I have an audio book mp3 file, and when I play it, it sounds like the narrator is in a tunnel or in something that vibrates...LOL..it's terrible..there is no way I can listen to that for 10 hours..:) Is there anyway to fix the sound so its not so weird? I played the file through my sound card, and using the eax feature it comes out not too bad..however I don't want to sit at my computer to listen to this book...is there any kind of program/software that can fix the sound and resave it so I can burn it to a disc and use?

You can always use a Sound Editor such as Audacity !! It has under EFFECTS ~~ a series of filters you can use to remove or attenuate that Tunnel Effect and other annoying things you may have.

it's available here :-

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

? and it is FREE ~~

Great I am downloading it now...and will play with it to see if I can get these files sounding better..
Any ideas of what effect would remove the tunnel effect..or whatever it might be...basically it simply sounds the craps! hehe...
thanks so much :)

Your best friend when you use that program is the UNDO Arrow -- means you can try a filter... listen to it.. and if you not happy.. click that Undo Arrow ~~ smiles.

Pretty hard for me to suggest a filter to use -- I have'nt heard your file ;; but if it's a low frequency -- too much of it--- you can use High Pass filters.

Good Luck in your editing.

I tried the High Pass filter and it did not help I then after a lot of experimentation I tried a combination of the Hard Limiter, wahwah, and the normalizer. It didn't really do very much at all.. I sure is frustrating...lol...and of course after a time your ears starting making your head THINK that the file is sounding better...lol..

Maybe its not possible to make some mp3s sound better? Like I said its really weird because just through the sound card and the eax setting of "living room" it sounds pretty good...

Also I have an audio book who's volume is very low..when I play it I have to really crank up the volume.. is it possible to change the volume with out re-recording it? As in make the change with audacity and just resave it..?

thanks..:)
