Hello all,
I'm pretty much a beginner when it comes to recording, I've done little bits and not very successfully. I've never actually managed to record a full song from scratch. I have some basic gear at home and I've agreed to help a mate try to improve the sound quality of some old recordings he made with a friend who's now passed away. My mate has ideas of adding new parts to some of the songs as well as improving the overall sound of the originals.
At some point the originals, (I assume they were recorded on tape) have been transferred to CD. It is only the CD copy's we have to work with although they have been ripped in WAV format for best quality. Will this be a limiting factor regarding the improvements that can be made?
I'm using Ableton Intro 8.4.2 in Windows 7 64bit. I have a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24, a Midi controller and an AKG perception 120 Mic, plus various guitars. I really want the best end result possible with the gear I have. I don't expect miracles.
Will it be better if I post an example of the recordings so you know what we're working with?
Any help you can offer is much appreciated. Thank you.
