Hi Saul, What you're describing sounds like a sampling incompatibility. I use goldwave, and it has settings in Control Properties, Device, labeled Playback Quality. I have Audacity but haven't used it yet, but I'd go to the Edit menu, Preferences, and Quality. I'd try setting it at a sampling

I agree that it sounds like the settings are off. The result you describe can happen in any of several recording applications when this occurs. You ought to be able to work OK with a sampling rate of 32000. I've used lower values than that without problems. Russ Edmunds 15 mi NW Phila Grid FN20id

I think the station will be off the air for awhile after it's transmitter site was burnt to a blackened crisp... http://www.wdam.com/story/30768510/1400-am-fox-sports-radio-channel-offline-because-of-fire This was just the transmitter site for the IHeart(Clear Channel) station, no studios there.

Look for both a difference in sample rate as well as the bit rate. I do some editing on files using 44.1 KHz, while others use 48 KHz. A difference in bit rate (as someone else mentioned earlier) could also make a difference. The difference would be even more pronounced if sample rate is also

There are anti-Malware products for MAC -- but they are largely not needed... And the product "MacKeeper" is, within itself, Malware - and in my professional opinion... rubbish. My earlier point was: Record some audio with as few APPs running in the background. Perhaps the creator of this

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. I have incorporated some, and am working this through. I think for whatever reason it is affecting FM recordings, and not AM, or at least not noticeably, and I think I noticed something that may have been going on longer, and that I noticed it because of

Saul, I did try for this after you first reported it to the BCB log on dxworld.com a couple weeks ago, but couldn't reel it in. At night here, if WOAI isn't ruling the frequency, it's usually KFNW in West Fargo, ND. So far, KFNW has also gotten in the way of me getting much-needed KYOO in
