I am currently trying to fix a badly done VHS-to-DVD transfer. The video portion is mostly figured out and now I'm turning my eye to the audio part. I plan to decode the MP2 to WAV, then use the following Nero Wave Editor filters:
- DC Offset correction
- Pop/click removal
- Enhancement (bass and high frequencies)
Thing is, I once was told that MP2 usually has a sort of "scritchy" sound in sibilances and transients and that it can do horrible things to TV pilot tones even at very high bitrates.
The suggestion was at the time to try Foobar2K's convolver plugin in order to avoid these two issues, but I have no idea neither where in the process chain to include it nor how to do it, so I wanted to know if you could either point me to a guide on how to do it or suggest me other alternatives. Thanks in advance.
