  • Need advice on fixing awful interview audio with iZotope RX 6

    Posted by Erik Rosenbluh on May 8, 2017 at 3:58 pm

    I was given an interview that was recorded, to put it mildly, gawdawful. I was wondering if there was a way to make it audible? I played with iZotope RX 6 a little, but I’m no sound mixer. I’m hoping someone has some suggestions, or can at least tell me it’s a lost cause.

    My attempt at cleaning it up:

    Thanks in advance.

    ill try it if you post a download link. i’d first do a de-clip, de-reverb, then a de-noise, in that order. then I’d use leveler freqs. or I’d try noise reduction in audition with learn sound model.

    then enhance vocal range raising 95hz 2.5 dB Q 2 width, and 972 hz 4.5dB Q2 and 1306 Hz 4 dB 2Q
    then multiband compressor
    finally
    match loudness ITU-R BS.1770-3 -24lufs for correct audio levels

    Which setting would I use to enhance the vocal range raising 95hz 2.5 dB Q 2 width etc?

    But if you’d like to give it the old college try, here’s a link to an AIFF output.

    Thanks,
