I guess I should add something to the summary about the tales being entertaining. :D

Hello! Here is section 2 (16:36). I can confidently say this is the most times I've ever said rhinoceros ever :lol: This was quite enjoyable to read though!

Hi, keepitcamino -

See these notes, but you do NOT need to re-record.

I Pl'd this and your text reading was perfect.

However, there was a problem with the sound processing. There was sort of a shadow sound behind all your narration. I asked someone more knowledgeable to listen to it, and he guessed that you have done too much noise removal.

Sadly, the person I consulted with termed it "borderline unlistenable," and I agree. He was kind enough, however, to do some reprocessing on it and was able to remove that shadow sound. He uploaded it, so nothing needs to be done with the section. His will replace yours.

If you have your original unprocessed file, please do some playing around with it with less noise removal. First, listen to yours vs. the one that has replaced it in the MW. We usually say not to listen to anything out of the MW, but it's important for you to figure it out. You don't need to upload your new attempt for us to listen to, it's just for your own learning curve. If you can figure out what the issue is, it might save you a non-PL OK on another project sometime.

Marked PL OK.

Q: Would you like to have "Frog and Toad Concerts" included in Section 27, "Running Toads?"
I did go ahead and record it so can add it.

I also have all my other sections recorded, but it may be awhile before I edit them. Usually I do it in the same session, but scheduling makes it better this way this time.

Yes please, on section 27. Thanks.

Not to worry about the time.

Great job. I hadn't realized toucans were cannibals. :(

That was quite interesting and most definitely PL OK.

Thanks much,

M

And, thanks for being such a great, and on-the-ball DPL. :)
