very wired sound

Post by jusjus » Sat Jan 24, 2009 7:58 pm

Hi All,
I have a recording where the voice sounds very wired :o - someone could say robotic. Is there a way to clean something like this http://www.stami.ch/transfer/public/strangevoice.mp3

Your help in this is greatly appreciated! :!:

<<<Is there a way to clean something like this>>>

Can we assume the original was somebody playing natural instruments, not electronic music?

I'm going with no. Someone created a very damaged sound file. It could be sampling errors or a marginal sound file that sounded OK to listen to straight, but once compressed into MP3, turned into trash. The obvious error is the gargling, bubbling instruments, but a lesser clue is the snapping that drifts through the piece. That's pretty deadly.

The video people have a tool to cure this. The "Reshoot FIlter."

Hi,
thank you very much for your tipp - I'll try to find a reshoot filter...
It was a plain speech which was live recorded - hence we didn't notice anything. I figured till now out that it was indeed most likely a mismatch in the Sampling rate. As a matter of fact I switched now to ol' Analog recording.

Thank you for your help in this!
