How getting rid of the hard sound in djembe high notes?

(Audacity 2.1.2 on Vista)

Hi,

I have a problem with the hard sound of djembe in the higher notes. I want this sound to be as distinctive in the mix as it is but I want the higher notes to be softer. Is that possible? Anyone has any tips on how to do this because I don’t get there…

Regards

The free version of Couture works in Audacity on Windows,
but you’ll need the old (1.2?) version if you’re still on 32-bit Audacity.

Audio Assault’s “Transient” is easy to use, but the old free version is hard to find … https://youtu.be/d1lZmMQEeL0

Assault’s Multi Transient is on sale at Multi Transient – Audio Assault for $5.99 (from $39.99)

Hi,

I used Audio Assault’s Transient but this didn’t work enough for me. Then I tried Bittersweet by Flux and I could make the sound a bit softer. But I needed 100% of the ‘sweet’-option :laughing: So therefore I must thank you guys for your answers !!
