Hi folks.

How would I fix this in Audition :



Is there a compressor built in that can pull the levels up for me?

Thanks,

Rikki

I cant say specifically with audition, but generally speaking:

1. Boost it with an eq, just filter it over and over picking out what sounds louder and better, and leaving out the inevitable static frequencies and degredation your going to get from boosting. Hell, if you wanted to be lazy you could just do a full level boost on it, it would inevitably have the same effect.

2. Run it through a normalizer and/or compressor (your choice) to get rid of all those nasty peaks you just created boosting it

Result: It will still be a bit 'flat' as far as recordings go, but it wont be super quiet anymore

Thats the easiest way to go about it anyways. Im sure there are most super cool high-tech ways to do it, but I can do all that with cooledit if I had to.

Im guessing your levels went to low when mixing or something just do it manualy. It doesnt take that long if u dont rush because if you try rush it your gonna end up having fix it again.

I'm not sure what you are asking for. Do you want to raise the levels on certain parts of the recorded set, where the levels are low (because it seems that you need to work on the levels when mixing), or do you just want to raise the leveles on the entire set? I don't use Audition/Cool Edit so I wouldn't know, but in Sound Forge you raise the levels via Process => EQ => Graphic/Paragraphic/Parametic. Look for something silimar in Audition, I'm sure you'll find it.

Hi folks,

Sorry for post, I should have been clearer.



The part at the beginning is fine, in blue, but then where it is in the red box the levels dropped off quite a lot. I was wondering if there was a compressor / limiter function built in that would automatically go through the mix and bring everything up the way it should be.

A kinda magic bullet LOL

Thanks,

R.

It's always cool to see how people are looking to get the best out of their mixes. TA's tend to be more switched on than your average DJ and this is no exception.

However, at this point I would probably re-record the darn thing if I were you. It will do you more good from a DJing point of view than editing the thing after.
Try and prevent these things from happening in the first place and work on that rather than faffing about sorting it afterwards.

There are still things you can do with a mix after it's recorded like compression, eqing and using a limiter. It will give you a nice rounded well balanced sound but make sure that what you have to work with prior to that is as good as it possibly can be.

Cheers
Nem

Good Advice

Make sure the track your mixing in is equal volume [in Decibels] as the current playing track, you should be able to see the volume level on your mixer.

Yeah thats what I thought to be honest.

To be fair (and to pass the buck) the problem area happened when my friend took his turn on the decks (it was a back to back kinda thing) and the levels were shitty on his copy of Glam's Hells Party.

Thanks peeps.
