I ran the section through the checker and got the message: it is best to remove any DC bias before you begin editing. I've never seen that before and wasn't sure how important it is. I listened to the section and it sounded great, except for a little fuzziness, which I thought could be my headphones. The file itself looked a little fuzzy in the silent sections, but I thought that could be background noise?
After listening to it I did a little research. It seems you can do something to your mic set up in windows to prevent DC bias or you could use Audacity to remove it. I tried the method recommended, saved the file and retested it in Checker and this time it passed.
Audacity's DC removal method performs a calculation to make the average positive and negative sample values equal. To perform removal, choose Effect > Normalize..., with the option checked "Remove any DC offset (center on 0 vertically)". Uncheck the "Normalize maximum amplitude..." box unless you want to run Normalize as well (see Amplify and Normalize for what Normalize does and when to use it).
https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/dc_offset.html#Limitations_of_offset_removal Here's a link to the whole article.

BTW I listened to the edited file and it did sound clear and not fuzzy.
Once that issue is cleared up I can PL OK it as that was the only issue.

Thanks,
aniroo

Download the recording from the Magic Window in the first post of this thread. I do it by right-clicking the "Listen" link and choosing "Save link as...", then it lets me choose where to save it on the hard drive, so I know where to find it, listen to it, and then delete it when I don't need it any longer. So, you listen to the recording, note any mistakes and the time they occur, and then post the notes back here if there were any mistakes, or just say PL OK for the recording you listened if there weren't!

Hi Thanks so much for that. That is much easier to understand and I am about to begin listening.

Hi Prentis,
thanks a lot for the good intentions, but there is no need for you to listen to section 24. We have a new proof listener who listens to all chapters. Have fun,
Stav.
