Acoustic Guitar Bangs!

Quote:Maybe a mix of things (no pun intended) will work. Try eqing and clipping, but for the clunks that you can't eliminate or mask, maybe a punch edit will work--you only re-record a few seconds of the tune. You can also try redoing the whole track and then using the pieces from each take that sound best. That way the cool licks that you "can never do again" can be preserved and you might even do something better.Thanks Ed.

Quote:hi michael,I didn't read all the post before mine.I'm a guitarist myself and I think I know what you mean: you've hit the body of your guitar with a plectrum, so there are some "clicking" sounds on tape now.spontaneous I'd say: either cut and edit (cut out the parts with the clicks and replace them with "clean" parts from another section (but the same chord/rhythm) of the song) or re-record.hope that helps,cheers, martinThanks Martin.

Quote:Do these guys know their stuff, or what, Michael? Wow! I am going to remember that trick of boosting a frequency to get rid of it.I guess I should have been more clear on this point. The boosted frequency is never passed through to the output when it is run in to the sidechain input of a compressor, it is just used to trigger the compressoion. The original signal is split, one part (un-EQ'd) goes through the normal input to the compressor and the EQ'd version (with the offending frequency boosted) is run in to the sidechain input.What you essentially get is a frequency dependent volume control. Hope this clears things up regarding boosting a frequency to get rid of it.Mazz

You could think of it that way Ed
