Newbie Attempting to remove bass -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Newbie Attempting to remove bass Posted by: DorianDW Date:9/8/2003 8:34:08 PM I have some live recordings with a really horrible thumping and buzzing bass (you can just barely hear the words in the songs). I downloaded the Sonic Foundry Trial to see if it would remove the problem, but I know nothing about working with sound. Could someone talk (type) me through the steps to fix the recordings? So I could buy the program with confidence that it'll do what I need it to. Or maybe direct me to a website that would explain it simply. I tried the program help files, but they used a lot of technical terms that I don't understand yet. Dorian

Send to SPAMdon-mcgeeSPAM@att.net (take out the "SPAM" from the address).

Most spam-bot harvesters are probably intelligent enough to remove "SPAM" and "NOSPAM" types of strings when they see them.
Subject:RE: Newbie Attempting to remove bass Reply by: mcgeedo Date:9/9/2003 12:45:07 PM Thanks, Chien. You know, I should have been smart enough to figure that out. Goes to show you that an old dog CAN learn a new trick. Thanks, -Don
