Sound Quality Issues- HELP

Hi-

I’ve played around with this so much and I need help. I’m recording dj mixes and when I record the quality is poor. The bass is like flexing or kind of goes silent in parts. It is not clipping I don’t think. I’ve trouble shot with different recording system. Is this a computer issue? I have a brand new HP Pavilion 23 with microsoft 8. My wire goes from microphone to mixer (red/white wire). Pleas help

You may be suffering from two problems.

Many laptop Mic-In connections won’t handle stereo Line-Out well as from a mixer.

The other one is Windows Advanced services which tries to make your voice compatible with conferencing and communications. It hates music.
