[COMPLETE] The Young Ice Whalers, by Winthrop Packard - icequeen

[silverquill]

My apologies for the delay in getting this to you. I listened to it but somehow missed updating LibriVox.

It was nicely read. There are just a few comments.

please reduce volume by at least 1.5 dB but ideally by about 4 dB (to near the LibriVox ideal of 89 dB)
At about 5:38 please change "east" to "west" in "the wind came in again from the west"

Thanks,

M

No problem at all, and thank you for the feedback. I figured out how to decrease the volume, and I got the incorrect reading replaced. Here is the link.

Excellent job with the changes. Volume is perfect and the word changed blended in nicely. This is PL OK.

Thanks,

PL Notes (only pertain to meeting LibriVox specs, your actual recording is fine):

please add about 0.5 seconds of silence to the start so thast there is between 0.5 and 1 second of silence
about 0:16 please delete chapter 15 home again"
11:41 please insert "end of chapter 15" before "end of the ice whalers
please add about 3 seconds of silence to the end so that there are about 5 seconds of silence total

Thanks,

M

This was a quick fix, so I opted to make the correction so that we can have Ann send this off to the catalog.

Thank you, M, again for a big PL Job with these longer chapters. The whole thing was quite an undertaking so big applause to ALL of our fine narrators who gave this book voice.

Thank you to Ann who provided MC guidance.

This had been on my personal "to-do" list for a long time, so it is especially gratifying to have it finished and released to the public.

A final thanks to whomever designs a cover for out book!

Sweet! Off we go to the catalog!
