Today I was doing some mixing and I could not get the drums right. Every now and then there was an extra loud high pitched snare type hit totally different to most of the drumming. I did my usual and soloed the drums, they were fine. When I soloed the bass there were loud clicks. These clicks hit on beat with the kick and sometimes the snare making it appear the snare was at fault. Looking at the wave form showed nothing untoward. The Spectral Editor in Reaper clearly showed the click and made it easy to remove the noise.
For quite some time I have tried using eq to get shy of various unwanted noise without that much success. Today I spent time learning and using the Reaper Spectral Editor. This makes it easy to reduce or remove the fret squeaks that show up in the really nice acoustic picking one gets from BIAB.
Just some thoughts

I hear acoustic guitar squeaks on lots of “pro” productions. I think they are part and parcel of the acoustic sound...like a bit of breath intakes. Extraneous bass and snare noises not so good. FWIW
I agree some squeak or fret noise is more realistic or natural however when it is really loud it can become overbearing. To tame it is what I was getting at. To reduce it to where it lies in the background.

My 72 year old ears have been gone since I was in my 40’s. Profound high f loss and tinnitus. BUT, I have a brilliant Ph.D. audiologist and she’s taken me on as a research project I have a pair of very high end hearing aids and she and I have worked together on the compression settings and f band boosts (some up to 80db) for a program that lets me mix and another for enjoying the sounds of nature and more for general use. I can switch them via my iPone. She changed my life and made my younger wife’s life easier in the process - no more me thinking she’s mumbling, etc., incidentally Janice can hear that hummingbird at a quarter mile!
Looks really cool but not sure I would jump for $399.
That seems pretty pricey, all right!
It's basically a high-quality FFT/IFFT. There's nothing about the technology that's secret, so I'm not sure how that price is justified.
I picked it up a couple of years ago, and have used it to fix problems like squeaks and so forth. It's handy, but on an exposed track, there's going to be a noticable sound difference if there's a hole in the sound spectrum, so you've got to be careful using it.
Definitely something good to have in the arsenal of needed. I think there's a demo version, do you can play with it too make sure it's worth buying.
The thing I learned about tracking down noises is that you have to check all your tracks... Those sounds can hidden really well!
User Video: Band-in-a-Box® + ChatGPT = Impressed the BOSS!
Since AI is now readily available online as a resource for many things, we recently put together and shared a video where we demonstrated how to create a song using Band-in-a-Box®, ChatGPT, and Synth V; we've also shared a Bob Doyle Media video, Convert MIDI Chords into AI Vocal Harmonies with ACE Studio and Band in A Box, showing how they utilize AI for their song projects. Now it's time to share Henry's video, Band-in-a-Box + ChatGPT = Impressed the BOSS!, where he demonstrates how to use ChatGPT and Band-in-a-Box to whip a song project together in only 3-4 hours.
