Hey all. just new here, I want to describe my unpleasant situation, I am litteraly forced by a relative of mine for hours to sort out some audio files. I can't explain to him that this is not my area of expertise. at least I finally convinced him to refer to a professional in this field. There is actually a recorded audio, but it's quality is not so good. I wonder where I can find someone to help us in this regard. I don't know if it is possible to share here but I would do it for example if it would really be worth paying for it. Would appreciate any help from you guys. I
 
What kind of issue are you experiencing with the audio quality?
Does it sound echoey? Or is there a hissing noise, like "shhh---"?
Or does it sound like an old radio?
I’m not very familiar with audio restoration myself, but to get proper help from others, you might need to provide a bit more detailed information.
 
I used this tool A LOT for 50 episodes of podcast I edited last year: https://podcast.adobe.com/
Free version gives still a lot to work on. Sometimes it goes crazy, but saved my life multiple times when I got phone recorded audio in a highly resonant well, or at least it sounded like one
 
There are all kinds of “quality not so good” relating to speech comprehension. Some, like muffled sound (e.g. “pillow in the face”) can be helped with proper equalization technics. Others, like excessive background noise or extreme reverberation, can be more problematic.

If you can get us access to a short clip, that would be helpful. Not sure, but it might be possible to attach a .mp3 file here to a post.
