Remastering old mixtapes in Ableton: Simple Plug-in Chain!!

[@JoyRideNewZealand]

Very hard to find this kind of good advice. Well done!

Glad it was helpful!

My dude! Please please share the final mix of the tape for download!!! Ive started recording all my old tapes from the 90s and sharing with friends from the rave days

[@whrecordings]

I did this one for a friend and I'm not sure if it ever got posted anywhere, he just wanted it for his own collection/preservation. But...I'll check with him and either way probably can get a link up for it! It's an amazing early to mid 90's triphop/downtempo mix. 😁

question, im remastering one of my old songs and its just terrible. Really loud, a whole lot of reverb. what would be a simple approach to this ?

[@whrecordings]

Try throwing on some hard compression with fast attack & release settings, that should reduce some of the reverb and overall volume. There's also plug-ins out there to specifically remove reverb, never tried 'em myself. Could also try the X-noise plug-in I talk about at around 2 minutes, that's really good for isolating and removing "noise" in your track.

@@whrecordings thanks man ! im going to take a look into those and yeah I ended up following what you did taking notes from what you said and applied them accordingly to what I was doing but now you put it in perspective.

@@kalithevagabond246 Yw! Keep in mind that what I did on this is the opposite of what your trying to do in a way (boosting a very quiet recording), but the noise reduction and compression aspects can still apply. Good luck!
