I Think I Fixed Clipping

[Decaf]

How's this look guy's? Not the cleanest but not so dirty.

meh, whatever u did isnt what hes doing, otherwise technically there should be less clipping, i see plenty without downloadin it and using audacity to zoom in

i tried doing what i think he's doing, and yeah it cleans it up some, but u have to have a great ear to know what to eq back up from compressing it so much and lowerin levels... its just not a fool proof 1-5 step process, its gonna be more difficult than that

music is so dynamic the problem will be that it doesnt work on all songs, or it takes awhile to figure it out and few people have the patience to figure out audacity, let alone pro tools or fruity loops... lol

still waiting for update

I have ran into sort of a problem. In order to make the bass clean the track has to be split. the top being the highs and the bottom being the lows

when your done cleaning up the lows and equalizing the highs down you have to combine the 2 back together. the only why that i know how to do this is by recording, but after recording the track i get popping noises throughout the song they look like this

only way i have found to get them out is by going through and cutting them out but that would take a good hour for each song. So dose anyone know of a way i can merge the tracks without recording or remove the popping sound?

If you export the two tracks as an MP3 they merge into a stereo track.

But first I think you should make each track mono.

[Decaf]

once uve remastered the highs and lows

go to select all... then project... then quick mix

after that copy the whole mono song

go to project, then new audio track

paste onto new audio track

then go to arrow pointing down next to beginining of song and select make stereo track

u shouldnt have to use the recording ever

ok that worked thanks

what program do you use for a 30 band eq i downloaded a few and i either couldn't find the eq or i could save the settings

also im going to make a little how to now to explane what exactly i am doing

[ben29555]

1) load a song and split stereo track

2) LPF at 89 Hz (you can go a little higher or lower shouldn't make a difference)

It will Look Rocky at first like this

3) After Repeating LPF 3 or 4 times the curve of the waves will look smooth

4) HPF the top at around 150

5) use Compressor at -12db with ratio and attack time all they way down with normalize to 0db unchecked

will look like this after

6) equalize down a bit

7) Select all - Quick Mix

Duplicate - Make Sterno Track

9) now eq or whatever you what to do they make it louder

nice!!i wonder if Decaf got on this yet lol

[brewer_brewer]

oh my god

did he cure cancer?

i be thinking that he did

[Decaf]

problem is once i go back to raise the levels after all the work to get it a "loud" enuf level, clipping shows back up

so far it doesnt work "all the time"

ill get screen shots if i can of side by side comparisons... in otherwords, yes some clipping is being eliminated but its jeapordizing alot to do that

im still trying to work out kinks so to speak

[dwz]

well u are onto something bro

so u set ut lpf at say 15k

hpf on old audacity is either 89hz or 45hz, nothing in between (after u do hpf, go to undo and then go to hpf, it will say either 89 or 45, weird huh)

u should use a 30 band eq so u can fine tune everything, thats what i do

thank you jesus i finally found it
