I normally record sound first and dry, then apply all effects after the fact. This is the way people were advised to do it in the analog days, as it meant an effect wasn't committed irrevocably to tape. The exception was when the effect was required for the player to perform.
I use a lot of compression on sound, the way advertisers do, since I make political audio and video pieces. Since many were originaly for radio broadcast on multiple small stations, audio power was of great importance. I needed to be able to see the dry track and work on it to get high average sound energy. For that kind of work, Audacity still has the edge. I don't want to see either program go away.
