Genius microphone Can we assume a Genius MIC-01A? Look in your Windows Sound Control Panels and see if you have a [X] 20dB Microphone Boost setting in addition to the regular microphone volume controls. If there is no boost setting, then you have one of the "quiet" sound cards. Audacity h...

You can give it a shot, but I don't think you can do it in batch mode. You need to do one at a time -- someone will correct me.

Audacity 1.2 Noise Reduction was never anything to write home about. Upgrade to Audacity 1.3. Audacity 1.2 is very old and no longer supported, patched, corrected, or updated. Audacity 1.2 can be unstable on newer computers. Download and install the latest Audacity 1.3 from here... http://audacityte...
