Title: High Pitched Whine On An Old Recording
Post by: jamroom on September 14, 2008, 02:04:33 PM

I recently received a cd-r which was a rip of a bootleg cd-r. At the beginning of the second track is an insistent high-pitched noise which is constant and runs for the remainder of the disc. It's just on the verge of driving me nuts. Is this something I can remove? I'm using Audition v2.

Thanks for any help.

It sounds like a notch filter would help.  You might be able to get away with attenuating or dropping out a very small frequency band that encompasses the whine.

Thanks for the pointer - much appreciated. I don't have much time to do anything about this till next week, but if I am successful, I'll post back.
