AAlso, I've been listening to your recording of the Murray Leinster book "Space Tug" and I love the voice effects you used in this one to indicate who is talking on the radio! Sounds very authentic!
I did that a while back. I think it’s a built-in effect in GarageBand called telephone effect. Had to import the file into GB, apply the effect and then export it again. Bit of a hassle as I recall.

It's length is 15:44.
Thanks apanis - but we really need you to add the 5 seconds of silence to the end and reupload the file. Without it, some players will chop off the end of the chapter. So if you have the original file, just add either 5 seconds of generated silence or room tone (by recording silence) and then re-export and reupload the file - with the same filename so my link in the Magic Window will still work!

Margot - if a file needs any changes made to it, then it is not yet PL OK and should be marked as "PL notes". I've changed this one in the MW - once the 5 seconds silence has been added then the file can be marked PL OK again!

MaryAnn has gone searching and found Chapter 4, so I've uploaded it to the MW for PLing and here it is!

Margot, if you wouldn't mind PLing it as it is, then Mike can change the filename (and folder) and make any other corrections all at the same time!

Chapter 4 is overall a good recording. There were a few items that you may or may not want to change.

dB is a tiny bit high 93.1

16:33 you say "end of Captain Salt by . . " as if it is the last chapter of the book. That could be cut but is a small detail.

Rest of the recording is GOOD!
Thank you,
Margot

Chapter 4

Since the file name and folder need to be changed I didn't mark the MW as okay.

The file is not OK yet - the outro needs to be corrected or people might think the book is finished!

Since the file is being handled and reuploaded anyway we might as well ask the reader to fix the volume now too - then it is all done!

I'll send a PM to the reader as I'm not sure if he is following the project thread.
