Cleaning up live recordings using Audacity and LMMS.

So here's the deal: The band Thrice has this song called A Song For Milly Michaelson. It's based on that flick I never saw called The Boy Who Could Fly.

 

I discovered today that Thrice also sometimes performed live renditions of the song using a more lively style than the actual song. Unfortunately there are NO fully clean live or studio recordings of the song. So I took it upon myself to attempt to clean up the best recording I could find on YouTube. So without further ado, here's the ORIGINAL STUDIO RECORDING of the song:

 

 

 

 

Here's the live performance I found of the song:

 

 

 

 

And finally, the mostly-cleaned-up version I did using Audacity and LMMS:

I used the Noise Removal function from Audacity, the DJ EQ plugin in LMMS, a teeny-tiny bit of reverb, and a compressor to keep it from constantly clipping.

 

I'm DEFINITELY going to use this to clean up more crap, because it worked surprisingly well. I mean, it's not perfect. Far from it, in fact. BUT, it's far better than always hearing chatter always in the background.
