Hello...

But what is wrong? level? noise?

Use audio editor (Adobe Audtion or free Audacity to denoise)

If this is possible can You give the sample but with some short moment of silence - part of recording without any sound (no music, no voice, no sound effects - only pure noise? - usually between movie scenes or at the beginning or end of recording)

I could help but you need to have adobe audition. Can you get it or already have it? I made a quick repair of the sample file, you can check it here http://www.filefront.com/17423704/george-sample-2.1.mp3/ .

I give up. What's wrong with it?
I opened it with foobar2000 and it played it from start to finish. I opened it with MP3DirectCut and it didn't complain about having to fix errors when I re-saved it.

If you've only got it as an MP3 and you just want to increase the volume, you can open it with mp3DirectCut (http://mpesch3.de1.cc/) and nomalise it without having to decode it.
If you want to get rid of some of the noise or EQ it then do a Google for "wave editor". There's free programs you can use.
Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/)
Wavosaur (http://www.wavosaur.com/)

Are you serious yetanotherid? Can't you hear all the noise? I tried to remove it with all the freeware software you recommended but it's just impossible. For noise removal you need a noise profile and from the sample greatmagician provided it's just impossible to generate a noise profile with the software you recommended. The software must have an option to display a spectral frequency from where you can select what human ear determines as a noise. When you capture that you can easily create a noise profile and use this profile for removing the noise from the original track. Adobe Audition can do it.

You didn't mention actually what problem you faced. I can help you if you tell the problem.

Errrr.... yeah. That's why when I couldn't find anything wrong with the track itself I asked if greatmagician wanted to remove the noise and pointed towards a couple of free programs. Why would you then be seriously asking me whether I could hear the noise?

I assumed.... and correct me if I'm wrong, greatmagician would be keen to remove the noise from the entire track, not just the sample. And maybe there's a section of the entire track which contains nothing but the noise which needs removing?

Wonderful.

Speaking of enquiries as to the level of posting seriousness, do you think greatmagician would be asking the question here if he had adobe audition installed?
Maybe a solution not involving software worth hundreds of dollars might be a little more realistic?

Listening to the song just for a short period of time forces you to see that the main problem with this song is its noise level. It was just strange to me how you couldn't recognise this as the main problem.

I agree with you that greatmagician would probably like to remove the noise from the entire song and the method I was describing does exactly that. I did mention the sample but as a sample I didn't have in mind a complete waveform of the sample, just it's "noisy" part. It's easy to recognise it from the spectral frequency display (with a bit of intuition), mark it and than capture it as a noise profile. Than use this noise profile on entire song and you get rid of the most of the unwanted noise. The song and vocals become a bit darker and less transparent with this noise removal but you can adjust that with boosting some treble.

I suppose you hate the fact that adobe isn't affordable to many people as much as I do but there's a way around. It's lame but better than nothing: fully functional trial of adobe audition.

I'll try again a bit harder with the software you recommended.

As the title of the thread is "fix damaged song" I ran it through a couple of programs to look for problems with the file before I even listened to it. To me damaged implied broken, not badly recorded.

Well if you can use it for free and it does the best job then it's probably the best solution. I assume you can download it?

[MicoMaco]

Of course it's available for download from Adobe site. Unfortunately it's only a trial.

It's interesting to see that the OP didn't comment on anything nor answered to the questions ... but the discussion is still hot :)

If you posted a noise sample, I could try and NR that with Izotope RX (fantastic tool).

Un)fortunately, there is almost no high frequency content there that isn't noise. So lowpass filtering (turning down the high frequencies) would help with the hiss.
