Hello!

I have this audio file i would like to use for my custom weapon pack i am creating for DayZ but in the audio file there is a ping sound of the shell ejecting mixed in with the shooting sound fade-out, i am by no means mediocre at audio editing or messing around with audio softwares so bare with me!
I am just wondering if there is any way i can filter it out somehow without distorting the main audio too much? or perhaps even completely remove it!

Here is the audio file if you would like to take a quick look and see if its actually possible or not!

I think that's removable with Audacity's spectral editing tools.

Any chance you could explain what you did or somehow show me what you did? i tried following the video you linked but i cannot wrap my head around how to figure out what part the ping sound is, like i said i by no means even mediocre at this and only just downloaded the program!

If you compare the before-after spectrograms you can see what has been removed ...
