Thank you again, Rapunzelina!
I've followed your instructions and sent the two audios a little bit louder (3~4 db). If I've ruined something, please, feel free to undo it. But I think they've got really better (audacity is awesome!)

My last contribution for this month:

Thank you, VfkaBT, Bruce, and Caio! The Magic Window is updated with your contributions!

By the way, VfkaBT, would you like to change your catalogue name? It's currently "VfkaBT", but I noticed you're using a full name in the recordings.

Thank you, Erin! The information you have about the author is more than enough! We can make changes in the database, if we need to, in the future. So, PL OK and MW updated!
Thank you very much! I don't have the first idea of how things work behind the scenes, but I didn't want to make life difficult for you.

See you next month!

I use my regular name for recordings because VfkaBT is unpronounceable. ;) Veef-kabt? Naaah.

Yes, yet another new addition to the Author Catalogue. Thank you, Ian! PL OK and in the MW.

Thank you, Kyo! :thumbs: My only note for these is about the volume, which is a bit on the low side. Would you be able to amplify by about 9-10 dBs, re-upload and re-post the links? Visually in audacity, the waveform needs to peak above the 0.5 mark (just not all the way up/down to avoid clipping). You may also need to noise-clean after, if the background noise is also amplified.
If you are unfamiliar with the process of amplifying/noise-removing or have any specific questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
