Still two weeks before the deadline runs out, so there is a bit of time still, but I'm happy to see the end of the project approachingAvenFinn wrote:Just wanted to check in to say I realize my two month mark is quickly approaching, but I haven't forgotten and I fully intend to deliver!

wohoo, thank you, AvenFinn. Will listen to this today still, so please stay tuned for any correctionsavenfinn wrote: ↑January 25th, 2021, 12:13 am Sorry for making you all wait with bated breath! Finally, my first take. Hopefully it won't need much more editing:

You did super well for your first bigger section, and I'm glad you participated in this project.
One could manually amplify those parts, but you don't need to do that for this section, as the parts are still understandable, although a bit low. I only mention it that you could pay attention to it for your future sections (which are many I hope)Hi Sonia,Kitty wrote: ↑January 25th, 2021, 5:31 amok now I had a listen and it was wonderfully narrated in full character voices, very engagingly performed.avenfinn wrote: ↑January 25th, 2021, 12:13 amSorry for making you all wait with bated breath!

There are only two minor corrections to be done, so no need to re-record the whole thing ! Just two spot editings:
> at 6:04: (p. 244): "this is an acquaintance of mine who owes me 1880 pounds" – you only say "1800" (the sum is often mentioned in the story)
> at the end: we leave a standard of 5 seconds of silence, so as not to stop too abruptly. You only have 2 seconds, could you please add 3 more ?
Simply reupload with the exact same file name then the old file will get replaced by the new one.
Just one note for further recordings...be careful with the volume of your voice all throughout the chapter. Sometimes you are very loud at other times you barely whisper, which for a reader is difficult to understand then. Volume fluctuations should be kept to a minimum, so you can uniformely amplify to our desired limits of between 86 and 92 dB (average of 89 dB would be preferred). Checker tells me you now just reach inside the accepted minimum of 86. (86.4 dB) but since many parts are louder than others, I suspect those low parts do not even reach 86 dB.
Thank you
Sonia
yes this looks good. I would only edit the sentence about the suspicion mounting against him a little bit. The woman was actually much more under suspicion and he wanted to prove her innocence which in turn made him look a bit like a partner in crime.WiltedScribe wrote: ↑January 25th, 2021, 4:31 pmOK Sonia, I modified the summary to something a bit more complete. Hopefully it suffices!
WiltedScribe wrote: ↑January 26th, 2021, 12:29 am OK, I've edited it to reflect that point. Hopefully it's suitable now!
better yes, thank you ! So now I'm only waiting for Aven to correct the last file and then we're all set to catalogue. 
I think the sentence is wonderfully patched in and I don't notice the sound difference much.
This is PL ok and that means I'll proceed to catalogue now 
so I'm glad it's done and dusted now.
