Hi Zainab, welcome to librivox

All of your tech specs are correct but your volume is around 93dB which is too loud. We aim for 86 - 92dB. You might like to turn your recording volume down a little. Also if you look under 'effects' you will see the option to amplify which can also be used to take volume down after recording. The checker tool is here https://cgjennings.ca/projects/checker/ and can be used to check the volume of a recording.

Once you've gotten your volume within the accepted range please upload the test and post the link here

Everything is now correct

You're ready to record for projects.

just make sure volume doesn't get any louder as it's still at 91.2dB which is a little on the high side.
