When making recorded stories to sell or prerecorded "not live" phone sex calls still billed by the minute, it's important to have a good clean recording. But sometimes your best performances can be ruined by distracting noises in the background -- often noises you weren't aware of before, such as fans, air conditioners, maybe a muffled radio or garbled TV... Now you're left feeling like you have to rerecord the whole thing.
Recreating the mood, the magic of the performance, may be possible; but it's exhausting and not necessarily the best way to spend your time. You could be on the phone, live, with a caller! Or finally getting around to that marketing you've been putting off. But, before you delete that recording and begin again, see if you can clean-up the audio file by removing the background noise.
Here's a video tutorial on how to clean up such background noise. The video is based on using Audacity, a free open source program for recording (and editing) sound. Audacity runs on Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, and other computer operating systems. The official site has a help section; and here's a video tutorial on how to record using Audacity.
