MMm, also, I used a cheap Phonic MU 802 mixing console to plug the cheap mic. 
I recorded all the song in 3 hours and mixed and mastered it in 1 or 2 hours 
(but I was thinking about it for months ;-) )

For sure: the effects chains for voices and other instruments are 
hardware/style/taste/noise, etc dependent (clerk, I dont know how to say it 
in english, sorry) 

I used a GATE because the hardware produces a bit of noise: I used a multiband 
EQ for some voices because I dont have a condenser MIC. Also, i used a 
de-esser plugin because of the loud ssss (a recording problem, a hardware 
problem)

But Compressors like SC4 or delays and reverberators were used just because I 
like it's sound, a matter of taste... SC4 was used to make the voices 
audibles "all" the time

Finally, into audacity I just limited the MIX using Fast Lookahead limiter (+ 
3 db)

Well, that's "almost" everything about effects
