Audacity Forum

ok, i've updated. i still have the same general problem, what else can i do?

muting the mp3 (or what i think is an mp3) track and then recording my voice yields the same noise and distortion....

OK, I've gone searching for these "hidden" settings (i.e. clicked and explored every possible icon/tab available, but i've found nothing related to echo cancellation or noise reduction, etc. to answer the other question, i guess maybe i am just assuming it's an mp3 since i used "import an mp3 audio ...

i have tried it with both "microphone" (which produces the distortion) and "line in" (which records nothing.

I have imported an MP3 file into Audacity (plays fine - no problems), but when I try to record my voice over it, the sound becomes all distorted about 20s in. I have tried everything I know to do (including updating my sound card driver), but to no avail. Am I doing something wrong? As far as I know...
