>What is LinMB?
a WAVES multiband plugin
>The version you remastered sounds much louder and helps the voice shine, but is a bit harsh in the hi end on my system.
this is for 2 reasons:
1) as jazzius (who is the PRO here) tells, there is already distortion in the voice and when I enhance the sound so much, this will come out really heavy.
2) I do only demo processing 16bit no upsampling, so there is rounding errors. It wouldn't become a commercially useful version anyway, but rocks the boom box. also mp3 coding a second time (and you used already a very small bitrate yourself) destroys the high end.
>Over all it illustrates your point about multiband compression if I understand correctly.
yes, my opinion is, with less than perfect tracks we can try the automatics at first, before we micro-tweak every other word or drum hit.
>What did you use to do this?
FFT hand drawn EQ, hand drawn HF dynamic restoration, de-esser, reverb, multiband compressor, 30band EQ.
with 32bit/96k it would take much too long...
but this way you can see the end of the tunnel come shimmering
