sorry, but it seems to be baroque

You should be able to adjust your settings, re-export and re-upload. I know it's a pain in the keister, but the settings need to be the same in all recordings.

the sampling rate should be set at 44.1 khz. Yours appears to be set at 48khz,, according to Checker.

Checker
https://cgjennings.ca/checker.html (I had to install Checker using internet explorer browser, it didn't install in Chrome)

I use Checker for all my recordings to check my volume. I have trouble getting it loud enough sometimes.

I noticed in the video that the sample rate converter was set for (fastest) but He didn't mention it so I'm not sure if that's important.

I didn't listen to all of it, I was planning the time to do it tomorrow, but what I did hear didn't sound bad at all. I know you said your voice wasn't the best, but it wasn't bad.

Sorry, I got to thinking that if I found any other errors you would have to upload it twice more, so I went ahead and listened to Section #8. It sounds great. No errors to fix. So when you get that sample rate fixed from 48 to 44.1 we'll be ready for PL OK. OK?

Now, I know how to do all that, I JUST FORGOT.

Don't you hate that?

Not that it takes long to upload, just a bit of an annoyance. Oh well...

Now, would you look at that, both chapters 8 and 9! I got chapter 9 done yesterday afternoon but didn't have a chance to upload it.

Story is quite a cliff hanger. Escape the Mexican Army by being in a dessert storm.

What kind of a dessert? A banana split?

You'd never know I was an English teacher, eh?

Well, I would never know that anyway, but I am disappointed in you, gravely disappointed.

You would never know I'm a farmer, eh?

Section #11. Pl NOtes.

At about 15:00 there is a sharp click followed by several seconds of silence and another odd sound. If you would please delete that section, it will be ready to PL OK .

thanks,
