Peter,

Some brief answers. I meant that the mid range noise *could* sound
environmental, so is more acceptable in a recording. It was probably a
bit of both, but whatever, removing it would introduce artifacts which
are worse.

The cushion recording was fine and told me what I wanted to know about
the HF hiss.

If you or anyone else is interested in editing <EQcurves>, mine are on

but take a backup first.

I don't expect software writers to have a perfect grasp of English.
:-) The Power Spectrum [Analyze - Plot Spectrum] is a spectrum, the
one in the waveform selection is actually a spectograam aka audiogram
aka sonogram.

A Hanning window just rounds off the the sample values and is the
usual one.

Size is the sample size for each plot. A high value gives better
frequency detail but on the audiogram it is slower and gives a lot of
horizontal spread.

Axis is the frequency scale linear or log.

BTW I find the arrow down Waveform (dB) plot more useful as you can
see what levels you have better.
