Hello there, new to the forums.
Basically hoping that someone can help me clean up an audio file.
It's a recording of my band playing a live set that was recorded straight from the mixing desk.
Unfortunately the quality of it is less than glamorous.
If anyone could have a tinker with it and give it some more life that would be brilliant.
The main issue is that the guitar is way too low in the mix, it needs to be a stronger element.
Also just needs some general depth (maybe some reverb etc.), it sounds rather flat at the moment.
Anything that can be done is appreciated a lot.
Thanks in advance!

Sorry I have to post the url like that because I'm new :(
 
Is this a stereo (or mono) mix of the whole band, or individual tracks?

I seriously doubt that can be done without hard EQ, (which will also adversely affect other instruments.) Once sound is mixed, just like with different colored paints, it cannot be unmixed. Separate sounds can no longer be dealt with individually.

The guitar is too low in the mixer because it was too loud in the room during the performance. It apparently didn't need to be turned up in the mixer to be heard by the audience. Which is exactly why it is a bad idea to record the house mix. Consider it a lesson learned.
 
That's not cleaning up a file: that's attempting to remix the individual elements embedded in a single file.
Some tweaking can be done BUT it wouldn't really be a) any good or b) worth the effort.
