I have a very annoying buzz that I can't seem to eliminate or reduce. I have attached it. Please listen and give me your opinion. I am using a headset plugged into a pc.
Thanks.

Re: Need help with buzz
Describe the headset in detail. Model numbers, makers, connection type.
It's one of these, right? Analog headset?

Most of the buzz is power related. You're in the US? There is a big 60Hz (barely audible) and then every multiple and harmonic up. There is a big one at 420. 440 is the oboe A at the beginning of the orchestra.
That's why you can't get rid of it without trashing the show. No, It's totally not supposed to do that.
When you do post a sample like that, also include a normal volume voice or sound sample. You can post 10 seconds of mono on the forum. You can make any microphone sound like garbage if you turn it up enough.
