Section 5's volume is just a little bit too high. It is currently at 92.8 dB, so if you could reduce the volume by 3 dB, then you will have the volume where we need it to be!

May I claim Section 14, The Interference of Patsy Ann?

Hopefully okay now? (And sorry I'm bad at the volume)

Now the volume is perfect! PL OK!

No worries about having to make adjustments, that is why we do this, to catch any issues before we send it off to the catalog. One thing that I would suggest, if you don't know about it yet, is to download Checker. I check every file that I send in, whether it is for someone else's group project, or for my personal solo projects. I started to do that when Audacity spontaneously changed from Mono to Stereo without checking with me first. I didn't know until a DPL flagged my section for being in Stereo. Now, I check everything and I can tweak if I need to. Very helpful!

If section 11 has not been spoken for, I would like to claim it.

Before I read, I have a question. The text is,
Dat ooman des baihin’ dat man in huh prayahs, an’ I ‘low she’ll
mou’n him into glory yit.”
My problem is with the word baihin.’
Any idea what it stands for and how to pronounce it?
Thanks.

I will have to think about what it means, usually I can figure it out by pronouncing it a few times. But that is not working. I think to pronounce it would be "bay-hin." "Hin" rhymes with "in." (Wait! I think he is saying "bayin'" as in crying. I think.)

Yes. I tried saying it over and over. I've taken your advice, so here is section 11.

Section 11 needs two fixes, then it will be perfect!

The intro needs to be fixed so that the title and author are correct. So, at the 0:02 mark, the title of the book needs to be changed to "The Heart of Happy Hollow." Then, at 0:19-:22, you need to change the title and author to "The Heart of Happy Hollow by Paul Laurence Dunbar." Otherwise, great job!

Sorry to cause you trouble. I guess I was in the wrong pew at Mt. Pisgah.
I hope it's right this time.

Not a problem, that's why we do this, to catch these things. And, when a person is new, things can be a bit overwhelming!

OK, now the file length is 39:07! The intro is fixed, so that is good. But, at 19:39, when you recording should end, the recording starts up again. If you could chop off everything after the 19:39 mark, then we will be good to go!

Apparently every time I used the scissors it was looping and I can't figure out why.
I used edit delete this time.
I hope it's right.
