i recorded a set of a major techno dj yesterday at the club, i want to correct the distortion...

is there any software that can do it?

I used my new IRiver IHP-120 hooked thru the line in to the pioneer mixer.

thanks in advance :)

You can limit the amount so it isnt over powering, but if the sound is distorted by the time it hits the recording software you are not in good shape.

Limiters/compressors and such help to reduce the signal in clubs and radiostations before the signal goes to any amplification system. Unless there is some newfangled software out there, I would say you are SOL

Also BTG when recording, test out the levels on your mixer in conjunction with sound recorded quality. IE

+3 db = Distorted
+1 db = Distorted
0 db = Borderline
-1 db = Clean
-3 db = Clean
-5 db = Clean
-7 db = Clean
-10db = Clean
-20db = Clean


Confused? When you mix try to keep the lights in and under one of those. On my mixer to get a clean recording I have to keep the queued volume at or below -3 db so the record output will be completely distortion free.


If that is confusing let me know and I will try to explain better

Steinberg Clean is reasonable at removing disortion

Sloouh
The simple answer is, you can't. The recording will have the tops taken off all the waveforms (If you are talking about clipping distortion due to too high input levels) and these can't be put back on, well they might be able to but I know not how. Maybe some of these audio clean up programs could do a botch job on it. My suggestion is just next time learn from your mistake, watch the levels, try and find some way of attenuating the input into your MP3 player.

isn't there a device able to atenuate the signal from the mixer?
