Use an analyzer to determine at what frequencies the esses are jumping out and reduce them considerably.Īlternatively, reducing the esses pre plug-in chain is a more precise way to do this. The frequency that you want to reduce can usually be set, as well as the threshold (minimum level at which it starts working) and the amount of reduction in dB. Many times you don’t need all of them.ĭo you feel the sound of the vocal leans towards too much sibilance? Time to use a De-Esser, which is a spe- cialized compressor that has an EQ in the sidechain re- sulting in reducing passages with a lot of treble between 5-12kHz to be reduced in level. None of these building blocks need to do the „heavy lifting“ on their own, each has their own role, and less is more.īypassing one or more building blocks is an option. This chain has 3 dynamics processors with EQs in between, they are kind of „sharing“ the work that has to be done. Also, watch your gain staging – make sure the level that comes in at each building block is similar to the output. Go back and forth between the building blocks and re-adjust.
Just as an example, you will need to re-adjust the sibilance once you’ve added the final „attitude“- compressor. I say this now, and I’ll say it a few more times in this book: keep going back between these building blocks for fine tuning. Start by leveling the untreated lead vocal so that it sits a little low in the track, just loud enough so you can understand the lyrics and follow the melody.

I always use my small portable stereo-speakers for that. All of the following, please do at a low listening level.
