andyb Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I recorded a concert recently using a portable recorder namely the Zoom H2, the recording is pretty good quality considering the device was in my front pocket. Is there a way or a program i can use to make my recording sound better i.e. less of the people talking more of the music and how would i go about doing this / what programs would i use? Any advice or recommendations considered thanks.

Any advice or recommendations considered thanks. there really isn't a way to remove only crowd noise from a recording but you can use things like equalization and compression plugins/effects to 'clean up' the source recording. I've done this with a few bootlegs of Autechre live shows and i think the result was a big improvement Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide awepittance's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/46176-live-concert-recording/#findComment-1055232 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can load up a graphical eq with like 32 bands and play around with bringing up and down certain bands to see if a particular sweet spot in the sound needs to be lessened or amplified. There are more difficult to use Eqs called 'parametric' which use movable bands that can be altered . These take a little more skill but once you get the hang of what the knobs do its not hard to play around /experiment with bringing up and down random frequency ranges. Get a program like Stienberg wave-lab or something like Sound Forge or Cooledit pro, are you on a PC or a mac?
