OTOH, very probably some rather invasive processing has already been done by the iphone software. If the recording was made using the internal mic(s) then it will depend on the app used * which mic(s) were used (there are 3), * if any of the following processing was done: automatic gain control, equalisation, speech enhancement, noise removal, dereverberation, maybe others. All this stuff is geared at voice communication, so the result for any other type of use could very well be quite catastrophic. The only way to determine what can be done to improve the recording is to listen... Maybe you could make a few minutes available. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
