I'm at a loss as to what filter/tool I might be able to use to
reduce the severity of this... any clues?
First, you could compress the vocal to even out the levels - I
use the LADSPA Dyson Compress or SC4 plugins for this.
You'll still have the distortion from the pops though. I suggest
you make it a feature, by adding some artifical effects -
distorted vocals are all the rage!
There is noise reduction in audacity... really short delays will
work as well. If you can manage to catch it somewhere between
feedback and echo... you may not be able to even hear the delay
afterwards. Reverb takes it out sometimes too. ...Low pass
filters, EQ, etc.
Is there any way to pluck out declickers and depops from ReZound and
GNOME Wave Cleaner to LADSPA and make a Sound Restoration Farm? :-)
