Title: Help me clean a DV Audio Rip
Post by: Hunkadoodledoo on April 07, 2004, 11:09:09 PM
Okay....I am such a noob it isn't even funny.  I am probably a noob for calling myself a noob, but I digress.  I went to a Beloved, Underoath, Comeback Kid and Evergreen Terrace show and shot it with a miniDV camera I checked out from my school's media center.  I actually didn't shoot it, but a guy sitting next to the drummer shot it.  I would have liked to firewire the video to my HD and edit it, but I am cheap, so I plugged the camera into a Panasonic DVD recorder through S-video and composite cables.  I then used DVD2AVI to rip the audio to my HD.  Now, I want to take the audio, clean it up (it that is even possible) and remux it with the video to remaster the DVD.  I don't know the first step I should take.  I have CoolEdit Pro to work with.

I thought about splitting it into different frequencies to try to isolate the different instruments and then filter those tracks to get a clear sound for each instrument and THEN remix it all back together.  I am hoping that it isn't a lost cause.  Does anyone have any experience in cleaning up live audio?  Thanks for your help!

doesn't this process compress the audio to lossy Dolby Digital?

you could easily pick up a firewire pci card for like $20 or so, perhaps less on Ebay.
