Topic: Help me make this recording better!

[trplyr]

Taped Peter Himmelman on Thurs night. Show was either acoustic or piano and vocals...levels came out low...especially when he talked between songs.

heres a clip if what i've got:

http://www.mcpigeon.com/himmel.mp3

This has been amplified 7db and put through the "Classic Softknee" compression setting in Adobe Audition.

Any suggestions on 1) volume and 2)EQing?

I want to make this recording the best it can be seeing as though it isnt all that great. looking to make it a little more clear/crisp with the talking audible.

suggestions?

seems a little lite on bass for my ears, kinda tinty

[King Crimson]

download audacity and use the amplify, that always seems to work very well for me.

if it were me, id just normalize it, i dont like any compression, sounds dolby-ish, and thats not good IMO!!

normalize to 100% and be done w/ it

just normalize the sound level to 100%, which is 0db!
