My, Tricia, that was quick. I'm off to the shed straight away...

Here's section 5:

I'm still working on the sound quality. I'm recording closer to the mic, but applying a bass cut and treble lift to counteract the closeness.
Have I overdone the bass cut? Without it, it sounds "boomy" to me.

Wow... this is some tweed-encrusted prose. Fortunately I have relatives who still speak this way, so might be able to do it justice

I'd like to do 34 "Ellistoniana" if that's permissible.

Certainly permissible. Thanks!

I listen on my laptop speakers or on cheap ear buds, so I probably won't be able to comment intelligently on how boomy it is.

Section 5:

3:53 - missed edit: "than that.." click click "than that I should"

4:40 - missed edit (no click): "a notorious" [pause] "addicted to" - repeated as - "a notorious (deleted) addicted to (deleted)"

12:20 - missed edit: "give the six score thousands" click click "give thee to six"

I relate to many of the sentiments in this section. Hmm, going from 1820 to 1821 - exactly 200 years ago in a couple days!

Do be a bit careful with treble boost. Some of the sounds (especially towards the beginning) sounded a little sharp to me. I prefer it to err on the side of boom rather than the side of sharp.

Good. My attempts at accents are atrocious.

Thank you, Tricia. Here are the corrections: https://librivox.org/uploads/triciag/elia_05_lamb_128kb.mp3 now 17:41
At 4:40, I didn't quite know how to represent the asterisks representing deletion. As you didn't comment on my use of "deleted",
that's what I'll do next time too :0)
I removed the treble boost and left the bass cut. I suspect my older ears are not as sensitive to high frequencies as yours,
I also suspect my (self-proclaimed gaming) headphones artificially boost the bass to make them sound, er, bassier.

Thank you.

[TriciaG]

Wow - lots of action in the past 12 hours!

Sections entered. I should be able to PL today.

Rohan: welcome! Here's your catalog page: https://librivox.org/reader/15510
You can keep track of your assigned sections there. (Click on Reader section details to see each section.)

Section 5 spot PL OK. Yes, I was perfectly happy with how you dealt with the omissions.

Section 6 PL OK. My husband would agree with many of Mrs. Battle's opinions about games of pure luck. I've heard him express that view dozens of times!

[TriciaG]

Section 34 PL OK!

It would really help to know the man.
