SOLO In the Andamans and Nicobars by C Boden Kloss-ag

[dckabir]

Hmm. As an audiobook listener, I'd rather have the chapter all in one section if it fits in the "time limit" - which is 74 minutes, I believe.

If it ends up longer than that, you can divide it somewhere near the middle at a place that makes sense for an intermission.

Well, I've uploaded section 15 and its 75 mins 14 seconds long
In case you fall asleep listening to it, please tell me to divide it

And thank you for section 14!

It does have to be under 74 so it can be burned to a CD. Maybe try increasing the tempo to see if you can shorten it. Sometimes you can get it to do it without changing your voice too much.

I've got it downloaded for PL later today. Yeah, if you're using Audacity, you can just highlight the entire track, then open the Change Tempo effect (NOT change speed!) - put a 2 in that percent box and hit enter - it'll pull it in so it's under 1:14, no problem, and your voice won't sound any different at all. It's not even much of a tempo change, so it won't be noticeable to the ear.

But let me PL first in case I find any little spots that need editing, and then I can spot-check the tempo-changed file for you if we don't think it'd be better to just divide it, anyway.

Tempo change sounds good I'll await your PL notes.

Well, there are several interesting topics in this section.

I did find two spots of repeat starts:

@37:43, "The Andaman Islands - "

and @41:39, "A close examination shows, however - "

(and you'll want to do the Tempo effect)

But everything is otherwise very nice.

Yayyy! It worked we are just under 74 minutes now.
Thank you Amy and Lynn, I learnt something new
File uploaded for spot PL.

Section 15 is PL OK

Section 15 is PL OK

Thank you
Section 16 is up

[LCaulkins]

This one was still a longer section, but must have been a relief after the monster one last time!

I found two repeat starts:

23:26 - "having only the privities..."
28:47 - "in an a- ..."

Definitely a relief after the last one, but all the sections are lengthy in Part II
Section 20 I've recorded in two parts, lets see if that can be crunched into one with the tempo change magic
and the last section is a tongue twister

Anyhow, for now section 16 is corrected and up for spot PL and section is also ready for PL
We may be able to wrap up the book sooner than expected

Thank you

Sections 16 and 17 are both PL OK
