Today is Catch-Up-On-PL-Day, yay!

I very much enjoyed the story of Thomas the Rhymer!

It didn't go quite the way I thought it would, but had a much nicer outcome for Thomas than I expected!

There are a couple of notes to be addressed.

Needs more silence at the beginning. There should be 0.5 to 1 second of silence, and there's hardly any. Some players will cut off the first little bit, and we don't want your intro chopped short.
At 6:56-7:16, something is going on with the sound. "So Thomas dismounted.....and each of these three roads was different." The volume is very low, and it sounds muffled. Almost like bad reception on the radio. Maybe the mic cord was loose?

"Troutie, Troutie, in the pond, am I the fairest in the londe?"

One note for story two:

Again there is not enough silence, but in fact it's more than that. You first word is cut off. I hear: "-ory 2 of The Scottish Fairy Book"

Story 6 is PL ok!

It made me chuckle a little to hear that the page boy was "an adventurous wight." You only hear that word in Tolkien nowadays, but I'd heard that it used to be very common and just means "person." This was the first time I'd come across it since hearing that little tidbit.

The Black Bull of Norroway is PL ok! This one was my favorite so far. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time!

I liked Black Bull of Norroway too, MightyFelix! The others I will fix this weekend, and I have some more recorded which I hope to put up as well.

Thank you for your help,

Nan

Here are stories 1 and 2. I can't say I'm perfectly satisfied with them, but they are "fixed" and ready for spot pl.

I'm a little discouraged with this project. Somehow those easy breezy 1912 children's books are so much easier!

I just noticed that the filename for section 5 is incorrect. Just upload again with the correct filename and change the link in the MW. Thanks.

Chapters 1, 2, and 10 are PL ok.

When I saw the run time of chapter 10, I thought for sure it was a typo!

Cute rhyme, though.

Post by **mightyfelix** » November 4th, 2018, 9:02 pm

Chapter 8 is PL ok.

Post by **mightyfelix** » November 4th, 2018, 9:21 pm

And 9 PL ok. This one was new to me! Very interesting.
