Cleaned Rafi Songs, I would like to share Options

[kistin]

Hello,

In this topic, I'll just try to share my work with all brothers/sisters in this forum.

My work consists of obtaining as clean old Hindi songs as possible, because I have a project of presenting the best of them to Ambassador of India, his excellency, in my country, Turkey.

I have worked on this project about one year. Now, I have approximately 40-50 songs cleaned in my archive.

Two days ago, I downloaded a Rafi song elsewhere in this forum and working on it about 6 hours I obtained a cleaned version and I want to share it with all.

The song is Aaj Socha Hai Khayaalon Mein

I would be happy if you criticize it

Regards

TeddyBear Ji, I do agree with your point. I have also tried to clean some songs (of course I am not an engineer and use basic softwares lke Sound Forge) but almost every time that I try to reduce the background noise from a recording, the song looses some of it's originality and the sound almost seems as if it is coming from a source that is refraining it from coming out properly. So, the vocals and the music sounds subdued and rather flat. As a result I no longer use the Noise Reduction effect except at a very low scale. Otherwise, I think that adding Echo and Reverb are much better in terms of giving a song some freshness and making the sound richer.

I hope my comments above make some sense. I am almost a layman in terms of the science and technology involved in Sound Editing or Processing.

Legendrafi Bhai,
You are right about echo and reverb, but in that case the output becomes like a "rearrangement" rather than being original. A few years ago I applied them, but didn't like the results. Therefore, now I usually keep away from doing that.
