Hi Shelly! Great job with all the Greek translations and your reading overall was great! Just a few edits please, which are listed below. I've listed them from end to beginning. If changes are made in order, the timing I've noted should remain close to the same.

Around 27:39 - heard "...which gratefully employ the intellectual facilities." should be "which gratefully employ the intellectual faculties."
Around 21:33 - heard "...has done more than any other before him..." should be "has done more than any author before him..."
19:24 - 19:34 - audio has some static during this passage:
"...while intermission of the stimulation gives time for the renewal of the nervous excitability and a consequent liability to fresh stimulation." " There is reason," he tells us,"
Around 7:33 - the M. before "M. Victor Cousin" stands for Monsieur (he had a deceptively non-French sounding name, so I had to double check myself!)
Around 0:30 - missing "Section 1 - AESTHETICAL THEORIES." before the first paragraph.

Once edits have been made, please re-upload the file (with the correct filename) and post it in this thread so we can do a quick spot check on the edits.

Thanks!
Cheers,
Claire

I had forgotten that the section number was wrong and accidentally uploaded it with the wrong file name again before correcting it. I apologize if I overwrote something. :oops: Anyway here it is with corrections.

This section hasn't been proof-listened yet but here are the technical notes for it. Could you resolve them and then re-upload the file before it gets PLed?
  • The volume of this track is 98.15dB. LV requires the overall volume for the track (measured by ReplayGain - you can try this tool if you want to check the volume) to be between 86-92dB (with 89dB being the ideal). The easiest way to fix this automatically is to use the 'Loudness Normalization' effect (set to -19LUFS in 'perceived loudness' mode) in recent versions of Audacity before exporting the track as an MP3. If you use RMS normalization, set it to -21dB. Another way to fix it would be to use the Amplify effect set to -9dB.

Hello Asiox! Section 2 was very nicely read. Just one edit please:

Around 22:04 - heard "...to attain a high ideal, or to reach communication with God." should be "...to attain a high ideal, or to reach communion with God."

Once ready, please re-upload the file under the same name and post in the thread so I can do a quick spot check.

Thanks!

I got myself confused by adjusting the gain as well as the amplification :hmm: I ran it through the checker and passed. Hopefully it passes on your end.

Hello all! Here is revised Section 16 of The Emotions - The Aesthetic - Part "2" (not 3)
Happy Wednesday!
Hi there! Another very nice recording! I love how sometimes Google translate recognizes the characters from other languages, and sometimes it doesn't. I think it all depends on the condition of the pages lol. I double checked the characters in the Greek alphabet (as I've had to do in some of my recordings for other projects), and they're τo ΚαλOν. I've noted where it popped up in text, and gave a recommendation for pronunciation. There are a few other edits needed please:

Around 24:30 - heard "More physical beauty may..." should be "Mere physical beauty may..."
Around 3:07 - heard "...and the openness is most strikingly..." should be "...and the oneness is most strikingly..."
Around 0:46 - heard "Plato evidently regarded the t6con... " should be "Plato evidently regarded the τo ΚαλOν..." pronounced toe Kale-On (emphasis on the bold syllable).

Once any edits are made, please re-upload the file under the same name and post in this thread so I can do a quick spot check.

PS - I'm totally guilty of naming and projecting feelings onto inanimate objects :lol:
Cheers,
Claire
