[CM] noise reduction with snd

[kelly george hirai]

csound comes with an outboard de-noiser called denoise. i have used it
with much success to get rid of hiss. check the comand line parms for best
results, the default settings are not very good. kelly

However, my recordings are not always of very good quality and I often have heavy background noise. Since this noise is quite constant and homogenous, I was wondering whether it would be possible to filter it out in order to hear the voices more clearly. I've tried some noise reduction with 'audacity', but the result was not extraordinary. Is it possible to reduce noise in snd ? And if yes, could someone just briefly list the steps I have to follow, or a source of information about this ? I have read through the manual, but since I'm not familiar with the vocabulary of sound engineering this is not always easy.
