The most common application of forensic audio is the removal of background noise and the enhancement of audio so that the voices in a recording can be clearly heard, this is where forensic audio differs from audio mastering. While the objective of mastering is to make a recording sound the best it possibly can, forensic audio often focuses on the intelligibility of the audio. Forensic audio enhancement can be extremely challenging as most recordings are made in less than ideal circumstances, requiring each case to have a unique and tailored approach to achieve the best results possible.
