garbled export file from mic recording
I am using a microphone that attaches to a phone with a suction cup. I make the recording, then export to either WAV or FLAC. It's always very garbled as if someone went in and chopped it all up and put it back together in tiny pieces. Speech is unintelligible. I have Audacity set to 4100. I'm no techy and need help. Thanks.
