no other program will help u
the reason it sounds distorted in audacity is the same reason it will sound distorted in any other program
don't mean to sound rude but learn to record properly
1 sort ur levels out on ur mixer, if ur in the red - ur doing it wrong
2 sort ur levels out in audacity see pic
too much, can u see how some/most of the waveform doesn't fit within the window, thats why it sounds shit
this is much better
hope that helps
