Usually the terminology someone uses is a testament to their actual knowledge about a subject, and sad to say, your jargon is gibberish.

What people are trying to say is that there is no such thing as effects going through a mic like you describe it.

You don't want to record yourself with a bunch of effects.
What you want to do is record yourself raw (or slightly compressed and eq'ed but lets not complicate things), THEN when you have those recorded files in front of you in your editing software you'll want to apply those effects and adjust them and all that good stuff. I don't know if your software works that way but real DAWs do.
But yeah, you don't do it all at once. It's a lengthy, detailed process that takes a lot of practice.

You don't plug in a microphone, choose some effect settings and hit record. Just doesn't work that way.

And no offense but even if you may think you understand compression and eq, it never hurts to dig deeper. There's a lot to know! Pros never stop learning.
