what it do:

make soft and loud parts the same

--------------------------------------

4-steps-to-success:

1. remove noise

to remove MOST noise inside words

get noise sample

remove nosie

2. noise gate

to remove ALL noise in between sentences

cut out bg noise, but keep in everything else

threshold = -60dB

maybe -40

3. compressor

to bring up everything to be on equal levels

threshold = -56dB or -60

wet gain = +20dB

check mak up gaim for 0db

uncheck compress based on peaks

looks pretty good, but might be peaking, some parts still soft

********************THIS ONE********************

uncheck mak up gaim for 0db

check compress based on peaks

LOOKS the best, none looks too peaky, soft parts are loud

********************THIS ONE********************

uncheck mak up gaim for 0db

uncheck compress based on peaks

SUPER SOFT

check mak up gaim for 0db

SUPER LOUD

4. remove SSes or high frequencies(optional)

DS (de-esser)

threshold = leave it

range = from 6 to 8

OR

go to eq and between 5k to 9k, bring it down

called filter curve in audacity

EQ - optional

remove 2k to 5k freq

use lever to isolate SHARP

5. Limiter

        to 'shave' off the higher parts

6. Normalize

to bring up levels to the max

make max vol -1db(so can add music later)
