Aug 08, 2004 08:27 pm You don't. If it was recorded with distortion, it will always have distortion. If your talking about hum, you can usually reduce it pretty well with a notch filter. I don't know if Cubase SX comes with various filter programs.

Well, it would be one thing if you wanted to add distortion/fuzz, but as far as removing it, I'm afraid once it's recorded, it's recorded . It's part of the waveform that you have documented . If you had recorded the track 'dry', and then applied the effect through a patch of some-sort, then it would be possible to do some pre amp shuff'ling .
There is something to be said about being 'stuck' with a recording, though. It's kind'a like phorography, in the sense that it captures your aproach and flaws, and thus becomes a good refference point for when if/when the work is redone under different circumstances .
Aug 09, 2004 12:14 am I believe he is referring to 60 cycle hum. I know my amp hums terribly when using distortion. The hum can be lessened using various filters and hiss removers. However, I find that this usually alters the sound of the entire track in a way that is not appealing. The best way to reduce the hum would be to put a Boss or HUSH noise reduction pedal in your effects chain. These pedals will effectively reduce the noise floor of your rig and you'll get a cleaner recording to begin with. That being said, I personally dont own either of these pedals, and actually LIKE having a little amp hum in my mix. If all you have is a little hum on a track, you may find it "disappears" in a mix. If your hum problems are substantial, the best solution is to eliminate the problem BEFORE recording.
