To Room Tone Or Not To Room Tone

... Or Is Silence Better?

Done - Section One CHAPTER FIVE

It sounds good. This is however, an attempt on my part to use actual room tone instead of silence in the speech gaps. There appears to be a consensus in the audiobook community that room tone is better than silence and that the brain is distracted by silence. I find the intro at the very beginning a little distracting. However, I may be overly critical because using the room tone is a new method for me.

In other news, Monty Witt (our new dog, a chihuahua) is getting along swimmingly with Sunshine Witt, who is an older dog, a mixed breed.

Back to audiobook stuff in general. I recently started listening to Brandon Sanderson's audiobook series The Stormlight Archive. It is quite good! He appears to be a prolific writer. I tremble at the thought of narrating / producing audiobooks that long, a whopping 45 hours each book! Beeswax! That would need to be my only job in order to finish it in a reasonable time.
