yay, the second story is completed :9: well narrated again and perfectly PL ok (also the Spot PLs of the other 3 chapters)

Thank you so much for your great work with this project. And I hope you enjoy it as much as me.

On to the next story. Curious what this will be about.

Dear Sonia,

It took some time and finetuning of Audacity to get back to anormal recording and playback situation.

26:54

It was a tough start, because of the way the story is written, but I'm sure the other sections will be easier.

Feel free to give me your remarks.

Have a nice evening.

the next sections will also be shorter. A great start for the story though. I was hoping it would be an epistolary novel when I saw the first letter, but then it continues as a normal narrative. Excellently read, I did not notice that you found it difficult. And the Audacity settings are also ok. :thumbs:

Only two cuts to be made:

> from 20:18 to 20:51 and from 20:52 to 21:24: the following is a repeat, one version can be cut: "Terwijl wij in allen ernst met u redeneren over berigten uit onze nieuwspapieren, vervalt gij in een gepeins, waaruit gij niet ontwaakt, dan om bij een onverschillig woord, dat op u geene de minste betrekking had, vuur te vatten, en eene houding aan te nemen, als een acteur, die den verbolgen' Krijgsgod voorstelt; en eer men nog van zijne verwondering bekomen is, eer men u beduiden kan, wat men bedoelde, heft gij een half ironische, half filosophische bespiegeling aan over de haarlokken der vrouwen..."

> at the end: you have 7 seconds of silence instead of the standard 5, you could cut 2 seconds

the rest was perfect. Thanks, looking forward to the continuation.

Hi Sonia,

I was just reading about PL. Sounds challenging as well. If there's à small project, I could give it à try.

Either Dutch French or English will do. An abandoned project for exemple.

Let me know how I can help.

Have à nice evening.

no it's fine, I found them in my folder and updated the MW :) thank you

Section 17 is now PL ok.

For the other two chapters, there's another cut to be made:

section 18:
> at 0:03: "door A. L. G. Bosboom-Toussaint" – in the first part of the intro, the name can be cut (see first post for exact wording). The name appears in the second part of the intro

section 19:
> from 12:19 to 12:29 and from 12:29 to 12:38: repeat, one version can get cut: "Bewogen trad St. REALLY hem in den weg; door de openstaande deur onbemerkt binnen gekomen, kon hij den strijd der jonge lieden niet langer aanzien"

the rest was excellent :thumbs:

oh this would be great, we always need good DPLers. At the moment I am MCing one group project which is still looking for a DPL, if you want to give it a try: viewtopic.php?t=97187 simply post in there to tell them you want to volunteer for the job. Then you'll get access to the Magic Window as well.

DPLing is not so difficult. I listen to the section and read along with the text and when I notice a mistake, I stop, note down the exact time stamp and the error and that's it.

Would be great if you could help :)

Dear Sonia,

I hope your week off was good. The story becomes nicer af the chapters go by. I sometimes get embarrassed by the error in the text. These type mistakes. Should I avoid these type mistakes and just say the word it should be? This is what I do.

So, I corrected 18 and 19. and just add two more sections

This WE I'll try the checker and next week I'll probably try a first PL. Larry is enthousiastic, and so am I. In the mean time, I hope you enjoy reading this nice story.

And of course, feel free to send your remarks. Thanks and have a nice evening.

yes, we had great weather and sunshine in Spain. It was lovely.

we have the rule "don't change what the author wrote", so you should not modernize or enhance on the text if it is more archaic speech. But if there are obvious typos, you can safely gloss over them and say the correct word. We should not leave in silly mistakes if they are clearly only a typing error.
So, I corrected 18 and 19.
section 18 is PL ok, but there is still an edit for 19 to make:

> at 12:19: you cut a bit too much here this time, please re-insert "Bewogen trad St. REALLY hem in den weg"
This WE I'll try the checker and next week I'll probably try a first PL. Larry is enthousiastic, and so am I.
I am happy that you enjoy the PL process and hopefully also the readings and the stories. :9: Thank you again for helping out with this important task !

Have a good Easter Sunday !

ah so Almagro is a pirate if I understood correctly ? The story indeed gets another twist now. Very interesting.

Section 20 is PL ok, but for section 21 you need to adjust the volume: Checker tells me it's over 93 dB, so I would reduce by -3 to get closer to our average 89.

Thanks

indeed, I hope they will find a happy ending. :shock:

Two long chapters again, and I think the next ones will be much shorter, judging from the word count. 8-) Excellently narrated again, I only found 2 missing sentences, the rest was perfect:

Section 22:
> at 20:14: missed sentence (underlined): "...wat er in zijn hart omging. De pendule sloeg half elf. 'De tijd gaat snel voort..."

Section 23:
> at 11:44: missed sentence (underlined): "...vernedering, minachting! Na zulke eene ontmoeting was ik radeloos van spijt. Ik wilde nog..."

thanks

Sonia
