  • cleaning up audio distortion

    Posted by David Scherzer on January 28, 2009 at 5:31 pm

    Hey all,

    Quick question. On one of my interviews, the wireless went out of whack and shot the levels too high.

    So not sure on which audio filer at which setting i should use to reduce the distortion. It’s not terrible as is..but noticeably not as clean as the other sound i got that day.

    Thanks in advance…

    You may be best sending it to SoundTrack Pro. They have a bunch of analyzing methods that can take out pops and cracks, and may be able to smooth it out some. But the sad truth is that beyond manually redrawing the wave forms, there isn’t really much you can do when audio is clipping, because the levels were too high. There’s a lot of info that just got cut off at the top, because there was nowhere else to go.
    Hopefully someone else will have more detailed/helpful advice.
