Audio equalisation

[sheffgb]

I recorded some stuff for gcse music, we did it all in school, and one of our tasks was to record a song as a group, so we did House of the Rising Sun by the Animals, but the guitar is really quiet, and all I have is the mp3. The work has already been submitted, so its not a big issue, but I was wondering if it was possible to turn the guitar up? I'd like to submit it to newgrounds.

Thanks for any replies. :D

If you still have the original seperate trecordings it would be ALOT easier. But otherwis eyour best bet, is to record the freq, of the guitar playing some notes, Find the freq and use and a freq amp via a sound editing program like audacity. Otherwise if theres a solo at some point with the guitar you can find it as well. Otherwise Your gonna have to be pretty well adapted to certain programs.

Find the frequency were the guitar lies and then boost it, or lower all the frequencies around it. I might be able to help more if you told me what software you have available to you.

Ok, thanks for your replies, guys, I sorted it out :D

I don't clearly understand your assignment in the way you described it, but i can say this:
Any sort of audio file that you attempt to mangle through more processing and converterting should be at the best quality possible. If at all possible (goto a library or something), get the original CD and convert the song to a 24-bit .WAV audio file.

Something about equalizing the guitar part to make it sound louder? Guitars live in the 400Hz - 2kHz range of the audio spectrum. Its the box factor. cutting 400Hz-500hz will tamper with the toms. EQing in the 400 - 2k range will also affect vocals.
