Ok great, you can list it as Ryan Powell. I don't have a website or anything like that yet.

Thanks

Thank you! The reading itself is A-OK (and well done). The volume is a little low, though.

Please amplify by 4 dB. If you can't do that without clipping, if you use Audacity, then first do a Limiter, with the limit set to -4 dB. That will shrink the peaks down so they're below 4 dB from maximum, without making any noticeable change to the overall volume and sound quality. Thus you can then amplify by 4 dB. :)

Here's the revised version with the new dB levels. I do use Audacity, so I used your suggestion to limit, then amplify. Hopefully this is what you're looking for:

Hmm. This has the same volume, and the exact same file size, leading me to suggest it's the same original file. Did you upload the wrong one, by chance? :)

It's possible I accidentally uploaded/exported the same audio file, although I'd bet on my having screwed up something with the effects. I'm still getting the hang of all this.

Anyway, the link below is definitely the export of the modified audio file rather than the original. It sounds a little louder to my naked ear, and the waveform patterns look a bit different from the original, so something changed. If it's still not what you're looking for though, let me know and I'll try something else.

Thanks! A couple PL Notes:

10:43 - Stumble: "and it would be very well.... and it would be well to vary their..."

19:03 - "But really, I am no believer...across the course." repeated at 19:07

23:19 - Stumble: "Of course when tees have not been.. Of course when tees have not to be"
