So i did a mix on my PC (my best one yet i think) and i really dont want to scrap it, but i set my gain a bit too high and the bass is waaay too distorted...is there anyway i can run the file through a program to reduce the bass a bit for it to sound better?
Thanks! |

| Offhand, I can't think of a good way to do this. The bass is likely distorting because of clipping, and clipping generates higher frequency harmonics than the clipped signal. Those harmonics probably overlap with other instruments in the music, so it would be difficult to remove or suppress the distorted bass without removing or suppressing actual parts of the music. |

| K so i reduced the gain when encoding to -6 dB of the original, and increased the kbps from 192 to 320...sounds fine now:) |

| Yea, if it clipped that means you're trying to recover info that's not there. So you can try some tricks to mask the clipping a bit, but there is no way you're going to be able to get it to sound like the original. This is why it's crucial to watch the levels when you're recording a mix. When I do it I usually give myself a bit of headroom so I'm not running right up against the limit the whole time. |

Digital clipping ( when the signal hits 0 db ) is what happened to you.
No fix around unfortunately.
You should always record couple dbs under so you'll be able to do some extra compression or work later on. |
