I'm attempting to pick out some vocals for a Russian friend from a Russian film.
The vocals are actually in English but are quite muffled in places and I'm having a hard time hearing them, can anyone suggest anything I could do to try and clear them up a bit. I've managed to clean up some static on the soundtrack in Audacity. For info, it's a film called Valentina from around 1980 and the track has only vocals and a guitar. Cheers, Paul. |

Muffled = lacking high frequencies, particularly in the sibilance range ( 2.5 KHz and up). The trick is to get them back. Adding a band of boosting over the missing range can help, but since you aren't working on just the vocal track, other sounds and noise can come back with the sibilance. |
