Audio overlapped - un-overlap?

[gilbare]

Seem to have a weird problem here. I record audio that is fed from the line in (mixer from student radio broadcast) into the pc, which is then compressed to mp3 format. This is usually fine, and recordings are perfectly adequate, but on a recording made this morning it seems to have garbled the track, and it sounds to me like it has overlapped itself. Tricky one to describe so heres the audio in question.

Any ideas if Audacity is able to fix this? I doubt it seeing as it's a compressed mono recording but thought I'd ask.

I'm not able to listen right now, but when you watch the timeline, do you have two sets of blue waves instead of only one? If you stop recording by accident and start up again, you will get two separate tracks and they will both try to play at once.

You can export each one of those separately and get your original shows back.

Another possibility is trying to record Stereo Mix instead of a microphone or other "real" connection. You could easily get the show twice, once direct and once "one computer late" which might sound like two shows.

I'm in an insanely noisey room so I can't listen to the sample.
