Thank you Tovarisch for proof listening. I read Igor Severyanin of course and not yuri and I believe it is pretty clear. Hope this section is PL ok.

Yes, Tovarisch, thank you for your help, I could pick it up from here. It may take a while though :-(

Marina, this is not a correct filename, there should be "04":

I could rename it myself, but in future please note it is important for book-building.

The file got lost in our db crash day before yesterday, I hope you still have it on your computer.
Thank you, Tovarisch. I replaced the file, and I believe you said it was PL OK... Please correct me if I'm wrong, meanwhile I'll mark it OK.

Yes, I remember listening to section 6 after you'd replaced it, and it was PL OK.

Thank you, Marina! The sections sound good, there are small technical glitches.
The head post #7 says:
No more than 0.5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning of the recording!
...
There should be 5 seconds silence at the end of the recording, or 10 seconds for files longer than 30 minutes.

I hear:
sec. 03: 1.5 sec at the beginning / 6.5 sec at the end.
sec.04: 2.5 / 3
sec.16: good / 7.5
sec.19: good / 6.5
Would you please cut the excessive pauses?

Also, sec.3 is too loud, would you please reduce the volume by 4 dB?

Sec.18 PL OK, thank you, Tovarisch!

Hi Mark,

I will not be at my home computer (with audacity and checker) this weekend. And next week I am leaving for a business trip up until November 20. If you could kindly cut the pauses and low the volume for section 3 it would be much appreciated

Marina is not available to make the corrections (congratulations to her on her new granddaughter!), I made some of them, others are left as is, not a big deal. Time to finish this project.
Mary Ann, the book is ready for your magic. Please rename the first track as noted.
Thank you, all!
