Thanks for your reply Mark, yeah that’s basically it, its sounds hollow rather than the audio coming from a direct source as you would with a shotgun mic.
From your advice I think I’m going to go down the route of Izotope, although being new to the software could you point me in the right direction of which aspect of the software I need to learn to improve my issue?
I’ve sent the card off to my local computer repair place to try data recovery from the card and no joy so looks like isotope is my only option.
Thanks again and in advance for any help you can be with the izotope software.
