I can heartily recommend Reaper.
Reaper took my audio, which also was high gain and noisy, and with a few plugins obliterated the noise, made my voice sound cleaner, rounder, fuller, and does automatic volume adjustments so I never care about anything.
Feedback from others is that I now sound clear, clean, loud (in terms of relative volume at their end), full, "like a professional voice over or radio DJ".
But it took running the audio through Reaper to achieve that.

yeah the goxlr mini turns on phantom power in the app if i have to set it as a condenser mic instead of dynamic.
and the pre-amp will pick it up but i have to have the gain up near full to get the proper level I want and it just gets too noisy which means gating which then cuts out because i don't have enough wiggle room in the gain. hopefully a smidge more clean gain from the fethead sorts it.
the xlr mini appealed as it has the faders so I can change levels without looking at my pc. coupled with the stream deck and some canny macro keys I'm hoping I wont have to touch my keyboard while recording.
I'm actually not hating win10 pro either. feels very much like old style regular windows (xp style) than the 7/8 abominations. there's definitely some bootcamp related quirks lurking around than I am desperately hoping wont fuck this whole thing up.
At the very least I think my hardware setup is solid enough it will last a long time, so replacing the mbp with a dedicated streaming machine if warranted further down the line would be very easy to do.
I'm definitely going to be streaming to myself 99.9% of the time though but if it keeps me occupied I dont really mind.
