Some (all?) the 2 or 3 recordings I've completed required *_128kb.mp3 in the file name. Checker v0.96 throws a Validation error saying standard names should not include the bit rate information. Just ignore this right?
Kind regards,
DeBug
Checker 0.96 and bit rate in the file name question.

I had to test this out for myself, because I've never seen that error message in Checker. It apparently shows up when you have it set for "strict" validation.
Yes, please ignore that. It has been a requirement for a while now, in order to properly derive the files over at Archive.org (where are files are hosted).
You can probably just stick with "gentle" validation all the way around.

I have a question on the checker. I am a broadcast engineer IRL and have used quite a few DAW's and am used to measuring audio levels from a reference. For ex NPR wants production levels to be -24db LUFS (loudness units full scale) +- 2 db for submission, for consistent loudness. Where is the 86 to 92 referenced from? Is it db above noise floor?
Just curious.Thanks.

I'm pretty sure Checker measures it from... zero, because when you run noise reduction, the measured volume decreases.
This, of course, doesn't give the absolute best results, since people's noise is different. But we're not overly technical/professional here. We developed somewhat freely, as did the technicals such as volume requirements.
