OK, Ok, SmartyPants

I've seen several people bite off more than they could chew, then disappear never to be heard of again

Our DPL will listen shortly, so be sure to check back to see if she has corrections/edits for you.
In the meantime, I've signed you up for 6

Sorry it took me so long to get working on this...

Our internet was out for a few days and I've been pretty busy. Of course it would happen just when some new chapters were uploaded...

Chapters 4 & 5 are PL OK, but the volume on chapters 5 & 6 is a little low. I'm listening to chapter 6 now...

Nick,
You can check your volume using a free program called "Checker", then make adjustments as necessary. We aim for 89dB, but anything 87 - 91 is usually acceptable.

I did run both files through the checker before uploading. Chapter 5 is 89db, 6 is 88.8db
What do you suggest?

That should be OK, then... I'm not sure what AlaynaMay was getting at.

the old version of the checker still shows a warning about low volume at 88.9 db, but doesnt tell you exactly how loud the file is. the newer version has the actual db value

That might explain it. Thank you, Carolin. Nick's files should be fine for volume.
