Hi, John!

The reading is PL OK.
Since for this first section there is a public domain credit in the intro, it is not really needed at the end. Just, "End of Foreword" should be good enough. No harm in leaving it, I suppose.

When there is a zero section at the beginning, it is more customary to read the intro as just "Foreword of . . . " "Preface of . . . " etc. rather than "Section Zero" which I think sounds a bit strange. I do have one soloist I PL for a lot who likes to leave it as "Secton Zero," so it is reader's choice.

Both of these suggestions are purely optional, of course.

Really looking forward to listening to this book!

These are PL OK, except that for the outros for 3 and 4 I hear, "This poem is in the public domain," instead of "End of poem. This recording is in the public domain." I think it would be better to stick to the latter for consistency sake, and it really is the recording that we are acknowledging as public domain.

Please upload however is most convenient for you. Thanks for asking, but i'm fine with whatever is best on your end.

All PL OK except Section 8 which came in with a slightly high volume of 92.8 dB

johng · Post by **johng** » April 23rd, 2024, 12:36 pm

just knocked #8 down 2 dB.
Hope that's enough!!??
(actually, I've never had to make that kind of adjustment so I may have done it wrong!!)

One dB would be better, but within range so marking it PL OK
