Reader's note: I'm still pretty new to creating podfic, but I got a little experimental when I recorded this. Any feedback about the supplemental audio (sound levels, clarity, etc.) or other constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I loved this story and am looking forward to listening. :-)

Would you like me to compile a podbook?

[lunate8.livejournal.com]

That'd be great, thank you! I loved this story too, it was fun to record.

[cybel]

Here you go! Enjoy!

Very cool, thanks for doing this! *uploads to player* One small favor, if it's possible: would you be able to add the technical notes of the Comments field from the original mp3 to the podbook, please? If the original Comments are cut off in your tag editor, let me know and I can send them to you. Thanks!

[cybel]

Yes, the comments exceeded the space and are cut off.

One way I've found to add longer comments is to add them under the Lyrics tab with a note pointing there from Comments. :-)

Good to know; I'm still learning the ins-and-outs (and limitations) of Audacity. :)

[cybel]

Actually, that's a limitation of iTunes. It only allows so many characters in Comments.

Send me the full text, and I'll edit away. :-)

I was wary when I saw that this was made into a podfic but you completely blew me out of the water. The computerized voices for the Morse code were absolutely perfect, I was able to tell when it was code and even who was doing the tapping. The pace was good and the entire thing sounded amazing.

[lunate8.livejournal.com]

Wow, thank you! I'm glad the pacing worked out, sometimes it felt awkward leaving what felt like giant gaps while reading. :)

I'm putting together a recs post for Amplirecathon, and realized I'd never given feedback. I was so impressed with the way you handled the Morse code in this fic. I'd never seen the text form, so it was a complete surprise. There was no confusion about what the computerized voices represented, and each "speaker" was clearly a different person. This is one of the fics that hooked me on podfic.

[lunate8.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! It was fun trying out the different voices to see which would work for which character. And Amplirecathon has reminded me about some feedback I want to give, too. :)
