Re: Lowering Bass
You might be able to do it in audacity by running it through the E Q. If we can't look at ourselves, and ask, why? then where does the learning start? - Original Message - From: Dean Masters dwmaster...@gmail.com To: PC Audio Pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Friday, February 07, 2014 3:55 PM Subject: Lowering Bass I have recorded a few cassettes from my stereo to my PC.

Re: Lowering Bass
Hi, I must just say. Audacity! It's bass thingy just does the track so smootly and transperent.

In goldwave, go to Effects, Filter, Equalizer. From the presets, select Inverse RIAA EQ curve. The effect was to remove too much base and boost the treble too much, so I modified the numbers a bit.

RE: Lowering Bass
Hi all, In the same effects menu within the latest Goldwave, you have options to boost bass, remove base, reduce base, and for that matter do the same to mid and treble. This has the advantage over Norman Octon's solution, that you play with one end of the dynamic range at a time. In his example, by improving the base you can have problems with the treble. There again, if the result of his solution is too much treble, you can reduce it. And, of course, if you don't like the results of your action wen you hear them, you can always undo.
