Here's your MP3 with some excitation and that bass shelf I mentioned, a little more compression (while I was at it), and the RX string squeak applied globally: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aHt...ew?usp=sharing And here's a level-matched version of the original (to avoid loudness bias): https://drive.google.com/file/d/14x_...ew?usp=sharing Just tinkering. As you said, there's a point where you've probably learned about all there is on a project, and you take that to the next one, where, hopefully, you'll remember a lot more than I do ...

Bob Womack has posted some stories here about working magic on absolutely trashed audio, but it takes a lot of effort. As you've surmised, getting better takes in the first place saves a lot of work in the end. |

Squeaks are generally too long for the spectral repair module (operating in a mix) because the surroundings are not constant enough. Clicks and such are pretty easy, and sibilance can be done, but also needs to be bounded both time and frequency, though vocal sibilance doesn't move around as much, i.e., like the squeaks, in frequency for a vocalist (IMO/IME). And there are often only a few that stick out in a mix.

I will have some time to spend on this later this week; I'm going to give it a go with several approaches, then decide if it's better to just re-track the parts. My intent with this project was to learn more about the process and the tools available. From that perspective, it's absolutely been a success. The next one will be an order of magnitude better, simply from knowing what to strive for in the early steps.

I think you need access to individual tracks to do this level of repair effectively. It definitely gets more difficult, if not impossible, if your repair is affecting the entire mix. You can get much better results if you can apply the changes to only the instrument in question. Stuff like string squeaks especially, since they tend to be (relatively) long in duration (as compared to a pop) and can have a wide and varied frequency makeup.

OK, here's a pass with some of the most egregious squeaks removed with fader automation:
