If you have 2.3.3, the effect is built-in. Effect > Filter Curve > Manage > Factory Presets > Low Rolloff for Speech > OK. That removes most low pitched sound below around 100 Hz. The broadcast and movie people who have to record outside use it to help with wind, handling, and wild rumble noises. Th...

Noisy edits are not normal. You can get bad edits if you catch the waveforms in the wrong place. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/BadAndGoodEdit.jpg The top wave will give a noticeable tick. I don't have a picture for this, but you can get a hit if you catch a wave anywhere but 0. Like get ha...

For one example, MP3 causes significant sound distortion but they're really clever about hid...

I am also trying to append those beginnings and endings to the tracks on which they actually belong.

post production effects... It's a New User mistake to naturally assume you need to apply a long list of effects, filters, and corrections to make everything OK. If you have a reasonable microphone in a quiet, echo-free room, you can announce in good story-telling style and master your work for publ...
