Hello all, I'm a bit new to home recording. Don't even have much equipment yet, so I've been having other folks record me on the rare occasion I have access to them.
I do have a problem that I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me with. Very late last night I did a very amateur home recording of one of my songs (done on one track). After the sound system captured it, the song was played back through the sound system and the volume was just fine. And, you could also hear the lower bass frequencies just fine. The recording sounded "rich" enough to satisfy me at that time. So I had them burn a copy to CD with a .cda audio file.
The trouble is, that sound file is MUCH quieter when I attempt to play back through my CD player. The volume has to be turned quite high. I can barely hear it. And much of the "richness" has been lost-- I can barely hear any of the bass, which is very important to this recording. I also need to convert this file to .mp3 for the project at hand (which I did attempt to do, and that converted file is even quieter by a slight amount).
I need help figuring out how I can boost the overall volume of this file (and possibly bringing the bass back out) so that it can be easily heard, without causing strange distortions or reducing the clarity of the recording. This is for a project that is due in the next couple days. I'm not so sure that I can get another recording "session" lined up at all, so I'm doing my best to work with what I have at present.
Can anyone help????
