Hi Scarbo,
Here is my new file with the two changes that you suggested at a length of 19:40:

Thank you for sharing some useful tips about background noise! :) Usually I turn the final Audacity file (.aup) into an MP3 as the last step and then I don't mess with the MP3 file at all except to upload it to Librivox so I don't think that was the issue here but I can see how someone might make that mistake. I'm REALLY glad you told me about that, though so I don't ever do that in the future. :thumbs:

This sounds great! I have only a few notes about minor word changes that I mention because they result in a change of meaning:

- At 2:18, "to her home," you say "to her new home."
- At 17:29, "to see the devil leap out upon," you say "to see the devil leap upon."

As for the slight rushing sound, I wouldn't have noticed it at all if I hadn't been listening for it, and even then it was hard to catch. But we're our own worst critic, so I understand your being curious about it! By any chance in the process of editing did you import the .mp3 into Audacity multiple times? If so, that might be causing the background noise you're hearing. Something I learned a while back is that, since .mp3 is a lossy format, importing files in that format into Audacity multiple times can cause the file to become degraded. I learned this the hard way when I did a lot of editing to a file. :lol: A way to avoid this is to save the file as .wav (a lossless format) and use that to edit from, and then when you're ready to upload the file you can save it as an .mp3.

Again, the noise-cleaning level and sound clarity on this sound very nice, and the very slight noise you mentioned is nothing at all to worry about! If the .mp3 vs. .wav issue is applicable to your editing process, it's just something to keep in mind for future recordings. I hope this is helpful!

PL OK! Thank you!
For the time being, I'll need a little more time than usual to PL sections that come in on weekdays. Thanks for your patience.

PL OK! Thank you! And I'm happy to have potentially spared you from having to re-record an entire 24-minute file like I had to do. :lol:

Chapter 14 sounds great! The only note I have is that at 3:10, "sedulously imbibing," you say "seditiously imbibing."
