Publish a 20 second sample of your work to the forum. I'll do a quick mastering pass and see where it comes out. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/TestClip/Record_A_Clip.html Record your voice and don't do anything to it.

When this happens to other people, they're usually doing a bunch of things wrong and it's rough to split all the damage into cause a...

My objective is small file size for email Why are we doing this? What's the content? I get the clear sense we're messing with only part of the problem based on your tight and restricted description. There is a way to measure noise without the gymnastics. Select the work > Analyze > Contrast > Measu...
