Bad Noise from poor mic settings

Hi there,

I just recorded some footage from an event, but unfortunately the Audio is terrible. I used an external mic on my dslr, but the gain I believe was too high so now the clip is useless. I would like to know if this is even fixable.

Please find the file here.

If you can point me to some tutorials/resources to fix it, I would truly appreciate it.

    Unfortunately your file is too large to download the whole movie. Can you just post a clip of the audio from it? But it is very unlikely that anything can be done to improve the sound since it will probably be terribly distorted by overloading the analogue input chain of the DSLR. The audio input circuits in these type of cameras aren't very good and are very unforgiving of wide dynamic range audio. They are only really intended to record a guide track with decent audio being recorded separately on a portable audio recorder.
