The Audacity 1.3.5 version I'm running has an effect called Bass Boost. You set which frequency you want to boost and how many dB to boost by. Very simple to use. Many thanks Stephen (The other). I have now located Audacity's Bass Boost in the Effects menu. I'll give this a try next time I

Greetings. The most probable reason for the lack of bass on copying from a vinyl might be the frequency design of vinyl players' heads. The piezo-electric heads have their whole frequency region over in the highs, but i assume it is not the case here, so you probably used a magnetic head.

O, with Linux the same applies, you need to install LADSPA plugins, depending on what you are running, in Debian apt-get install cmt tap-plugins . (installs main ladspa plugins, of course there are more). However, running Linux, personally i prefer Rezound to Audacity. For some reason the

As far as the Audacity platform, I'm all for free software, but the Samplitude platform allows you, if you choose, to gradually upgrade to professional software. But you can download the trial version and try both for free. As far as classical music goes--and early music in particular--there

I like Davis Taylor, but I prefer David Tayler What a DIVA!!! The reverbs on the first run are halo reverbs, they are meant to be slightly below the threshold of audibility, so that, paradoxically, they don't sound like reverb. This is especially true if you don't have the original, and

The Lexicon 90 or 91 is fine if you want a hardware box. It isn't worth buying one unless you are producing a lot of CDs, better to buy the SIR plugin or the cheapest version of Samplitude that has the room simulator built in. I'll make up a budget workflow later this week for MP3s, CDs and DVD
