Hello , my friend has asked me to clean up some old video audio, which has been overclipped ,distorted, doesn't sound nice at all . Ive got acon restoration suite & waves noise plugins..which im struggling to still remove the distortion & mic feedback... Ive been told to try iZotope RX but i think the audios too damaged... any advice?

 

I would do as you did and try iZotope RX. iZoptone has probably written one of the best algorithm.

def try rx ....
and steinberg spectralayers if you know how to handle it .
viewing 1-2 tuts on youtube for that both programs and that matter wont be wasted time but rx is great even never touched the manual or having restoration knowledge .
imo kick everything and get rx . i think there are 1 or 2 more advanced software for restoration but these are more for people know this stuff very well .

stereo tool has good declipper too....for this the unpropper warez should be enough .

Hello @DJ PUKKA, the piece probably can't be saved completely. I would use iZotope Rx, which has an AI and edit the vocals with " Vocal Plosive Distortion Removed " with RX De-plosive. Removing Plosives from a Voice Recording Instantly remove plosives from audio recordings in dialogue and voiceovers with iZotope’s RX De-Plosive tool.

Spectralayers and Wavelab has good declip module, in Wavelab you can manually redraw the waveform little by little if the automatic fix didnt satisfy you.
