Is this the right way with the logo now with it being up at forehead angle? Facing down towards my lap? The "Blue" logo should be facing you directly, not pointing downwards, (or in any other direction). Also the Yeti mic body should be close to vertical, but upside-down is OK ... blue-ye...

Both of your last two tests (982.73 KiB) & (967.73 KiB) sound very boxy to me. The mic is the wrong way round on your desk ... https://forum.audacityteam.org/download/file.php?id=25794 If you still have it that way you need to turn it so the "Blue" logo is facing you. [ See this Blue Y...

Ok and this is at the forehead, with pop filter. After I saved it raw for you guys here, I performed the 3 steps and got it to pass ACX but just curious if it's no longer boxy and buzzy? audacity sample.wav (865.04 KiB) That test (865.04 KiB) sounds very poor: boxy (not buzzy).

Or were you saying that my first sample didn’t sound like I was in a box but the second one did? They were both recorded in the same exact space. Your " audacity sample.wav (862.04 KiB) " does sound very different from your " audacity sample.wav (843.17 KiB) ", as if they are di...

audacity sample.wav 843.17 KiB sounds like you're in a box. audacity sample.wav 862.04 KiB does not have the boxy sound.
