Bob,over the past year (when I had time) I have been "re-mastering" recordings for a fellow musician. The source material consists of vinyl recordings of his earlier performances over the years (1955 through 1966). I agree with Mac about going for the overall feel (your ear) and know when to stop, as there are a lot of challenges doing what we do with semi pro equipment. I have had good success using Power Tracks (PGMusic) and Spin It Again $35.00 (www.acoustica.com). I use spinit to record the source music. This software has decrackle/declick, tape hiss/hum reduction, etc. So this gives me a reasonable clean track to work from. Challenges I've had: 1955 recordings (high school choir)were at 78 rpm so I had to record at 45 rpm and use algorithms in spinit to replay back at 78 to get the original recording sound. 1961 jazz band has a pimple on it from poor storage so had to deal with "thud", again spinit has some de-noise choices that helped with preliminary noise reduction. 1963 recordings are of symphonic band consequently the dynamics are killer, in locating "tracks", again spinit will do a preliminary track location for me.
After I have the tracks recorded I run them into PT if needed, reverb, stereo bounce, etc.. This is a VERY condensed version of what is involved, I mention it because I "am-no-masterer"! That is another whole skill set. But I can do a reasonable job with the above tools. Although I haven't used realband it has de-esser, reverb, etc utiliites, same as PT. I encourage you to give it a try. The main thing is to get a good copy of your original work, take a copy of that, then experiment by running your work copy through different preset utilities, sometimes that is all that is needed. Wishing you patience, care, and good ears! DennisD
