PL notes
Checker flagged you for volume at 92.3dB. Horatio seems slightly softer than everyone else, maybe use a little compression instead of an overall negative amplification to balance him out. :hmm:

16:28 missing line – Rollo- Oh, he won’t have it if I go. Don’t be afraid of him if he should begin to jump about a little. He can’t run very fast-he has a bad toe. (Rollo takes Goldie to Horatio).

Ending silence is ~6 seconds. That’s doesn’t matter much but since you’ll have it open, I figured I’d mention it.

(Note for me: Scene 2 starts p94)

Hmm. I already used some compression on the file, so I'm not sure what the next step is (aside from just upping the volume on individual lines). Any good ideas?

The blown line should be easy to fix, since it's my own. :-)

Thanks again Linny. I owe you one.

You might try the leveler on mild. Other than that I’m not sure. I would not suggest modifying each line. It’s not a dramatic difference, rather a subtle overall ‘feel’.

Hmm. I tried fiddling around with the levels again and added the missing line. Let me know if it's better.

Thank you Linny. :-)

And the final section will be done and uploaded as soon as I get the final missing line. And then... we're be done. I appreciate your help!

Oops! That's me with another missing line. :oops:
Kind of a funny one. Last in . . .

Woohoo! Thanks Larry. :-)

And this might be one of your funniest line readings too, so what a perfect way to end this. :-)

Speaking of which...

Chuck,
Nicely assembled! :thumbs:

Volume is high at 92.1dB.

20:55 word change - Horatio. Glad to meet you. Sorry, I have a very important engagement this morning.
I hear evening
This word change was noticeable because we know that it’s morning and he has an appointment with Goldie.

41:51 lines mixed up. Should be:
Narrator: Rollo. Holding out his hand. Goldie rises.
Rollo: Oh, well, we can do that, too. It won’t take long to walk around the garden, and think about home a little.
Narrator: They start for the French door, Rollo’s arm about Goldie.

Thanks linny. :-) I'll touch base with Larry and try to get this fixed as quickly as I can.
