I use a Behringer UCA-202. It's line level only (but that's what you want) and the noise level with no input signal is around -90dB which is as good as you get with a 16bit sound card.

Checked out those clips and agree with Bill, the samples are white noise. The peak on the left of the left side of the spectrum is due to a bit of DC offset. The noise level of the first sample posted is below -60dB which on an MP3 should be hardly noticeable. I suspect that the "feedback noise...

I didnt see a job board here? Because there isn't one. ;) who can apply some polish to some MP3 business interviews. Sound engineers do not like to work on MP3 files because the MP3 encoding reduces the sound quality of the recording. Encoding to MP3 should be the last step in the production. The u...

The amount of free disk space should relate to the amount of free disk space on the disk that you are recording to, and the "Quality" settings that you are using. If you are recording in stereo at 44100Hz 16 bit, a 1 hour recording will use about 600MB. Recording 1 hour at 48000Hz 32bit st...

You would then open the video in a video editor and import the edited audio file. If the only editing of the audio that you want to do is to adjust the volume, most...

The recording level sliders in Audacity only work IF (big "if") the sound card drivers support it. For sound card drivers that do not respond to Audacity you need to adjust the levels using the sound cards own interface - you can access that through the Windows Control Panel (look in "...

Audacity does not record MIDI. It is an AUDIO recorder. MIDI and audio are not the same thing.
