and I've got the standard Rode pop filter Is that one of these? https://images.static-thomann.de/pics/prod/256708.jpg Could you try a recording without the Kaotica eyeball for us to compare with your first recording (go back to your original distance from the mic). By the way, how close to the mic ...

Just for general background information, here is quite a good (and not too technical) article that puts the case for and against high sample rates: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/apr14/articles/qa-0414-02.htm The case for sample format is much more clear. High resolution formats such as 32-bit floa...

What is your level of expertise?
Are you wanting general information about FFT analysis, or detailed information about the Audacity code?

I don't think there was any intention for the comments re. sample rate and sample format to be "snarky". Rather there is a lot of mis-information (mostly derived from sales hype) that encourages people to use much higher sample rates and formats than is actually required. I would venture t...

Although the "morse-like" noise is mostly 1- 3 kHz, there are overtones up to about 15kHz that become evident after removing the most "visible" part. It is also difficult to remove the loudest part of the noise because it tends to leave an audible "hole" in the sound. W...

What sort of pop shields are you using?

Unfortunately, it is intermittent broadband noise (broad frequency range and intermittent), which is virtually impossible to remove without causing significant damage to the remaining audio.

Not with Audacity.
Possibly with Melodyne by Celemony, however, the software is rather expensive, and it will be very labour intensive (will probably take several weeks of continuous work to separate the instruments of one song).
