    This is brilliant, thank you so much for your clear and concise instructions. Just a side note, for anyone who is looking for the "Soft Limiter" option, head over to effects and scroll down to the "Legacy" options where you will find the "Legacy Limiter" menu. It's from here that you will find the "Soft Limiter" option.

    You have no idea just how much you have saved my sanity. I am so extremely grateful to have found this video. I was getting ready to release a video series on my own channel, and hated the idea of having to re-record the audio for it as it always sounds like I have a mouthful of turd. Now, all I have to do is run those audio clips through Audacity and boom, problem solved. Thank you so much!!

    I spent several months studying microphones and listening to what they picked up and how my voice sounded, learned a lot and returned many before I picked the mic I have and I still love it. I personally don't really believe there is is an ideal voice standard and it's a preference. I have unusually good hearing and can hear things most people don't so it's a challenge at times to sort through all the ambient noises. It's a gift and a pain at times. I'm not hard of hearing, i just hear so much more.
