I'm listening to it with the rate set at 41. It's too slow for my liking at 40,
and too fast at 42. That was the first thing I adjusted after I activated it.
I've worked out what some of the settings do now, but there are many that don't
seem to do anything at first, though I admit I didn't leave the dialogue while
I was fiddling in case I wanted to revert something back to the default
setting. A mini-guide for what the various sliders do to the sound would be
appreciated. :)
