I've recorded a new song, and on the vocal take you can occasionally hear the click track (coming through the head phones)!!

Is there anyway at all to remove this. I use Adobe Audition. (Cool Edit) but am willing to get any suggested programs.

Also. Can you get real time limiting software?

Thanks,

Rich ;)
 
please post your signal chain. it could be the click track is leaking through another way.
 
It's not. If I solo the any instrument except the vocals you can't hear it. Also to further my theory, the vocalist (me) wears one headphone off his head to pitch easier.
 
Yeah, if you are singing into a condensor mic and monitoring through headphones with one ear cup off, you can't avoid bleed. You would have to turn the headohone volume down so low it would be worthless. Also, why are you listening to the click when singing vocals? Have you not recorded your rhythm tracks yet?
 
Insert a gate and tweak it till the click goes away. Hopefully your vocalist was singing quite a bit louder than the click can be heard.

I record vocals with a click because vocalists have this tendancy to ad lib at times, and if they prolong a note, and the harmony note isn't prolonged it sounds crap.

I'll try gating it.

No-one's answered this, can I get a real time, SOFTWARE, limiter?


Cheers,
Rich

Roll the click off of the side of the can you don't use.
 
Whoa.... that is a good idea.... I dunno if I can do that the way I do it though.

Sometimes I get bleed even when wearing the phones normally. Only on really soft parts though, and most of the time I just dont bother to do anything about it, as it's not that big of a deal for me.
 
It's too late now, but in the future, roll off some of the high end on the click signal, or choose something different than the typical wood block sound. That will go a long way in reducing click bleed. To try and fix the damage already done, try feeding the click signal back into your mix, but with the polarity reversed. It might help, then again maybe not, but it's worth a try.

Get a pair of the extreme isolation headphones. I press the two ear pieces together and heard absolutely nothing, even at loud volumes. The Sennheiser closed back HP's are pretty good too, better sound quality but not as much isolation (despite what the ad's say)
