@Harry, it would help if you describe what you're trying to do accomplish or need to do by adjusting the settings.

I don't mess with the default audio track fx, I leave them at the default setting. Instead, I bought NewBlueFX's Audio Scrubbers plugin for all my audio cleanup needs.

Also, try searching for "audio tutorial" on this forum and the Vegas Pro forum for threads that may have links to audio tutorials.

Compression EQ, noisegate and reverb.are already in the FX you have.

If you’re recording speech or dialog you may already have too much room noise like hiss and the like, then you may need a noise gate to get rid of the noise. It will kick in where you set it usually just below the sound you want to hear.

and

But on that sample you can hear the "room noise" I mentioned.

No, it will not. All a gate can do is eliminate the "room noise" when the level (speech / music) falls below a certain level. When a person is talking the "room noise" will still be there .. AND .. using a gate, IMHO, only makes me notice the "room noise" MORE as is appears and dissapears during the event.

Maybe I wasn't clear. Sorry.

What clips are you talking about? The OP didn't mention clips or post links to them. I'm confused.

BTW..... WSS, why are you bolding your posts? IT'S ALMOST AS BAD AS ALL CAPS. :)

The clips were from the link to the NewBlue audio plug bundle you mentioned before.

Just an affectation.

A noise gate will take a certain db level and keep anything below that from being recorded.

Yes, I understand that. My complaint is that when the offending "background" noise is too loud. People using a gate on a "too loud" background noise only serves to call attention to the noise as it appears and disapears during the event. If you think that people can't hear the noise while there is speech going on .. you are sadly mistaken.

IMHO, much better not to use a gate in such instances.
