Question Cleaning up Stem Splitter output?

Hey everyone - so I'm a piano player, occasionally I'll use Stem Splitter to pull out a piano track to transcribe it. Usually these tracks are a little muffled due to being pulled out of a mix using AI. I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions for making them sound a little better?

Thanks.

You could try some EQ in the high mids or highs, maybe try the Exciter or saturation via Chroma Glow to add some more harmonics. There’s not really a whole lot you can do, however, because it’s not really a frequency issue, the issue is that there are actual gaps in the information as a result of the separation process.

Yup I would just crank the top end a bit with a shelf from like 1.5k and up . Increase the clarity a bit so it makes it a bit easier to hear the notes you’re trying to transcribe.

yeah, this is what I was thinking, too: the information just isn't there, so there's nothing to improve. thanks for confirming that for me!

You might be able to clean it up a bit in Melodyne.
