I have an mp3 file which was recorded on mp3 player via a line in. Unfortunately the input volume must have been set too high and so my audio sounds all 'overloaded'. How would I go about fixing this using audacity? Is there any way I can reduce the frequency curves while keeping the sound clean? Sorry I know nowt about sound editing.
Audacity - how do I fix this

Dont think its possible, if you have a bad quality recording, say 96kbps, you cant make it 320kbps. You could try and normalise it to reduce the amplitute, but this will just make it quieter. When you turn it up, its still going to be crappy quality

Sadly you canny fix this type of problem
When the input level is too high you will end up going outside the "range" of your audio sampler and it will clip the top and bottom of the waveform
Example if you had a simple sine wave input and input level was too high
it would turn the upper and lower peaks into a flat almost square wave

No , its best to play some of the track , monitor the peak meter and then
adjust the levels until its right , try to fast forward to the loudest part of the track
If you have too low a signal you will loose definition
