I have an audience master tape (not GD) that I ripped into wav format
and I'm trying to edit. Quality is high so little editing is required.
However, it's a realtively quiet acoustic show and there are places
where the audience noise (cheering, laughing, etc) are much too loud.

I've been trying to even this out using expanders and compressors in
Cool Edit 2000 but I have been dissatisfied with the results - mostly
end up with a muffled sound to the entire track or an over obvious
transition if I modify just the loud section.

I would appreciate any advice on best approaches. I also have Gold Wave
but I usually stick with Cool Edit because it is less complicated (to
me). My preference is to take the entire track (side of tape) and even
it out in one sweep, then break out the individual tracks, but I'm not
married to that.

Thanks in advance.

I can't give you any particulars, but you might want to try "gating" if your
software allows (or can handle an add-in, which I think it can). Gating
could be set to supress volumn during theclapping at least, which might help
provide for higher overall levels for the singing/playing.

I will always 'aim' to get your blindfold fitted properly.
