IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Hey! Lauren, I remember you from the Ruschenberger textbooks.
I will MC this for you. Let's keep you on the launchpad for a bit to see if a prooflistener comes along. In case you haven't used the Magic Window before, I'll send you info on that.
Cheers,
-Amy

Hi Amy, I remember you as well! Thanks for MCing. Great to have a familiar name right off the bat.

Yes, please send me info on the MW! This is my first solo project (super excited!!) and I've never used it before.

Great job on sections 2 and 3! The only issue is that you left 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of each recording. That time needs to be reduced to 0.5 to 1 second. Also for consistency you stated your name in section 2 but not section 3.

Thank you! I have fixed sections 2 and 3 and uploaded section 4. I'll come back to the preface eventually--it has a French epigraph and I'm doing some pronunciation practice before I take a stab at recording it.
