Yes, that full description is what is needed. :) Someone will be along to set this up for you. I just took on a more complicated project, and my MC plate is full. It won't take long to get an MC.

I double checked your template, and it looks good. You could probably go ahead and start recording if you like, then start uploading once you get an MC.

Hi, Elisabeth!

I will MC this project for you and set it up shortly. This is your first solo, right? Have you edited a Magic Window before?

EDIT: Obviously no to my second question. :) I will PM you the instructions shortly.

Kristine :)
Keep your mind here and now, where it belongs.

While we are sorting out things still behind the scenes, I'll move this to the proper place - the solos forum.

Fantastic! I will listen either later today or tomorrow. Have you figured out how to get into/use the Magic Window yet?

Sounds great! I haven't figured out how to get into the MW yet. Each time that I try to login, I get a message telling me that I am not authorized. :(

Hmm.. weird. Just to make sure, are you trying to log in using your forum username and password, or have you gone through the steps to set another password (well it can be the same one, but you just have to reset it if that makes sense)?

I've gone through the steps and set up a new/separate password on the Librivox Workflow page. I've tried re-doing it, re-starting my computer, everything I could think of in case it's some type of glitch.

Bizarre. I have no idea what it could be. Maybe Kristine will have an idea? Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
