Harry Potter 1-4 (Jim Dale Audiobooks) Phoenix Editions (Released)
Time

This is a project that has been in the works for a while and got a revival in 2019. It differs from Almightycutie’s edit of Jim Dale’s books in that every chapter goes into a lot more detail in the sound design. I have poured many hours of time into every single chapter.

What does this edit change from the originals?

  • All Audio has been pulled through an equalizer to ensure consistency between the different books and increase the lows in some of them.
  • Ambient soundscapes make up the different areas you visit, creating immersive background noise
  • Sound effects are added whenever something occurs. Even smaller insignificant details have been added. I only add footsteps when I feel it adds to the scene however.
  • ALL of the character dialogue has been cut from the narrator and has reverb effects applied to them according to the environment they are in. (If they’re in a cave, it sounds like they’re in a cave. If they are outside, inside, you will notice the difference, even if subtle)
  • Significant moments in the story have soundtracks added. There is music in every chapter, but plenty of silent moments as well. Whenever the music fits however, it is present.

How much of the project is finished?
I have just finished Book 4, The Goblet of Fire. There are 3 more to go, which are quite large books. My planning for 2023 is to work on order of the phoenix. The 4 books however can be enjoyed right now.

I am still looking for people to listen over it, provide feedback and report mistakes.

Interested in listening? Please send my a PM and I will send you a link!

Harry Potter Audiobooks (1-2) Jim Dale Phoenix Editions (3-7) WIP
Time

Hello everyone,

Some may already know this project as it has been worked on since as early as back in 2015. I slapped together some harry potter edits of the jim dale audiobooks when I was around 17 years old but they were in bad quality and I have recently since 2021 returned to work on them with a fresh look and better skills at editing.

I was informed by a fan of my work that I should post the books here for you to see. Currently Book 1 and 2 have been fully finished with some fixes still to be done. I am working on 3 and hoping to finish it this summer.

My books include;
-Ambient effects
-Music
-Sound effects for almost all actions characters or environments make
-Reverb for all character dialogue adjusted to the room or environment

If you are interested in having a listen feel free to contact. These take a long time, I delve into a lot of detail while editing chapters. Have fun!
