Hi all,

Please excuse my rather basic way of putting this...

I'm going through some serious clothes noise over dialogue that was recorded direct to camera with a badly placed lav.
It is so bad I can picture the person talking whilst scratching the MIC with his nail.
Normally I don't have issues that are this bad (ADR is out of the question) and can get through it without to many troubles. I'm not sure the best approach.
I've already notched out certain frequencies in the dialogue to help reduce some of these noises, gotten rid of rumbles in the background. I've already told my client to NOT expect miracles. They think that by putting in a noisy background it'll improve things. For me, I'd rather spend the next 6 hours doing it right.
A bit of a dilema considering the ruslting is so thick and heavy.
I can't hire and do not have access to a Cedar (not even sure that would help!?). I'm using a friends RX in their studio.

Any ideas please?

Thanks very much in advance.

Lee
