Re: Noise Reduction Audacity 2.1

In each case I have aimed for "good" settings. Yes the effect is subtle, but I find that the "new artefact" occurs with any recordings in which the background noise is gentle hiss and there are breaths / mouth noises that are slightly higher level than the background hiss. Any vo...

Re: Initial Installation

Our manual does not have page numbers, so I don't know what instructions you are referring to. (This is the current online version of the Audacity manual: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/) In order for Audacity to be able to "see" an audio device, it must be recognised and enabled in Wind...

Re: Effect High pass filter with Q

That's OK. There are now double line breaks instead of none, but that should work OK. The author, David R Sky, was blind (sadly he died a few years ago). Many of his plugins have double line spacing, but that should do no harm. To use "Code" tags, ensure that there is one [ code ] tag at t...

Re: Noise Reduction Audacity 2.1

Another example. After the word "meal", the mouth and breath noises sound a little louder, but more natural in the first (old) effect and more "metallic / artificial" in the second (new) effect.

Noise Reduction Audacity 2.1

I've noticed a new type of noise artefact that occurs in the new "Noise Reduction" effect (Audacity 2.1 alpha) that did not occur in "Noise Removal" in previous Audacity versions. The attached audio file has the old Noise Removal on the first version, and Noise Reduction in the s...

Re: Effect High pass filter with Q

Is "High Pass Filter with Q..." listed once in the list of effects, or twice?
