Title: Can anyone figure out what to do with this distortion.
Post by: ethan on February 01, 2014, 01:30:41 PM

Something went very bad with the Trombone mic/effects chain. Attached is a sample? Any way to remove this kind of noise? This is from the SBD.  I'm sure it was intentional but this shit is annoying as all hell. I need some way to mitigate it. Any suggestions?

I think learning to love it will be your only option  :-\

If its only the trombone you need from that channel, you could EQ it to knock down the upper mid harmonics and make it considerably less grating. 

If that's the SBD intended to be matrixed in for more than the bone alone, then its harder to get away with doing that without screwing up everything else along for the ride in there.. yet if there is little to no bone hash in the other matrix source, you might be able to EQ that alternate source the other way to tonally compensate for whatever bone moan correction you feel is necessary in this one.  Takes listening and adjusting the two complementarily EQs iteratively until you get it dialed in, which might be more effort than you care to spend even if it works.

It's in the SBD. I've been patching sections with the stage mics. Works fine when there are no vocals.
