I have two short recordings that mean a lot to me, but right now the voices—both male and female—sound distant and muddy. Online “one-click” cleanup tools didn’t get them anywhere near the clarity I’m after, so I need a skilled audio engineer who can treat these files with real care. Here’s what I’m facing: background hiss, a touch of rumble, and the general lack of definition that comes from a phone mic in a noisy room. I’d like every spoken word to feel as if the people are in the same room with us, warm and intelligible, without introducing metallic artifacts or that “underwater” sound cheap filters create. You’re free to use your preferred toolset—iZotope RX, Adobe Audition, Reaper with surgical EQ, spectral denoise, de-reverb, whatever gives the best result—as long as the final sound is clearly better than any automatic service. Deliverables • Cleaned, leveled masters of both files in WAV and 320 kbps MP3 • A short note on the processing chain or key steps you took (so I understand how you worked your magic) • Turnaround within a few days, with one quick revision round included if needed Acceptance criteria The dialogue must be easily understood on standard phone earbuds at half volume, free from obvious noise, pumping, or digital artifacts. If this sounds straightforward for you, let’s get these memories sounding great.

What actually went wrong with the one-click tools you already tried, did the voices come out sounding hollow or metallic, or did the noise just refuse to leave without dragging clarity down with it? That tells me exactly which artifact to avoid reintroducing. Automatic denoisers almost always trade one problem for another, the hiss disappears but so does natural warmth, leaving that underwater or robotic quality you are trying to avoid. Real cleanup means treating noise and voice separately rather than blanket-processing the whole file. I would run spectral de-noise and de-reverb carefully, pulled back exactly enough to remove hiss and rumble without eating into vocal warmth, then surgical EQ tuned per speaker since a male and female voice sit in different frequency ranges and need separate attention, not a shared preset. Levels balanced so both voices sit clearly and consistently against each other. Delivered as cleaned, leveled masters in WAV and 320kbps MP3, with a short note explaining the processing chain so you understand what was actually done. Turnaround within your few-days window, one revision round included if the first pass needs fine-tuning.

I can complete the work within a few days and ensure the dialogue remains clear and intelligible on standard phone earbuds.

Hi! I’m an audio engineer with experience in vocal restoration, noise reduction and dialogue cleanup. I can carefully improve both recordings by reducing hiss and low-frequency rumble, restoring clarity and presence, and keeping the voices warm and natural without introducing metallic or over-processed artifacts. I’d approach this manually rather than relying on one-click cleanup — using spectral noise reduction, corrective EQ, level balancing and restoration processing only where needed. I can deliver: • cleaned WAV masters • 320 kbps MP3 versions • one revision round • a short note explaining the processing approach I can also provide a short cleaned preview first if you’d like to hear the difference before moving forward.
