My friends say my voice is cutting or not clear. Check your settings for noise gate, automatic noise gate, noise reduction. In a quiet environment, those settings should be set to low values. Setting them to high values could lead to voice distortion.
How could I reduce keystroke noise - Enable impact noise reduction. This effect works better in combination with noise gate effect.
