I think I made the changes correctly: https://librivox.org/uploads/philchenevert/toodleandnoodleflattail_02_garis_128kb.mp3 (Length: 12:09)

And here's take one on chapter 5: https://librivox.org/uploads/philchenevert/toodleandnoodleflattail_05_garis_128kb.mp3 (Length: 11:41)

Both chapters are PL OK. Thank you.

I'm not going to believe all the things about beavers Howard R. Garis wrote in this book.

Chapter 28 is PL OK. The Cocoanut is just fine. With all the buildup about how to carry the thing I'm surprised it made it all the way home without Toodle and Noodle breaking it.

Never did figure it out. Tried all kinds of things to no avail. Decided it was probably best to rerecord the whole thing.

It's PL OK, thanks for another chapter in our book.

Notes:

There is a loud click at ~3:13 that's a bit distracting. With some practice you'll be able to zero in on and edit out such noises.

Your voice and reading style really hits some syllables hard - that's a good thing; it's expressiveness - but you are running the volume right up to the max at these spots and that is causing clipping, a harsh-sounding form of distortion. In a lesson for another date you might try recording with the record volume set a bit lower - so the meter doesn't quite get to zero, then apply a little COMPRESSION to your track to reduce the level of just the loudest peaks. Done correctly, you'll end up with 90% of the volume range of your original recording without the distortion in the very loudest bits. If you try this, start with gentle adjustments; it's easy to go to extremes that make the whole track sound like 1960s AM radio. (I.e., yuck!)

Hi Rich,

Here's the resubmittal for Chapter 10. I hope you find that the click is gone now.

I hope this is perfect because I don't want to edit this, but I will if I have to! I really challenged myself on this one, and I made far more complicated than I needed to! However, this is how you learn and grow. It's Phil and Larry's fault for challenging me! Thanks guys!

Depending on the outcome, I'll decide how to do the next section. It was fun!

Chapter 20 - Crackie Goes to School - PL OK.

Notes:
At ~1:49, the "My" in "My goodness" is a bit upcut. (There's no need to re-edit this.)
Crackie has a nice (if whiney) voice.
