|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Audio Help Sandy Huffaker, Photographer San Diego | CA | USA | Posted: 10:51 PM on 03.10.10 ->> I recorded an audio piece today to go along with photos for a major pub and I didn't have the mic close enough to the subjects mouth while she was speaking. The sound is a bit low and I was wondering if there is a way to boost it or amplify it?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

You will be able to better hear your subject, but the overall quality will be degraded a bit.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

It would be comparable to about a stop under. I also recorded it on the mode for the most minimal ambient sound.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

It'll help cut the noise a little bit, just don't go over board or your audio will sound like you were recording with a tin can!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
