So that almost has to be a transistor radio, right?

OK. good timing. I was going to ask you for that. This is my latest pass. I think I got most of the "normal" distortions down for a standard, "fringe area" broadcast. In the absence of "civilization" you can get AM radio broadcasts across the US, and can hear thundersto...

Yes, there is. The hard clipper, but it's a custom effect that I can't find quickly. I think I got the noise better, but I can't get rid of the Noise Gate natural reaction to try to "help me" by smoothing out the clicks. I WANT them harsh and irritating but the attack/decay slider will not...

Here you go. I had to pervert Steve's Noise gate and even then there's too much hiss. AM doesn't hiss. That's an FM problem. I got the intercarrier whistle OK, but the static could be sharper. See, that's script again. Are they listening to a little transistor radio? The pre-baked equalizer is misle...

Yeah. Low pass filter at 5KHz or slightly lower. AM radio has a restricted fidelity because of the number of stations you can smash onto the dial. Then the buzz and fading. I'm going to grit my teeth here because if you have a catastrophic event, there will be no lights or power in the neighborhood ...

the same equipment in the same location for about a dozen other auditions I note you didn't say: "My Equipment." If it's shared equipment, then you need to go through and make sure the performer before you didn't change something awkward. Did you mean Effect > Leveller? Do you remember wh...

I can make this worse.

If the picture fails you have a nice radio show. If the sound fails, you have a nice excuse for a reshoot.

Noise Removal is something of a violin. It's not a push the button and everything is fine. It's find some rosin and tune each string carefully. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/noise_removal.html The first step in noise removal is to find a portion of the show with noise and no performance. That...

If I had to guess at it, I'd say Audacity doesn't have permission to go down that pathway. We need to wait for the WIndows elves to appear.

You didn't tell us anything about the computer in any of that and you appear to have conflicting symptoms. You said you have "hash" or white noise on the timeline that you got during recording. Then you said you got more white noise during playback of a previously quiet music piece. Newer ...
