I am sorry for not doing it! School has been starting up again so I have been busy. I will try to have it finished on tuesday.

Thank you for the update!

Here's the bit that needs fixing:

There's one repetition at 8:02 and 8:13, "This association marks ...", which should be an easy fix. With the recording opened in Audacity, highlight with your mouse the bit you want removed, then press delete.

There's a phrase missing, which would go at current 10:46 "... Washington Gladden. Before the section of Anthropology: "A Comparative Study ...". There are a few ways to add a new phrase in an existing recording. What I do is make a new recording of the missing phrase and then copy and paste it where I want it in the original. I may need to adjust the volume of the new phrase to match with the rest.

When you're ready with the fixes, just upload with the same filename.

It is my bad I did not do it today even though I meant to when my sister was doing her SAT. MY silly brain forgot

I am going to try to have a constant time each week to make sure that I do it. I did my schedule and I can have it in on Sunday (for real this time!). I am very sorry for holding up this project and thank you for your patience.

Don't stress about it! It's all good!
Thank you for the update!

PS. Good luck to your sister with her SAT!

I was working on it last Sunday but the weather decided to storm!

I will try to work on it more today. I have not forgotten it

Just to clarify, you do not need to record the whole section from scratch, just to fix the two PL notes:

There's one repetition at 8:02 and 8:13, "This association marks ...", which should be an easy fix. With the recording opened in Audacity, highlight with your mouse the bit you want removed, then press delete.

There's a phrase missing, which would go at current 10:46 "... Washington Gladden. Before the section of Anthropology: "A Comparative Study ...". There are a few ways to add a new phrase in an existing recording. What I do is make a new recording of the missing phrase and then copy and paste it where I want it in the original. I may need to adjust the volume of the new phrase to match with the rest.

If you don't have your original recording any more, you can download it from the Magic Window and work on it in Audacity.

Thank you so much! I will try to work on it today. I had lost it but now I know that I dont have to record the whole thing again.

Post by **Rapunzelina** » September 18th, 2022, 6:31 am

Great! I hope you can make it today

we're so close now!

I dont quite see how I can download it or import it onto audicity so that I can edit it. Sorry if this is an obvious question.

nevermind! I figured it out

Post by **Rapunzelina** » September 18th, 2022, 6:45 am

There's the 'listen' link in the Magic Window. Right-click on it and choose "Save link as" then download to a location where you can easily find it, like your desktop. Then go to your saved file, right click on it and choose Open With... See if you have Audacity as an option in that menu. Otherwise, first launch Audacity and then Open the file from within. Then you work on the file, and when ready, export and re-upload. Hope this all makes sense!

Sorry, I was typing while you figured it out

I look forward to doing more in the future
