Here's my problem. I'm pretty sure it can be rectified with linux but I
don't know how. I recorded an small low-budget cd in a small local
studio a few years ago. Although I loved the end result, the cd itself
never had the loudness that a regular cd had. I would be playing it at
a reletively loud range and then change cd's and always, the other cd
would be nearly twice as loud.
How can I make these songs louder?
might want to try JAMin. in particular the multiband compression and limiting.
On my old recordings there were done with a cheesy
four-track, how can I
make there cleaner?
Some of my old recordings that have been copied over from old tapes are
too hot and therefore get a really annoying digital distortion. Can I
distortion removal is a tricky science, but there are some fairly decent win32 options so
maybe linux has someting too.. you might want to try isolating a resonant range where its
particularly bad and EQing it out, or scour all the LADSPA and wave editors out there for
clipped peak reduction stuff..
clean those up too?
