Hi Josie,

The following method by Kenny Gioia using ReaComp (or any other compressor) is something that I'd try in this situation. I use this approach with ReaComp for de-essing and it's excellent. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy.



The basic principle is...

1. Identify the range of frequency inhabited by the sound you want to remove.

2. Send that range of frequencies to a compressor (say,
ReaComp) on a second track.

3. Have the track compress just this range of frequencies.

Adjusting the amount of compression can make quite a difference. Also, the ability to narrow the range of frequencies is also very useful.

======

Another approach from Kenny that might also be useful is to create a band/channel splitter that allows for a particular frequency range to be manipulated with specific plugins. I've found that this is quite a useful technique sometimes.




Hope these thoughts open up some possibilities for you.
Noel
