  3. For removing pops check out Steve’s popmute plugin: https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/new-plug-in-effect-popmute/17499/1
    You might also be looking for dynamic compression. There’s a built-in compressor in Audacity (Effects menu → Compressor). Chris’ compressor is also quite popular and you can download it as a plug-in for Audacity: http://pdf23ds.net/software/dynamic-compressor/
