Reducing interference on drum tracks -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Reducing interference on drum tracks Posted by: Djahjah Date:8/22/2001 8:03:46 AM Hi, I need some help. I´m new to Soundforge and still learning and I don´t know if my question is of a amateur but i´m trying. I´m a drummer and recorded some drum tracks, but did 2 sessions. On the second one I think the mic was too close to the cymbals so when I hit them very hard a "snap" would come right after the impact sound. It shows up like 3 or 4 times per song. I have to use that session, how can I reduce the snap sound considering it´s not so loud and after I put other instruments over it it will be overcovered. I just need to reduce it. Somebody told me its in the "process" part on the top menu and to put something down to 85%. I cant find it. Can anyone help me? Thatks.

Try one mic far away and one mic closer to the drumset. You might need to boost your input volume a bit. Just experiment - that's the fun of it all.

Zoom in and select the offending portion, go to Process>Smooth/Enhance and try different settings. Perhaps someone with more knowledge can give a better method?
