Here's the deal...I am currently only patching from SBDs as I have no mics. I am using a JB3 and an AD-20. Most of the time the recordings sound good. However, the band I archive for recently got their own SBD and the show I taped the other night has loud keys, bass, and drums but very low guitars. I can't do anything about this while recording obviously because the sound is mixed for the room, not for the recording. But now that I have it on my computer is their anything I can do to boost those frequencies? I know a little about boosting using Soundforge and will try that if no one has any suggestions. I am thinking that as long as I patch into boards I am going to be stuck with whatever sound comes out and there is little I can change later. I am open to suggestions though. Thanks.

Unlikey you can recover stuff like that...

Yep, if your bass and/or treble knob won't fix it, there's not much you can do.

If you know what you are doing you can try to compress that frequence. You can easily kill a recording by doing that but soundboards usually sounds pretty dead anyway.
I have succeded sometimes and failed sometimes but it might be worth a shot.
Send me a PM and I´ll send you a e-mail addy where you can send me a MP3 and I´ll se what I can do with it and hopefully guide you through the process if it works.

I'm not sure, but maybe you could play around with a parametric EQ. I don't know how much it coul help, but you might be able to give the guitars a little more punch with it.

T-Racks 24 is a great program to use for this. It's a total sound mastering suite. I've actually improved a SBD recording I've done.
One of the sections in there can help boost the guitar and also the voice.
