These tips will show you how to fix the sound of a phone call and make it sound better on your podcast. If you record a call too loud it can suffer scratchy distortion. This tutorial will show you how to clean that up in the Spectral Frequency Display and then add Noise Reduction along with a noise gate and expander for a clean sounding telephone call.
