Progress Update

In my last post, I mentioned creating another build of the Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror audiobook but I've found out that the rips I used were not from a CD but an audio cassette and on trying for a couple of days now I've come to the conclusion that my original build is as close as I can get given the material available.
The main problem is the chapters bleed together too closely often resulting in a "jump" which overlaps and makes the transition sloppy so unless there's a CD based option that I could use I'm afraid the project is dead in the water which pains me because I'm a perfectionist when it comes to something I take time to put together

In other news, the primary work for the sequel audiobook The Trench is complete and thankfully in more better quality and with better structure and I hope to finish and upload it by the end of this week.

Finally in light of the Meg audiobook going belly up, I've decided to do Pacific Rim instead but with a twist which is to use stills from the film and concept art for chapter art.

Good/Bad idea?

A Quick Update

Just a quick update here,
I've been listening to the audiobook of Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror and realised that I've made some errors in the build like a chapter has been cut short etc and I'm currently working on a second build of the audiobook and will upload and replace the links when its finished and also I've managed to get hold of the sequel The Trench on audiobook which I'll also be building in the meantime along side with Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror.
