Try this ordered chain for ElevenLabs output: 1) Spectral denoise — 15–25 dB reduction, preserve transients. 2) De-esser — 6.5–9 kHz band, aim for 1.5–3 dB typical gain reduction (threshold ~ -6 to -12 dB). 3) Subtractive EQ — HPF 80–120 Hz (wide Q), notch 3–4.5 kHz −2 to −5 dB for artifacts, tame 2–3 kHz −1.5–3 dB. 4) Dynamic/resonant EQ for spikes. 5) Light compressor 2:1, 2–4 dB GR, attack 10–30 ms, release 80–150 ms. 6) Limiter ceiling −0.5 dB; deliver to broadcast LUFS (EBU −23 / ATSC −16).
