In many of my recordings (mostly quieter or acoustic songs) there is a good amount of string buzz that is unrelated to the playing and simply comes from the string rattle getting picked up by the pickup or mic.
I can live with the noise, but would rather have the option to minimize it.
I'm wondering what a good way to go about removing and, more likely, lessening this is. I've tried some EQ'ing, but it hasn't done as good of a job as I'd hoped.

My mistake, i meant Q, idk y i spelled it like that haha. but on the pro tools 7 band eq insert, there is a dial on each frequency control that is called q, lower that dial all the way to the left on your yellow channel. then raise the yellow dot on your eq alllll the way to the top. when the q is all the way down the specific channel of your eq will only effect a very small range of frequencies. Loop a part where your string buzz is noticably bad, and move the yellow dot (still at the top) left and right (you'll hear a phaserish sound) and when you find a point(s) where all you hear is buzzing or ringing, lower those frequencies until that sound is reduced or eliminated from your sound. Thats one thing i do on all of my tracks to make sure im getting a nice pure sound. I hope that helps a little

You can send the track to someone like me who has spectral editing software, I'll clean it up and send it back to you or.... use a DAW that has the software I use
examples of DAW's and a cross thread for more on this...: Sequoia or iZotope

Until I watched this, I had no idea it was possible. Now I'm even more convinced about Samplitude Pro X Suite. You can remove finger noise without having to redo the track. Check out Samplitude's Visual Spectral Cleaner here:
Cheers!

Thanks for sharing that!
True but unless it's been updated it's not in the same depth to what you can do with spectral editing software.
Melodyne, which I use both studio and the plugin are both excellent but very cpu intensive. The software also recreates a wave rather than allowing us to tweak the original wave, thus duplicating and adding the need to run in the background.
But yes, Melodyne is another option!

How long is it until there's a fret noise generator, plugin. "To add that authentic human feel to your recordings. Today." Lmao I can hear the ad in my head.
I love this forensic editing. The more automated problem solving tools are the better imo. As long as they work, I'd rather not tweak them at all.

I use iZotope Spectral Repair plugin for this type of thing. Most fret noise I leave in, that's how a guitar sounds! I only apply editing when the noise is particularly loud or ill-timed.
The iZotope suite of plugins is an invaluable toolbox. I often apply the denoiser plug to totally remove hums or background ambient noise.

I'm with you Jeff, in fact I've never removed a fret or string slide on my performances. If they are there, its because I wanted it lol!
I do however remove and edit endlessly for others as mass requests the perfect world but never for my own personal work. I even leave the odd tuning discrepancy or intonation suspects because thats how guitars sound. But, as pro's know, we buy an instrument that was measured right in the design and has a good neck etc. We learned years ago how to play and tune so this is really coming from the need of the new generation feeling we all need to sound like pop electronics.
Spectral Editing is amazing though. I do love it but more for other reasons.
I'm with you.
