Many lavs need some EQ to match them to other mics.. boom mics for instance.
Lav mics that are buried under clothing usually need the 'presence' to be brought out a bit. As a rule of thumb, I usually attenuate frequencies below 90Hz or so, as there's normally no content below there in the human voice anyway, and try working with EQ in a subtractive manner. Sometimes an exciter, comp/limiter, de-esser, or multi-band comp. is needed and/or some NR, (noise reduction) I'm not aware of any pre-set that will 'automatically' work and there's no one-size-fits-all process chain either. You just will have to experiment.

Appreciate the response, rraud. As you can tell, I'm inexperienced with audio so was hoping to get some good pointers as to what folks usually do for certain types of sound. I guess I was hoping that there'd be something similar to Magic Bullet Looks for audio.

I suppose the nearest thing to an audio equivalent for MBL would be something like iZotope Nectar.

Don't know if it works well with Vegas, but I don't see why it shouldn't.

If there is rustling from clothing, then a bit of noise-gate and HPF may help.

Other than that, EQ to make things sound as you want.
