    IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
    Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Either of these would be OK to use.

(I won't be MC'ing this; it's not PD for me.)

ChuckW,
Thank You!... Well, we're just waiting on an MC... should pass any smell test, I've confirmed it was PD...

You might be a little busy at first, I've already completed about 5 chapters (namely just to see if I felt comfortable doing and completing it before committing to it, First attempt at a solo)... but it'll probably slow down a little after that... )

Woohoo!

Just an FYI, Curt: I'm going to try to get through the five chapters you've already recorded and edited throughout the weekend. I might try to do one or two files a day, just to keep this on schedule. I'll be honest: I'm usually not the fastest DPL. But I'm definitely eager to start working on this with you. Let's get started. :-)

Listened to Chapters 1 and 2. Very nicely read. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Both are mostly perfect, although only Chapter 2 can be counted as PL OK. Chapter 1 is missing the five seconds of silence at the end. Otherwise, they're both flawless.

Looking forward to getting through the rest. :-)

that is odd... I have the 5-6 seconds in my DAW...
in any case, I re-rendered the mp3... and re-uploaded the file Just in case something was missing...
also, I verified that the silence is between 23m:09s - 23m:15s ...
