You may have an odd-duck problem. I couldn't find any hum or other obvious damage in the file. I ran the file through Audiobook Mastering and it passes ACX Check technical submission standards. Screen Shot 2020-01-27 at 0.26.03.png Boop. Just like that. To be obsessive, I applied gentle Noise Reduct...

That's what a noise-gate does ...in post production. Not in real time. It's possible you can get that effect in Windows Enhancements. That will apply in real time, but you are warned, none of these tools are perfect and as Trebor above, some adjustments may give you cricket voices. Audacity does no...

(because we are also conversing with each other)

That's OK. You established two people in the show.

This will be solved soon because in our new setup the laptop is higher so went we look at the screen we also look at the camera at the same time Perfect. The Big Kids have displays on the camera under each lens so the performer seems to always be looking at the camera/audience. Screen Shot 2020-01-...

I know that low Gain also hurt quality Recorded sound has two limits. So loud that it distorts from overload and so quiet that it drowns in background and internal microphone noises. You job is to hit it in the middle. If you're counting, the blue waves on the Audacity timeline should have occasion...

There is one video production setting to be avoided. If you start out talking to the camera as a real person, keep doing that. Do Not shift to talking off camera unless you establish another person in the show. It makes me crazy when people shift aback and forth between talking to the camera and &qu...

Wait. It's all coming back to me. Boom microphone placement should be 18" up and 18" forward of the performer. The performer's eyes should be a third of the way from the top of the video frame ("Eyes At A Third") which should put the microphone just out of sight. That's the offic...

The desk stand is cheap, convenient and easy to include with a home microphone, but if you're trying to stamp out as many sound errors as possible, it's not the best placement for voice. The official juggling act is to place it just above the video frame. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/Fiel...

Many of the placement tricks aren't going to work for you because you're two people. but in general, the microphone should be even with your noise or slightly high. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/lin-manuelMicrophone.jpg That usually automatically needs a mic stand because if you pile books...

You probably should not upgrade anything for a while. Audacity is not supported in the latest MacOS Catalina. Has the komplete audio 6 ever done anything besides show up? Any sound either record or playback? If you set the komplete audio 6 as your playback device, do your headphones work if you play...
