Need custom effects stack

Hi, all. When I began using Audacity, I realized I don’t sound nearly as good on my recordings as I do in my head! :slight_smile: So I found a guy to make me a custom effects stack/macro with EQ, limiter, compression, noise redux, de-esser, etc… and it worked great, until recently, when I had to move my mic setup. Now the guy isn’t interested in making a new/revised stack, but I need one and don’t know how to create it myself. Willing to pay a reasonable price for the assistance. Can’t seem to find much in the way of online services like this – does anyone have any recommendations? TIA!

While it’s free … Enhance Speech from Adobe | Free AI filter for cleaning up spoken audio
It does de-reverb, de-noise, de-essing, EQ.

It’s not adjustable though, & IMO, some effects are too strong …

thanks for this – agree, too strong. i posted on upwork. maybe someone who has the skills and needs a few $ will be willing!

Apparently Audcaity macros cannot automatically capture a noise-profile for noise-reduction.
So capturing a noise-profile is something you’d have to do manually before running a macro which included Noise-reduction, see Example2 … Macros Examples - Audacity Manual

many thanks again. would you mind taking a quick look at this and letting me know how i could adjust it so that i’m not getting low noise floor errors? (sorry, would upload but as a new user i’m not allowed to include attachments :frowning:

hi. me again. so i found a dude to create a stack, and that’s in progress.
in the meantime … i’m trying to add the Audacity limiter into the real-time effects menu but can’t figure out how

is there a way i can make the limiter show up with bass/treble, distortion, etc.?

Nope. Not your fault: Audacity’s limiter does not work in real-time.
