High-Pass Filtering
- Use high-pass filtering to remove subsonic frequencies from acoustic guitar recordings.
- This cleans up the low end without noticeably affecting the guitar's tone.
Resonance Issues
- Address resonant imbalances between notes using narrow-band EQ cuts.
- Avoid using compression for this, as it creates tonal inconsistencies.
Pick Noise Reduction
- Reduce excessive pick noise with a fast multiband compressor.
- Focus the compression on frequencies above 5 kHz to avoid dulling the guitar's tone.
