    Awesome upload dude, obviously i followed the generic audacity rules, but i noticed my voice was lacking the natural bass and treble i have, with the snowball, this has fixed that, favourited!!

    Dude, YES! I was having such difficulties with the level being too low and you just pulled out a whole bag of tricks to fix that. This is exactly what I needed. You are the man, have a gold star. And thank you again, sincerely.

    @dombrown2530 6 лет назад +1

    Usually better to compress rather than limit. Limiting chops of the top of the waveform, effectively breaking any natural dynamic range of the voice, compressors will also reduce dynamic range but has the benefit of increasing inteligability and reducing sudden volume changes. 🙂

    For anyone who is using a Mac and does not have the equalizer option. You can read this: forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?t=107784
    OR
    Go to Effect > Filter Curve > Manage [on the bottom left] > Factory Presets > Then choose "Bass Boost" / "Treble Boost"

    When you do a "limiter" effect, does it fix static noises the mic picks up on? Or any of these effects you demonstrated here fix static noises? Just got my Blue Snowball & trying to avoid the static noise but unsure if you can easily edit it or its just where or how you place your usb cord.

      If anyone is having this issue as well I found how to fix it. For me personally I found my voice naturally has a lot of treble so I don't do the treble boost. If you notice that there are large peaks that come from the treble boost I would say avoid that. Same goes for boost. I personally only use normalize, compressor and limiter
