No problem.

Actually I have just landed a contract to do a professional audiobook so I have to make that priority - new chapters may be a bit slower in coming for the next three or four weeks.

Hope the exams go well!

I promise I will catch up once I have a break from exams!

No hurry at all, honestly. I'm just giving you something to work on before I disappear for a bit!

A short break, yes...

In Chapter 28 I hear a background hiss from 25:30 until the end. Could you check please?

Well that's odd. I've listened on pretty good headphones and I can't hear any anomaly. Are you sure it was 28?

Yes, it is 28. I put side by side a snippet from the first minute and the last and amplified it a few dBs. The first is totally silent even after the amplification, but you can hear the hissing in the second part.

It's not a big deal though, I probably got overzealous while PLing commercial audiobooks

That's SO weird.

I can't fix it properly without distorting the voice, so I've pasted in some clean silence in the gaps between the speech. It's not perfect but it sounds better. I hope it will do. Given that I didn't hear it before at all without the volume turned right up, I think it will probably pass?

Sure

Looking forward to the next chapters!
