Hi all

Actually it isn't bad at all but several inital comments on this particular
track I'm mixing is there's too much fret noise on the acoustic.

Most of it is between chords (picking)

One thought was using a de-esser...all other's are more than welcome

Don

Are you talking about strings buzzing against frets, or fingers
chirping and squeaking on the string windings? Cuz I've solved the latter
to my satisfaction by switching to Elixirs. To fix the noise that's already
there, I'd be inclined to just go in there with a wave editor and manually
fix the noises one at a time, but then, I'm obsessive. :)

Manully editing might be the best bet... Don, if you're trying
a de-esser for that, you might need like 3 or 4 of 'em in a
row, each centered on different frequencies. Fortunately,
Spitfish doesn't take up much CPU power (if that's what you're
using).

Also, you could try re-micing it through your monitors (muting
the playback on the recording channel) with a dynamic mic
backed-off a bit from the speakers... whatever you do, don't
compress when playing back to re-mic if you try this. That'll
just make the squeak stand out more.

Wanna send me a sample of the wav file & I'll see if I can come
up with an idea for you?

neil, how about something like denoiser? if you can get a clean sample of
the fret noise denoiser will wipe it and interpolate signal befor and after
that spot.sound forge denoiser works pretty good for things of that nature
.. never tried it for fret noise though.

I don't know - maybe that'd work... problem with trying to
grab "a" sample of the noise is that that kind of noise isn't
consistent at all - it varies in pitch & harmonic content quite
a bit from one "squeek" to the next.

I've been dialing in the squeaks with the Cambridge EQ and notching the
squeakyfreqs out in in Cubase SX. works great. without the Cubase editor I
would die.

The Spectral Cleaner in Samplitude 9 can do a great job depending on the source.

When I first tried Elixirs I thought they were dull. Turns out they were
even and balanced sounding. I'm now hooked on them and my Martin acoustic
can go up to a year without replacement while regular strings only lasted
3 months for me.

Big Elixir fan here.

Hi All

I tried a basic Waves De-esser and had limited success on a single pass and
should I go this route will more than likely will have to break up the track
in "squeak keys" tracks and address each section with an appropriate setting

Fortunately we're in the preliminary stages of mixing and right now these
acoustics are quite prominent in the mix...dropping them a db or 2 seems to
reduce the apparent # of squeaks making editing a real possibility

DOn

neil,I dont know man .If were not putting fret noise in, to make a sampler
sound more realistic, were trying to remove it from the real deal for a
cleaner sound. does it ever end?

Worst case scenario - strategic surgical editing - to just get the really
noticable squeeks attenuated or removed...wouldn't even dream of a full song
edit as squeaks are part of the playing and I personally think they add
character to the track
