Jo:

Thank you so much for your work. If arisha can't re-record I agree we should just let it go (although it's too bad about the spark/spirit and noise issue!).

ASI is still up and running, so I am sure the broken link is a temporary server issue- alas the internet is not glitch-free! I'll check back tomorrow and see if it's up again. [UPDATE: SITE BACK UP]

Here are the PL notes:

Standard PL: Section 06
Repeats:
~4:52 it is on him…
~7:57 a stranger to…
5 seconds of silence missing at the end of the file
Titel tag does not name chapter

Standard PL: Section 09
Low volume plus noise a prevented proof listening
(NOTE FROM ETTELOCIN: new file uploaded & waiting PL)

Standard PL: Section 12
rather low volume
5 seconds of silence missing at the end of the file
No Album tag
Titel tag does not name chapter

Standard PL: Section 24
Low volume and noise
(NOTE FROM ETTELOCIN: I did my best with the noise and marked it okay)

Standard PL: Section 27 to "exertions of self-command."
During first ~2 minutes excessive background noise, a constant buzz; many moves of micro.

I listened to section 9 tonight. The audio volume is still quite low and there is appreciable background noise. I tried my hand at editing it, but my attempts distorted the recording to the point that it was hard to listen to (I did not upload my efforts since they were not any better) Not sure what to do about this file...

Wendel,

I think putzya's reading itself is really great! But I agree that the noise may be just too problematic. Jo, would you recommend opening it back up to another reader?

Best,
nikki

Let me take a look at it and see what can be done with the noise first.

That is a tough file to clean up without adversely affecting the reader's voice, but here are a couple of noise cleaned versions to choose from. See what you think -

If you don't like either of these then we can see if someone else can do a better job on them or if all else fails then I guess you could have someone else read the chapter.

I'll get this fixed, but it will have to wait until my voice recovers from the cold I have at the moment.

Sorry for the further delay here.

Corrected section 18 has been uploaded and I am working on getting everything ready to catalog here.
