Mixing music while still keeping them separated & increasing quality

I mix unrelated musics which match only by rhytm , or a little bit more, like melody, or development.

Sometimes they are heard like a noise instead of a

*well matching pair of music which can be listened and enjoyed individually , or together,
and whichever you listen, the other doesn’t sound like a background noise, and sounds more like background music *

Is there a trick to make this* possible?

For example apply a trick to one, and not to the other.

In math what I would do, add a new coordinate, and make that coordinate different for each ingredient.

Another question: can I increase quality of a recording. For example on CDs sometimes it says, digitally remastered.
Karajan died in 1986, but he has very high quality recordings at digital convert hall of BPO, but not on CDs.
They must be applying some trick to increase sound quality.

Can this be done for images: yes. I mean, not indefinitely… You pick a pixel and look for colors of nearby pixels and decide
what should be the color of that pixel. This way you can create a more realistic higher resolution images.
I never used such a program, but it must exist somewhere. Maybe there is also audi/video version of it.

As I understand this, the trick is not to layer many different sound tracks and change them at will, the problem is how do we listen to this performance without multi-track Audacity running. There’s no performance sound format which will do that.

There is an additional restriction, too. Audacity will only play to a Mono system (one channel) or Stereo (two channels). Full stop. So you may be able to mix as many different tracks and effects as you want, stereo is the maximum number of sound channels you can play for a performance.

Yes, there are number of “tricks”. Experience is perhaps the best one. :smiley:

If you have two pieces of music, but they are in different keys, you can adjust the key of one of them so they match. Sometimes, the very last note of the song is the key. Use Effect > Change Pitch.

If the songs are in the same key, but have different tempos, use Effect > Change Tempo.

If you want to adjust only the first part of a song, but leave the rest unchanged, use Effect > Sliding Stretch.

And don’t forget the time-shift tool. Time Shift Tool - Audacity Manual

I hope this helps. :smiley:

You can’t make a great recording from a bad recording but sometimes you can make an improvement, or maybe make a great recording from a poor recording. Pros still record in soundproof studios with good equipment because there’s only so much you can with with software, even expensive-pro software.

The main tools are noise reduction and equalization. Audacity has a noise reduction tool (effect) and for equalization you there is Graphic EQ, Filter Curve, or Bass.

Professional remastering (and original digital mastering) usually involves dynamic compression (Audacity has a compressor and limiter) but many music lovers want to retain the original dynamics.

If you LIKE dynamics, you might even want to look for a dynamic expander plug-in. I don’t know of one that works with Audacity but I haven’t looked. And you can’t really restore the original dynamics of compressed recording, but again it’s one of those things that might make a slight improvement. …Note that dynamic compression is totally unrelated to file compression (such as MP3). You can get quality loss with MP3 but it does not damage the dynamics.

Analog recording constantly improved over time and it was excellent by the 1980s. The big limitation was the home formats (records & cassettes). With a “digital concert hall” I ASSUME they are adding reverb and perhaps some other effects or “enhancements”. Or, they MIGHT be placing microphones in a real concert hall to pick-up and mix-in more acoustic reverb than you get in a typical recording…
