I made a wonderful live recording of a band where the microphone was placed slightly too close to the drummer. You can hear the guitars, violin, flute and other instruments but the sound of the drum is a little too loud and tends to dominate.
Is there a way, perhaps a tutorial, which could show how to somehow diminish the volume of the drumbeat?
It’s difficult/almost impossible to split a mixed performance into individual instruments so to make one instrument louder or softer. The people who record a rock concert with nuclear bass notes or neighbor talking on his mobile have the same problem.
You could try Effect > Compressor. That, as a fuzzy rule, knocks down loud sounds to the advantage of softer ones. It also affects the relationship between the other instruments, so it’s a juggling act.
