I have twenty-five WAV interviews I originally recorded on cassette almost forty years ago and recently had digitised. The material fills about 10.5 GB; most tracks run close to 45 minutes and a handful stretch to an hour. Time has left its mark—persistent hiss, a low mains hum, and two recordings dotted with an intermittent click. What I need is the cleanest, most natural-sounding result that good background-noise reduction and voice clarification can achieve without introducing new artefacts. Your task is to work directly on the WAV masters, taming the hiss and hum, smoothing those occasional clicks, and generally lifting speech intelligibility. If you work in iZotope RX, Adobe Audition, Pro Tools or similar, feel free to mention it; I only care that the voices end up clear and authentic rather than overly processed. Deliverables • Restored WAV files matching the original file names and running times • Consistent overall loudness and tone so the collection plays back evenly • An early sample from one of the problem interviews so we can confirm the approach before you proceed with the full batch There’s no deadline pressure, so you can fit the project around other commitments. My ceiling is roughly $700, though I’m hoping for a proposal that comes in under that. For logistical reasons I’d like to keep this within the United States. If this sounds like a fit, please tell me a little about your restoration experience and the tools you prefer, and we’ll get started. I have already paid for an NDA.

I specialize in surgical audio restoration using iZotope RX 11 to achieve crystal-clear speech without the 'robotic' artifacts of over-processing. Send me 2 minutes of your most problematic track, and I will show you how clean and natural it can sound. I understand the sentimental and historical value of 40-year-old cassette recordings. My goal is to preserve the authentic tone of the original interviews while methodically removing the technical decay of time. My Restoration Workflow for your 25 Interviews: Surgical Noise Removal: Using iZotope RX 11’s Spectral De-noise and De-hum, I will eliminate the persistent hiss and mains hum without affecting the vocal frequencies. Click & Artifact Repair: I will use De-click and De-crackle modules to smooth out those intermittent clicks you mentioned, ensuring a fluid listening experience. Voice Clarification: I’ll apply Dialogue Isolate (v11) to lift the speech intelligibility, especially in the more degraded tracks. Loudness Consistency: I will ensure all 25 tracks have a consistent LUFS level and tonal balance, so the entire collection feels like a professional series. I am ready to provide the early sample you requested. While I am currently based in Turkey, I work with US clients regularly and have no issues with NDAs or secure file transfers via Google Drive/Dropbox.
