My recording is finished, waiting further instructions. As others have mentioned, the software was very simple to use--and I was pleased by the recording quality from the super-simple system.<BR>
<BR>
I got up that morning with hay fever and very little voice (and I needed to record that day, as I had several days of travel ahead.) So, I practiced pressing the pause button and clearing my throat off-mic! Stopped to clear my throat about halfway through, and started reading again without hitting the record button. But what I had sounded fine, so I backtracked a bit and recorded the rest, and my son helped me trim and splice the two segments together.<BR>
<BR>
I had some frustration about learning the technical pieces, but they turned out to be quite simple--and nothing is more fun than discovering I can do something new!<BR>
<BR>
The reading was fun and challenging--all those lovely LONG sentences--and like Brendan, I was curious about how to make a recording that will be clear and interesting for the listeners.<BR>
<BR>
It just delights me that a group of volunteers around the world--none of us really knowing all the pieces of how to do the task--could organize and record a book in a couple of weeks (I know that David will be spending more time ;-) Watching that process unfold was as exciting as the finished product! My husband has been saving a lot of the Listserve correspondence on this into a file, as a case study of self-organization at work.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks, Alex, for the idea of how to do this, and for stepping up to take the leadership--thanks for setting the stage for all this fun and learning!<BR>
