Koz, Forgive the intrusion of an unknowledgeable idiot - but is this circuit called a microphone pre-amp?

Audacity 1.3.14 is shipped with a good selection of effects. I suggest that you experiment with these first. There are also additional effects that can be loaded as "plug-ins" (see here: http://audacityteam.org/download/plugins ) but I would suggest not installing too many plug-ins at once...
