The recording is beyond repair. The only really effective "fix" is to re-record it.AKazak wrote:Can you suggest any ideas on improving the quality of the recording please?

Oh. What could cause the distortion?steve wrote:The recording is beyond repair. The only really effective "fix" is to re-record it.AKazak wrote:Can you suggest any ideas on improving the quality of the recording please?
Maybe some good filter can help?

It was made at translator hood using PC+Audacity connected via mini-Jack cable to a mixer.steve wrote:Something is being severely overloaded.AKazak wrote:What could cause the distortion?

Re: Fix coarse/overloaded record
I suspect that the mixer was connected to the "microphone" input on the PC. That won't work properly because a microphone input is expecting a tiny microphone signal, whereas a mixer provides a signal that is about 1000 times bigger than a microphone signal. Thus the microphone input is massively overloaded.AKazak wrote:using PC+Audacity connected via mini-Jack cable to a mixer.
The mixer needs to be connected to a "line level" input.
Many full size PCs have separate "line" and "mic" inputs - use the "line" input.
Many laptop PCs have only a "mic" input, so you need to use an external sound card that has "line" inputs (I use a Behringer UCA 202, which is about $30).

Understood.
Can filtration help as least to enhance the recording a bit?

Unfortunately not.
You can make it sound a bit less harsh by using a low pass filter, but to have a noticeable effect the would will become very muffled.
