We can go through the process of posting a sample clip and then we inspect it, etc, etc, but overload/dense/saturated is one of the errors with no recovery. Try it. Drag select a ten second segment of damaged audio (I assume mono, right?) and File > Export Selected: WAV (Microsoft). Post it here. Fr...
