What filter for

[TedChoate]

Does anybody have any experience getting rid of that "sh-h-h-h" sound on LPs?
I can't get rid of it without affecting the program, especially the softer passages which come out as though they're passed through a bandpass filter.

The sound I'm trying to eliminate is a regular sh-h-h-h (short duration) sound which occurs in regular patterns, as though the damage was perpendicular to the groove for several revolutions.
It's not a "click, pop or tick" and it's not continous eiher. I've tried notch, bandpass and other filters without success.
I can get it down to a managable level, but the program suffers when I do.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Re: What filter for \"sh-h-h-h\" sound?

You could try the De-Esser found in the Dynamics Processor under the effects menu. Also, consider the "selective" use of the Continuous Noise filter. Most likely, I would think that he multiband compressor that we added to Millennium and Live products would best be able to attenuate such a signal.
