How can you turn an effect off that is present in the recording. Has like a flanger type sound?
You can’t fix that kind of problem in post production filtering or effects. You have to record the work clean.
Sometimes Windows will try to help you record. That can sound very odd.

I know my recordings are clean because the DVD we record on is clean, so the sound source is fine. the feeds are isolated from the output of a mixer to the DVD recorder and LT
I have Dell LT that works fine.
The Toshiba LT and a Dell Desk top are terrible.
See the link Koz posted: Why do my recordings fade out or sound as if they were made in a tunnel?

How are you connected?
You need a line-level signal to line-in.
Does “LT” mean laptop? Most laptops don’t have line-in, only have mic-in and headphone-out.
You shouldn’t get a flanger sound into mic-in, but you’ll probably get distortion and you might get mono.
The RCA line-outputs from the mixer (or from the DVD player) into line-in on a desktop/tower soundcard should generally work well.
Sometimes the soundcard has a little background noise on line-in (usually a LOT worse on mic-in). Audacity won’t alter the sound while recording. It just captures the digital audio stream and writes it to a file on your hard drive.
But, Windows (and sometimes the driver) may have some optional “enhancements” that can alter the recording.
