I have a home-recorded video where I sing and play guitar over a looping track. The main thing I need is for the percussion to sit up front again: it sounds strong the first time the beat enters, then fades away. As soon as I trigger the drum loop I want that punchy volume to stay consistent right to the end. Alongside that, you’ll hear some background hiss, a slightly muffled overall tone and a few places where levels jump around. If you can clean that up—removing the noise, brightening the mix a touch and evening out the balance—great. I’d also love the little vinyl-style scratching effect to cut through a bit more without overpowering the guitar or vocal. If it helps the groove, feel free to nudge the percussion back into perfect sync with the performance; the tighter the loop feels against the strumming, the better. Deliverables • Restored and mastered audio track with audible, consistent percussion from the moment the beat starts • Optional re-synced version where the drum loop locks perfectly to the performance (preferred) • Final mix laid back under the existing video or supplied as a high-quality WAV/AIFF stem I can drop in myself I’m not after miracles—just a clearer, more energetic mix. Use whatever you’re comfortable with (Adobe Audition, Logic, Pro Tools, RX, etc.). Let me know what you need from me and how quickly you can turn it around.

Hello! First of all, great performance! If the attachment files are the only ones I will work with, I can improve the audio significatively; however, as you mentioned, don't expect miracles. Ideally, you should record the guitar without the drums in it, and then you pass me the drum stem separately, so that I can ensure a great mix and sound quality. But of course we can totally work with this. Since this is the situation, I can give you a hand without charging too much, since this will be a piece of cake for me, to be honest. Feel free to reach out in the chat and ask anything before accepting my bid! Best regards, Martin Cacho

Percussion Boost & Audio Cleanup — I'll tighten your loop so the percussion punches consistently from first hit to last, clean the hiss, brighten the muffle, and lock the groove to your strumming — delivered as a drop-in WAV (and re-synced version) so you can finish the video today. While my freelancer profile highlights video editing & motion graphics, audio cleanup/sync is baked into every talking-head, podcast, and music-driven project I deliver (50+ projects, 5.0 stars, 100% on-time). I work in Audition/RX daily: spectral noise reduction, multiband compression for presence, clip-gain leveling for consistent percussion, and warp-marker sync to lock loops to performance. My process: Diagnose & clean — Spectral repair for hiss, de-muffle with subtle EQ, gain-ride the drum loop so it never fades. Sync & enhance — Nudge loop to grid/performance, boost scratch effect clarity without masking guitar/vocal, glue with light bus compression. Deliver — Mastered WAV/AIFF stem + optional re-synced version + note on settings used. Turnaround: 24h from file receipt. Send the session/export and I'll return a before/after clip so you hear the fix before final delivery.

Hi! I’d be happy to help improve your home-recorded performance and bring the mix to life while keeping the original feel of the song. I understand that the main focus is making the percussion stay punchy and consistent throughout the track while maintaining balance with the guitar and vocals. I can help with noise reduction, EQ adjustments, volume balancing, dynamic control, and enhancing the vinyl-style effects without overpowering the main performance. I can also work on tightening the drum loop timing with the performance if needed to create a smoother groove. I’ll aim for a cleaner, brighter, and more energetic final mix while preserving the natural character of your recording. I’m detail-oriented and can deliver the restored audio track or a ready-to-use version synced with your video.

A natural-sounding restoration comes from enhancing the performance without making it feel overprocessed. The percussion should stay present throughout the track while the vocal and guitar remain balanced, so the mix feels energetic without losing its live character. I'd start by correcting the drum loop level, reduce the background hiss, improve the overall clarity, smooth out volume inconsistencies, and bring the scratching effect forward where it adds texture. If needed, I'd also tighten the percussion timing against the guitar so the groove feels more cohesive, then deliver a mastered mix along with a version synced to your existing video or as a high-quality WAV for easy replacement. Could you share the original video or separate audio tracks, and is the drum loop already on its own track or mixed into the recording??
