My friend gave me a his project to mix and arrange a little bit. When I started listening to it, everything seemed to be OK, except for the guitars. They were recorded through a ZOOM processor and to say they sounded awful would be an understatement. The obvious choice would be to re-record them, but I was wondering is there anyway to make them sound at least slightly better without having to rr it. Here is a single rythm guitar clip:
Grrr, I used to record with Zoom Processors a long time ago. Horrible sound for recording guitars.
Anyway, the file is in pretty a bad shape and I don't think you will come to a good result there. However I tried to work on it for a little while and by using a 24 band EQ with it, came to this result:
Don't know if it is any better really. I just tried to reduce these tons of white noise over 6 KHz, cut the unecessary bass-sound beneath 250 Hz and added a lot of gain to the lower mids and mids at 300 Hz and from ca.400 to ca. 1000 Hz with a pike at 800 Hz.
Hopefully you have a nice bass track to drown(sp) out those GTR's...
I put it through voxengo curve eq on my 'clayman' setting, then into pristine space then curve eq again...not as manual as Kosh's effort but it sorta sounds ok...just
