cleaning up pops in audio

[dakels]

I'm trying to clean up a file of a prerecorded speech. The recording was done on a bad mic (with no pop filter) that has really bad breath pops, letter P, T, B. P is the worst.

I'm trying to figure out if audacity has a decent filter to handle this. I want to compress the audio waves as the peaks where the P sounds is very obvious and soften it down. I should clarify: A noise, click and pop, normalize, did not help. I may need to go through it manually and select each area with a hard sound and soften it with a high pass filter. Thats going to be very time consuming.

Thanks

run the levelator on it, that should help some, should fix all or most issues with the audio being too loud or too quiet, and then go from there and decide if you *really* need to bother editing anything else

indeed, manually cleaning up a long audio clip can potentially take awhile.

Thanks nova2. Interesting software. Pretty good actually,much better then any plug-ins I tried, but doesn't quite solve the issue for me. It's lack of control is annoying though even if the output isn't too bad.
