Default Tricks for enhancing a vocal from room ambient YouTube audioto whatever extent it can be done

Let's say you've got audio that's recorded via - dynamic mic
speakers ambient sound into a webcam mic rather than some direct-in
type of setup. It's basically clean as far as no greatly obnoxious
artifacting, camera noise, outside traffic, but it is what it is - a
lot of muddy room ambience, limited frequency range etc. I'm sure you
get the idea.

The ultimate goal is a just for fun project to mix the vocal with a
karaoke track. It's already in the right key.

Other than playing with EQ to take out some of the room mud and boost
some of the freq's a little, any suggestions for sow's ear/silk purse
tweaking of audio like this?

Thanks for all input



Nope. You can't unscramble an egg. You might be able to do something
with single-ended noise reduction, but probably not ( and very
much not without flangey artifacts ).

Single-ended NR is like what Adobe Audition offers - you snatch
a segment of room tone, then it "subtracts" that from
the signal.
