Any suggested processes for fixing/reducing poorly fretted rhythm guitar chords?
Most of the problem seems to above 6khz.
I’ve sort of been manually erasing by about 3-6db above that range for the parts that really bad and then also using some Soothe2 with high sharpness above that range with a slow attack/release.
I’m going to try maybe using Levels
Unfortunately it was a vocal+guitar performance with 2 mics, so it makes brasher moves a bit tricky, the vocal will get caught up in any process.
edit
It seems like Unmix Components, and then selecting the Noise Layer, and doing another round of Unmix Components on it, and then doing some controlled erasing on that Sub-Noise Layer might help a bit.
If there’s vocals involved I’d definitely start with Unmix Noisy Speech. That should clear at least most of the vocals, if not all of it. The other unmix modules should always come after this one, in my opinion.
For the noise itself, I’d try a combination of Clone Stamp and Heal, depending on each case (clone stamp can bring along the wrong resonances depending on the chords played, so it will not work indiscriminately). It is possible that a simple bi-directional heal on the noise bursts will work everytime, with a touch of eraser to bring the level of the healed parts down into the surrounding levels where needed.
For rattly frets on a guitar with vocals, first run Unmix Noisy Speech to isolate vocals. Then use Unmix Components on the guitar/noise layer. Tackle problem frequencies (above ~6 kHz) with careful erasing, Clone Stamp, or Heal, keeping levels natural. Avoid broad processing to prevent affecting the vocal.
