Abstract
Audio recorded by a cellphone or other portable recording device (e.g., audio recorded as part of a video recording of a play or other event) is often of low quality, due to the limitations of the portable recording device. Multiple audio recordings, made during the same period of time and near the same location, can be combined to generate an improved-quality audio recording of an event. The audio recordings may be accessible to a server that selects the audio recordings and performs the combination. To protect the privacy of persons whose audio is used, more than a minimum number of recordings could be combined and/or no more than a threshold amount of any one recording could be used to generate a combined recording. Additionally, a provided 'clean' recording could include more than a threshold amount of the audio provided by a user or device that requests such a 'clean' recording.
