I'd already tried that and didn't like the result. > Here's the edited one run through Audacity with a noise sample taken from > the end of the file, plus the high-pass filter. > > Of course mp3-to-mp3 makes it uglier, but if you work with your original > wav/aiff it will be much better. > > Enough cluttering up the list with audio stuff, yes? :) > > <http://maltedmedia.com/recordings/Morley-Aria-Edited-dbk2.mp3> Well, that has the same harshness in the treble viol that bothers me about my own efforts with Audacity -- I'd prefer to have the rumble than to lose the "roundness" of the sound. I know that it oughtn't have an effect (since it's at a frequency below the fundamental of the notes being played), but I hear a major difference in the WAV files. Cutting out the rumble means making the result more harsh, at least when done with Audacity. Besides, I'd have to do it for every single track on the recording, and I just don't have the time. BTW, I'm THRILLED that nobody could find my splice. I don't have great tools for this kind of thing (I used Audacity to split the file into Beginning/End/Middle WAVs and then sewed them back together with the Exact Audo Copy WAV editor, which works better for me in that regard than Audacity itself). This kind of thing is *much* more difficult than I'd ever imagined -- it's quite complicated figuring out where the notes begin and end (though the <> shape of viol notes make it a lot easier!).
