Hi, Here is the link to my 1 minute test. It's a raw, unprocessed recording. I used audacity on Windows 10 and a SUDOTACK USB B07QXKMGHJ microphone. Looking forward to contributing.

My 1 Minute Test [OK]
Hi and welcome to Librivox. 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 right where it should be.
How to amplify in Audacity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_z607awyLw
If you like you can use the checker tool to verify volume and other settings.

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.

If you are using Audacity, here is a video one of our volunteers made on how to set up your tech specs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l00VDvGTieg
Please could you carry out the edits then upload the file using the same file name and post in this thread. If you need any more help please just ask. Thanks
