Crystal ball, give me a clue what he wants to do. noise removal, click removal...

Btw, there is no magic button that turns a crap 8kHz 8Bit mono stream into a 48kHz 16Bit 7.1 Dolby Surround sound super high definition audio stream.

Noise Removal, Equalizer, and Compressor setting for microphone quality

You also need a better mic.

I sense some confusion here.

Rule 1: Compressor is not a tool to increase the quality of the recording. I never used Compressor myself. Ever. I do use Limiter tho.

Noise Removal is handy in your scenario but only if the noise you want to remove is constant. (LQ microphone background tones are like this, but if your recording has the noise of f.e. a car passing near your recording place, you can't remove that with it).

Another side-effect of relying upon Noise Removal that you probably will have to kill off the frequency ranges of the background noise entirely from your recording, which might result with a radio/hollow feel already because of the microphone - for reference, see my RedRes Cazador recording which is by nature sounds like that, albeit it fits the unit itself. You could go and try playing with Equalizer to play with the bass-treble ratio but there's no generic receipt to achieve that, becuse every microphone acts differently especially since most mics have a characteristic and even that characteristic ain't constant within every frequency.

Ah yea, characteristics. You should quite get used to your mic, you should know how it acts in deep frequencies and how does it act in higher ones. Most cases these are even direction-dependant, with mostly directly in front to mic being the most optimalized however  - unless you use a pop filter - you can't use that since your fs, ss and vs will gonna ruin the mic with their pops. As a word of advice, you shoulda speak directly next to the microphone... yes, it does come with a bit distortion which usually make basses better and treble lost, but it's still the best solution besides a pop filter. There's also a frequency range of a microphone, and you can't do anything with it. (f.e. my first microphone was a Panasonic RP-VK21, which has a reported frequency response of 80 Hz - 12 kHz and that was just okay even for RA2, and plain bad for Generals, compared to my current Auna Mic 900B, which's specs says 320 Hz - 16 kHz, but it actually does make a difference, listen at http://copy.com/9Hk60AiQbhsSaEvJ where first line is my old mic 'cleaned out', second is my current mic's actual master)

There's also Limiter, which is to equalize differently. The recording is consisting of many spikes and Limiter is for decreasing the volume difference between the loudest and the most silent portions. Overusing Limiter tho to fix your recording actually takes away the emotional content of the recording, as most remasterings shown it ( for reference, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war ) shown it with plenty of their music updates, however it's really helpful to fix unit quotes for that - assuming you want to record for RA2 here, in which scenario a heavy limiting upon cleaned out master helps a ton.

Ah yeah, and a footnote. If you intend to record with a PC - nowadays motherboard-installed-soundcards are equipped with a cheap digitizer which will be noisy. USB microphones are more crisp because the mic itself does the digitizing with a hardware which was specifically designed for the mic.

So, is this the better on maximizing quality???

-Noise Removal
-Normalize
-Equalizer(BassBoost and Treble Boost)
-Normalize
-Hard Limiter
-Normalize
