best way to raise quiet areas of a speaking recording without lowering the louder parts? (FCP 10.2.3)
(I am running FCP 10.2.3 on an old mac and cannot upgrade.)
I could not get much improvement with the Audio Enhancements section of the Audio Inspector.
For a long speaking event of an author with the worst microphone technique,
What is the best way to raise quiet areas of a speaking recording without lowering the louder parts?
I expect that would use a built-in or plug-in audio effect with specific settings.
In this recording, the speaker frequently turns away from the microphone sporadically 20% of the recording and the volume drops greatly. Another 20%, he speaks very low. The other 60% is acceptable and I don't need to change the level. I'm not expecting nice audio. I just need the quiet speaking to be more audible.
Secondarily, This is recorded with a shotgun mic in a loud booming room. I don't have the new final cut with the "noise removal" or "voice isolation" but I could sure use them now. Is there a simple way for me to achieve that with fcp 10.2.3?
Thank you for any help you can provide to publish this important event which I volunteered to record and publish.
