This problem is driving me to the point of smashing up my computer.
I am trying to record from the Djay app on iPad to my PC via a Pioneer mixer.
The problem I have is the recording picks up every noise in the room I.e. My voice / general noises.
How do I eliminate these noises so the only media recorded is the music. Is this possible?
I’d be grateful on how I should be setting up with cables/ settings on Audacity. Do I need to do anything with the PC settings on Realtek/ audio devices?

Get somebody to make a video when you do that. Can’t have too many purple rage, smashing-up videos.
Which mixer? Model number? Is it connected with USB? Are you plugging it into the Mic-In of your laptop?
It’s a terrifically good chance you’re recording the laptop built-in microphone rather than the mixer connection. That will record the metrobus outside and the dog barking.
Where we go from here depends on the answer to those questions.
Twin phono cable to single jack. Jack connects to splitter which is connected to speaker. The other jack on splitter I have a male to male cable connecting to my PC.
I have 2 options on my PC, headphone or microphone.
It seems for any sound to record I have to connect to microphone.
Whatever I do with audacity is replicated with the inbuilt PC sound recorder used in conjunction with the Realtek software.
If that leaves you with no recording devices, see if you can enable the external microphone. To do that, right-click anywhere inside the Recording tab of Windows Sound and choose “Show disabled devices” then right-click again and check “Show Disconnected Devices”.
