I'm a full stack web developer who has been freelancing for the last 20 years. I write about everything from development to production and also have video courses on my site!
You might want to look into using REAPER or another DAW for recording. You can set things up so that when you click record and start talking, it will add things like a noise gate (removing background noise) and other effects automatically in real time.
The saved recording will have all of that applied. Then your editing process becomes removing human errors, not processing audio and this will drastically simplify and reduce the time it takes to edit.
You can even set things up so that you can redirect that real-time processed audio to another application as microphone input, so you can get high quality Skype calls, or anything else.
That's what I end up doing for my video courses. REAPER's audio gets sent directly to Camtasia. I do zero audio processing afterwards.

I've been wanting to investigate Reaper for some time now, but I've been put off by the sheer scale of what it can do. It looks so complex to use.
Would you recommend a specific set (or subset) of tutorials on it, or would you recommend just diving in and getting my hands dirty with it?
