Hi all, In the same effects menu within the latest Goldwave, you have options to boost bass, remove base, reduce base, and for that matter do the same to mid and treble. This has the advantage over Norman Octon's solution, that you play with one end of the dynamic range at a time. In his example, by improving the base you can have problems with the treble. There again, if the result of his solution is too much treble, you can reduce it. And, of course, if you don't like the results of your action wen you hear them, you can always undo.

I suggest contact the sender and ask for his sample, for I no longer possess what he sent. A message about removing excessive bass in GoldWave.

In goldwave, go to Effects, Filter, Equalizer. From the presets, select Inverse RIAA EQ curve. The effect was to remove too much base and boost the treble too much, so I modified the numbers a bit. I'll send you my result.
