| Speech presence |
May sound distant, quiet, or masked by the surrounding room.
|
Speech can be easier to hear when the source contains recoverable voice detail.
|
| Background distraction |
Fans, traffic, room tone, or handling noise may compete with the speaker.
|
Unwanted sound may be reduced, but strong overlapping noise can remain audible.
|
| Clipping and distortion |
Harsh peaks or clipped words may already have lost their original detail.
|
Processing cannot reliably recreate speech information removed by severe clipping.
|
| Natural tone |
Preserves the speaker's untouched character, including flaws and room colour.
|
May sound more controlled, but should be checked for an unnatural or over-processed tone.
|
| Multiple speakers |
Different voices may vary in loudness, distance, and recording quality.
|
Each speaker still needs a careful listen; one setting may not suit every voice equally.
|
| Music and sound effects |
The voice may compete with a busy mix or loud transitions.
|
A clearer voice can help, but the complete mix still needs its own level and timing review.
|
| Source quality |
A clean, well-positioned microphone recording gives the process more useful detail.
|
An improved result still depends on what was present in the source file.
