Keep in mind, a coiled guitar cable might well degrade sound quality a small amount.

comment Recognizing notes within sound?
Asking for "ideas" is a forum-style question that isn't really a good question for this site. Stack Exchange sites are designed to answer specific, answerable questions. This page could be useful to you: Good Subjective, Bad Subjective. You also might get better suggestions if you post a more tech-type question on Stack Overflow.

comment Recognizing notes within sound?
This question could be clearer. Are you asking how to recognize notes from a sound sample, or you asking for ideas because you're stuck?

comment How to amplify mans voice in a noisy recording?
I suspect the answer is going to boil down to using EQ cleverly, but if you can figure out how to filter out a sound source based on a comparison recording, I have a lot of live band tapes with sound source spillover that could benefit from such a technique.

I thought Geoff Emerick invented it, but it was apparently Ken Townshend.

comment How should I improve my singing?
Are you asking how to be a better singer, or how to record vocals in the studio that sound good despite not having vocal chops? These are very different questions. (Also, there's a Musical Practice and Performance proposal at Area 51, you might consider commiting to it.)

comment Old portastudio audio — can bounced tracks be separated out?
I used this technique to get a bass-heavy version of the "band" track and panned it to one side. Mixed with a re-recorded version of the bass track, this actually adds a lot of depth to the recording, and allowed me to mix the original "band" track so the listener now hears the acoustic guitar more distinctly.

We could probably use an audio-restoration tag, could someone with enough rep please create it?
