Hey, just wanted to say thank you so much for your guide on using Audacity. I found this video linked on Reddit in an old post and it has helped me immensely, not to mention saved me a lot of time in cleaning up my audio. :)

Thanks for the tutorial Sea Otter, have started using this on the audio recordings for my newest vids and it's helped a lot :D

Wonderful tutorial! It solved a lifelong problem with the noise from my Pc's fans. And the Chain command is a real bonus!

Before you talk about that Chain I was like "... Nah... too much trouble"  But that Chain is something special. man. Thanks for sharing such a helpful thing that is this tutorial.
=)

Turns out the changed the "chains" feature to "macro", but it's still there. They're *SUPER EFFECTIVE!*
(I was using an old version because I never updated, but recently switched to a new PC and realized this)
Also, Hard limiter is just "limiter" now

Thank you so much! It REALLY helped out so much!! Especially for the chains! I'll never have to go through hell adding effects individually ever again! x'D Thank you *_SO_* much! You earned yourself a like and a sub! :)
