(hope you were not conversing at the same time as others in the background) - Maybe ecasound allows to assign on/off location markers during recording. I never checked. If you speak at the same time with others it's gets tricky. If the voices have a different pitch (fi. your "old sound" being an allusion to baby-crying in the background) you can reduce the presence of a particular voice with EQing + compression. I don't think there is software out there to automate the task. - audacity might come in handy. if you want to get into cli denoising based on a audio-sample: try http://www.saunalahti.fi/%7Emjkoskin/anoi-0.3.tar.gz robin
