What was the show? What were you recording?

Definitely a thought... No, I don't really think it's that, either. These iThings have too many of the characteristics of listening to a computer change processing and shifting gears depending on how it's feeling. That swooshing sound from the iPhone is me swiping. Yours is much more like a motor c...

There is this.

What's the microphone? I don't think you posted a Make/Model anywhere. Re: Click Removal, Noise Gate, Punch/Copy . I'm sure they're all terrific tools, but I have no more experience with them than you do. This is where one of the other forum elves dives in and tells you what to do. I do know that &q...

run a lot less smoothly...after the first month of use. Are you using cloud computing or storage? iCloud? Audacity doesn't like that very much or any network connected storage. I try to load two audio files separately. So you import one sound file successfully, and then drag the second file into a ...

I'm using "effect" - "click removal" on the highest settings which seems to do nothing I believe Click Removal depends on the click or pop being higher volume than the voice. Someone will correct me. I haven't used either that or Noise Gate. I know Noise Gate's job is to suppres...

It's a common mistake to reduce background noises to zero, but I wouldn't do that. Just reduce everything 15dB or 20dB. Just quiet enough so nobody will ever find the clicks—eve...

I don't want to submit an audiobook with hundreds of little clicks in it.... doesnt seem professional. Don't worry, it probably won't make it past Human Quality Control. I can think of a worse problem. One of the forum posters sold multiple books and couldn't submit the last one. No matter what he ...

You can use Punch Copy/Paste. https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=208312#p208312 This was designed to quickly and easily cover up "simple" noises such as yours. It's still manual one-by-one, so we still have to find where they're coming from, but the action is a lot simpler (we ...

Lets do a test. Start a recording and leave the room for about 20 or 30 minutes. Come back and stop it. File > Export a WAV (Microsoft) 16-bit > OK. While it's open, cut out any large blue waves like any noise you may have made when you moved your chair.That should give you a field of super tiny cli...
