[Rwp] Help with noise removal

[Alan]

Hi there:
In my opinion, perhaps you are not using the most useful tool for your needs. It is not related to your experience or skill level at all, but editing audio in reaper is like cooking a burger using a laser gun. it is doable, but, well, if audacity seems hard to handle for you, definitely reaper will be almost the same. Reaper"s philosofy is oriented for music production, I recomend you to take another look at audacity (it is a great software and prety accessible), goldwave, or soundforge, if you want to simply edit audio.
Talking about noise reduction, I never had success doing it in reaper, someone else could help you if possible; anyways, it is prety doable and easy in audacity, much easier, I am sure.

Hope this helps!

I've been reading lots, and while there's plenty of information out there, it seems to be presented across several different sources and makes getting up and running challenging. So apologies if there are basic answers to my questions which I just haven't found.

I set the loop start/end points, enabled repeat, ensured that the track contains only noise. Then I followed these instructions right up to the point where I'm told to close the effects window, which I can't seem to do. What I do is enable the Create Noise Profile checkbox and play my noise, but nothing I do ever gets it removed.

Instead, I hear my noisy loop repeated again and again. Additionally, the Osara commands shift/control-shift-p claim there are no effects on the selected tracks. This leads me to believe that I'm just editing effect parameters, and there's some enable/persist step obvious in the UI but not apparent to accessibility. I think there's a bit in the performance settings dialog where it shows effect performance, but I never see the values climb above 0.
