Michael Miramontes Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Hello everyone, I have a very short audio clip from my wedding that sounds like garbage. It was recorded back in 2005 on a non HD camera with who knows what kind of mic. I'm putting a video together for my wife's bday tomorrow and was hoping someone can help me fix the audio. The audio is from the onboard mic that the video guy recorded. It's at my reception so the DJ's announcement was too loud for his cheapo mic to handle, so the audio clips. Is this something that can be salvaged? The audio clip is 20 seconds long. Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Reineke Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 This is primarily a professorial production sound (acquisition) discussion group, many of us do not deal with post-production issues. Try the DVUser forum which is more of a semi-pro group and deals with a broader aspect of sound-for-picture. In either case. you could post the audio for download on WeTransfer, Dropbox, Google or other cloud drive. Someone may have some time and tools to do something with it.

borjam Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 What is the "garbage" problem, exactly? Distortion? Low signal to noise ratio? Maybe someone can give an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Miramontes Posted May 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Hey Fellas, Thanks for all the replies. I had a feeling when I posted someone would tell me to go elsewhere. I was almost hoping it would be Senator. LOL...but I've not been here it quite some time so I understand and no biggie. The audio was clipping quite a bit. I was able to clean it up a little bit via Adobe Audition but I figured someone in post would be able to do this with their eyes closed. I would have paid too. But, the party came and went and it was all nice either way. Ultimately I've moved on from sound as my Real Estate/Lending business took off. I miss the gatherings, friendships, and camaraderie that resulted from being on this site. I guess maybe I can still stay relevant and post and help some of the newer folks out from time to time.

borjam Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Years ago I was able to clean quite a bit of clipping for a Fender Rhodes piano. Yes, it's a particularly easy target for that treatment. I used a multi band compressor for it, exactly WaveArts MultiDynamics. Also Izotope RX might help. https://www.izotope.com/en/products/rx.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
