Hi there,

I have a voice recorded audio file in mp3 format. Originally the voice was recorded on a tape recorder (at time when disc and computers were luxury) and recently i got it converted into mp3 format with the help of one of my friends. There is loud background noise(air noise, as one can expect from a audio file recorded on a tape recorder)and the actual voice subsided.

I tried removing the noise and hiss using 'wavepad editor' a trail software from NCH but had no success. As my display name goes, my knowledge about audio stuff is at zilch however i need to get the voice in this file to be audible enough.

Would greatly appreciate any help from the experts.

Cheers,
Layman

I had to the same thing with old videos digitalized from VHS videos. It was quite a long time ago so I cannot give You instructions but I used audacity and got the job done quite well.
