Hello Michael,

MSVC shouldn't be tricky if you use cmake (but adding 3rd party libs is tricky).  With cygwin, 3rd party libs are easier.  The provided instructions for both should work; if not, please let us know.

Although I looked at it a while ago, I've forgotten the details now so it's probably best if you dive in and look at the code.  The code was a direct port from Audacity at one time, but Audacity has since moved on.  I also know that there are much better noise-red algorithms around; many papers on the subject can be found if you search the net.

Cheers,
Rob.
