I get glitches on tracks which are difficult to replicate or replace. Example: I had an acoustic guitar track which took 12,000 takes (+ or -) and on playback, it was indeed the best track - except for the bit where I lightly kicked the mic stand. Also, hand squeaks on the guitar neck are sometimes too loud to be acceptable, fingers banging into strings......
How do you remove these? Is it always possible? If a note (or 'blob,' as Melodyne calls it) contains guitar sounds and kick-the-mic-stand sounds, can they always to separated?
So what works: pitch correction software? Which one? Cutting and boosting frequencies? I haven't got the hand of that, because ignorant noises seem to have the habit of not confining themselves to any particular frequency band, near as I can tell.
I'll throw in a question about pitch correction software generally: someone on a forum posted that some of those softwares analyse an entire track and make subtle but audible changes to the track, even if you actually change only one note, leaving the track with a "plasticy" sound, whatever that is. So..... do Melodyne and competitors guilty of that? Is the nature and/or quality of the sound changed at all by whatever translation goes on in the software?
Whew!
Thanks for any advice.
