From section 2 onwards, shall I read the disclaimer as "section number" instead of "chapter"? Because there are no real chapters in the book.

PL NOTES:

Sorry to be behind, but I'm back from my travels.

First, I think you need to add the Section Number to your outro. This will help keep the reader oriented to where they are in the book. For the Introduction, just say, "End of Introduction." For the others, "End of Section 2" etc.

The volume on these last section is high. 3 is 91.7 dB -- just in range, but 4 and 5 are 92.2 db - just above the range. Your Introduction is closer to the target of 89 dB, at 89.4 dB. Since this is a solo, it would be better to keep them close to the same level for volume.

These three section also seem to have a lot of background noise, mostly a squealing noise of some kind. This can't be edited out, but I thought I'd mention it. I think so general noise reduction might help the all.

So, here are my additional notes:

Section 3
Ending silence is only 4 seconds; should be closer to 5

Section 4
0:54 gap in phrase “so in the [gap] I-know-not-what mood” that is jarring to the ear.
1:53-57 loud background noise (just mentioning)
Only three seconds of silence; should be closer to five seconds.

So, just a few things to take care of, then I think you're off to a good start.
On the road again, so delays are possible

Thanks.

All are better on volume. :thumbs:

Section 4 still doesn't have the section number, and Section 1, which I mentioned but forgot to mark, needs the outro, "End of Preface."

Hello!

Section 4 and 1 are ready for spot PL. Also, I have a question: there are a couple of footnotes in the next section. How should I read them? Do I add it in , in the middle of the letter or read it after the letter?

It's your decision but it usually makes sense to include them in the text rather than at the end of the section.
