Is my audio horrendous?

I wouldnt say the audio is horrendous at all.
Audio levels seem fine from what i listened to.

I know you had some enhancements activated but mess around with a few things and you should be able to fine tune it to take care of your breaths/background noise.
I personally just use nvidia broadcaster and it cuts out fan noise entirely and keyboard because I just have a cheap setup.(Might be resource intensive depending on your setup)

As far as manually cutting out breath and mouth sounds that can be fixed via adjusting your noise gate. I Actually run my audio through a program called audacity mainly to get rid of breathing in the whole audio track with just a few clicks.

Im 50 videos deep and your setup sounds better than mine so dont be so hard on yourself 👍

Thanks for the feedback! Sadly my gpu isn't modern enough to use broadcast and the like... light version I could use wasn't any better than my mics things.

Which thing in audacity do you use to get rid of breathing? It would be a lot faster to automate that.

I'm hesitant to raise my noise gate because sometimes for example when laughing it will chop up the audio super bad.

So with the track selected

Effect-> Noise removal and repair -> Noise gate

However depending on your mic and what settings you have that will have to be adjusted
