Looking for some advice on trying to rescue some audio.

Looking for some advice on trying to rescue some audio.

Full disclosure: I'm usually an LX/video guy who's wandered into the dark arts of sound while helping out at my daughter's dance and theatre school.

We recently put on our end-of-term showcase. I managed to get the live sound to a point where I was reasonably happy with it, but I completely messed up the audio feed into our ATEM. As a result, most of what was recorded came from the overhead mics rather than the handheld vocal mics.

I'd really like to improve the recording for the performers. They're a talented group who put a huge amount of work into the showcase, so even if I can't make it perfect, I'd love to make it as listenable as possible.

I've got access to:

  • Adobe Audition
  • Adobe Premiere Pro
  • iZotope RX 12 Standard
  • DaVinci Resolve (Free)

I'm realistic enough to know this isn't going to become a studio-quality recording, but I'd really appreciate any advice on where to start. Are there particular filters, effects, or workflows I should be looking at to get the best possible result from what I have?

Here's a sample WAV file:

Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
