Hi i just got Cakewalk SONAR X1 LE, when i record vocals how do i get rid of that pesky interference sound in the background? Thanks, Tom

You may need to try recording in a more quiet environment. Microphones will pick up anything and everything... even things you might not hear yourself while recording.

Or if you're talking about a bad signal, you need to be sure you have a good audio interface that provides good (as in quiet) microphone preamps and you need to be connecting your mic to your audio interface with a good, balanced XLR mic cable to get a clean signal. 

A good book reference for recording with micrphones is:

I would get an audio interface and a decent condenser mic. It sounds to me as if your using the onboard sound chip and they are not made for this. to get crisp clean vocals, you need a decent sound card and a decent mic

Alright! Thanks for the help!
