Hello.

I'm kinda making this tune to showcase the sound of a V-stack pedal I bought second-hand.
On the bass-track, it makes a loud noise when switching on and off...:mad:

Is there a way to veil that noise somehow???


Just a preliminary mix of the guitars and bass, no drums or anything yet:



too loud them damn clicks.... even in the mix.:(

All OD/distorted sounds, and clean guitars (volume down from guit) are through that pedal....
 
My only advice with the clicks is to record the different sections seperately i.e. no pedal changes, then chop up the tracks and make into 1 track with no clicks/pedal changes.

p.s. really like the riffs!
 
Doh!....
quite obvious akshully....:D

I'm just too lazy to retrack.:o
 
I don't have time to listen right now but you should be able to zoom way in on your audio editor and envelope the tiny space where the click occurs. This is of course if you don't want to do later. the more obvious answer that was mentioned earlier. Of Course, if you are trying to showcase the pedal and the pops/clicks are really that bad, then perhaps you don't want to remove them? I as a guitarist would want to know about that, if someone was raving about a certain pedal and I was checking out the audio clips. Just my 2 cents. Ill check and listen later.
 
Yes.


If the pedal was new I'd certainly leave the cracks in there.
But it's second-hand, and it's faulty switch is known to be a "default" glitch,,..:rolleyes:

And on the other hand..., I ofcourse try to make the best song/sound I can, the sound is EQ:d allready.:o ...just want to know the simple way to remove those noises... They aren't many, so closing in on them and removing seems the best option.

I'll bring the bass up a bit, since that's the sound I'm showing here as a bassist.
Then I'll slap/program some drums in there, keyboards choruses and whatnot cheesyness I can think of!!:D:D:D
 
Ok didn't catch earlier that it was on the bass and not the guitar. This should be a simple fix in almost any audio editor. Zoom in on the bass track and either envelope the "spike" or silence it completely. Either way I think it is going to be way less noticeable once there are drums and Vocals? Keys? etc.
 
The pedal is used on bass, distorted guits and clean guits, with volume reduced from guitar.

But as a bassist, I'm trying it on bass.....
...had it on rehealsals this evening.... no good.:(
tracks WAY too slow... a full SECOND after the pick-hit the volume grows to full...:confused::eek:

But on DI, seems to work if not switched... YARGHH... dont' buy this shite.:mad:

...how's the sound??.. can't trust me ears, sounds spiky, harsh, bassy, still workable though.. But I like the tube-presss better though... love the midrange.:cool:

third liter of beer going on after three sober weeks is starting to run into head here.:o;):D Hiccup!...:o
 
I like the progression, reminds me of a deftones thing, cool stuff, I totally get this, needs a killer slow drum beat and some distorted vocals:eek::rolleyes:
