Hi Folks, I'm hoping you can help me.

One of my instructors recorded a full e-Learning class on a Blue Yeti. Later, we found that the microphone was having issues. The problem is she put a couple of days of work into it.

Here's a WAV snippet

It has a very underwater "tin room" sound to it. I'm wondering if anyone can offer advice to make it sound... well, passable. It doesn't have to be perfect.

I have a little bit of experience with sound programs, but am still a beginner, so please take it easy on me.

Any help would be super appreciated.

I don't think that you will have much luck with improving this. The audio is too degraded and variable to be able to do anything to it I'm afraid.

I have to say that this sounds as though somebody's already had a go at it - a mic fault wouldn't sound like that at all. This sounds like processing artefacts from Noise Reduction. Do you have a clean copy of the original?

It does sound processed. But, It's not. That is the original recording.

The gain setting on the back of the Mic was acting wacky, and then the mic stopped working all together, so I assumed it was the mic. I guess it could have been the computer or something, but everything else seems to be working.

Thanks for thinking about this.
