Slow Children Playing
I have a multi-track recording I did with mostly acoustic instruments that was rendered on a laptop with the crap internal soundcard. I can replicate all the various parts except a very neat serendipitous acoustic guitar break. I was wondering if it is at all possible to tart up the rest of the track and end up being able to keep these 2 tracks that I doubt I could re-create.
The vocals are crap and now I have a good soundcard and better mic/preamp. I can play the bass part over again and the various percussion and guitar parts. I just want to keep the feeling of the original demo and try and keep this really neat break in the middle.
Did you ever hear someone say "You ought to jack up that horn and put a car under it"? That is the feeling I get. If all the other parts are done in 24-bit will it hide the raspiness of the low-fi original acoustic tracks? I appreciate using primitive or funky techniques for effect, but this sounds like 2nd or 3rd generation MP3 compression. I am concerned that it will always stick out as sounding weird and not blend.
I suppose I should post a mixdown to the MP3 forum, but I'm a bit shy about this one given its autobiographical subject matter.
