Loud Thunder Sound Periodically When Recording

Post by nancyd1123 » Mon Nov 16, 2009 3:39 am

Hi everyone. Suddenly, after using Audacity wonderful for a year, while recording my voice into a headphone/mic combination, during about every 8-10 minutes of recording time, I get an almost ear shattering thunder sound for about 2 seconds or so and then everything is back to normal. The recording, itself then has that same thunder sound on it. It's driving me crazy!!!! I really need your help!!!! What should I do about this?????? Thanks so much in advance!!!! It's totally important to me!!!!

Are you filling up your hard drive?

Every 8 to 10 minutes, let's assume an hour show and you've been doing this for a year, let's assume once a week. That's....put down three.....carry the two....about 36 to 40 GB of work. How big is your hard drive?

If it's a 40GB hard drive, you got big trouble.

Is it a USB mic/headphone?
