I haven't read in a few years, so I'll have to remind myself of how this all works, but I'd like to help out with this one. I'll take chapter 1.

If it's been a few years, can I suggest you do another 1 minute test? Recording setups often change over time and sometimes they don't hit the specs required.

It would be great to have you contrinbute to the project. I have assigned the section to you - though do the test before you start recording to save on heartache.

WHat brought you back to LV?

Okay, I just uploaded another one minute test. definitely a good idea since my setup is completely different.

I left the US and all my belongings and traveled around Europe for a while, and now I'm back!
