    As Bill says that is pretty much it, EXCEPT I would add that your mic gain is critical.  You want to see your peaks JUST touching into the red.  Any further and you can get some bad artifacts on your signal.

    I am a firm believer that you can get good audio without much if any compression.  I would personally strive to get your audio spectrum, using Ken's video method to have good energy shown across the audio range of your voice.

    As Ken points out in the video you can have different profiles for different things.  So you might have a good all around ragchew profile with little compression but good energy across your voice spectrum.

    then you might want a DX profile using the same spectrum but enhance the key frequencies used in word recognition and add in compression.

    I think compression is a good tool, just try to get the most out of your voice using the equalizer first.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
