I'll be on vacation through September 5th. I will try to check in daily, but I might miss a few days. I'll definitely catch up when I get back. :D

Thanks, Tekksavvy. Can you tell me the new length for each of them?

The first version of section 13 was not PLed. Did you make corrections to it that you noticed yourself? Or did you make corrections to another file? Sections 5 and 6 still have PL corrections for you.

Thanks.
John

Hi tekksavvy318,

Sorry for the delay, I was taken in by real life. Thanks for your updated versions.
To get an overview for myself I made a list of the 'open' sections and I hope you'll find it also helpful to see the state of affairs.

Section 04: PL OK!
Section 05: 5 secs end silence are needed. ID3 tag for title should be: 05 - John Helffrich's Journal
Section 06: PL OK!
Section 07: 'Technically' it would be PL OK. Do you still have the original file? The noise-cleaning did not only cleaned noise but also endings.
Section 13: There seems to be a comment about editing at 2:11 ('… it again'). The ID3 tag for title should be: 13 - Independence Day While It was New

Note to self: Do not claim sections where switching between English and German occurs... (I start having an English accent in the German and my German accent gets far worse during the English parts :roll:)

Hi Julia,

Section 3 is PL OK! :thumbs: Don't be worried about the accent.
I would rather be worried about conversing with yourself. I'm just kidding, of course. :mrgreen:

Hi John,

I was trying to overcome the temptation but I'm not able to resist: would it be okay if I would claim section 8? :hmm:
