software to 'maculate' sound

[Andrew Brouse]

Hello microsoundies,

I am looking for a tool to aid in the 'maculation' of all audio that  
enters my ears.
I am finding the immaculate quality of the sounds entering my ears  
recently to be unnerving - I am sure that 'someone' is up to  
'something'.

I have attempted to put insects directly into my ears but they just  
died.
It would be great to hear just the insect without any distractions  
such as human speech.

I have tried many polishing tools but nothing seems to do the trick.
Any help that anyone can offer to help me to solve my problem would  
be greatly appreciated.

I thank you copiously in advance,
Andrew

Hello Andrew,

    I'm aware of what you mean. You did state software, yet a common  
quick industry fix is routing the signal to tape , or at least  
preamps or a mixer , then recording to a fresh file.

   There are many solutions , dependant on the needs and the intended  
outcome.Part of the problem, for me anyway, is in the mental  
discipline of aiming at an imaginary point of degradation. Perhaps a  
helpful analogue is deciding how messy you're going to get before a  
social event.

    Some useful software might include chebshev distortion , the  
Studio Devil british valve custom, and phase reversal if more than  
one channel is at work.

  Also bit reduction and lower sampling rates add 'body'. Sometimes  
minute adjustments in several stages produce a desirable result, sing  
what you feel is missing then find the frequency of the note and work  
with that.


   If you're really fed up record it to tape and stuff it in a corner  
for ten years by which time it will probably sound amazing.


                                                          bill
