Hi Alice,
I've uploaded a revised https://librivox.org/uploads/redrun/niblung_02_wagner_128kb.mp3 (24:01.19) and will mark it ready for spot PL. Thank you for your thorough PL Notes - they were a big help. Please note that timestamps for my edits are for the revised recording.
Best,
Brian
(8:31.630 - 8:36.138) "How sly to judge us serious / When plainly we were but jesting!" EDIT: slightly amped up (less than 5 dB) the gain of the 's' at the end of 'serious' and very slightly increased the gap between 'serious' and 'When'.8:33 Wotan
I hear "seriou", the s missing
I read "serious"
(15:33.022 - 15:38.161) "Where weak still is strength, / And germs only stirring," EDIT: amped up (a little more than 10 dB) 'th' at the end of strength and very slightly increased the gap between the words 'strength' and 'And'.15:35 Loge
I hear streng
I read strength
(27:08.991 - 27:12.860) "To Nibelheim hastening downward, / I go in search of the gold." EDIT: Excised the 'o' sound between 'hastening' and 'downward' leaving a gap the length of that excised sound.27:10 Wotan
I hear: hastening o downward
I read: hastening downward
(28:03.325 - 28:04.765) "Ye others wait / Till evening here;" EDIT: sounded to me like an elision of the words 'Ye' and 'others' (i.e. Y'others): placed a very slight gap between those words and adjusted their gains by just a bit (about 1 or 2 dB).28:03 Wotan
I hear "jos wait"
I read "ye others wait"
