Amen!
There is no miracle procedure to correct badly-recorded audio. If you
want it to sound good, record it the correct way. generally, ACAP - as
close as possible (except in a rare overload situation.)
I preach this to my students all the time, and to my staff. A pro on my
staff was set up to close mic a comedy performance, and the MC said he
wanted lots of crowd noise and told him to use the camera mic. And he
did. And the audio is unusable.
