Your reading is great there are just some edits needed please. If you are using Audacity you can do the following.
The bit rate should be 128 kbps. When you export the file change ‘quality’ to 128kbps.
The recording should use a constant bit rate. When you export the file change ‘bit rate mode’ to ‘constant’
The recording should be in mono not stereo
The volume is 79dB which is too low. We aim for between 86-92 dB but ideally we would like it to be at 89 dB.
In Audacity you will also find the option to amplify under 'effects'.

If you like you can use the checker tool to verify volume and other settings.

There should be between 0.5-1 second of silence at the beginning of the file.
There should be 5 seconds of silence at the end of the file.
Also adding in a plug in called replay gain will help you to check your volume in Audacity. The link for the video on how to do this is below.
