Well, it looks like the little sample of noise that applied the spectrum analysis to does have quite a bit below 20 Hz, but I will let you decide. Please see attachment. And, thank you very much for your help,

Try to get a noise sample that is typical of the noise that you want to remove. If the noise sample is too short, you can use the "Repeat" effect to make it longer. 5 seconds duration should be enough for the noise sample. Noise removal in Audacity 1.3.13 is usually better than Noise Removal in Aud...

When you open up Dominic's Amplify, what you should see in the upper input box (labelled "Amplification dB:" a figure which shows the amaount of headroom to 0 dB i.e. the amount you need to amplify to get to 0 db. So if you are having to de-amplify to get to -2 dB than this means that you are recor...

So what step 8 does for me is it enables me to record at step 1 with little or no risk of clipping, but still with a good signal level, and with plenty of headroom for any editing I want to do. What step 8 then does is bring the maximum level of the signal up to a point where it goodly loud, but wi...
