Thanks, Sam. Here's the link to the .aiff upload:

I can send an .omf if this doesn't work. Pat DeFilippo asked the same question and used the Compressor/Limiter Audio Filter to take the edge off, but her audio may not have been as generally noisy as mine. She would also be interested in what you find.

Looking forward.

That is a difficult issue these days with cell phones being so prevalent. If you have a specific audio sample I would be glad to create a tutorial showing you the best options... which are limited.

Thank you, Sam. This is exactly what I was looking for. One "noise" that I am having trouble with is the cellphone signal reception noise that lives in the same bandwidth as the female voice. Any tips on that?
