There were a few minor issues, which I am inclined to leave to your discretion. In other words, if you do not think they distract sufficiently to change, I will accept the reading as is and OK it.

At 1:54 and 3:14, there is a b-b-b-b-b sound that pops up--but very briefly.

And there is the slightest repeat at 4:31 "the sup, the superb fellows."

I am obligated for the standard PL to note repeats and background noise, but for the most part the editing is required if these things interfere with the reading. Let me know what you want to do.
Jim

Thank you- I'll take a look a those parts again and decide what I'll so.

It'll take longer unfortunately

There's something wrong with my microphone- it makes a strange buzzing sound. I think I need to get a new one. Any ideas on a good brand?

You might do a search for "microphones" on the comments/suggestions forum. There have been a number of threads through the years where people discussed options.

Personally, I have loved by Blue Yeti - available at Amazon in a variety of colors for ~$130. Might be a bit pricey, but if you have room in your budget, lot of folks use the Yeti, so it's a proven winner around LV.

I sent several PMs but don't see a record of those. Did you receive? Jim

Hello! Sorry for the very slow response, I did not get any private messages!


I got a new microphone, and plan on continuing with this project!

Reader has not been on the forums for 8 months. This project will be "abandoned" and opened up for another volunteer to take it over, either as a BC or a soloist.

Sure Jim. That would be great. I'll change some things behind the scenes, and see if I can assign the first post to you (so you can edit if you want to).

OK Jim, you are set.

Is section 2 salvageable, or do you want to re-record it?

I think it is passable. Those errors are very minor as I recall. Thanks for getting me going. Jim
