OS version: Windows 10
Audacity: obtained through .exe
using version 2.1.0
I recently had downoladed an audio file off of youtube, and I wanted to fix it because there were annoying clicks and “blips” in the audio. After much trial and error, click remover had done nothing no matter what I tried. I have here a short WAV file with the best examples of this, and the full file in MP3 form.
If anyone can provide help, please do! I am very new to audacity and audio editing in general.
Is there any way to fix this? I have tried cutting out the “blips” however that seems to alter the tempo of the particular part of the track. (I have no way to access a version of the file without these noises, as I am not the one who made/retreived it)
I have, and alas, there are none. (I downloaded the song, by the way)
I do own the game the music is from, however I have not been able to find public instructions on ripping WiiU music. (which is beyond audacity’s control.)

Right. You have removed time from that track. That track will get to the end of the song before the others. If you roll the timeline to the right-hand side, the end, you will see that “corrected” track is shorter.
Getting a good grip on how the timeline works is a learning process.
There is one weapons-grade obsessive thing you can do. You can copy the same note from somewhere else in the song and paste it in the hole. Repeat as needed. You have to learn accurate editing without disrupting time, matching waveform direction and zero-crossings, etc. That can’t take you any more than six weeks.
