Rookie mistake
Hello all,
I really hope you can help me trouble shoot a current issue. I made a major rookie mistake. I recorded the camera mic instead of my lav by mistake on an interview. Is there an audio plugin that will help me out? I’ve tried EQs, more than I can think of.
Thanks everyone for your guidance.

Try Adobe’s new “Enhance Speech” tool. https://podcast.adobe.com/enhance

If you didn’t – always wear headphones to monitor your audio before recording. Tap on the microphone to make sure you’re monitoring the correct mic. Then set levels having your subject talk. You might ask to re-do this part of the video. OR – if the “Enhance Speech” tool Tod suggested did not work, open the sound track in Audition and use the denoiser to get rid of room noise. Then start tuning with filters to focus on the mid range so you can increase the volume. There are also tools – either in Audition or a separate software called Audacity (I forget which) that can remove echo if you have hollowness in the room. But definitely try Tod’s suggestion first! Hope all this helps.

This saved my career. Thank you so much for sharing it. Unbelievable.

It is pretty amazing. I first tested it on a poorly recorded track I’d already worked on for about two hours, including denoise filters. I gave it the original and the result was exactly as advertised, like a clean, studio recording. It does have limits. I gave it a degraded archival recording a few days ago and the result was horrific. Far worse than the original.

I see that it’s in beta, do you know any other details about this? I would pay for it for sure!

Thank you Tod Hopkins and Dennis Dean!

iZotope RX 10 Advanced is the ultimate tool for cleaning up audio and isolating speech, but it comes at a price of $800. DaVinci Resolve’s built-in Fairlight is also a comprehensive DAW with many of the same plug‑ins for cleaning up and repairing sound.
