I know one guy, Derek Lane (if I spelled his name right), that at least used to specialize in this sort of thing. I wouldn't be surprised if he would want to charge professional fees for doing it, and unfortunately I don't have contact information handy; but I heard some of his samples years ago and thought they were pretty impressive. You of course may not feel the need to go that far with this, but just in case I thought I'd mention the option.

There's also AI-based audio cleanup, though I have not messed with that as much as perhaps I should, since I also have a lot of old tapes.

   sure.


   A quick Google search has found apps that are especially for cleaning
   up podcast voice recording.

   Does anyone have experience with any of these?
