Hi, a very small DC Bias is mostly OK, more important is what you see in the “Validation” tab: do you see there the message “This file has passed the chosen validation tests.”? If not, what do you see there?

DC offset becomes a problem only when it's visible in the waveform like so:

Any amount of DC offset under the value of 100 is not a problem. Actually I think the Checker flags the DC offset when above the value of 250.

When normalising to get rid of the DC offset, only the first square of the three needs to be checked (the second one is the one that changes the volume).

Thanks a lot for PL! :thumbs:

Chapter 18 was the next available section. I’m really glad that our project is attracting more and more volunteers now, so that this time I can jump over 10 chapters at once. ;) From which you alone have taken 3 chapters, that was really a generous gesture. :thumbs:

Welcome to our project! :clap:

As I see, you have to take the 1-minute test, as we all did when we first volunteered on LibriVox. Here is the link to the test:

https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/1-Minute_Test

As soon as you get Ok from LibriVox, let us know, so that we can assign you to section 22. ;)

See you soon! :D
