STUBBORN THUMPS
Hello, and Happy 2020
In my editing of an audiobook, following the author's notes, I am instructed to remove "thumps" which I missed in my first pass. It has taken me a while to even hear these, but I have finally found them and been able to isolate their sound print in the spectral view.
The problem is, I am not sure these are actual "noise" -- I can't seem to filter them out, and their signature in the spectral view shows more of a sound "hole" rather than a "thump." Still, there is something noticeably wrong to the ears of the boss, and I am trying to figure out how to deal with it.
We do have the option of re-tracking these segments, but I would MUCH rather figure out how to correct these in Audition.
Can any of you hear the thump, under the word "lying" in the attached sample? Any suggestions on how to fix it?
Thanks very much.
Rob

P.S. I just found the related discussion, [https://community.adobe.com/t5/audition/unexplained-thumps-link-to-example/td-p/9998887] and I am trying the high pass filter as suggested in there by SteveG. I will report back.
Tried that -- on my audio, the generic hi-pass filter knocks out a lot of the bass in the voice itself, so I am leery of using that.... may need to call in the audio surgeon.
