(on the show)

Something like: 'I'm not going to read your (long) comments, give a show on it'.

Sorry for making you read my comments, dear HPR Janitors! (Specially you, good-voice Sgoti)

Topic 3: My audio setup

(Also you can see written on a commentary of mine on the link on Topic 2 a).

Topic 4: My audio editing (when I do)

With examples.

* On the sibilance ("sss") example, the adjustment settings for the to-be-better fragment was an agressive cut of -7.4 dB on frequency 5.8 kHz (for advanced curiosity: Q 4.73, threshold -36.3 dB, ratio 3.8:1). Did it only with some testing, and knowing that sibilance normally is at about 6 kHz (when it happens, because here the dynamic microphone ended up not capturing too much of it).

Topic 5: I'm in a new working time

If you can, do a word of prayer to God in favour of me.

If anything I said "that is better" is, actually, worse, don't worry thinking you are perceiving it wrongly, it's just that I'm not a professional and can have made it wrong. Or it's only a matter of taste, it's fine also; the ideas are there, and I welcome your participation too.

Thank you!
