Outstanding job! The only correction you have to make is that the 'silent' time at the beginning of the recording needs to be .5-1 second. Yours is about 2 seconds. Just that one correction, and all will be well.

One small note. Your volume is 86.6, which is within the 86-92 Librivox range, with a goal of 89. If you haven't come across it yet, a great program to help us is the Checker program (https://cgjennings.ca/projects/checker/). It can tell you your volume, background noise and other information.

I am looking forward to listening to more of your work.

Wayne

Joanna,

I don't know how I missed these two, but I finally got them.

Chapter 4: Beautiful corrections. Seamless! Chapter 4 is PLOK

Chapter 5 has a very few little things to fix:

2:57.5 and was about to take to his heels as usual. You left out “to” between take and his

~5:48.5 Again, here, like in the last chapter, there is a pause between given and him (like you expected 'to' to be there). If you could close them up, like you did the last one, it would flow a little better, I think.

11:06 Let us get to work You contracted it to Let's. I think the more formal phraseology would go better with the context.

15:53 and beaming eyes. You added “the” between and and beaming.

Ending. You slightly miss counted. The ending silence is six, instead of five seconds. Easy fix!

I am really enjoying these. Keep up the good work.

Wayne

What did you decide to do with this one?
If it is a new recording then it needs a full PL instead of just a Spot PL.

For now, I've marked both 2 and 5 Ready for Spot PL.

It was just spot editing. I was able to adjust EQ via Pro Tools to reduce background noise. I put it through the Checker and it passed. Also I was able to increase the DB in general. It looks about the same height as the other chapters I recorded so hopefully we're all in the clear!

Thank you for indulging my request to record most of the book! My childhood revolved around reading many picture books about the childhood of these maestros, that I still own to this day. It was a treat reading the unabridged and translated versions so thank you again for creating this project.

Oh, our pleasure to have you!
If we had caught this a little earlier, we could have set it up as a true solo project. But, it will be fine as it is.
Wayne we be along after his trip and give you a report on any final changes that you may need.

Thanks so much.

Joanna,

Quite the story of an amazing man. Thank you for sharing you talents to allow many others to learn more about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

I have finally caught up. Here are my comments:

Chapter 2

Your corrections were great, the only thing you missed was the .5-1 second silence at the beginning of the reading.

Chapter 5 PLOK

Chapter 6

5:58 Perhaps we may learn in the morning who this extraordinary artist is, and the occasion of his performance.” You said and occasions

13:45.5 “But when shall I play before the Queen?” said Wolfgang, impatiently. Impatiently is kind of muddled. Can't clearly hear the “im” at the first.

16:42 Wolfgang continued his conversation with the Queen, I heard conversations

18:58 We will go if you are resolved not to play any more, You said if you are not resolved

19:24 as could be seen by his flashing eyes. You added the word he between as and could

Chapter 7

:41.5 with renewed zeal You said and

2:10.5 which was recognized throughout the world as the final authority in all musical matters. You said music

Keep up the good work,

Wayne
