She says about two or three words
I think she says a lot more than that and all of it is covered up by your breathing.

Audacity is not good splitting up a mixed performance into individual instruments, voices or sounds. That and a lot of other reasons it doesn't make a good surveillance recorder.

No its not her. The sound that i am looking to enhance is about 4 secs long or 3 words and very dim to hear. I think you didn't hear it, but anyway could you possible tell me what program i could use to cancel out the music and those breathing sound or maybe enhance the other sounds. Thank you.
