Oh, dear. :? Yes, that was a mistake on my part. I apologize for that.

I’ll ask Lynette if she can record the lines.

Chapter 6 is PL OK! :thumbs:

That was a lovely chapter — well-read and well-put together. Those group lines sounded great, Campbell!

PL note for Chapter 10 (and 9):

My only PL note is that the first couple words of the intro seem to be fading in. I also forget to mention that about Chapter 9.

I’m guessing this happens because you’re applying the compressor tool (which I’m a big fan of!)? I noticed that compression makes the beginning of a track fade in, and to avoid this, I add a 15-second silence to the beginning, apply compression to the entire track, and then cut out the 15-second silence.

Thanks for pointing that out. Yes, I do use the compressor (which I also love). I usually try to avoid processing much as to prevent things like this, but I find that the compressor helps me match volumes between chapters. That's a good tip which I will definitely use in the future. Here are Chapters 9 and 10. I'm not going to fix any non-PLed chapters yet in case there are other issues.

Rapunzelina,

I don't know if this really matters or not, but LikeManyWaters and her son both read in Chapter 9. So would you want me to just enter in her name once for that chapter? Or two times to count for both of them?

You can enter the name once. I think however times you enter the same name, they get credited just once on their page, so it doesn't really matter.
