Can't fix 'tinny' audio

Hi all,

I'm currently editing a video with obvious background/fan noise that I'm trying to edit out. I can get rid of the background noise but the person's voice now sounds so tinny and awful. I've used the denoise effect, altered the reduction and the processing focus, increased the bass and decreased the treble, and tried altering the audio within the dialogue category in essential sound (i.e. rumble reduction, noise reduction, dehumming, and reducing reverb). I've tried all of these effects in some form or fashion, playing trial and error, taking out some effects, comparing effects, etc. and I just can't get the person's voice right while keeping the background noise out. If anyone has any brilliant ideas for audio when you're really struggling to nix the tinny sound from a person's voice after editing out the background noise, please help!

Thanks in advance.

Not all things are fixable in post. It's very possible this is one you just can't fix.

You're probably stuck with the tin or the noise if you stay in Premiere without a better tool. Most BBNRs use a phase inversion technique to get rid of noise, and that can result in different kinds of artifacts - rarely good. You could try a third party BBNR plug-in. Or, send your track to Au, which has a more sophisticated BBNR. It has a spectrum view that lets you draw a border around frequencies and delete it. If you need to get serious, there are some third party plugs designed especially for dealing with location audio and post production, and are expensive.

SoundSoap is value priced, and works pretty well.
