Best,

Hi Dave, a wonderful reading as always! Only one PL note, optional of course: the first 30 secs (the intro) are very much quieter than the rest of the file -- almost 7 decibels quieter -- resulting in a big jump in loudness at 0.30. (Might be startling to a listener using these files to fall asleep! :D ) I think it would enhance the listener's experience to amplify just the first 30 secs by about 5.5 decibels to smooth out the volume level.

Thanks!
Patrick

Beautifully done! PL OK! :thumbs:

I jotted down for myself this pithy and practical maxim: "In Good, the heart is comforted; in Evil, it is troubled" -- if one should ever find himself confused about which is which!

Thanks,
Patrick

Another marvelous reading, PL Ok! :thumbs:

Considering that this sermon was addressed to (presumably) young men -- it's surprising in its subject, its imagery, and some unexpectedly carnal language! I wonder what the novices made of it?

Cheers!

A beautiful job, Brandon, thanks! One PL note: at 7:56, the outro -- you say "end of section four," where it should be "section eight."

Cheers,
Patrick

Ah! So, I think that was a copy/paste error from my Section 4 script. I fixed it.

Whoops, I was looking at the Sermon numbers. Could swap Section 28 (Sermon XXVII continued) out at take Section 17 (Sermon XVII. Of Shunning Vainglory and Pursuing Humble Obedience) instead please?
