Thank you for claiming! :D

I just need to know under what name to credit you in the catalogue - this can be your forum name, or your real name, or something else. We can also link to a personal website or blog, if you would like.

Oh, and feel free to ask if you have any questions :) Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot! Our proof listener will listen in the next few days and let you know if anything needs fixing. One little thing - when you post a file, could you please also let me know the run time in mm:ss - that's just to make sure the whole file uploaded properly. :) Thank you!

Great job with such a long section for Section 9! There's some things that need fixing:

2:14 repeat
3:04 repeat "that it was built"
4:48 repeat "we have not got"
5:40 repeat "why we should not"
6:10 repeat "and as to"
6:28 repeat "well above the"
7:04 repeat
8:32-35 repeat
9:29 repeat "wrapped it around"
12:02 stumble
12:56 repeat "I think"
13:38 repeat "ten louis"
14:46 repeat "interstices" (pronounced in--ter--stiss (as in swiss)--is)
15:16-20 repeat "they saw nothing of mike"
15:20 repeat "but as"
15:33-35 repeat "as soon as it was dark they recommenced work"
18:55 repeat "after getting"
19:22 repeat
19:33 stumble over "gentry" (pronounced Jen-tree)
19:42 repeat "though it is no blame"
20:01 repeat "which goes on"
20:11 repeat "for he had"
20:32 repeat "at all"
21:30 repeat "indignantly"
21:37 repeat "after"
22:14 repeat "but she made"
22:18-22 repeat "and it seemed to her to be a bit of an old bill"
22:32 repeat "where it came"
22:54 repeat "carry it"
23:52 repeat "out of"
24:33 repeat "with water all round"
26:29 repeat "hundred"
26:56 stumble "I had got"
28:45 repeat "paid"
28:40 repeat "Huguenot" (pronounced "hugh--guh (as in gun)--not"
29:02 repeat "he told me"
29:19 repeat "I had not been"
30:09 repeat "if you do"
31:48 repeat "in the old"
32:27 repeat "it would have been"
32:36 repeat "they could see"
32:51 repeat "but the certainty"
33:09 repeat "The king"
You need 5 seconds of silence at the end.

Great job! :D

Sure thing! I knew there was quite a bit of error though didn't know the level of acceptability. I will make sure to keep this in mind for future reference and get around to fixing it up within a few days.

Awesome! :)
Just a tip - if you start at the bottom of the list and cut out the repeats, all the time stamps will stay correct, which they wouldn't if you started at the beginning :) Could you also change the second part of the intro to say "Chapter 7" instead of "Chapter 9"? The very beginning is correct, as Section 9. :)
To add the extra silence onto the end, you can just copy and paste what's already there. It should be ten seconds if the recording is still over half an hour, or five seconds if all the edits bring it down to less than that.
You've also got a bit of background noise - it isn't bad, but you might benefit from some noise cleaning. Maybe try it out on a portion of the file and see if you like how it sounds :)

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for noting that! :oops: I remember thinking the intro sounded funny and then I forgot to check it.
