I'm less pessimistic than the other posters on this, since
I do a lot of location event work, with audio "saving"
often necessary in post. With a little experience, and
a good sound editor (like Cool Edit, cheap, at
www.syntrillium.com - or Sound Forge, expensive with the
add-on noise-reduction module, included with Cool Edit,
at www.sonicfoundry.com/products/default.asp), you can pull
good-sounding, low-noise audio out of most any track.
You can even correct some clipping, pull voices out of noise
or music, whatever (some of this requires "micro-managing",
though, with manual adjustment at the single-word or
even single wave-cycle sometimes needed - and this takes
time, patience, and skill [much like photo retouching...]).
