You might consider preparing MP3s for the performers and audience before you start these corrections as you may be doing them for a long time.

It is very highly recommended that you save WAV copies of all the work in a safe place. You don't want to be the person who made an audio correction and the computer went into the mud... and took the show with it . This being said, one could maybe increase the overall loudness I did exactly that to ...

That's clear. Is it a stereo show? Two blue waves when you get done? I know you record in mono, but you don't have to post it that way. Cut down from a show, or, shoot a fresh ten second test that has this problem, Export it as WAV (Microsoft), 16-bit and post it on the forum. Use conversational wor...

Details are good. For example, are you using Voicemeter (as in your post) or Voicemeeter, an actual program, or even Voicemeeter Banana which last I checked is the recommended program depending on your show. Does Voicemeeter have versions? I know it's hard to think clearly while you're pulling your ...

How about maximum effects per group was set to a number? Or Audacity thinks it's set to a number.

Correct me, but this is a unicorn problem. One off—first I've heard of it. What about Windows 10 or an install glitch could cause that?

Open one of the performances. Effect > High Pass Filter: Frequency 20Hz, Roll-Off 12dB > OK. EarthquakeFilter.png That will get rid of the earthquake tones. Recorder error??? It's pretty common.

Is there anything else you could recommend to try out? No. When you started your post I imagined the performances in my head and that's exactly what the samples sounded like. It's not unusual for people to assume they need to apply tons of effects, filters and corrections. If you accurately capture...
