Done that

I'll sort everything out

Chapter 1 is PL OK

You have terrific reading style, by the way.

Will it bother you if I "jot" a page note on the next chapter's line as we move along, so it's easy for me to open the source to the correct point the next time I pull it up?

Thank you very much, I really appreciate that

Regarding your comment as to jotting a page note… I don’t quite understand what you mean, so let’s try it and see how it goes

Do you think Chapter 2 is a bit loud? Mp3 Gain says it's 1.5DB above 89DB. Shall I resubmit it after amending the volume?

Hey, Adrian - I'll be PLing ch. 2 later today, but NO, I don't think it's too loud. I already ran it through Checker when I downloaded it with 1 yesterday, and both came out right around 91 dB. We can go up to 92 and be within LV's parameters.

In all honesty, as an audiobook listener, I **LOVE** it when readers' files are at the 90-91 range. Everything lower is hard to hear when I want to listen while doing things like washing dishes, pulling weeds, piecing quilts, etc. My ears do not like earbuds in them, so I rely on speakers. I'm not the only one like this, either, so all of us who don't do earbuds/headphones are grateful for readers who don't sit in the 86-88 dB range for their recordings.

I totally forgot, when I posted for Section 1, that I'd wanted to thank you for having a nice higher-range volume on your recordings. The only thing to watch for is that sometimes folks get distortion if they're getting that 91-92 range by being closer than their microphone likes to do. I didn't hear any of that going on in your section 1.

Thanks Lynette. Intriguing window into the life of a Proof Listener there

I've read Chapter 4 now https://librivox.org/uploads/lynnet/memories_and_adventures_04_doyle_128kb.mp3

HI,
I thought I'd tell you that I'm on holiday from Friday 10th to Friday 17th September in Wales, UK. I won't be doing any reading that week but I will be back afterwards, well rested and ready to continue the fray

No problem about your break

I meant the volume stuff as a "regular" listener of audiobooks, not from my prooflistening hat - I pay closer attention to the recording/source while doing that work than I do when "just" listening to a finished book.

Hi,
Here is Chapter 5 https://librivox.org/uploads/lynnet/memories_and_adventures_05_doyle_128kb.mp3

Chapter 3 is PL OK

Edit: As is Chapter 4

It's a wonder he didn't drown, with all the times he describes falling off the boat or the ice!
