Using The De-Esser

Reduce distracting S and T sounds in a vocal or spoken recording. Choose how the processor reacts so the voice retains its natural brightness between sibilant moments.

A starting point

Locate the troublesome frequency area, set threshold and range for the required reduction, and compare wide-band with split-band operation. Adjust release and Mix while listening to whole words.
