The order in which you apply your effects matters. Let's spend a few minutes exploring the sequence I recommend to start with and the principle it's based on: remove before you enhance.
PRODUCTION NOTES
Recording Mic: Zoom LMF-2 Lavalier mic
Recording device : Zoom F2 32 bit float Field Recorder
Recording location: Dining table. Urgh, I caught some reverb here. Left it in, oh well!
Recording format: WAV (32 bit float mono)
Editing app (and EQ) : Audacity
Sound Treatment: Auphonic Productions at Auphonic.com
Auphonic.com settings [to output as a 16bit mono WAV file]: Adaptive Leveler (on), Loudness Normalization (Loudness Target -19 LUFS ), Filtering (on), Noise and Hum Reduction (Reduction Amount: Auto), Sample rate: 44.1kHz
I uploaded the resulting WAV file to Anchor.fm to host the file and added the music from their free music stock.
