Section 5 - Old Dinah
Time is @ 4:28

The section is nicely read. There are two corrections needed.

1 Please add about 0.5 seconds of silence at the start so there is between 0.5 and 1 second of silence.
2. Starting at 1:51 and through to the end of the recording, the volume drops quite a lot. The first part of the recording is at 88.5 dB which is great, the second part is only at 81.7 dB. Could you please amplify from 1:51 on by about 7dB.

Thanks,

M

Larry - I hope you are ok with me putting it in the MW for you.

PL Notes:

Section 9: these are mostly extra syllables that should be removed.
1. At 0:47, there is an extra "and" . Sounds like "and but he and", please remove the first "and"
2. At 1:54, it sounds like a small stutter "while the hu huts...", pleas delete the "hu"
3. At 2:49, is sounds like another small stutter "ev even in his loneliness", please delete the first "ev"
4. The volume is too low. Please amplify the volume of the recording by about 3 dB.

Section 17:
1. At 0:29, it sounds like a small stutter "this is s so", please delete the "s"
2. At about 2:05, it sounds like "mortality" in "prided himself on his morality", it should be "morality"

General comments.
I would recommend running but sections through some noise reduction to cut out some of the background noise. It would also lessen the impact of some of the lip smacks I hear. That is something you should try to watch out for in future recordings.

The volume of Section 17 is acceptable but it is on the lower end of the range. No need to do anything now but, in future, you might want to amplify your recordings a little bit more.

Most of the changes should be relatively easy ones - removing is easier than adding. Please let us know if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing your revised recordings.

Thanks,

M
