[COMPLETE] A History of Astronomy by W. W. Bryant - availle

Hi there and welcome to LV and to this project!

I have pencilled you in for section 28 (great choice!), but please do your test before you start recording "for real". It's more of a soundcheck, really, to make sure your equipment can handle all the recording you're going to do here.

Your welcome mail has more info about the 1-Minute-Test. Please post it over in "Listeners and Editors Wanted" and get back to me once you have your [OK]. I'll hold your section for a month to do that.

While you're busy with your test, you can also think of a catalog name; if you're going to say a name in your recordings, that's a good choice (so that your fans can find you), but it can be pretty much anything, really.

Anyway, test first, and then: Have fun!

Thank you, my test has been approved now.

[Availle]

Yes, finally! It slipped through the cracks at first, so I did a bit of magic...

Anyway, section 28 is now officially yours, all you need to know is in the first post of this thread. Let me know if you have questions!
have fun!

I would like to claim Section 30 XXX Variable Stars please.

Here is section 23: Mars
Runtime is 18:37

A question to go along with this, I figured out a much much better FX chain for cleaning the audio while editing this one. It would be very minimal effort to apply the same module chain to section 22 that I already submitted. I don't want to make life more complicated for anyone, so if it's preferred that I don't, that is fine too. It will be a better listening experience in the end though.

Thank you!

As for the noise cleaning... I understand where you're coming from, being fairly perfectionist myself.
However, we really try to avoid going over files that are marked PL OK, so I really rather you didn't touch section 22 again.

I briefly listened to a few spots and it's fine. Many people listen to our audiobooks on a commute, while taking a walk, during exercise or housework... It doesn't have to be flawless.

I'd say great that you've learned something, now look forward and apply it to all future recordings (until you learn something new again )
What do you say?

That's fine with me. I imagine it's one of those things where once you let someone do it once, you're opening the door to everyone wanting to do it, which would be a nightmare. So all is good.

Thank you, I've seen your post the first time.

Your test is not "complete" until you get an [OK], which you didn't yet. As I wrote above:

...and get back to me once you have your [OK].

Hi there drwolfe88 and welcome to LV and to this project!

The conclusion is yours, but please wait with recording until you get an [OK] on your test, shouldn't take more than a day or two.
Everything you need to know is in the first post of this thread, ask if you have questions.
