Tricks for enhancing a vocal from room ambient YouTube audio towhatever extent it can be done
Let's say you've got audio that's recorded via - dynamic mic
speakers ambient sound into a webcam mic rather than some direct-in type of setup. It's basically clean as far as no greatly obnoxious artifacting, camera noise, outside traffic, but it is what it is - a lot of muddy room ambience, limited frequency range etc. I'm sure you get the idea. The ultimate goal is a just for fun project to mix the vocal with a karaoke track. It's already in the right key. Other than playing with EQ to take out some of the room mud and boost some of the freq's a little, any suggestions for sow's ear/silk purse tweaking of audio like this? Thanks for all input |

Cut off the top end. Cut off the bottom end. Arrange the tracks that you are adding to fit into the missing frequency ranges of the vocal track.

If it sounds boxy, add more reverb with a pre-delay. You'll get a sound that is still way too reverberant, but it won't sound boxy if you are careful to pick it up so the reverb starts at about the time the close reflections on the original stop. It'll sound better in the mix than it does solo. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

You can't unscramble an egg. You might be able to do something with single-ended noise reduction, but probably not ( and very much not without flangey artifacts ). Single-ended NR is like what Adobe Audition offers - you snatch a segment of room tone, then it "subtracts" that from the signal. -- Les Cargill |
