Thank you , lot of diamonds in that site.
I hope I'll be able to use them correctly.

About wind filters. When recording even the lightest breeze generates a low frequency fluttering sound that generally drowns anything else, like a voice over. Generally, in camera or in audacity, wind filters don't work: or better put, have no noticeable improvement in result, and often a severe degrading effect. In VS audio filters or in audacity, you can try combinations of high pass and noise or other things, but they all take signal out and the result is generally unusable. So, some suggestions.
1. Prior to recording. Put a popping filter on your camera to prevent the noise in the first place. The idea behind this is to ensure that the air immediately around the mic is still, apart from the spoken words you want to record. This will probably mean modifying the camcorder around the microphones using the sort of expanded foam material used for dust filters in air conditioners or vacuum cleaners. And the challenge is to do it in such a way that that it can always be fitted, rather than having to fumble with bits n pieces just when you want to record. Here's 2 images of how I did it, using velcro to keep it attached to the camcorder:

This worked spectacularly well, exceeded my expectations: on test in a light breeze around trees; wind noise gone, rustle of tree branches in wind now clear (this latter bit I had not anticipated, but was glad I got it).

2. After recording. If you've already got recorded clips with wind noise, the best suggestion is to 'dub' it out at the parts where you want a voiceover to be clear.
- re-record your spoken part, repeated exactly, using the capture audio feature in VS.
- align it with the noisy clip, to be exactly in the place where the voiceover is
- select the wind noise clip and choose the sound mixer in the timeline tool bar. Note the audio volume level in that clip (yellow line) and insert 4 markers in it, 2 before your re-recorded audio clip and 2 after, each pair about 0.5sec apart. Adjust the markers nearest the recorded clip down (click and drag, carefully) to reduce the volume of the main clip, to say -6.9db. [Ken Berry calls this "rubber banding"] That level should provide you with discernable background which adds context to the clip without drowning the re-recording. (If the drowning is still there, increase the audio reduction to say -16, or even -25. making it zero is a level of -36). Using the markers nearest the re-recorded clip provides a ramp effect to smoothly reduce volume before voiceover, and smoothly raise it after voiceover.

3. If you have noise affected clips - not wind, but loud bursty background noise like a rail station - that drowns a voiceover, technique at 2 also works.

I use a furry windscreen on my harma RMZ-14 microphone, always worked perfectly (provided you remember to turn the microphone on)

Audacity is very alive at version 2.3.0
**But I'll also recommend http://www.ocenaudio.com/ as portable
