is that the exact configure command that you are using to compile Audacity?

You should normally connect USB devices before launching Audacity.

Ah, I think I see. So on the X axis, between those frequencies, depending on male or female, it will most likely be voice. The frequency ranges given there are for the "fundamental frequency" - that's the lowest "harmonic" within the sound. There's a lot of important sound in a ...

What does this command give you?

And just to cover it, LF Rolloff only works as designed with the Equalization Length slider all the way up—819 To get the best amount of low frequency (pop and rumble) reduction, yes. In this case there's not much pop, rumble or low hum to worry about, so a "long filter length" is not rea...

Users who want to mix and render all tracks to make space to add more tracks (a use case given in the Manual) In this use case it is essential that the tracks are listened to together (playback mix) prior to mixing down to a track so that the track gain and pan are set correctly, that the tracks ar...

There's a lot of "Reverb" effect on the voice (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverberation).
Other than that it may not be possible to tell exactly how the voice has been processed without knowing what the unprocessed voice sounds like.
