When you play guitar without recording you always "hear" some swishing... but what you "listen" to is music.<br><br>I would never use a notch filter for that. <br>Killing a range of audible frequencies to avoid some natural swishes it's not a good idea at all IMHO.<br>
<br>A better idea is to use the greasy skin (e.g. behind the ears :-) ) or vaseline to lubricate the fingertips in order to minimize swishes.<br><br>r<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/2/24 lanas <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lanas@securenet.net">lanas@securenet.net</a>></span><br>

<br>
Regarding recording accoustic guitars (regular steel string and bass)<br>
is there a trick of some sort to minimize the sound of fingers sometimes<br>
swishing on the strings ? A bit of Finger Ease gets rid of some, but<br>
there's some of that sound that still creeps from time to time. Proper<br>
technique might not always be a solution. I'm more thinking along the<br>
lines of some notch filter but have no idea of the frequency (nor which<br>
filter in Ardour) to use, that is, if it's worth a try. I use a<br>
M-Audio microphone, which might not be the best, but then I'd need some<br>
convincing to believe that a top quality mic would actually do<br>
something concerning this. Perhaps better focus on the sound source.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions/ideas welcomed.<br>
<br>
Cheers.</blockquote></div><br>
