I've recorded a guitar track and during playback i can easily hear the sound of my hand sliding on my guitar fretboard. I play with distortion (metal type). I have try to reduce it using eq after the track is recorded but no result...I wish i could not change my distortion sound 'cause i like it that way...any advices?

Thanks

I have had great success using Izotope Rx 2 to spectrally edit out guitar squeaks, it may work for fret noises too.

Are you using it as a vst during recording? How does it works?

R-Mix?

Play better.  Sorry, not being a smartass.  More precise chord changes works best of all.  Just hit those chords right on, and deaden the strings in-between changes.  I can always tell a sloppy player by those string noises.

I don't know that it is sloppiness since I have picked up noise from some great players, but Finger Ease will help some (for next time).

drop a notch filter in the 2-4 k frequency,drop it down slide it back and forth between 1.5-5k like i said above looking for the offender.
just be carefull you dont dorwned out the sparkle of the instrument.

compression can also blow up fret noise.if your squeezing to tight it comes with the territory,make adjustments.

konrahdh is got the best idea yet though,lemon oil or fenders fret cleaner.
you dont need much.

Hello,
As a guitar player myself, I too will sometimes get frustrated with "FRET NOISE".  I have come to the conclusion after playing for some 30 odd years, that dedication to practice is the best result.  I have changed to different strings which reduces the noise somewhat, and I also use FINGER EASE which is a spay for the fretboard.  I hear your pain.   

Just my 2 cents
Good Luck

I've used a de-esser (spitfish from digital fish phones) in the past to help reduce the level of slide noise.  Also some highly-zoomed (and quite tedious) WAV editing in Sound Forge (or other WAV editor of choice).

I do think that if you just try to filter the noise out via an EQ filter, you might be EQing out some wanted harmonic frequencies, thereby altering your tone in a possibly negative way.

The best advice has been offered above: replace your strings (both size, type), a bit of the finger-ease and a bit of practice on your parts, then re-record.

Best,

You could experiment with a gate. When using heavy distortion its hard to not hear your fingers sliding on the strings. If u like ur distortion then leave it alone. The more u play the better youll get at not sliding youre fingers on the strings.
