As I mentioned above, unless they have made sudden huge leaps in quality of

their noise reduction process it isn't really a good quality tool.  I know

from conversations with Ricardus some of his uses and they are similar to

what I have done in the past as well, for example restoring old analog

recordings, etc.  Where depending on the source material you have to have a

pretty dang minimal artifact experience(Recordings of high dynamic range

classical music for example), and also depending on the source material the

exact needs may change over time, requiring automation to use effectively.

Neither of these applied in my experience with Audacity's tool.
