Chapter 12 narration is PL OK - thanks for including the line I missed marking as yours.

I'll be swapping in one of your readings of Stand By For Mars! for the lighter reading you gave the title in the first couple chapters. I think a bit of echo might fit in as well.

Good Idea! Maybe reverb? I am happy to rerecord if you would like.

I will be away from the studio next week so I plan on finishing up and submitting. Feel free to take your time with the PL.

I'll wait until a chapter is nearly ready before making a decision on how much, if any, reverb to use.

Hi Rich! Just finished up with Philip and was about to upload when I noticed the note about submitting files with no processing. Are you alight with me applying at least my mouth de-click and de-esser? I'll leave out all the rest of my processes (which involves EQ and noise reduction). However, I've got a very clicky mouth and lotssss of ssssssibilance which I prefer to reduce in all my files

OK - go ahead with the de-click and de-ess.

Chapters 13 through 16 are PL OK.

Hey, did anyone check the fuel gauge? I think that's Astro's job.

Chapter 17 - PL OK.

Chapter 18 - A.k.a. "my sad story is sadder than your sad story." - PL OK. (I think Roger wins the self-pity contest, since Astro can find bliss in taking apart and reassembling a reactor.)

Chapters 19 and 20 are PL OK.

120 or 130 degrees at midday? That estimate is about 50 to 60 degrees (Fahrenheit) too high. And they assume the air has enough oxygen to support life. Oh well, we'll just go along with the story.

Chapter 21 is PL OK. This chapter contains the peak moments in the book (imho).

Chapter 22:
At ~8:04 I hear "Strong came in with an autoscriber" - the text reads "Strong came in with an audioscriber" - so it's See PL notes.
I may need a few bits to glue the credits together - perhaps or perhaps not; we'll see.

Thanks for the tip-top narration. :-) :-) This will give me a framework to hold all the character voices together.

The book still will need a DPL for the edited chapters. Jim is immune from this duty.

Chapter 22 is now PL OK. Thanks again.
