It's a recording of one of my tunes with my jazz quartet. The recording
quality leaves a bit to be desired. I hope some of you mastering gurus
would lend an ear, explain what you think should be done and in what
program, maybe someone could even find the time to generate an improved
file. At least I hope to learn a bit about digital audio and mastering
along the way.
The sound isn't bad at all - it's just _that_ type of sound and you
like it or not. As it is you get the intimate feel of a very small
jazz club. It could be made a bit more 'contemporary' by adding some
equalisation and some reverb. But unless you have this as a
multitrack session and you can remix it and apply the EQ and reverb
selectively, I'd leave it alone, maybe just adding some very light
HF shelving to give it just a touch more brightness.
The major problem is that some parts are horribly out of tune, at
least to my ears...
