If this is a video, there are Hollywood ways to solve this. Looping is where a voice actor sits in front of a high quality microphone facing a screen where a segment of the video plays back repeatedly—loops. The job of the voice actor is to record new dialog matching the video actor's mouth exactly....

And yes, there is a logical extension to this. A significant number of recording problems vanish without a trace if you stop using the computer. It is written on a stone somewhere that you have to use the computer for recording. The stone is wrong. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/search.php?s=Zoom+H...

I threw both noise and compression in there. Yes, it does pass, but does it by fractional values. If anything at all goes wrong, it may stop passing.

The real problem is splitting the quiet voice from the loud one so you can fix one without messing up the other. There is no good way t...

"We can't make out the words" is usually the kiss of death. Audacity doesn't do forensics very well.

one of whom has audio that's very muffled. Those words in a post almost always means someone trying to record both sides of a cellphone or Skype call with the wrong software. Do you know which? As above, if it's a mixed track, you're pretty much dead. You don't actually have both tracks, you have o...
