IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

PL Notes
Section 1 the volume is at 83dB so needs amplifying

Section 2 is PL OK

Sections 3 and 4 need the silence at the beginning to be longer.

Section 5, 6, 7, 8 are PL OK

Sections 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 need the silence at the beginning making longer

Thank you Michele. I have fixed the volume on section 1; don't know what happened there!

On the opening silences, anything less than 1 second is fine. I always change the the first post to say this, but PLers are not used to it. Just another of my quirks. So anything less than a second at the start of my sections is fine. For other projects just follow what it says in the first post.

No problem thank you for clarifying. :9:
