New Arcane and Unfollowable Transfer / Record Making / Remaster Thread

I was fiddling around with an 88 railway station vid and managed to reduce noise almost totally with a combo of noise reduction, eq-ing and then adding reverb to compensate for the resulting flat sound.

Just how much noise I’ve taken out is particularly obvious when it gets pp near the end. Still think the denoised etc one lack a bit of body despite being IMMENSELY cleaner.

I was trying the de-rustle and de-wind features in Izotope but they didn’t really help.

Dramatically better!

Curious what Knars de noise AI stuff will do to modern noise? If you send me file I can see if I remember how to run it in collab.

original audio

should be no problem to dl it from this message (right click, save audio if on pc)

bear in mind this was extracted from the tweet and other than that I don’t have any access to what she recorded, which really complicated denoising seeing as I didn’t have any “no piano” background public noise sample to prime the denoiser with. I did some manual noise correction of various ambient noises as well.

Sounds same kinda

Yeah still quite noisy imo but I mean, it’s a very busy public place. It’s a miracle I got it the way I did and that was a several pass process and obviously I spent much more than a few mins on it…

Speaking of AI stuffs. I just tried Accentize DxRevive Pro to try to fix an old Cortot file. Oh boy… sheeeyat. It start making weird vowel sounds etc. Mildly satanic.

Haha I remember denoising stuff on my first album. Some really weird shit. Yes the hall was nominally locked off and no incidental noise but there were a few glitches. The best bit was the noise reduction which artefacted and left the impression of a ghost vomiting in the back of the hall.

We gotta wait until K nar start a company and solve all this just to have it cloned by the primary model owners and crushed I guess.

Grain in the loud notes is mainly from not having a good turntable and arm set up here. (handles vibes for shit) But otherwise, pretty sick.

The trick using BWE on a super tidy already cleaned up file with noise floor raised with some very flat white noise so it doesn’t extend freq of spurious shit outside piano sounds. Then mix back upsampled version back into the bands of OG nicest sounding master to balance the freq energy where it should go.

Damn these perfs are sick. The shaping of the top of the runs in 16 to the insanely girthy projection of 17. That melody must of hung in the hall 3D as fuck.

I do this from old laser transfer I find in my files.
