BACKGROUND

  • My team gave a demo to a large audience - we recorded the audio of the demo in multiple locations in the room (3)
  • the audio was recorded using cheap laptop microphones
  • I was not involved in the recording of the audio or the demo
  • Both audio files suck in some form
  • the first one is of a recording near the speaker - which clearly gets his voice but the the audience is audience is muffled - also this one is slightly noisy
  • The second recording was done in the middle of the audience - it gets the audience questions clearly but actually gets the speaker rather sometimes well and sometimes poorly (not all the speakers spoke loudly enough to be heard)

MY QUESTION

  • Is there any techinque or software which can be used to merge these audio files in such a way that the best qualities of each are preserved.
  • I am NOT asking now to simply merge them together in one track - I've already done that in Audacity and it is certainly better - what I am looking for could be considered closer to how HDR images are created - multiple exposures combined into an enhanced new version which is not simply an average of the inputs.

NOTE

  • Am not an "Audio" guy - just a normal user
