You are pretty new at this, Bill, and taking on a solo of such difficult material, so soon, is huge. Laying down track, editing out extraneous material, learning Audacity's tricks and setting up Keystrokes, playing with Effects -- all take time and practice. I had a wonderful coach, and now I am happy to coach you. And I did very much the same as you -- tackling Jules Verne's unabridged
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea as my first solo, not counting a simple little book called
Memories of Childhood's Slavery Days, run time under 2 hours, which I finished in a week, that my mentor Phil suggested I cut my teeth on. By contrast, Leagues run time is almost 17 hours, and with all those scientific terms, took me 6 months to complete! I had a patient and wonderful DPL, too, who stuck with me to the end and helped keep my spirits up.
So you didn't realize you could both raise and lower tempo using the + and - symbols? Something so obvious to me, I didn't even think to tell you. Ah well, now you know. And this applies to Amplify, Bass, and most other Effects. They adjust up and down. FYI, I tend to read too fast, then after I've edited my piece, I generally adjust Tempo down -2. Sometimes I'll slow a short segment down as much as -6, and once or twice I've corrected a word slur using -12. It stretches the wave form out just right. Tempo = Great Effect!
I presume this means you are ready for me to PL Section 2? They say 3rd time's a charm. Let's hope so.
And I won't PL any other of those sections you have uploaded earlier until you're sure they are your final version.
Take your time.
I will get back to you soon on 02.
) -- creating a "prepared environment" for children to learn in, one that harnesses the child's natural curiosity and desire to touch things as the means of shaping their habits and interest in learning. That was exactly my line of work for 30 years! Of course, he is speaking of society as the adult classroom, but the principle is the same.
