TLDR: I need to make camera mic audio sound like audio that was recorded through a microphone, into an audio board, then routed into a recording device (Pearl Mini).

(Hospitality, btw)
I had a show last week where we were recording every session in multiple rooms. In one of the rooms, on the last day for that room, the technician that I hired to tech that room somehow turned the only mic that was being used all the way down on the mix that was being sent to the recording device (Pearl Mini). This tech also somehow failed to confirm that the board audio was being sent to the camera, so the only audio we have from this session is the camera’s mic audio, which sounds terrible, especially when you listen side by side to what the audio SHOULD have sounded like.

Now, this tech did notice halfway through the 30 minute session and turned the audio up on the mix being sent to the Pearl Mini, so we at least have that. My question to all of you is: is there a program I could put both these audios in, have it listen, and make the terrible audio sound closer to the good audio? I’ve already tried tweaking this audio myself, and nothing I do can make it acceptable to pass onto the client. At this point, as much as I hate to admit it, I’m even willing to consider AI. I just don’t know what my options are, as I’ve never had to deal with something like this before.

I told the client I’d have their recordings to them by Friday, so I’ve still got some time to figure this out.

Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

No, it’s not because it’s “ugly” or because it’s “not actually an STI”, thus making you a poser.

No, I tell you not to get the wing for a more serious reason- birds. Yes, that’s right, birds.

I don’t know what it is about this car/wing, but birds LOVE it. It’s like a magnet for birds. No, I’m not joking. Yes, I’m dead serious.

If you’re lucky enough that they don’t end up scratching your wing with their claws, you won’t be lucky enough when wondering whether or not they pooped on your car, because they definitely did.

“How do you know it’s the wing?” you may ask. Well, I never had this problem before, and I’ve caught birds chilling on my wing on several occasions since installing it, and that’s just the ones I saw. At first you may think “man, that’s pretty cool” but not when you get closer and realize that they weren’t just hanging out- they were using your wing as a toilet seat.

That’s when you see it- your wing, your trunk, your bumper all just covered in…. poop. Don’t even bother washing your car afterwards, they can sense it, and they will be back to stake their territory with their excrements once more.

You have been warned…
