It's similar to 1KHz + harmonics interference , however your fundamental frequency is 890Hz, rather than 1000Hz.

That's discouraging. That means every filter is a custom, one-off job. Koz

Your own Audio CDs. CDs can also be little hard drives, Data CDs. In that case, anything wrong with the sound before will also be wrong with it after.

These systems assume the power in the USB cable, the 5 volts, is pure, clean and well-behaved. It's never pure, lean and well-behaved. It's always got some trash running around on it.

Record some fan noise and open it below a voice recording you already made (again, Audacity doesn't do anything live). Select the whole track by clicking jus...

You're right, there's not much that can be done with this. however, going forward I think we can help. How are you recording the Skype? Just having the far side much lower volume than the near usually means you're not using Skype-compatible capture software. You can dig yourself a hole very rapidly ...
