I received the audio files again from the source after he downloaded them from his digital recorder to his computer, through sendthisfile.com. It still sounds just as bad. I am going to go pick up a disk now and see if that is any clearer. Do I have any options to fix if it's just as bad on the disk?

Hi, I am a new user and am feeling pretty overwhelmed. I am a court reporter and have received some poor-quality audio, but with tips from a friend, figured out how to use noise removal, which was miraculous, however, now the speaker voices are too low for me to hear. When I amplify, it puts some of...
