Audio Resolved

Last night, Paul Soler managed to pull up the gain of the tracks and lower some of the frequencies to enable the speech to be heard clearer. This sounds much better now and I am much happier with it.

Here's what Paul did to fix the audio:
 - increased gain to maximum boost allowable in Cubase (+24db) on quiet sections.
 - altered compression settings on audio track. Higher ratio (8:1) and increased make up gain considerably to further boost level.

 - tweaked settings on noise reduction plugin. Listened for optimum sweet spot on mid range frequencies whereby Jo's voice was clear but hiss was still being reduced. 

- It was impossible to do both totally effectively because of the quality of the source audio recording.

- applied limiter to output channels for audio mix down in order to prevent clipping.

As you'll be able to tell, the audio is considerably better than originally, however will a few minor errors. 

Paul has been brilliant at fixing this and I can't thank him enough!
