If Nick was around, he'd tellya, re-record. :twisted:

I can't help but think there's gonna be more noise in the low sections? Or more room sound, anyway? Not sure if that's relevant, but ...

I'm sure he would, he'd be wrong, but I'm sure he would :D

Actually Scodiddly hit it, a fast attack slow release compressor brought up the quiet passages, and didn't make too much difference to the loud parts, sounds OK. Better than my inverse gated addition thing did.

It's just to make rehersal tapes more listenable, so we can figure stuff out easier, I said that at the start it wasn't for a finished product.

I also figured it might be one of those things that people did all the time, but maybe not.
The previous statement is from a guy who records his own, and other projects for fun. No money is made.

I do what MoreSpaceEcho said, just break up the track into songs/parts and then address them individually.

BTW, it's one of the best tools I know of to speed up the band's progress, both because you have something to hear and evaluate, but you can also practice to.

Compressor/limiter, vocal rider, or chop and adjust gain. Adding polarity reverse seems like a bad idea to me.
