Algernon never married, nor is there any mention of a serious girlfriend on Wikipedla, and yet he describes this overwhelming attraction. Whadeyathink?

Well, the higher I amplify it the more likely it is to heighten the background noise as well, and the noise reduction can only do so much. I just bumped them all up to above 88db though.

I just noticed this amidst all the discussion, and wanted to share my Noise Reduction method:
When I finish recording, before I edit a thing, I save the file as an mp3, bring it into Checker and make adjustments to the file to bring the volume up to 89.5 or thereabouts. After that, I take a noise sample from the Outro silence, and do a noise reduction with settings of 12/6/6/Reduce, which lowers volume just a wee bit throughout. If I still have too much background noise, I take a new sample, and do a second pass using that.. Of course, you have to take a noise sample on your edits before you plug them in, too, but 1 is usually enough.

20:50 - 21:22 and 21:44 - 21:57 and 22:05 - 22:19 volume at 98 exceeds LV limits. Recommend Amplify -6. I notice no loss of intensity of expression in thus treating each of these 3 segments.

Love this expression: the cisterns of thought!

12 is PL OK.

37:07 a rustle of papers or some such for about a second.

I kept thinking "Algernon lays down thin layer upon thin layer of suspense, much like a 3D printer builds an object. That's talent!"

how bout now?

[msfry]

15 is OK now. You owe me 15 minutes, Mister, and I'm gonna claim it somehow, somewhere, right when you least expect it! Heh heh.

I did really like this story. A bit off his usual ghost and murder theme but anxiety-filled nontheless.

16 is PL OK, and looks like another Ben Tucker solo is going "in the can". I really enjoyed the collection, partly because of the stories and partly because you read them all superlatively! Good job.

I look forward to finding out what's next on your list.

Thanks once again for your DPL work as well!

As far as what's next, I just adding a new one to the launch pad, a rather odd, short collection called The Swine-Gods and Other Visions by Regina Meriam Bloch I had read about in an article on Women of Weird Fiction.
