Ron,
Regarding your question, "can sqeaks be removed digitally?"
Not that i know of. I think many people, like the DJ in question,
assume that can be done, because "Hey, look at all the technical
marvels in audio today" They automatically assume things
like that are possible. But they just arent.
There are frustrated players out there, that wishfully believe
its true, because it makes them feel like, hey, the pro's squeak too,
they just edit it out.
But no, thats not the case. Fact is, they simply PLAY WELL. Go figure...[8|
The process in question would involve some way to
enter the Wav file, and attenuate only the squeak sound, while
leaving the guitar sound alone.
From what i know, there's no way to isolate two different sounds
that exist within the same wav file.
It would be like, say you had a recording of a Guitar and a Saxophone,
both recorded at the same time, in mono, to a single track, or wav file.
Now, there's no way to digitally remove the sax sound from the recording.
Its in there. Thats it. Similar issue. The squeak is there. YOu cant touch
it without disturbing the guitar.
If this technology does exist, i dont know about it.
You could however, use a band-sensative compressor to attenuate
the squeak slightly, but it would rather painstaking, and the results
wouldnt be that much better. If you were to just reduce the volume
of the squeaks between notes, it would sound completely unatural as well.
The moral is, learn to play without squeaking. It can be done.
It takes work. But only if you play classical.
For flamenco!????? Who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![:D][:D]
