There's some distortion in the sax sound at 2.44.
Maybe in the recording chain, maybe spit sound
from the sax, maybe a MP3 artifact. Whatever it
is, the eq'd version emphasises it.
If its spit, its not distortion. Since you don't
know, your comment is meaningless.
Not worth arguing. "Unwanted sound" then.
Accurate use of words seems to be a lost art around
here.
Have a listen.
I have already listened to my own track, and compared
it to the fiction that Kitty posted here. He didn't
implement my recommendation exactly. Besides, my
recommendation was a just first cut, not a recipie
for a finished, mastered recording.

Wake up THICKO..!!

I only recorded the clarinet - I mixed NOTHING, I EQ'd
NOTHING.

What is this?

It's your suggestion EQ'd by *Iain* and sent to me for
purposes of posting a 'before and after'/'better or
worse' comparison'!


The key point being that this is not a file that I
produced, or advised or consented to. In short, its
something that Iain cobbled together for
less-than-honorable purposes.


It is a file that was produced according to the
instructions given by you in this thread.


I see considerable evidence that my instructions were bungled. It was pretty
simple - compare the FFT of the original file, to your file, to my file.
Yours departs from mine in the lower midrange, even where the boost should
only be a fraction of a dB.

Your consent is not required.


That's right Iain - I have the right to point out your dishonesty and
malfeasance, not to mention consummate technical incompetence.

Iain if I don't consent, then it is consummately dishonest of you to
attribute the file to me in any sense.

You offered advice to Keith which was implemented.


No, it was bungled.

How could Keith or anyone else evaluate your suggestion
without hearing it?


Pardon me but I'm used to working with people that can take advice like this
and understand both its purpose (guidance), and also implement it without
shooting themselves in the foot.

If your instructions were incorrect, and your own version
sounds different please post it. It will make an
interesting comparison.


In the current context, I'd be insane to post any audio files anywhere that
you can obtain them Iain, due to your maleveolence and/or incompetence. And
ditto for Laurence, because he has no tolerance for real-world people who
love music but are not necessarily the greatest experts in the world.
