using the compressor function smooths out the audio levels nicely without me having to manually amplify passages where the guest gets too quiet. The problem is, it also brings up the breathing to intolerable levels, That effect can be reduced by increasing the "Noise Floor" level. If the ...

I shouldn't have to simulate a bandpass filter by using a highpass and lowpass filter It's not a "simulation". Applying high-pass and low-pass filters in series IS a band-pass filter. You may also be interested in this plugin: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=204507#p204507 A...

It keeps asking to install plugins when starting it: hard_limiter_1413 and sc4_1882. These are already installed. That is probably a red herring. The plugins are only fully installed when Audacity has "registered" them. If Audacity has not completely opened, then it will not have register...
