Audacity picks up people talking

Post by ocomobock » Tue Jan 17, 2012 5:11 pm

I can't make out what they're saying at all. I have no idea how to fix it, and I have no idea why it's happening. You can download an mp3 file here to listen to something I made.

Can someone tell me how to fix this? Thanks

I have no idea why it's happening.
I do. You're trying to record work on an unshielded computer next to a powerful radio station. Look around you for very tall red and white towers -- any number from one to six.

The solution is to get better capture equipment, shield what you have, or move.
