Sure thing, thank you for claiming! I see you're new to LV, so feel free to ask if you have questions about anything! :)
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.

Absolutely! Thanks a lot
I needed to ask, do u guys record one part of the chapter and then pause it and continue later? Because I think I read in one of the wiki pages about something like that and now I forget where. Do you have any advice as to how I should avoid making it obvious that the recording was paused?

The general recommendation is to record everything in one sitting, if possible, so that you know that your soundscape is consistent, but honestly, sometimes I can't do this for longer chapters for various reasons. (My neighbor always seems to know when I'm recording and sees fit to start running her rumbly washing machine then, for example. :lol:) I think that, with noise cleaning, it should be okay if you make sure that your soundscape, mic position, etc. are as similar as possible during multiple sessions. And you can edit out mouse clicks and the like in Audacity. (You might already know about that, but I wanted to mention it just in case. I didn't know much about Audacity's editing capabilities when I started out, and that's why my first recording is all in one take!)

Thank you for section 19! I do like it - it sounds great! I have just a few notes:

- At the beginning, could you say "Chapter 11, part 2"? (Keeping chapters and sections straight for projects like this does take some getting used to at first. :))
- At 0:20, after "Mauprat, by George Sand," could you add "translated by Stanley Young. Chapter 11, part 2"?
- At 16:52, "without my taking the trouble," you say "without taking my trouble."
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.

Thank you for section 20! It sounds great, and there are no changes to make to the text. The only note I have is that the volume, which is 93 dB, falls just outside the target range of 87-92 dB. Could you lower the volume a bit to be within the target range?
