Thanks, Terry.
I will definitely look it up again. I glanced a bit on a demo
version a while back, but didn't notice any sampled noise reduction.
Perhaps it's only in newer versions of the software package? If it
works well, that feature alone might be worth the entire $300,
although the microphones one might get for $300 may make me want to
reconsider...
In any case, I will be getting a lower-noise microphone. Noise
reduction will probably work better on the flute tracks than on
ambient sound recordings, so for the latter, I will definitely need
lower noise to start with.
