• How can I reduce noise when I use microphones?
  
  Make sure you turn off or disconnect inputs (such as the line input) to the soundcard/computer that are not being used, which may add extra noise.
  Also make sure that the recording level as set in the soundcard's control panel or in the Windows Sounds control panel is the highest possible without incuring in clipping distortion (which will appear in n-Track as big red flashing signs on top of the recording level meters).
  
  If the recording quality is still not good, the culprit is most likely the computer soundcard/audio interface. Soundcards that come preinstalled on desktop and laptop computers have usually relatively poor recording quality. You may want to install a soundcard specifically designed for audio recording. You can find a short list of recommeded soundcards here.
