Hi all! I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me somewhat fix the issue I have encountered. I'm supposed to stream a video online this Friday with the effected audio and am HOPING I can find a solution to clean it up somewhat. Any and all ideas welcome.
Background: Three times a year I record over 8 hours of the final round of a photography competition. It's a panel setup with three judges on camera with lav mic headsets. I use OBS to record each segment and then playback the video files online at a later date as part of a streaming event. After recording, I clean up the audio in Adobe Audition while using presets from Music Radio Creative.
Current issue: On day two of recording I foolishly didn't re-check that everything was recording fine and for the first 1.5 hours the audio recorded (after passing through OBS) is in very rough shape. I have a VST 2 plugin (TDR Kotelnikov https://www.tokyodawn.net/tdr-kotelnikov/) that was on and I suspect the culprit for the continuous clicking and cutting/peaking of the audio.
Example Audio: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/3/folders/1wvSzdFLFJPcfinnUCFN-oSfuOsGhzHxi
(I've also attached the two files to this thread)
There are two clip examples. The first is unprocessed and on the second clip (V2) I've applied two passes of deClicker both on heavy reduction. Then I applied a Voice Preset I use.
Is there a solution out there to make the audio somewhat understandable? I know it's pretty rough but I have no option to re-record. One thing I played with was adding an artificial stereo effect and it seemed to make understanding the audio a little easier.
Thanks in advance for any help with this!!

I've had a listen to it now, and I'm sorry, but I don't think you stand any chance of fixing it, because the gaps should contain parts of the speech, and they are actually missing. I can't make out what was being said at all.

Thanks for your reply Steve. I know it's pretty bad. One idea I've been thinking of is getting subtitles added in for the bad audio section. Do you or anyone else have a service online you'd recommend? Obviously and auto-generated one is out of the question!
Do you know of any way to apply an effect in Audition in waves, or cyclically? To try and counteract the volume fluctuations?
