    I've never used Audio Recorder Pro but there should be a couple of meters in it that show the volume. If you are peaking out, this will cause what you are getting. There should also be a way to adjust the volume so that you don't peak out. Unfortunately, you are going to have to rerecord the music you have already done to get the best results. When you are done, if you want to raise the volume, you can download this little tool. It will increase the volume & also make all your mp3 files the same volume.

    BTW, You should be going into your computer through th "Line-In" & not the Microphone. I've read elsewhere that the microphone jack is more likely to cause this problem.
