I cannot get the three requirements for a CX in audacity the noise for the RMS in the peak levels when you adjust one throws the other two off is there an easy way to set this up so it can be the same setting each time I use the mic

Home users have problems passing ACX Noise. Noise isn't any one thing and can come from several different places. If you really win the lottery, you can have several different problems at once.

Record a ten second voice test according to this recipe.

Read down the blue links. They're very short.

Do Not process anything. No filters, effects, or adjustments. Record, stop, cut it for length if needed, File > Export WAV, and post it on the forum. It doesn't matter if you cut some words off. You're not reading for a theater award.

Which Audacity are you using? There's a new one with different tools. Audacity 2.4.0
