Herb,

This opens up a whole 'nother can of worms. I wish the squeaks weren't there in the first place and I don't understand why they are. When you find just the right real track and it has bunch of squeaks it is annoying as all get out.

Some have written posts on how to spend four hours with spectral editing to rid of squeaks. I don't want to spend four hours. I don't want them there in the first place.

I play barre chords all day lay long and just lift my barre finger up and move it quietly so I make no squeaks. Some of these moves are in milliseconds. But if your technique is right, you won't squeak. It is part of proper technique. I wish they would ask some of those acoustic players to take another pass if the squeaks are out of control.

I will just play it myself it looks like it will take more than 10 minutes.

My next mix and master will take another few hours. Those few hours are less easy to come by than they used to be.

Maybe that is why I am cranky.
