Order of audio effects ...

Hi, I posted this in the SF forum but I'm not getting any input there. I'm doing some mono narration in Sound Forge and what sounds best to me is adding a noise gate, tweaking the equalizer, tweaking the dynamics and normalizing. Can anyone tell me which order this should be done in for best results? TIA for any input .

You've got the order correct. You can also put the gate after EQ. Compression is generally last in the chain, although rules are made to be broken.

You might find you can be more agressive with gates if you add in a little bit of room silence loops.
