Song Check · Start with what you hear
Does your song sound like it is playing through a blanket?
If the words, drum hits, or other details are difficult to hear, try a different balance before making a permanent change. Your ears decide whether the result is closer to what you wanted.
Try it with your songYour original stays untouched. Every change is your choice.
Your recording. Your decision.

Muffled is different from quiet
A quiet recording can still have clear words and sharp detail. A muffled recording may stay difficult to understand even when you turn it up. First compare at a comfortable volume, and check another set of headphones or speakers before assuming the file is the problem.
Why the detail may be hard to hear
The original recording, a filter, a dark tonal balance, or overlapping instruments can reduce apparent detail. Heavy processing and lossy compression can also affect the sound. These possibilities are not interchangeable: turning up higher frequencies cannot reconstruct information that was never recorded or has been discarded.
Try the brighter option on your own recording
Song Check opens the whole-song brightness option after analysis. Request a preview, then compare the same section against your original. Listen to words, cymbals, and the beginnings of drum hits. If hiss or uncomfortable sharp sounds become more noticeable, reduce the adjustment or keep the original.
Choose the next step for the actual problem
If only the voice is unclear, an isolated vocal gives you more control than adjusting every instrument. If the recording has background hiss or crackle, audio restoration is a separate workflow worth reviewing. Neither a brightness adjustment nor restoration guarantees recovery of missing detail.
There is more than one way to shape your song.
The complete Song Check workspace also includes technical review, other sound choices, and a reference comparison. You can explore these with the same file using Quick Check, Guided, or Power mode—no second upload needed inside the workspace.

Questions before you start
Can this turn an MP3 into its original lossless recording?
No. You can adjust an MP3 and export a WAV, but a WAV export does not recover information discarded by the MP3 encoder.
Will making a muffled mix brighter remove noise?
No. Bringing out higher sounds can make existing hiss more noticeable. Use restoration for an appropriate noise-removal task, then compare the result carefully.
Can I keep the original if I dislike the result?
Yes. A preview is optional and does not overwrite the original file. Save only the changes you prefer, or download the original.
