I'm a novice, and I'm not very knowledgable of the terminology used with Audacity, but I've been using it for a few months to record cassette to digital. Most of the recordings are voice only.
One of the recent recordings I made sounds like the speaker (the person talking) has an echo. This seems to present on the audio cassette itself. It's not happening during recording I don't think. I'm wondering if there's a way to clean this up after recording in Audacity...i.e. remove this echoey sound. There is not a lot of delay between the main sound and the echoed sound. It sounds very 'digital' or like there is some feedback somewhere. Sorry, I don't know a better way to describe it. I hope someone with some expertise can help me out with this.
I'm using Audacity 1.3.12 (beta) on Win XP, but I have the previous version as well.
Here are two samples of the material I've recorded.

Re: reduce or remove 'echo'
The echo seems to be in both channels, so it isn't a case that the channels are desycnhronised. Are you sure you have got all effects turned off in your sound card control panel?
