It's not unusual to lose those tools when you reformat. Some of them are hidden or otherwise hard to get to. You didn't say whether you were still in Windows XP or not. You can get oddball problems like you have if you're not recording the internet radio show directly, but instead using your microph...

It's not semi-impossible. You can't take apart a mixed performance into individual instruments. There are digital celebrities where this can work, but they tend to be performances where the instrument you want is playing by itself, or is playing in the exact center of an uncompressed stereo performa...

Particularly in Audacity 1.3, you can save your work and generate two complimentary patterns, or just use one number for Low-Pass and High-Pass. Frequency Masking is what Noise Removal does. Expose it to a Profile (sample of the evil sound) an...
