I'm recording a spoken word audio file. Because of vocal fatigue, I broke it into several sections, and recorded each section on a different day. Now that I'm patching the sections together, the sound quality is different in each section. But I can't figure out what I did differently.

This folder contains three brief excerpts. Can someone tell me what I did differently? Why does Bunny.wav sound softer and warmer than rough-section.wave?

And is there a way to make the rougher section sound like the better section?

My equipment is a Yeti Blue Microphone attached to a MacBook Air, using Amadeus Pro as my DAW.

As the title says, My visitor logs show OAI-SearchBot/1.3 recieving inconsistent results when crawling my robots.txt file. Most of the time, it receives a 200 status, But sometimes it receives a 401, and other times it receives a 403.

I've whitelisted all of the IP addresses (in All-in-one Security) that OAI-Search is crawling from, but it made no difference.

I asked my hosting service for help. They restarted the server level firewall. But it made no difference.

Anyone else seeing this in their visitor logs? Any idea what causes it or what we can do about it?

Google Search Console has been reporting long response times for crawl requests on site for months, sometimes as long as 4 seconds. And I can't figure it out the cause.

• I'm on a litespeed server,
• I cleaned up the htaccess file. (eliminated the plugin that injects security headers, cleaned up the rewrite directives, etc.)
• Disabled the php firewall,
• I have LiteSpeed Cache installed (and well configured).
• I'm even priming the cache updates.

For a couple of weeks I had the response time down to 70 ms, but then yesterday it jumped back up to 3.5 seconds. And today it's back to 60 ms.

Can someone help me pinpoint the cause?
