You want to raise the level of the recording, and you want to remove background hiss

I just recorded a lecture with my android phone, leaving the thing sitting in my lap the whole time. The result is a very faint, marginally understandable speaker plus very loud interruptions from when I shifted my legs etc... So now I'd like to edit it into something useful. A friend recommended the Audacity program which looks great, but the problem is, among all the features, I still don't know what I want to do since since I'm totally new at this and unfamiliar with the terms and lingo. -Lew Schwartz --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/CAFuU78d-O-SNbQRK_-KuEh9P6=ccwkcusfuxfzgh5j6byb2...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
