording (the same two things in each): - the volume is a little bit high, around 92 dB. Please amplify by -3 . - at the end of the recording, after yo...
