Thanks

My joke is about watching them elbow each other out of the way. Harsh! This sound recording thing isn't as easy as it looks. No sh$t, Sherlock (do you have that saying in America?) What? You don't keep a portable recorder with you? Errrr....(whistles awkwardly and looks at the ceiling...) No, dear....

Hi Koz,

That's so great, thank you for the link and the explanation

I am now past the coffee portion of my day and onto the red wine. Probably best not to be trying out any new mastering approaches until tomorrow, anyway!

Although suddenly I do want a white chocolate cookie...hmmm....

The damage caused by noise-reduction is irreversible. Hopefully you still have a previous version before noise reduction was applied. BTW There are two free plug-ins for Audacity here : DeClicking & DeEssing , worth having if you do narration. I keep all versions at every stage! Completely neurotic...
