Chapter 1 is PL OK.

Chapter 2 please please delete 1 second of silence at the start so that there is between 0.5 and 1 second of silence and it should be PL OK.


Excellent reading overall. One additional note on chapter 2. The intro has a fair bit of noise in the background. While you are removing the silence at the beginning, you might want to do some noise reduction on the intro only. There are no noise problems with the rest of the recording. You do not have to do this change, I am just recommending it - your choice.

That was an exciting chapter.

Thanks,

Noise reduced on 2, though I think I shrunk the entire sound on the intro in the process.

The noise level is much better now. :)

Did you miss my note to shorten the opening silence on chapter 2 to between 0.5 and 1 second?

Don't worry about it. Chapter 2 is PL OK.

You'll have to wait another day for the next chapter.

Thanks,

He is definitely not someone to trust in anything.

Chapter 4 is PL OK.

Thanks,

Six! Even for a relatively stilted writer like Ainsworth, this is fairly pulse-pounding stuff!

:clap: :clap:
Very tuneful indeed. Loved it. The remainder of the chapter is also well done and the whole thing gets a PL OK.
Really want to know what happens next. I really don't like those felonious fellows. They are definitely up to no good.

Thanks,

Section 7.
Pulse-pounding again, but he ruined the conclusion. He felt the need to stuff in yet one more obstacle, the appearance of Blueskin. But Blueskin no sooner appears than his threat is thwarted, and he never even speaks!

That was an exciting chapter, or maybe it was the way you read it. :)

Chapter 6 is PL OK.

That was definitely another nail biter. Good job with the reading. The only things to change are to shorten the starting and ending silences.

please delete about 0.5 seconds at the start
and near 2 seconds at the end

Thanks,

M

Blueskin did appear to be somewhat pointless here. Maybe there will turn out to be some significance to that scene later on. :hmm:
