Indeed, I have a future project/goal of "restoring" Have Gun - Will Travel radio episodes to listenable quality using tech like this. There are so many lines where sound effects and tape rot and other "bad recording" things make it very difficult to understand what was sad. Will be amazing, but as with all tech the potential for abuse is very real

hey if you want to collab or trade notes, my email is in my profile. there was java software that did FANTASTIC work cleaning up crappy transfers of audio, like, specifically, it was perfect for "AM Quality Monaural Audio".

  Observe, original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiRcOVDAryM

i say "was [...] software" because the last 2 times i've tried to use it, it did imperceptible cleanup, making it worthless. Anyhow, all my radio plays are from OTRR, i think.

Audio.Restoration.DeNoise.DeNoiseLF.2.8.3_WiN.OSX is a more recent version i think

p.s. are you a "dude named Ben"?
