Hello,
I desperately need a noise gate, or something else to remove breathing sounds.
Could anyone help me find one?
I am recording using Audacity 1.2.3 from a rather simple microphone, and
breathing sounds are clearly heard when the speaker inhales air; from the
look of the graph, it seems that a simple noise gate would remove them. But I
could not find a noise gate in Audacity 1.2.3...
Is there any program, including a plugin for or later version of Audacity,
taht would do noise gating?
Or perhaps there is a better way to remove the sounds? (There is a Noise
Removal plugin, but might it not affect the voice itself?)

There is a ladspa plugin called: "Gate" by Steve Harris. It's available
in the swh-plugins package. But ..

.. setting up a gate in audacity is painstaking as you can't do it in
realtime. You need to try some parameters, listen to what happened, undo
and reiterate until you found the right parameters. I suggest using
Ardour for this task.
If you really want to use audacity, you can also do this with jack-rack
and a jackified wave editor like mhwaveedit or rezound. Also, some
versions of audacity are jack aware, but you still need to run the
effect outside of audacity because the lack of non-realtime effects.

Noise removal is a totally different beast. What you want is a gate.
When gating the signal though, i suggest that after finding the right
parameters for the gate to work correctly, try making the gate a "soft"
gate via the "Range" parameter. Breathing noise might be irritating at a
level, but vocals without breathing might sound unnatural.

OK, that would be fine. Is there a HOWTO on installing LADSPA plugins for use
with Audacity available somewhere?
No problem. In fact I prefer the Audacity way of doing it. We're doing a voice
recording, not a concert, so having many tries is good.

Definitely don't want to go there. Jack setup is a major hassle; with no
realtime need, I don't see why it would be worth the time.

Agreed. Audacity giver many tries so it's easy.

I think you only need to install the plugins, and audacity finds them
automatically, as long as they are in /usr/local/lib/ladspa
or /usr/lib/ladspa
Byez!

Another way to do it would be to select the part of the waveform that is
breath noise and then from the Generate menu select "Silence" and that
part of the waveform will be removed. Zooming in would help you select
the breath noise more accurately to ensure that you didn't remove any of
the speech.

You could also ask the singer to move back a bit, i.e. don't eat the mic.
A popscreen might help too.
