Leveling Out Audio Levels
I’ve been given a cassette tape of two people talking in a kitchen and was asked to clean it up. I’m not an audio expert so I thought I’d ask here. The voice levels are all over the place as the woman telling stories and singing is fixing dinner and is walking around. The man’s voice is strong because he was at the table with the recorder.
Anyway, I’m looking for the best way to even out the voice levels. I’ve cleaned up a lot of the background noise but want to make the woman more intellagable.This project takes on added importance because this tape was made two days before the woman died in a house fire and it’s the only thing the son has left of his mom.
Thanks for any help you can offer, -

You may be able to make a difference by using the hard limit feature, but in cases like this you may have to take the time and adjust volumes one at a time … If you would like me to listen and see if I can come up with the best way you can E-mail me a 2 or 3 min clip at loganonestudio@aol.com …

Willie offers you great advice. All I can offer you is to make a backup of this precious tape. Burn a few CDs and distribute them to different people. No need to compound the tradegy.

The first thing I did was to convert the tape to a wav file and then burn three CDs. I’m sure you can imagine how nervous I was converting the tape!
