Hello Jeanette,


Thanks for your reply.

The purpose of the recording is to capture my voice to deliver training 
materials through MP3 files via Internet downloads.

The recordings will occur in a room treated for sound absorption of echoes.

I will use a Blue Designs Yeti for the recording.

I have several years of professional training as a speaker.

I will record the signal dry and edit it in post-production.

I agree on the signal chain of equalization and limiting, with perhaps 
compression.

Specifically, I am looking for recommendations on the names of preferred 
plugins for the proposed signal chain.


Kindest Regards,
