Cleaning and tidying audio recordings.

[Hassan23]

Hi,

I recently attended various seminars which I have recorded with my phone (my usual sound recording device was damaged while travelling). The locations for these seminars wasn't ideal, the rooms were large so the speaker had to wear a microphone resulting in an echo, also various humming from the air condition and audio equipment. Now the phone hasn't done a bad job. I would like some advice on which software to use, preferably something with an intuitive interface and lots of tutorials available so I can try it myself. (Apologies if this is posted in the wrong sub forum.)
Thanks in advance

I had some success with Isotope's Rx2 audio editor to clean up some old radio recordings my dad recorded many many years ago. It's been a while since I done that now and it looks like they're up to rx5 now. Might be worth grabbing a trial?

I'm not sure how well it'd help with the echo you mention though. This software is best at dealing with consistent unwanted hum/noise on tracks.

Thank you I'll look into it.
The main problems are...
Noise/hum
The person speaking is very loud like the recorder was right next to a speaker but it wasn't.
Slight echo
Equalise volume, the seminar took place in various locations all with different acoustics so id like to get them as close to each other as possible. However I know this is difficult.
