if you have noise try to remove it first. it will get harder the more you mess with the file. then be sure not to add noise by clipping. doing too much compression eq etc can make it sound worse then just enough f/x.

The term "re-master" is throwing me off. You can't do that with Audacity. And no where was it clearly established what you really do want to do with Audacity.

Right, I tried that but the best it can do is take some of the track out along with it.

Right now the term "remaster" is only referring to the edited tracks that were posted. I would like to edit some of my own tracks to be similar to them, originally I had no idea what to change but now it consists of removing the noise if there is any, lowering the highs and adding to the bass, I think. I'm not sure if that's all that was done to the edited tracks, which I linked to already.
