I hope some people can help since I am trying to create a special cd for my uncle who likes this kind of music, but most opera singers like these have been recorded long ago. Lastly what else can I do to improve older song like this? I know how to increase the volume but sometimes this ruins the song because certain parts go to high and get distorted. In the entire song you hear static, now how do I remove that? Let me show you what I mean, I would like to improve and old song like this one. The only static I can remove is when people are not singing or no music is playing. When I use the 'Noise Removal' is only lowers the volume of the entire track, it doesn't remove the static.

Also, this is always a part where people are not singing or talking, but how do you remove static when it's trough the entire song?

However I have been looking online, like on Youtube for help and the only thing I find is how to remove static from your own recordings, not songs. The biggest problem is static in these old songs, since the recordings are not in a good shape. I am not sure if this can be done with Audacity that's why I am making this topic. I wanted to ask for help regarding improving or even remastering old songs.
