fix corrupted audio in PP + Audition

[Nikbakht]

Hi

I have the sound of a meeting (attached a little portion of it) which seems to me to be clipping but when analysing it in Audtion it shows no clipping problems. I don't know the namd of this distortion but need to fix it.

When exporting the same audio by Premiere Pro in some computers you don't even hear the sound and there's a weird sound.

1- How could I analyse it?

2- What's this problem name?

3- How should I fix it?

Rule 1 of distortion: You can't fix it.

What you have there is distortion caused by a mic preamp overload - it doesn't have to clip to sound like this. The problem is that when this happens, there is no undistorted reference to base any processing on. Even Adobe's AI-based speech enhancer threw a wobbly about your sample (for the reason I just stated). This is not something you have to take my word for - you can try it for yourself here: Enhance Speech 

The person who finds a way to fix distortion like this will make a fortune. Don't hold your breath waiting, though...

Thank you very much

If you have to use a sound like this, what is the best way to avoid such wobblies like the one the enhancer makes of it?

Which effects to use to at least have it properly exported in the edited clips?

There's no answer to that - because as I said, you can't fix it.

What you should be concentrating on is learning how not to overload the recorder in the first place. Too little gain is much more fixable.
