Mic On Monitor Problem

Post by tomsaud » Thu May 27, 2010 9:52 pm

Hello: I have this one classical music song that I use to relax, I recorded the quietest parts of it, so it would be smooth al the way thru

Anyway I managed to record almost 30 minutes of it and I am using the Repeat button on Windows Media Player 11 to record from (so it would record the full 60 minutes, and what I want to do is recorded it using audacity and make it an hour long so I can put it on a cd and use it near the bed.

The only problem I have is I have a built in mic on top of the monitor and it picks up me talking while audacity is recording.

There is a check mark in the box for Mute Mic, but it does not make a difference
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can stop the monitor from picking up the outside sounds and still have the sound go into audaciy? Thanks

Is that an audio file on your computer such as a WAV file, an MP3 or a WMA file? If it is, what sort of file is it? (right click on the file, select "Properties" and look at the "Advanced" properties).

If it's not an audio file, what is it?
