help removing distortion from mp3s

August 6th, 2016

hello. i’m wondering if anybody can please help me with the following problem:
i just downloaded a concert i recently recorded and it was clear right away that i had the levels turned up way too high. as a result, many of the songs have some degree of distortion (here’s a sample: https://safelinking.net/p/575b547604).
i’m wondering if it’s possible to have the recording cleaned up at all. i’m not technologically savvy — this was actually my first ever attempt at bootlegging a show — but from everything i’ve read it seems like there’s no way to correct this issue.
i can’t tell you how grateful i’d be if somebody could help me make this recording even slightly better. if more information’s needed please let me know. thank you so much.

Sorry bro – there is very little you can do to remove overmodulation (distortion) from a recorded signal. You could try to roll off the high end to try to tame those non-harmonic overtones but don’t expect anything you will be happy with.
