A voice recording is going to take up most if not all the frequencies between 20 and 20,000 although you could absolutely reduce the range to telephone frequencies 300-3000 if you didn't care about the quality. In the wide band version, you would create a "sound" channel with 20,000 to 40,...

It's "fake scrubbing."

You can't plug a guitar pickup into a microphone amplifier or a microphone connection. Guitar signals are nuclear loud compared to a tiny delicate microphone signal and can easily create damage. If you're plugged into the Mic-In of Windows Laptop (you didn't say) then you also need to turn off the c...

<<<somebody tried to record a rock concert from the audience. >>> That's not to say you couldn't force this to work somehow. You would have to wrap the camcorder in acoustically neutral foam material. High sound fields move the whole recorder, not just the microphone. I think Electro-Voice made foam...

And do remember that the microphone connection on a laptop is mono. The presentation in Audacity might be two channels, left and right, but if you look at the bouncing light sound meter, they will track perfectly -- it's one sound, usually left, that's being recorded to both Audacity tracks. If you ...

OK, that's a third variation. The MP3 music on your Data CD played on the CD/MP3 player in the car. You still haven't created a high quality (non MP3) Music CD. Somewhere in the burning dialog it should have asked you whether you wanted a Data CD or a Music CD. Both of them use CD-R disks. A Music C...

Windows laptop? You can't use the Microphone Input on the laptop for this job and many Windows laptops don't have any other connection. The microphone connection of the laptop is mono, not stereo, and is very, very sensitive so it can amplify tiny microphone signals. You are applying a stereo signal...

<<<significant hiss in a voice-over recording.>>> The tools are designed to suppress "background" noises like minor air conditioning noise or microphone hum. By the time you get to "significant" problems, you lose the ability to separate the trash from the show -- especially with...
