<<I've tried that and it's not as adjustable as doing it afterwards. I
prefer an after-mix with or without equalisation as this can cover up
the transition level between the reduced noise and the foreground
signal. I've also tried playing with the width of the stereo
background before the mix. I also use the spectrogram on Audacity to
see what's there.>>

And every noise reduction app takes a slightly different approach to
user control as well. Sounds like you're getting the same effect in
noise reduction as the use of "parallel compression" acheives in
subtle dynamics control.
