Any advice on removing transient noises?
I have a recording of my daughter playing a rapid fiddle peice and for some reason (I don't know what she was doing) on some of the runs there's a brief squeek. I've been able to reduce it a bit by using the parametric EQ and sharply attenuating a narrow band around 3300Hz, but the squeek is only less instrusive - it's still there and I know I'm supressing other tones that shouldn't be reduced.
I've also just realized that I have a bad habit when playing my Stratocaster using the middle pickup of hitting it with the pick. (I kept hearing this "click" sound on my recordings and it took a while to figure out what it was.)
Is there a preferred method for removing transient noises while mixing? Or is it really a matter of making sure the initial recording is clean and using punch-ins to fix problems? (Okay, that would be better - but if I don't notice the problem while recording then what?)
