Hi all

I want to take a song that I made in EX and converted to wave, dragged into a software and boosted to CD volume/quality.

Which best free software can I use for this?

thanx

If you sample your song in Extreme it will give you wave already good enough.

Now what exactly do you want to do?

If you mean to raise the song's quality by editing it in some software, and if that song is one single wave (meaning you didn't record each timbre/sound separately, but altogether) then you won't achieve much.

Audacity is free wave editor. Has some basic options, some filters, noise reduction, but nothing spectacular.

Here is the link for free download:

thanx Shrike

basically wanted to get the levels up some more as compared to commercial CD output levels..

would have done everything via the extreme and jus wanted to pull that wave created in extreme into some software to boost it.

BTW Shrike, I play alot of horns right, if u r creating a horn section (trumpet, alto sax, trombone and maybe tenor sax) what will your panning and levels be like?

bearing in mind that taste might be slightly different (interms of levels)

thanx

You can normalize your sample in Extreme's sampler, gain it for a few dB until you are satisfied, but you can do it in Audacity too.

If you are going to record more than one song and compile those songs to one CD, then it would be good to apply normalization in Audacity so you can be sure they are all in the same peak level.

About panning horns, depends on which of those are solo, which are background sounds. Let's say that trumpet is solo, I would pan trumpet slightly to R or L, so in stereo field it would be moved from a vocal for a bit, and if trombone and saxes are background, I would pan them to opposite side of trumpet, saxes to same field position and trombone even more further to side, away from the center. Also differences in volume would depend on those settings, background instruments lower, solo high etc etc.

But this is mastering violence, all of this really depends on music you are creating and each piece would probably have its own unique setting.

NORMALIZING is a wrong step, normalizing is not used to get it LOUD its just
to fix small gaps. With normalizing you gonna PEAK it up and it will suck.
Recorded somewhere, no matter what software, you have to increase gain
with a Limiter or Maximizer, not Normalize function.

Of course, you are right, but I assumed he won't gain that wave to be twice as louder, just maybe a little adjustments. But your approach is the right one.

Huh?

[shrike]

Hahahahahahahaha

Don't worry, kabuchi, it's something in our language, I could have asked him "hey man where have you been lately, looks like you bought Oasys so are nowhere to be found", but it doesn't sound the same. (this is the translation, so you don't think we hide something from you.)

next time we write, you say hello to us by "djesi shrike" or "djesi nedime" and you will use our language too.

Everything cleared now, my friend?

Best regards, shrike
