theroacheart Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Does anyone know of an AI program (or if it is even possible) which would load some Led Zeppelin bootlegs through, and get better quality? I'm not talking about fiddling with the EQ, boosting signals, but actually fixing or recreating the shows based on the rough recordings available? There are so many shows I would love to hear better versions of, and this seems like a good use of AI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many shows I would love to hear better versions of, and this seems like a good use of AI. Like taking an audience recording of 6/25/72 and making it sound like the official tracks from that show on How The West Was Won at the press of a button? If so, what you're asking for doesn't currently exist, at least publicly. However, a form of AI has made it possible to break songs into the component instruments, which then can be used to turn mono recordings into stereo mixes. This is particularly useful on soundboards, and it's what I use to remix things like the sample below. There's still a lot of manual effort to remaster the songs after they're mixed to stereo, so it's not nearly as simple as asking AI to do all of the work for you. However, it lets us do things that were not even possible five years ago, so it's incredibly useful, just not perfect. Yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rm2551 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 It is unquestionably possible if not right now, in the near future. I imagine where there are two or more sources it would help. Even if there were far better sources on a different night of the tour (same set up and tone etc.) AI could use that information to build something far better. But how how much detail is lost would either be left out, sounding clean but flat maybe?, or some detail is assumed/reconstructed based on "theory"? So the risk is it sounds killer, but is not purely Led Zeppelin. And it might be 99.5% Led Zeppelin, but that's a big difference. But at some point in the future there will be killer quality Zep boots we don't have now I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not enough people talk about Jimmy's tone. This is LP butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
