You can absolutely turn it into a telephone call with the high and low pass filters. You can simulate that with Effect > Equalizer like this... http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/telephoneFilter.jpg Professional recordists also use a less dramatic series of filters -- the most common one is High...

Thanks for your help steve, I'll play around with various options on some test tracks. Most are multi-tracks already mixed to stereo but I do have some two channel recordings unmixed.

I also have some four channel masters but nothing to play them on - I donated my

... a while so I can't get back to the problem, but in the meantime have upgraded from NT6 to NT6.1 and wonder if that (and the cleaner install) may help. It is (ironically?) nice to know someone else also gets noise gremlins.

If removing detected viruses and restoring the computer to an earlier time doesn't help, I think the next task would be to see if you have the correct drivers for the built-in "HD" device (as supplied by the computer or motherboard manufacturer). We can ...
