Hi Steve I ran across some of your messages regarding echo issues in recorded audio. Steve please please can you help me I've tried EVERYTHING and I just can't get this right. I have a audio recording from a S7 and the background noise is so overwhelming that it has drowned out the voices. But whenever I Denoise the audio as well as the speech all background seems to disappear but the voices than become so echoey. I can only make out bits and pieces UGH 😩 Please can someone help me fix the echo and distortion on this recording

I'm sorry - but this is unfixable. It's distorted, and it's never going to be possible to fix distortion - and what sounds there are are at the same level as the noise, and in the same frequency band, so there's no chance of isolating them. The stuff you see on CSI isn't real; you cannot extract sense out of an almighty distorted noise, whatever you do.

Thank you Steve can you possibly tell me why this happened cause I unfortunately have multiple recordings im needed to filter through and in some of them there are parts of the recording where the voices are crystal clear but than there are parts where it sounds so echoey and muffled. Does this happen when what's being recorded is to far away or to close?

The recording In my first post yes was from a s7 phone however I have this one that was recorded using a iPhone 11 but seems like it's having the same issues

I record interviews and house concerts over the internet for later radio broadcast using Cleanfeed.

Sometimes a phone is the only equipment the remote musicians have access to. Cleanfeed does a good job of dealing with the issues you've encountered, and may be something worth considering for future recordings.

There's a free account to get started. I have no relationship with Cleanfeed other than as a very satisfied customer.

Cleanfeed is here:
