Notes I must have not plugged my microphone into the iRiver properly for this recording, because there were horrible static clicks scattered throughout the file and the left channel was virtually empty (it only had a little bit of audio here-and-there amongst the static - other thanthat it was dead air).

So, in order to get this listenable, I first deleted the left channel and copied the right (so I now have dual channel mono). Then I went through to every static click, zoomed in as far as I could and replaced the static with silence. Of course, Cool Edit doesn't let you replace your selection with silence, so I had to open the Generate Noise dialogue, copy the duration to the clipboard (usually something like .013854875 or .142199546 seconds) then close that, go to Generate Silence and paste in the duration. That way the audio gaps are still the same length as they were and won't interrupt the tempo of the songs.




Now I had pretty much a regular audio file, so I normalised it up to 115%, copied one of the channels, saved it as a mono file (which I should have just done in the first place) and tracked it as per usual.

All in all, it turned out a lot better than I thought it was going to. I thought it was going to be a wasted recording. Sound is pretty bassy for the first 4 or so songs, then gets better.
