Glad to have you with us Richard.

Your technical specs need to be changed a bit. Please:
1) make it in a mono, not stereo track. (you do this when exporting the file)
2 ) Your bit rate needs to be 128 kbs constant; this one is close at 131 kbs variable
3) You need to increase your volume. This recording is at 75 dB, we aim at 89 dB.

If you know how to do these things, great. Then make another recording called test 2 or someting and I will check it out.

If you don't know how to do these things, just let me know and I will help. Your voice is fine by the way.

:D
