Hi,
I just recorded a great Acoustic Guitar track that has string squeaks that I want to try and calm down. Maybe thru a deEsser or EQ..Any helpful suggestions rather than re recording?
Thanks,
 
I'm not sure how to get the squeaks out of an already recorded track, but I'll give you some advice to keep the squeaks out of future acoustic guitar tracks...

This is a trick that I first heard of from Ricky Skaggs... I also mainly record bluegrass/acoustic music and have tried this and it works...

Use a heavy piece of poster paper and put it between your strings and fretboard, to protect the fretboard... Then using '000' steel wool, "polish" the tops of the strings where you will be noting them...
