MaryAnn, thank you very much for all of your help.

Jean, thank you very much for signing on a DPL, I really appreciate it. I should have been clearer in my last post, I was referring to MaryAnn as an MC, which is a Librivox abbreviation for Meta Coordinator. They do all the work of setting up, supervising and cataloging projects, determining public domain status, and many other things. One of the great things about LibriVox is that there can be multiple solo recordings of a particular book, since different readers bring a different experience to the listener.

I have uploaded sections 2 and 3, they are (I think) now in the magic window and ready for proof listening.

Zach - I listened to the first section, and it's perfect. Very smooth. I don't know if you had any edits in there, but I couldn't tell if you did!

That's very kind of you. I could never be a live reader, I end up spending about 3-4 times as much time editing as I do recording each section. I have a mild stammer, and some sentences take me 8 or 10 tries to get started. Thanks to the miracle of digital recording and editing I can easily cut out all of the messes I make and be left with something that sounds okay. Thank you very much for being willing to be the DPL for this project, I really appreciate it.

Zach - the second section is also flawless. The only comment I would make is that I'm not sure about the female voices that you use. I don't think it's necessary for the story, and I find it rather disconcerting when the voices change. But I am certainly not the final authority on anything! Just an observation.

Thank you for the feedback, I'll have to think it over and see what I can do to make them better. I certainly don't want to disconcert future listeners. I'll be doing some recording tomorrow and will experiment with some possibilities.

I’ve re-recorded the dialogue, and have made notes below of the areas that will therefore need spot PL checks. I’m working on Section 4, which I recorded a few days ago, and will have it ready to upload later today. Thank you very much.

Section 2

19:25 to 20:56


Section 3

1:33 to 1:43

5:21 to 5:32

6:02 to 6:15

7:24 to 8:41

12:46 to 13:07

25:15 to 25:37

I forgot to correct the volume before uploading section 4, but I have fixed it now and put the newly uploaded file in the Magic Window. Chapter 5 is now also ready for PL.

Zach - just a very few notes on section 4.

At 1:48, you changed the word "design" to "sign."

At 4:36, you left out the phrase "she said."

At 7:28, you left out "although I had expected to."

Section 5 next!

Thank you for all of your help. I've done the corrections in Section 4 and it's ready for spot PL, and 6,7, and 8 are now uploaded too.
