I know this might sound crazy, but do you/laddo have the song? Ie; a high quality wav or CD rather than just a Youtube rip. Might get better results, can’t polish a turd and all that. And if he’s gonna be playing it loud it’s gonna sound like garbage. No matter what you do with it.
We have the itunes download and it has been burned onto a CD, not sure on the bitrate from a Itunes issue though
If you want to try and rip a copy of that at the highest quality you can, I’ll give it a go with that.
I’ve been playing around with the MP3 I ripped from youtube, the information above 3k is very noise on it(horrible sounding if you just listen to that, I know noise at that level is harsh on it’s own, but it’s very phaser-y not nice, it’s where the white noise if coming from once the vocals dissappear, filling that hole, you can hi pass it out, but makes for an even more muffled recording..). Dunno if it’s just a poorly recorded song or it’s just the youtube upload, could be the later, but it’s very difficult to isolate anything even below that(where musical part on that MP3 lives).
The vocals are sitting in a range of about 700 to 2k,and the bagpipes are sitting no too dissimilar hence why you lose them (both have lower fundamentals, but that’s roughly where most audible bits are sitting on both parts.) So the problem there is having to scoop out a large section of the song to make those disappear, you lose a lot of important elements.
