Can distorted soud be fixed?

[hornavan]

I recently recorded a lecture using GH2 and a wireless mike from Senheiser. All seemed well but when I checjed the soudn it was distorted, the level was to high.
Is there anything I can do to fix the distorted sound?

not really.  clipping cannot be undone.  if only occasionally clipping you might get away with careful use of a de-esser, some eq and a few other tricks.

There are plugins which claim to fix clipping- google can show them to you: here's one: http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/rx/ (haven't used it).

You can't fix digitally distorted sound. Once you past that 0db threshold it's a bunch of nothingness. Analogue, however, can be worked with.
