Reduce agc in post?

I have been shooting for a short film at school using my Canon 7d, I did record audio on most of the shots external but I didn't have the recorder to all the shots. No the AGC noise makes many of the clips almost useless and I have no time to record the clips again. Therefor I was wondering if it was anything I could do to reduce the AGC noise, I have final cut pro and sound track pro. I have used sound track pro for some of the shots were I could use the ``set noise clip´´and ``reduce noise´´function but for the shots with conversation the sound got really weird.I don't have the time to do allot of research on this so hopefully someone here knows a good program I can download. K+ for legit answer.
 
i know you can use plural eyes if you are having trouble syncing, but I don't shoot canon, so thats about all the advice I can give. There should be something out there, but most people are going to tell you that the best solution is an external recorder.
 
well you could re-record the voices of the actors in the conversation again and dub over the original so you have a very clean track of audio for the dialogue. soundtrack pro has a pretty good feature for that where you can watch the clip and record the talent's voice while it loops to do takes simultaneously until they get it just right. if you have extra time for that, that would be the way to go, but you will need a mic that plugs into the comp somehow.

here is a link that may help with a tutorial. not exactly the one i was thinking of but definitely similar methods.

Thanks for the answers, didn't knew about the plural eyes program but are going to test this out where I am going to sync the audio from the recorder. Would probably have recorded the audio again if I had the time, sadly I don't so hopefully I will find an other way to fix it.
 
I've used Audacity successfully for similar situations. You isolate a period in time that has just the noise, and it will remove it from the entire track. It's free too. Search youtube or online to see a demo of how to remove the noise. It's a two-step process.
