Jonny Minidisc Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 (edited) I recorded a blues show using Sound Pro SPSM-4 mics (single point stereo) into a battery module and into a Sony RH10 Hi-MD portable. Trouble is, I accidentally (and stupidly) plugged the battery module into itself and the mics directly into the RH10. The recording (made in PCM mode) came out basically fine--the frequency response was there and the meters showed the levels peaking near the top end. But when I played it back, it sounded like the levels had been set too low--hissy and lacking "punch." I'm assuming this is because the mics weren't plugged into the battery module (I don't know if the RH10's plug-in power supplies enough juice to the mics).Is there any way to get the levels sounding back up to where they should be?Thanks!

greenmachine Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 (edited) Of course, upload the recording and use an audio editor to normalize it. Personally, I use Adobe Audition, but there are freeware solutions such as Audacity as well. Edited April 25, 2005 by greenmachine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Audacityhttp://audacity.sourceforge.nethas a number of possibilities under Effect, including a straightfoward Amplify, Normalize (which will even out the level of the recording), Equalization, Bass Boost and filters. Highlight the passage you want to play with (or Select All) and you can apply the effects. The only kink with Audacity is terminology: instead of Save, you need to use "Export to (.wav,.mp3, .ogg)" to save your file in a standard format.
