Thanks for your feedback! I will try and listen better when I am doing my editing...

Can I please move onto Sections 3, 4 and 5 now? I am out of things to read - oh no!

[TriciaG]

Section 2 now PL OK!

3-5 are yours.

Have a good day Tricia!

[TriciaG]

Thanks!

Section 3 - PL OK!

Section 4:

5:02 - "finds that he is hopefully lost" - should this be "hopelessly"?

5:26 - repeat: "his cassock torn to tatters"

6:29 - "beautiful lake-like basin of Annapolis broad chough" - "Annapolis" is cut off or something? It sounds funny. And "chough" is a scanning error; should be "enough" - "broad enough to harbor..."

[Lmnei]

Regarding Section 4 - I have re-recorded the sentence in point 3 - the word from the text is "chough" which is interesting as that means a crow in old English!

The 2 others I fixed also.

The time now is 17:25

[TriciaG]

I still think it's a typo, as "crow" makes no sense in that text, either. But it's one word in the whole section, so I won't quibble if you won't. PL OK!

PS - the enough vs. crow is bothering me - I am going to fix the other recording and re-upload it for you - is that okay? Want to make sure before I do it. I just rather have it right as it sounds so wrong.

[TriciaG]

Thanks!

Yes, feel free to correct "Enough".

5:51 - repeat: "The newcomer was Samuel Argol of Virginia"

9:26 - repeat: "where Wolfe an Montcalm"

9:32 - repeat: "Pontgrave"

15:17 - repeat: "where his cannon soon compelled

It seems like on all your recordings, there's a lot of noise in the beginning that goes away after a few seconds. I'd suggest letting your mic run for maybe 10 seconds before starting to speak, then cutting out the beginning silence when editing. This might help take care of the noise at the start of your recordings.

[Lmnei]

Good morning!

Section 4 https://librivox.org/uploads/triciag/canadatheempireofthenorth_4_laut_128kb.mp3 17:25
Section 5 https://librivox.org/uploads/triciag/canadatheempireofthenorth_5_laut_128kb.mp3 23:34
Section 7 https://librivox.org/uploads/triciag/canadatheempireofthenorth_7_laut_128kb.mp3 23:24 (both 5 and 7 are same length)

Moving onwards to my next recording - I will try that silence at the beginning - not sure why my mic is noisy at the beginning either!

[TriciaG]

4, 5, 7 spot checked and PL OK.
