Thanks
Any chance you'd like to take a stab at section 18 as well and just do the whole story, since it sounds like the previous reader's recording probably isn't salvageable?

https://librivox.org/uploads/knotyouraveragejo/moonendureth_18_buchan_128kb_mp3.mp3

I had asked the user to fix the file name and they basically went MIA back in January, so let's see how they did with this one (I can get jo to fix the filename if the rest of it is ok) and I'll orphan section 19 to see if we can get this project finished up soon.
There are numerous issues with this recording. The audio quality is not great, with the volume dropping out abruptly at several points and a fairly distracting background noise. There are also several misread words throughout, such as "appealing" for "appalling," "skewed" for "shrewd," "astral" for "ancestral," etc. If it were only once or twice, or if there were fewer issues in general, I'd call it acceptable. As it is, I'd say it's riding the borderline of acceptable or not, and since this reader is MIA, we may want to scrap it and start over. I will let you make the final call though. You may want to have a sample listen for yourself.

The one quick and easy fix is at 2:29. There is a repeat of "chosen by his superiors to keep his eyes open as a foreign attache in our..."
Yea, listening to it, I don't think it's salvageable. I just went through a similar issue with another project and had to scrap that one too... Unfortunate but I'd rather not delay this one any longer.

It's been marked ready for spot pl. It just might take a day or two for mighty to get back to validating it.

Thanks,

I Don't mean to be pushy but I lose track of where I am from time to time...LOL

I know the site was down and all are catching up with what I imagine is a large volume of content.

So for this, you'll need to create a solo project and get an MC and proof listener. Here are the steps on how to get that setup: viewtopic.php?t=13513

I will try to finish up PL for this after work tomorrow. So far, I have no plans, so we should be ok unless family stuff comes up.

It's very nice having this whole story read in one voice, thank you!

Some small edits needed for section 18:
Add about a half a second of silence at the beginning.
22:56 Repetition of "and I could have sworn"

I am still hearing the same issues with section 19 that I noted before. It seems to be the same file. :hmm:
