Default Re: Too much fret noises

Some suggestions:

1. Use a better/different mic - try a condenser instead of a dynamic; they have higher output mostly, so you can mic from one or two feet away no problem
2. Mic from farther away with your current mic(s)
3. Move the mic around to minimize the string noise; changing the mic position can make a huge difference (point more towards sound hole instead of fingerboard, for instance)
4. Try a de-esser on the track to reduce the string noise; sometimes that works better than automation. You can also automate the de-esser.
