It would be interesting to know what interface that is, as I've never seen one behave like that.

In fact I'd already written something starting with "I'm getting denser by the hour...", but you were faster, as usual, Koz

Thx, Gale. Forgot about that.

But still, I can grok dropouts or clicks, but clipping?

I have no idea, really...

Are you sure the download finished?

Did you try moving after a restart, or to a different directory (just as a test)?

ffmpeg 55.33.100/55.52.102/52.66.100 Do you really have three ffmpeg versions installed? I could never get two versions to work reliably (on my Mac), let alone three. I don't know if it has to do with your problem, but I've had some very weird problems too, with two different ffmpeg versions. I nev...

I've amplified 40 dB and ran Noise reduction with standard settings: -12 dB, 6, 1.

It sounds a bit better.

I can't make out if this is real rain or bad noise because of a low recording level, cause I'm listening on laptop speakers.

But your recording seems salvageable.

Another trick that works well for me, is zipping up the folder and the .aup file into one archive and then uploading the .zip file.

I think you should capture in Audacity and edit in Audition. Nowhere is it written you can't have two editors. I have two. I wouldn't run both at the same time. Audacity doesn't like that. I always run Audacity as second fiddle, next to Reaper, Garageband and Sony Sound Forge. No problem. So if you...
