I would like to record a YouTube stream of an audiobook - Catch 22 read by Wolfram Kandinsky.
This is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yJJNcloGMg
I was hoping that anyone so inclined would take a quick listen and see if there might be some simple ways to clean up the sound and if so, whether it should be done as I record or applied after recording.
I've used Audacity for several years but I am very much at a beginner level.
El Capitan 10.11.6 Audacity 2.3.2.0 Generally I use Chrome as my browser.

Re: recording youtube audio
No, there isn't. That recording has already had noise reduced about as much as possible - any more and it will start to sound worse. Also, the recording has a very restricted frequency range (no bass and no high treble) - you can't put back what's not there.peteriancole wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 7:33 amif there might be some simple ways to clean up the sound
