Yes. I'll give it another try. I was probably doing something wrong, since no one else seemed to experience what I did.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks Steve, I have a feeling it might have been you that put me onto the spectrum idea in the first place. I've been using version 1.2.6 because I had trouble with the noise reduction on the newer versions (http://www.audacityteam.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=6059) and I don't think 1.2.6 had a ...

Hi, A few months ago I was heavily into removing clicks from vinyls. At that time someone told me that I could identify them on the spectrum as heavy (red) lines. Currently I have a piece which has only two or three clicks, that the click removal tool doesn't seem to recognize. I 'think' I can see t...

Thanks WC. That was helpful.

Thanks for replying Koz. I have retreated to 1.2.6 and will probably stay there. I didn't change the settings on 1.3, so this is probably why I didn't get any change. 1.2.6 is fine for me. It's simple, and straight forward, like me. I know how to get what I want from it. Maybe if I get into somethin...

Hi W.C. Thanks for replying. No, I've never had problems with it before. Mind you, I haven't recorded anything for a long time. I don't understand it. I choose a blank selection for the profile, and choose get profile. Then I hit ctrl A to select the whole recording. This highlights everything. Then...

Hi,
I'm not sure if I'm doing somethng wrong, but I can't get the noise removal function to work in 1.3.5/1.3.4 as it does in 1.2.6 Is it supposed to be the same proceedure?

Hi, I wonder if someone might suggest what I need to copy music from vinyls. I have my turn table hooked up to an old Realistic (Radio Shack) preamp but I get a hum on the recordings. I have a supicion that the preamp is way to powerful, because I only have to turn it up the bare minimum to play mus...

Hi Steve, Okay. Thanks for the help. I used the sliders as you suggested, and eventually determined that adjusting the 3.15 and 2.50 Khz settings dampened the distortion. As you suspected, they did not entirely remove it, but did make the difference between acceptable, and irritating. Thanks again, ...

Hi Steve,
I've installed 1.3.4 as you suggested. What is the 'effects preview'? Right now mine's at 3 seconds. What do you suggest for it?
I really have no idea what to do with the equalization. Are the two sliders on the left side, what I'm supposed to play with?
