I was looking at the Spectrogram features built into Audacity I presume that you mean "Plot Spectrum" http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/plot_spectrum.html and was hoping to see something comparable to what is in iZotope Rx3 (advanced) Well I can see a few differences, but what in parti...

Audacity does not have "real time" effects. The recording is always "dry" (exactly what the sound system gives it without modification). In Audacity you apply effects after recording. Because effects permanently change the audio, it is a good idea to make a backup copy of each re...
