Hi Robert:

If the low bits weren't switched on, there is nothing to recover. If digital information was 
recorded, it can be boosted in any software program. There may not be enough information to produce 
high-quality audio, but there are programs that can "guess and smooth" to enhance audibility. 
However, these programs need some bits and bytes to work with.

You may be up against what was discovered on the Nixon tape that was "accidentally erased":

Subject: [ARSCLIST] Very low level audio recording


Arsclist,

I'm currently digitizing an 1999 audio analogue folklore fieldwork recording. This recording has a 
very low audio level (unusable).

If any possibilities of recovering this recording, do you have suggestions? The content of this 
recording is more important than the quality or cosmetic.

I've link an excerpt for your appreciation on my website:

Thanks in advance for all replies.
