Ok, so I recorded some from my concert. Problem is, speakers so loud, theres a lot of static and excess distortion in it. Is there a program I can remove it?

Im pretty sure Audacity could help with that: Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/)

It depends on how bad the static is, and how distorted the sound is, but if it's not too bad, Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) might be able to do the work. Here's a video on how to do it (http://www.podtopia.net/gettingstarted/removenoise_video.shtml). There's a lot of talking in the video, she gets to the point around 3:30. Alternatively, just check the static guide (http://www.podtopia.net/gettingstarted/removenoise.shtml).

If the noise is bad, you'd probably need more professional software, and even that's no guarantee for good results.

Edit: This woman's voice is incredibly pleasant to listen to. I'm leaving it playing just because I'm enjoying her voice so much. :greenie:
