Re: Bass Boosting help.

... What should I use for an alternative, if one is available?. You could install a multi-band compressor plugin into Audacity , e.g ., and set it to ignore the bass frequencies, so it would compress everything but the bass. (Some people actually like the pumping -bass effect that you are trying to...

Re: Bass Boosting help.

I've managed to bass boost my songs to my liking, no distortion or anything. However, when the bass kicks in, the song's volume goes down ... If you use a compressor after the bass-boost that reduction in volume when the bass kicks in is inevitable. Solution : don't use a compressor after the bass-...

Re: Any way to automatically repair clipping?

5sec-crop.png Each white line is a clip, if I manually select the white portion of each vertical line I get fairly good results! Unfortunately, the image above is from a 5 second clip, and I have 4 hours of audio like this to fix :/ is there any script that can detect these lines and use the repair...

Re: Improve "weak" audio for training course

The weakness comes across as a quavering and shakiness ... There are pulses of bass-iness, which isn't helping intelligibility. You could just remove more bass, like the 100Hz rumble filter, but, say 250Hz instead. Or, even better, use a multi-band compressor which will reduce the bass & DeEss ...
