Track Length
21:53.96 (m:ss.ss)
I appreciate feedback to improve the quality of my delivery as well as addressing any technical aspects, second recording and learning audacity more each chapter.

Would it work to read chapters 18 and 19 once this PL is OK?

Thank you!

Updated and assigned! You're welcome to work on 18 and 19 even before I PL 12.

If you want extra feedback from your first section (I haven't listened to 12 yet), it sounded like you recorded across multiple sessions such that the difference was noticable (but not unpleasant). The best way to do it is to record the whole track in one take and clap or click for an error and then just repeat the line. Then you can go back through after you've recorded and edit out the mistakes. Hope that's helpful.

Yes!! Very helpful. I did that again on this one - so get ready to enjoy that.
I will try to read the whole chapter in one, or try to get much closer to that, thank you.

Okay, great to know I can start on the next before PL is done on 12, thanks!

Section 12 PL Notes:
I'd say the recording quality was better than your first section here (since you wanted that feedback). Pausing for a second (not longer than a second and a half) between paragraphs is always appreciated by listeners (it can often get dropped in editing). But, well read - no criticism from me, I'm just making suggestions since you explcitily requested them.

• 00:01 Max 1 second of silence at the start of the track please! (since you like exact numbers, the ideal would be three quarters of a second!)

Great notes, much appreciated, keep them coming.

Length adjusted - Track Length 21:53.36 (m:ss.ss) With 0.75 seconds in front/5.0 seconds at end.

Paragraph pauses will be retained in editing going forward and the intention to include them consistently is set.

Chatper 18 for PL
https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/improvementmind_18_watts_128kb.mp3
Track Length 15:56.55 (m:ss.ss)

The feedback from chapter 12 on paragraph pauses wasn't received before recording - but did chapters 18 and 19 in one sitting to try to reduce effect of multiple takes.

Please continue to include feedback to improve narration quality, loving the learning and seeking to be great over time here.

Chapter 19 for PL
https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/improvementmind_19_watts_128kb.mp3
Length 15:2.50 (m:ss.ss)

Was more aware of paragraph pauses in editing, hopefully the timing is improved some.
I read this one in a closet draped with blankets to reduce the tinniness coming through the mic.
I will be curious to hear if there is a significant difference in the quality.

I am interested in reading chapter 14 (Of Determining A Question) and I am not sure how to say (or type out) a word on page 146 that I took a screen shot of but also can not figure out how to paste here.

"many difficiles n?, or laborious follies..."
I found it online difficiles nugæ

Link to the page https://archive.org/details/improvementofmind00watt/page/146/mode/2up?view=theater

It's the only obvious tricky one on a scan.
I see Cui bono And I would say as "Quee bone-o" - is that right?
I thought I should ask here, but if it is better to go to the pronunciation threads I will happily head there.
I have googled a few words on how to say them and watched longish tutorials on Latin pronunciation which there is some debate around, so I still am pretty unclear.

Section 16 PL Notes:

• 10:41 missing the word 'who' It is necessary that he who instructs others...
• 11:46 I'm hearing 'catesized' instead of 'catechised' (cat-e-kized) we came to be taught, not to be catechised and examined.

For fastest spot checks, you can copy these notes and change the timestamps to the new time so I know where to check.

I would like to claim Section 2 Five Eminent Methods of Gaining Knowledge, if I may?
