Hi Andrew! Just one PL note about the volume, which is a bit softer than desired. Would you be able to amplify by about 7dB? There are some spikes in the waveform that wouldn't allow for this amplification, so you might need to compress first. If you're using Audacity, here's a video that explains how http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fKYYj6HMZU
I have found this page to be helpful for pretty quick editing.

There is also a custom checker tool that will make sure you are at the right volume and a few other things. Neither of these is perfect and I still listen through my final cut at least once, but they help catch simple mistakes.

Thank you for the tools.

Hey there, I compressed and amplified as requested and ran it through the checker. Seems ok on this end.
I'm happy to do something else or even re-record if necessary. I believe I have the original issue worked out now.

All good with the reading, smooth and easy to follow. :thumbs: A couple of PL notes as per instructions in the first post:
- at the beginning of the chapter at 0:28, the chapter contents would be included
- at the end, it would be "End of Chapter 22"
