Hi
I have the following track:
http://www.atte.dk/at_slum_avenue.ogg
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.
A few notes:
A valid question would be "but how do you want it to sound?". Well, good
:-) At least I think it needs more high frequencies, more definition and
more presence.
Needless to say, I'm on a linux-only system, so any tools should be
linux stuff, but you probl. guessed that :-)
Nice track. I played around with it a bit. If you want to try
JAMin take the attached file and place it in your .jamin directory
(uncompress it first). You can use alsaplayer with the -o jack option
and run that in to JAMin or use Ardour for both in and out. The
at_slum.jam file should show up in JAMin if you go to File->Open. I
only spent a few minutes on the settings. You really don't want to push
this track too much as you'll lose some of the dynamics.
