Question about Cool Edit Pro (filters?)

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Hello,

if i have 2 'identical' soundfragments, 1 ripped from CD and 1 recorded from
vinyl, where the vinyl recording has more low and less high frequencies, how
can i let Cool Edit Pro figure out what to do with the vinyl recording to
sound the same as the one ripped from CD?

Is there a plugin or something for this, so it can become an automatic
process?

Looking forward to your reply!

Best regards, Jurgen

Well, it will be more accurate and faster (only the first time of course)?

I think that you mean to ask how you might use the various equalizers
in CEP/Audition in order to make a song ripped from a CD sound more
like the same song transcribed from a LP.

While one might dream about having such a thing, back in the real
world...

....you have to use your ears and other tools at your disposal.

In the "other tools" department, is the CEP/Audition Frequency
Analysis tool.

One approach is to do a Frequency Analysis of the same portions of
each recording, and compare the results. If you apply equalization
based on that comparison using say the FFT Filter, you might get close
to what you are looking for.

Yes but it's not in Audition, unfortunately. It's a DX
plugin that is/was called FreeFilter from Steinberg. You
could create a third octave equalizer setting that was the
difference between two measured RTS runs. Can't speak to
how well it might work in practice.

You may download the demo of Har-Bal and let it look at the wave files.
